Myutant Clash

Myutant Clash — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 45 ± 7 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 42 · Deck: 47 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Negation/Interaction · Secondary: Utility

Why it scores here

Myutant Clash is a defensive archetype Trap whose main payoff is a soft, targeted effect negation that costs a Myutant banished from the GY, plus a conditional draw when a Level 8 or higher Myutant destroys a monster in battle. Its 0 ATK / 0 DEF stat line and total absence of a body earn it nothing here; the score comes almost entirely from the interaction axis and from 137 sampled decks treating it as a cheap one-slot role player. Because it builds no board and appears in zero recorded combo lines, both its intrinsic and deck ceilings stay modest.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: 0.7 Negation/Interaction + 0.3 Utility (default). Intrinsic ≈ 42, Deck ≈ 47, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Strengths

• Targets an opponent's Effect Monster and negates its effect for the turn, and the negation persists even if Myutant Clash leaves the field
• Repeatable +1 draw whenever a Level 8 or higher Myutant destroys a monster by battle
• Cheap to include: 121 of 137 sampled decks run exactly one copy with no lock or garnet cost
• All 137 sampled decks main-deck it, confirming it is a consistent role player inside Myutant

Weaknesses

• Strictly archetype-locked: it needs a Myutant in the GY to negate and a Level 8+ Myutant to draw
• Builds no board and converts into no combo line — 0 combo appearances in the evidence
• Trap speed: must be set and survives a turn before it can interact
• Only one Myutant Clash activation per turn, so multiple copies do not stack interaction
• Soft negation only — it does not stop summons, monster effects in hand/GY, or card activations

Counters / choke points

• Backrow removal such as Cosmic Cyclone or Twin Twisters before the negate resolves
• Negating the Trap's activation (e.g. Solemn Judgment / Solemn Strike)
• Denying the GY setup so no Myutant monster is available to banish
• Removing or preventing the Level 8+ Myutant bodies that enable the draw

Best use

One-of defensive interaction Trap; negate a key opponent Effect Monster and cash in the battle-destruction draw. Decks: Myutant, Nemeses (Myutant variant), Runick (Mysterune) Myutant hybrid. Suggested copies: 1.

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Card text: on activation, target 1 opponent Effect Monster, banish 1 Myutant from the GY, negate its effect until the end of the turn even if this card leaves the field; Card text: when your Level 8 or higher Myutant destroys an opponent's monster by battle, you can draw 1 card (once per turn); Card text: you can only activate 1 Myutant Clash per turn; Card is a Continuous Trap in the Myutant archetype with 0 ATK / 0 DEF; combo data: 0 total combos, 0 appearances, no examples
• Observed: 137 sampled decks run it, all main-decked (decks running it in the Main Deck 137, side 0); Average 1.15 copies; distribution 121 decks at 1, 11 at 2, 5 at 3; Co-deck partners are the Myutant core (ST-46 100%, M-05/Arsenal/Beast 99.3%, Ultimus/Synthesis 97.8%) plus Emergency Teleport 95.6%; 17 distinct archetype tags appear, but the overwhelming majority of decks are Myutant-labelled
• Inferred: Because there is no confirmed archetype searcher in the evidence, access depends on drawing the Trap and setting it; The negation is a soft, targeted one-for-one that does not stop summons or hand/GY effects; The battle-destruction draw only becomes live once a Level 8+ Myutant boss is already on board
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no dated metagame sample — meta power left null/provisional
