When your opponent activates a Spell Card or effect (Quick Effect): You can banish 1 card from your hand or field; negate the activation, and if you do, banish that card.

Myutant Beast — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 60 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 61 · Deck: 61 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss / End-board · Secondary: Negation/Interaction, Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Myutant Beast is a disruptive board piece that provides hard Spell negation and Trap recursion, but its power is modest because it requires Myutant summon mechanics or Emergency Teleport to access, only negates Spells once per turn, and the combo evidence is too thin to confirm its actual impact. The broad archetype acceptance (35 distinct archetypes) suggests solid utility in constructed formats, but the lack of strong combo presence and the conditional accessibility prevent a higher score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Requires Myutant summon or Emergency Teleport for access; core to 44.2% pure Myutant decks but splashable in 35 archetypes via E-Tele (95.8% co-deck). (verified) |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Appears in only 1 recorded combo with power index 58; does not serve as starter, searched piece, material, or payoff in combo lines. (observed) |
| Resource Economy | 52 | Banishes 1 card from hand/field to negate Spell; can recur Myutant Traps on destruction, yielding roughly even resource trade-off. (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 68 | Provides hard negation of Spell Card activations (once per turn, Quick Effect) and blocks monster-effect targeting; covers significant meta disruption but limited to Spells. (verified) |
| Material Utility | 48 | Level 8 Beast/EARTH body with 2400/2400 stats usable as generic Synchro/Xyz material; heavy summon restriction limits flexibility outside Myutant context. (inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 62 | Immune to monster-effect targeting and can recur Traps on destruction; vulnerable to Spell/Trap-based removal and depends on Myutant summon access. (verified) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 64 | Runs 1.65 copies average across 400 decks with minimal garnet pattern; works in 35 distinct archetypes despite Myutant summon restriction. (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role: Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 61, Deck ≈ 61, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Summon restriction risk (-2); Broad archetype acceptance (1). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hard negation of Spell Card activations (once per turn, Quick Effect)
- Monster effect immunity provides protection from a significant class of disruption
- Trap recursion on destruction adds multi-turn recovery value
- Widely splashable across 35 distinct archetypes via Emergency Teleport support
- Core piece in Myutant decks (44.2% pure Myutant inclusion, 99% with Myutant M-05)
Weaknesses
- Heavy summon restriction (Myutant-locked without E-Tele support)
- Negates Spells only; cannot interact with Trap activations or Monster effects
- Banish cost for negation consumes resources from hand or field
- Once-per-turn limitation allows only one Spell negation per activation window
- Vulnerable to Spell/Trap-based removal and non-targeted destruction effects
- Combo evidence is minimal (only 1 recorded combo with power index 58; no active role in combo line)
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (negates summon and effects)
- Called by the Grave (removes from field, blocks recursion)
- Dimension Shifter (disrupts banish recursion)
- Raigeki and Lightning Storm (Spell-based board clears)
- Monster-effect destruction (Kaiju, Lava Golem, similar)
- Multiple Spell activations in sequence (can only negate one per turn)
Best use
End-board disruptive piece with Spell negation and Trap recursion utility. Decks: Myutant (primary), Psy-Frame, P.U.N.K., Nemeses, Kashtira (secondary).
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text is complete and clear (negation, recursion, targeting immunity confirmed); Can only be Special Summoned by Myutant card effects (verified from card text); Provides once-per-turn hard negation of Spell Card activations as Quick Effect (verified from text); Recurs banished Myutant Traps to hand when destroyed (verified from text); 44.2% of 400 analyzed decks are pure Myutant (deck data); 100% of 400 decks run at least 1 copy (verified from deck frequency); Runs 1.65 copies on average with distribution: 143 decks (1x), 254 decks (2x), 3 decks (3x); Emergency Teleport co-appears in 95.8% of all decks (verified from partner data)
- Observed: Card appears in 400/400 decks analyzed (100% universal inclusion in sample); Runs across 35 distinct archetypes (observed breadth); Myutant core cards co-appear at 98-99% co-deck rate (M-05, ST-46, Cry, Synthesis); Single combo recorded with power index 58 (recorded combo evidence); Card mentioned in 2 guides; both Thunder Dragon contexts (guide frequency)
- Inferred: Level 8 Beast/EARTH body can serve as generic Synchro/Xyz material despite summon lock (inferred from card mechanics); Myutant summon restriction is a heavy accessibility barrier outside pure archetype (inferred from card text); Emergency Teleport is the primary cross-archetype access route (inferred from necessity and co-deck %); Card functions primarily as mid-game board piece providing defensive disruption (inferred from effect profile and role text); Trap recursion value depends on prior banishing and destruction by opponent (inferred from effect conditions)
- Data gaps: No banlist token provided; card assumed to be at 3 copies (unlimited) Combo evidence extremely limited (1 recorded combo; card shows 0% participation in all structural roles) No top-card ranking data; card is not in any format's ranked top-card list Guides mention limited (2 guides total; both Thunder Dragon contexts) No duel result or tournament performance data; only deck lists and minimal combo proofs No metagame snapshot or time-series data; cannot assess adoption timing or meta shift correlation
