"The Weather" Effect Monsters in your Main Monster Zones of this card's column and its adjacent columns gain this effect. ● You can banish this card, then target 1 monster you control (Quick Effect); Tribute that target, and if you do, Special Summon 1 "The Weather" monster from your hand or GY, but not with the same name the Tributed monster had on the field. You can only control 1 "The Weather Sunny Canvas".
The Weather Sunny Canvas — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 42 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 39 · Deck: 43 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
The card's text converts a Weather monster already on the field into a Weather monster from hand or GY, at the cost of banishing itself and tributing a monster, so it is a body-for-body extender with no board growth or interaction. Its 71-deck footprint reflects that it is the fixed Weather Painter home (56% in archetype 609, about 96% co-occurrence with the Weather Painter core), so it confirms accessibility, not raw power. No recorded boards exist, so the conversion score rests on text, and the one guide mention describes the engine as weak against spell removal.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Runs in 71 of 71 sampled decks at 1.14 copies on average and is live once the Weather Painter core is on board, but no combo data shows it as a starter or searched card (observed + inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Text gives a one-for-one Special Summon of a Weather monster after a self-banish and a tribute, with no extra board presence and zero recorded combo boards (verified text, absence of combo evidence). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Costs the card itself and a monster; the tributed monster returns to the GY and can be recovered later, so there is no net advantage (verified text + inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal or hand-trap text; the only effect is a summon-enabling Quick Effect (verified). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A Spell card cannot be material, and its granted effect lives on monsters, so this axis earns nothing directly (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The continuous Spell sits on the field and is exposed to spell removal per the guide, although its column reach covers several spots (inferred from guide + text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | One copy in a single slot, but it only works with The Weather monsters, so it is archetype-locked rather than a free-roll (observed deck copies + verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 39, Deck ≈ 43, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in 71 sampled decks at a steady 1-copy count
- Converts a tributed Weather monster into a fresh Weather summon from hand or GY
- Cheap single slot with multi-column reach
Weaknesses
- Zero recorded combo boards, so conversion is text-only
- Archetype-locked to The Weather monsters
- Continuous Spell exposed to spell removal
- Costs itself and a monster for a one-for-one swap
Counters / choke points
- Spell removal (guide notes the engine is hit by spell removal)
Best use
Extender / recursion off Weather monsters in MMZ columns. Decks: The Weather (archetype 609), The Weather Painter core lists. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Continuous Spell with column-based grant to The Weather monsters; Self-banish plus tribute cost, then Special Summon of a Weather monster from hand or GY; Only one copy can be controlled; Archetype is The Weather
- Observed: Appears in 71 of 71 sampled decks, 56.3% in archetype 609; Average 1.14 copies; 64 decks run one copy; About 96% co-occurrence with Weather Painter Snow, Thunder and Cloud; 81.7% of decks in gameplay type 7
- Inferred: Acts as recursion by converting a tributed monster into a new summon from GY; Spell-removal exposure is a real weakness given the field-only Continuous Spell; Accessibility depends on the Weather Painter core being on board
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no legal copies data for any format no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): inclusion inferred from the deck sample only no ruling on the column-grant plus self-banish cost interaction no meta sample, so meta power is null
