2 Level 1 monsters Once per Chain, if a card or effect activation is negated (except during the Damage Step): You can attach up to 1 card each from your GY and your opponent's GY to this card as material. This card gains effects based on the number of materials attached to it. ● 1+: Gains 700 ATK/DEF for each material attached to it. ● 4+: Cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects. ● 8+: (Quick Effect): You can detach 4 materials from this card; destroy all cards on the field.
Tantrum Toddler — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss / End-board · Secondary: Negation/Interaction, Material body
Why it scores here
Tantrum Toddler reliably converts a negated card or effect into a board that grows with material count: a 1-material Xyz that gains 700 ATK/DEF per material, becomes indestructible at 4+, and can destroy the field at 8+. Its score is held down by the 8-material wipe threshold, the reactive once-per-chain trigger that needs it already on the field, and the absence of any recorded combo boards to confirm how it is reached in practice. Its wide deck presence (256 decks across 64 archetypes) and low copy count earn the deckbuilding and generic-utility points, but that frequency is not counted as raw power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Needs a 2-Level-1 Xyz summon, which the evidence does not table; deck inclusion across 64 archetypes and 100% main-deck presence show it is routinely reached (observed, inferred for the summon route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | No recorded combo boards; the text converts one negated activation into up to +700 ATK/DEF per material and a field wipe only at 8 materials, so conversion is text-only and slow (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Attaches up to one card each from both graveyards as material, a modest refuel with no draw or search, so card advantage is only partial (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | Its trigger fires only on a negated card or effect and the 8+ wipe is a strong late-game effect, but it is not itself a negate (verified from text; deck placement observed). |
| Material Utility | 30 | Rank 1 with no material-conversion data; as a material body it is only a niche Xyz with little evidence of conversion when blanked (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Indestructibility at 4+ helps it survive battle and effect destruction, but it needs a negated activation to trigger and its effects depend on material count (verified from text, inferred for survival). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Typically one copy (245 of 256 decks), no garnet or lock text in the evidence, and a rank-1 cost that adds little restriction (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Boss / End-board profile, single primary role, no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Material-scaling body: +700 ATK/DEF per material with clear 4+ and 8+ thresholds
- Field-wipe ceiling at 8 materials
- Cheap to run: typically one copy, no garnet text
- Routinely included across 64 archetypes with strong partners (Ash Blossom, Called by the Grave)
Weaknesses
- Trigger requires a negated card or effect and a card already on the field
- 8-material wipe is a long-term threshold, not a fast one
- Only partial graveyard refuel (up to 1 per graveyard)
- No recorded combo boards to confirm its real conversion rate
Counters / choke points
- Board breakers and mass removal that clear the Xyz before material count builds
- Non-negate-based removal that does not produce a negated activation to trigger it
Best use
Late-game board threat and end-board piece that rewards opponent negations. Decks: Lightweight Level-1 Xyz shells, Generic interaction-heavy decks running Ash Blossom and Called by the Grave. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Trigger: once per chain, when a card or effect activation is negated (except during the Damage Step); Material gain: up to 1 card each from own and opponent's GY; Effects at 1+ (+700 ATK/DEF per material), 4+ (indestructible), 8+ (detach 4, destroy all cards on field); Copies per deck: 245 of 256 decks run 1 copy
- Observed: Present in 256 recent decks across 64 archetypes (75% in gameplay type 7); Main-deck in 256/256 decks; Top partners include Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (80.1%) and Called by the Grave (75%); Mimighoul StatisticsCard row shows 100% inclusion at 1 copy (single row, small sample)
- Inferred: Level-1 Xyz summon route is assumed available in typical decks; Reaches 4+ and 8+ thresholds only in long games with several negations; Limited practical standalone conversion without a negation trigger
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no Xyz summon requirements or Level-1 material pool in evidence no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) usage statistics is a single Mimighoul row, too small to calibrate inclusion across homes
