Predaplant Byblisp — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 61 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 63 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Byblisp's value is a GY-triggered search for another Predaplant monster plus a conditional GY revival, so it converts a card sent to the graveyard into a second card and a board body. Its 1900 DEF and Level 1 body earn little on their own, and that stat profile is not credited. The card appears in all 5 recorded boards, with an average power index of 82.2, but it is never a starter or searched piece there, so its combo score rests on support rather than initiation. Low distinct-archetype breadth and the Predator Counter dependency keep the intrinsic score moderate.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Needs to be sent to the GY before its search is live, which depends on Predaplant engine plays; it is present in 400 of 400 recent decks at 1.9 copies on average (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 62 | Appears in 5 of 5 recorded combos with an average power index of 82.2, but as_starter and as_searched are both 0 and it is only an end-board piece in 1 (observed, read with inference). |
| Resource Economy | 70 | The GY-send search is a net +1 card from the deck, and the conditional revival adds a body without spending a card (text-verified, with the magnitude inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 30 | A Level 1 DARK Plant body that is effect-negated but still a material; the Predaplant-specific fit is not established (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Both effects work from the GY and are limited to once per turn each, but the revival depends on a Predator Counter being on the field (verified text, inferred impact). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Low-cost single copy with no garnet or lock, and it runs at 1.9 copies on average across Predaplant lists (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 63, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Searches another Predaplant monster from the deck when sent to the GY, which is a card-neutral search
- Conditional GY revival lets it come back after it has done its search
- Present in 400 of 400 recent decks and in all 5 recorded combos
Weaknesses
- No interaction at all (no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect)
- Revival depends on a Predator Counter already being on the field
- Weak as a standalone body and dependent on the Predaplant engine
Counters / choke points
- No counter is in the evidence; a mass GY-based or field-based interruption would be the natural answer, but nothing is recorded.
Best use
GY search and recursion engine piece in Predaplant lines. Decks: Predaplant (Predaplant archetype lists), Branded Predaplant, Rose Dragon, Mulcharmy, and Dominus lists that run Predaplant support. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: GY-send search for one Predaplant monster from the Deck, excluding Byblisp itself; Conditional Special Summon from the GY while a Predator Counter is on the field, banished when it leaves the field; Each effect is limited to once per turn; Level 1, DARK, Plant, 1900 DEF, 0 ATK, no link or pendulum
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 decks at 1.9 average copies; 66% of decks are gameplay type 7; Appears in 5 of 5 recorded combos with an average power index of 82.2 and an average starter count of 1.2 when present; Included at 69–94% in the usage statistics for the Predaplant archetypes
- Inferred: The GY-send search is a card-neutral search that keeps the card's effect value high; Its role is support for the Predaplant engine rather than a starter; The revival is a tempo and recursion route rather than a standalone threat
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No ruling or FAQ text supplied for the Predator Counter interaction No as_searched or as_starter count in combos evidence, so the search route is not confirmed from combos top_card_context is empty; no current ranking to confirm the card's standing
