Why it scores here
Sandwich Day is a cheap, generic draw spell: it costs 200 LP and needs a monster in the GY, then draws 1 card and may draw or discard one more depending on the revealed monster's Attribute. Its reliable output is a small card-quality and card-count edge, not board presence, so the score sits in the middle of the range. Its presence in 329 sampled decks across 73 archetypes confirms it is a broadly playable staple, but per guardrail 3 that breadth earns only the accessibility and portability points, not a strength bonus. Its 1,631 views and the 53% co-occurrence with Ash Blossom were not used as power drivers.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Needs a monster in the GY, which most sampled decks can meet mid-game; live in many hands, with no searcher or starter stats supplied (inferred from text and deck sample). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | The card builds no board by itself; it only refills or filters the hand, and no combo boards are recorded for it (inferred from text; no combo evidence). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Draw 1 is card-neutral after the spell itself, a non-GY Attribute adds a second draw for a net +1, and a GY Attribute forces a discard; the 200 LP cost is the price (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The effect offers no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Spell card cannot be used as material, so this axis is zero (verified from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Limited to one activation per turn and vulnerable to a single negate, though copies can be spread across turns (verified from text, inferred for the negate case). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Generic, cheap to run, with no garnets or locks, and 1 to 3 copies are fine; the sample averages 1.7 copies per deck (observed from deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility / no clear role (default), single role, no blend. Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Generic draw that fits almost any deck; appears in 73 archetypes in the sample
- Cheap to run, with no garnet or self-lock cost beyond the 200 LP
- Conditional second draw rewards a non-GY Attribute, giving occasional card advantage
Weaknesses
- No board presence, no interaction, and no material value
- Costs 200 LP and needs a GY monster, so it is situational early on
- One activation per turn and a single negate ends the effect
Counters / choke points
- Spell negation (inferred from text; no counter data supplied)
Best use
Utility draw / conditional cantrip that filters the hand. Decks: Dark World, Sky Striker, Danger!. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Costs 200 LP and requires a monster in the GY (card text); Draws 1 card, then applies a non-GY Attribute draw or a GY Attribute discard (card text); Once per turn restriction (card text); Appears in 329 sampled decks across 73 archetypes (deck data)
- Observed: Average 1.7 copies per deck, 181 decks run 1 copy (deck data); Top partners are staples: Ash Blossom 53.2%, Called by the Grave 52.3% (deck data)
- Inferred: Broad playability implies low deckbuilding cost and high portability; A single negate would stop the effect; Mid-game GY monster availability makes it reliably live
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for archetype inclusion beyond the deck sample no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no starter/searched stats, so accessibility is inferred from text
