People Running About — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
People Running About is a Level-2 FIRE Pyro Normal Monster that functions purely as ritual or synchro material, with no inherent effects. It scores primarily on reliable material utility within specific homes, especially Dogmatika (68% inclusion), where it pairs 100% with Oppressed People and Huge Revolution in a dedicated ritual engine. The card generates no combo value on its own (zero combo appearances) and contributes nothing to resource advantage or disruption, keeping its score modest despite strong deck-level inclusion and clean material fit.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Consistently run at ~1.82 copies per deck across 28 decks with 100% pairing to Oppressed People and Huge Revolution, confirming access via dedicated ritual engine pieces in Dogmatika (verified) |
| Combo & Conversion | 0 | A Normal Monster with no effect text cannot generate combo lines; zero appearances in any recorded combo board (observed) |
| Resource Economy | 0 | Provides no card advantage, search, or graveyard refuel; purely a consumable material body (inferred) |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | Has no disruption, negation, or removal capability; purely a static monster with flavor text only (verified) |
| Material Utility | 75 | Level-2 FIRE Pyro clean body relevant for Ritual summoning (Advanced Ritual Art 71%, Saffira 68%) and synchro extension; zero self-locking restrictions (observed) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 25 | Once summoned or used as material, offers no recovery or multi-turn value; a single removal ends its presence (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Average 1.82 copies per deck (23 run 2, 5 run 1) with modest garnet risk; never in sideboard, suggesting deck builders tune around the clogging downside (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Garnet risk (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean Level-2 FIRE Pyro body with no self-locking restrictions or conditions
- Perfect fit for Ritual summoning engines (100% pairing with Oppressed People and Huge Revolution)
- Consistent 68% inclusion in Dogmatika confirms reliable use within a strong archetype
- Usable as synchro/xyz material even when negated, retaining baseline utility
Weaknesses
- No inherent effects or abilities; purely a static body with flavor text
- Zero combo value; does not appear in any recorded combo board despite 28 deck inclusions
- No resource advantage, card search, or disruption capability
- Modest garnet risk when drawn in multiples without immediate material outlet
- Deck-specific utility; not a generic staple and portable to only Ritual/Synchro-heavy homes
Counters / choke points
- Removal effects disrupt its use as on-field material or ritual component
- Negation of Ritual summons blocks its primary function as engine fuel
- Cards requiring archetype-specific names or conditions cannot use it
Best use
Ritual material body for Saffira and Dogmatika ritual engines. Decks: Dogmatika, Labrynth. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 2 Normal Monster, FIRE Pyro, no effect text (flavor only); 100% co-occurrence with Oppressed People and Huge Revolution across all 28 sampled decks; Dominant in Dogmatika (19 decks, 67.9%); secondary in Labrynth (4 decks, 14.3%)
- Observed: Average 1.82 copies per deck; 23 decks run 2, 5 run 1; zero in sideboard; Zero appearances in any combo board despite ubiquitous deck inclusion; Paired with ritual-heavy engine pieces: Advanced Ritual Art (71.4%), Saffira (67.9%), Dogmatika ritual synergies (67.9%)
- Inferred: Used as Level-2 Ritual material for Dogmatika Saffira and core ritual synergies; Garnet risk mitigated by deliberate 2-copy (not 3) inclusion tuning across all deck builders; Material utility of 75 based on clean Level-2 Pyro body with no self-restrictions for Ritual/Synchro without locks
- Data gaps: No combo data supplied (0 combos): combo conversion is inferred as zero because a Level-2 Normal Monster without effects cannot initiate lines No guide evidence: cannot confirm human strategic analysis of role or specific ritual targets No usage statistics (StatisticsCard available: false): Dogmatika and Labrynth inclusion percentages are deck-sample only, not cross-validated against larger archetype history No banlist token: assumed unlimited (3 copies) in all formats listed
