Thode Raizeol — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Starter
Why it scores here
Thode Raizeol's power comes from converting a live Raizeol body into card advantage: its hand Special Summon is conditional on a Raizeol monster in play or in the GY, and its Normal or Special Summon trigger adds one LIGHT Pyro from the Deck to hand. The 1500 ATK and Level 4 stats earn nothing directly; the score rests on the search and the reliable hand access. With no combo evidence, the combo and material axes are text-only inference and are scored conservatively. The Extra Deck summon restriction is a real cost, so the card is not scored as a free-roll.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Present in all 400 sampled decks at 2.6 copies average, with Raizeol Deadnader co-present in 99.8% of them, so the hand summon is live when the Raizeol condition is met (observed; the condition itself is verified from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No recorded boards exist, so the conversion from one card to a full board is inferred only from the text: a single body plus one searched LIGHT Pyro (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | One search per summon-trigger turn is a +1 card-for-card conversion with no card cost, and the summon itself costs no card, so the economy is positive but not repeatable beyond one search per turn (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in its text (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | A Level 4 FIRE Thunder body is a usable Rank 4 Xyz material and a generic Level 4 Pyro-adjacent body, but it has no effect-negation material value and no Tuner role (inferred from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The search trigger fires on either Normal or Special Summon, but the hand summon depends on Raizeol being present and the card has no recursion; three copies give some redundancy (inferred from text and deck copies). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Runs as three copies in most decks with no garnet or lock, but the Extra Deck summon restriction for the rest of the turn is a self-restriction that constrains sequencing (verified from text; deck copies observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Starter/Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Extra Deck summon self-restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand Special Summon with a live Raizeol condition in 400 of 400 sampled decks
- Search on Normal or Special Summon gives a one-card-for-one-card advantage with no card cost
- Broad adoption: 56 distinct archetypes, with high co-occurrence with the Raizeol core
Weaknesses
- Hand summon is dead without a Raizeol monster on field or in GY
- Extra Deck summon restriction for the rest of the turn limits sequencing
- No negation, removal, or interaction of its own
- No combo recordings, so conversion strength is unproven beyond text
Counters / choke points
- Monster-effect negation or hand-trap interaction on the summon (generic; not evidenced in the sample)
- Removing or negating the Raizeol condition monsters beforehand, which turns off the hand summon
Best use
Searcher and hand-summoned extender for the Raizeol line, with one LIGHT Pyro search. Decks: Raizeol, Traptrix, Shark, Mathmech, Ashened. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand Special Summon requires a Raizeol monster on field or in GY; Once per turn restriction on the hand summon and on the search effect; Search adds 1 LIGHT Pyro monster from Deck to hand on Normal or Special Summon; Rest-of-turn Extra Deck restriction except Rank 4 Xyz; Level 4 FIRE Thunder 1500/200 Effect Monster
- Observed: In 400 of 400 sampled decks, average 2.6 copies; Raizeol Deadnader co-present in 399 of 400 decks
- Inferred: Usable as Rank 4 Xyz material and generic Level 4 body; Resilience from three-copy redundancy but no recursion
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, so 3 copies assumed legal no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for inclusion % by archetype no rulings supplied for the once-per-turn and summon-restriction interaction
