Why it scores here
Powered Crawler offers conditional monster removal and forced-attack disruption, but severe accessibility barriers and zero evidence of playable support limit its practical impact. The 2700 ATK body is respectable as material, and the removal effect functions against lower-ATK monsters; however, without a clear home or combo synergy, it reads as a niche tech in need of dedicated summoning support. The forced attack constraint is useful disruption but does not drive deck-building. High ATK does not earn points here—accessibility and deckbuilding feasibility dominate.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 15 | Level 7 EARTH Machine with no archetype or search route visible in text requires dedicated summoning support, making it difficult to access reliably. (Inferred) |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Destroys one opponent's monster with less ATK on summon, then forces remaining monsters to attack; this is disruptive but does not generate advantage or board presence. (Verified + Inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 35 | No searches, refuel, or milling; the net effect is destroying one opponent's card at the cost of one summon, roughly even-to-negative before follow-up turns. (Inferred) |
| Effect & Interaction | 50 | Conditional removal against monsters with less ATK than 2700 is moderate disruption; forced attack is situational control, avoiding hard negation. (Verified + Inferred) |
| Material Utility | 60 | Level 7 with 2700 ATK and no self-locks is usable generic material for Synchro/Xyz/Fusion, retaining value when the effect is blanked. (Verified + Inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | One-use effect per turn, no continuous protection, and vulnerability to out-of-range targets (higher ATK) or empty boards; minimal recovery or multi-turn staying power. (Verified + Inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 20 | Level 7 Normal Monster is a high garnet risk without a visible home archetype or redundant support line, severely limiting splashability. (Verified + Inferred) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board Breaker + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 39, Deck ≈ —, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: Final = Intrinsic (no decks and no combos; Deck = null)
Strengths
- Conditional monster removal against lower-ATK targets.
- Forced attack effect disrupts opponent's defensive strategies.
- Respectable 2700 ATK and Level 7 body provide generic material value.
Weaknesses
- Level 7 status creates severe summoning accessibility problems without dedicated support.
- No archetype home or visible search route in the current card pool.
- Removal effect is ineffective against high-ATK bosses (higher than 2700 ATK).
- Forced attack is situational and doesn't advance your own board state.
- High garnet potential makes it difficult to justify in most deck lists.
Counters / choke points
- High-ATK monsters (above 2700 ATK) ignore the removal effect.
- Hand traps that negate the summon prevent both effects from resolving.
- Opponent's empty board makes the forced attack irrelevant.

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: destroys 1 opponent's monster with less ATK on summon (verified from description).; Once-per-turn lock on destruction effect (verified from text).; Forced attack effect applies to all opponent's monsters if able (verified from text).; Level 7 EARTH Machine with 2700 ATK / 2000 DEF (verified from card stats).; No archetype membership shown (archetype: null in card data).
- Observed: Zero decks in sample (no deck synergy signals).; Zero combos in sample (no combo conversion data).; No guide mentions (no strategic context from the community).
- Inferred: Level 7 status without visible archetype suggests low accessibility and requires dedicated summoning support.; No text-based search route visible implies card must be manually summoned or searched generically.; Conditional removal (less ATK requirement) limits effectiveness against high-ATK bosses.; Forced attack is disruptive control, not board-building or advantage generation.; Level 7 body is generic Synchro/Xyz/Fusion material when effect is negated or not applicable.; Primary role: Board Breaker / Going-second, with secondary roles in Removal and Control.
- Data gaps: No decks supplied — deck/synergy signals unavailable. No combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference. No guides supplied — no community strategic context. No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % is unknown. No archetype membership in card data — unable to identify support cards or search routes. No banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited). No top-card ranking context — card is not in the competitive play sample.
