This card's name becomes "SPYRAL Super Agent" while it is on the field or in the GY. Once per turn: You can declare 1 type of card (Monster, Spell, or Trap) and target 1 card your opponent controls; reveal the top card of your opponent's Deck, and if you do, destroy the targeted card if the revealed card is the declared type.
SPYRAL Tough — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
SPYRAL Tough converts a free, once-per-turn declare-and-reveal into destruction of one opponent card, but only when the top card of the opponent's Deck matches the declared type, so its removal is probabilistic rather than guaranteed. Its 1900 ATK and Level 4 body earned almost nothing; the score comes from the effect and its SPYRAL deck placement. The high deck count (261 decks, 1.15 copies average) confirms that SPYRAL decks consistently run it, not that it is intrinsically strong (guardrail 3). With no combo evidence, combo conversion is scored as text-only inference and kept low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | It is in 261 recorded decks, mostly SPYRAL, and usage statistics show 100% typical inclusion at 1 copy in four archetypes, but no searcher or opening-hand route is in the text (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | The card builds nothing by itself and has zero recorded combo appearances, so conversion is limited to its one-for-one destruction effect (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | The effect costs nothing and is card-neutral when it hits, but it does not draw, search or refuel, and it misses on a non-matching reveal (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 50 | A once-per-turn targeted destruction gated by a type declaration and a top-card reveal gives soft, coin-flip-style removal rather than a negation (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | It is a Level 4 WIND Warrior body with no Tuner or special attribute role, and its material value after the effect is blanked is not in the evidence (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | It is a single-body monster with one copy typical and no redundancy evidence, so one monster removal or negation ends its effect (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | It is a one-copy, non-garnet slot that fits the SPYRAL shell without locking restrictions, though it adds no redundancy (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Free, repeatable once-per-turn removal option for the SPYRAL shell
- Included in nearly every recorded SPYRAL deck at one copy
- Level 4 WIND body fits generic level-based plays
Weaknesses
- Removal is probabilistic, not guaranteed, due to the top-card reveal
- Once-per-turn limit and a single-body dependency
- No combo evidence showing it builds a board or progresses a combo
Counters / choke points
- Monster effect negation and monster removal in general (inferred from text; no opponent-side counter data in the evidence)
Best use
Conditional removal from the SPYRAL shell. Decks: SPYRAL. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: once-per-turn targeted destruction gated by a declared type and a reveal of the opponent's top card; Card is Level 4 WIND Warrior, 1900 ATK / 1500 DEF, SPYRAL archetype
- Observed: Appears in 261 recorded decks, 1.15 copies average, 73% in gameplay type 7; Usage statistics show 100% typical inclusion at 1 copy in 4 archetypes (inclusion is not power); Co-occurs with SPYRAL support cards in 95–99% of its decks
- Inferred: Hit rate is a coin-flip-style outcome depending on declared type and deck composition; Accessibility rests on SPYRAL shell access rather than a searcher; Generic monster-effect negation would shut the effect off
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No rulings or timing details beyond the description text No hand-trap or summon-condition information in the text Opening-hand access and redundancy are not evidenced
