Silhouhatte Trick — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 62 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 60.5 · Deck: 63.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
The card's value is a Level 4 DARK Illusion body at 1500 ATK / 600 DEF that, when Special Summoned, negates up to the number of Illusion monsters you control and makes its battles non-destructive, so it converts into a negation engine plus a body. The 400/400 deck presence and 92% co-occurrence with Silhouhatte Rabbit confirm the card is live and practical in its ecosystem, but that frequency is not scored as power (guardrail 3). The 1500 ATK and the body's stats earned almost nothing on their own. The single recorded combo is too thin to confirm the starter/payoff role, so combo conversion stays moderate.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | It is a Trap card that is present in all 400 sampled decks with 1.14 average copies, but the description does not state the zone it is Special Summoned from, so the route cannot be fully traced (verified for presence, inferred for route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The only recorded combo (ID 613) has power index 100 and 2 starters, but combo role is empty and the sample is a single board, so the conversion claim is weakly supported (observed, thin). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | No draw, search, or recursion text exists; it trades its own card-slot for a negation and a body with no advantage gained (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 70 | Negating up to N face-up opposing cards, where N is the number of Illusion monsters you control, is a flexible, targeted negation that can hit several cards at once (verified from text, with the Illusion-count limit scoring it down). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 4 DARK body is clean as material, and the card stays a Trap while negated, but the Illusion-only archetype restriction on its count limits generic use (inferred from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | The Trap-first form is exposed to Trap-targeting interaction before it is summoned, and battle protection gives only a narrow survival benefit (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Single-copy use in 365 of 400 decks, no banlist token, and no garnet or lock restriction make it cheap to run (observed from deck data and data gaps). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 60.5, Deck ≈ 63.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Negates several face-up opposing cards in one activation, up to the Illusion-monster count
- Converts into a Level 4 DARK 1500-ATK body, which is clean material
- Single-copy, unrestricted, and widely present across 92 archetypes in the sample
- Battle protection makes its combat non-destructive
Weaknesses
- Negation is capped by the number of Illusion monsters you control
- Once per turn: only one activation per turn
- Resource economy is flat with no draw, search, or recursion
- Combo evidence is a single board, so its starter and payoff role is not confirmed
Counters / choke points
- Responses that destroy or negate the set Trap before it resolves (inferred, not tabled in evidence)
- Negating the Special-Summoned monster after activation (inferred from text)
Best use
Single-copy negation and body for Illusion-supported decks. Decks: Illusion-based Trap Monster lines with Silhouhatte Rabbit, Hecahands, Azamina, Phantom Beast (Chimera), Eldlich, Diabellstar. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: negates up to Illusion-monster-count face-up opposing cards on Special Summon, battle non-destruction, once per turn; Body stats 1500 ATK / 600 DEF, Level 4, DARK, Illusion; Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks at 1.14 average copies
- Observed: Co-occurs with Silhouhatte Rabbit in 92.2% of sampled decks; Single recorded combo at 100% appearance with power index 100 and 2 starters; Inclusion 100% in 3 of 4 StatisticsCard rows
- Inferred: Negation is a flexible tool for Illusion-supported lines; Trap-targeting interaction threatens the set form before summon; Material value is clean but restricted by the Illusion archetype
- Data gaps: Only 1 recorded combo, and its combo role is empty The description does not state the zone the card is Special Summoned from No banlist token, so the assumed copy limit is 3 No Top-Card ranking across formats Only 1 guide mention, and it does not describe this card's role No counter or ruling evidence was supplied
