FLIP: You can send 1 Spell/Trap from your Deck to the GY. If this card is sent from the hand or Deck to the GY: You can target 1 "Tindangle" monster in your GY, except "Tindangle Dholes"; Special Summon it in face-down Defense Position. You can only use each of the preceding effects of "Tindangle Dholes" once per turn. A "Tindangle" Link Monster that used this card as material can make 3 attacks during each Battle Phase.
Tindangle Dholes — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 69 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 65 · Deck: 71 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Tindangle Dholes scores as a Level 5 DARK Fiend material body with a GY-trigger engine attached. It is in 111 of 111 sampled decks at about 2.4 copies each, and it is the material piece in 2 of 3 recorded boards. Its 1000 ATK and 1000 DEF earn nothing; the points come from the Link material role and the GY-triggered Special Summon of another Tindangle, which is the reason the card is run. Its interaction is minimal and that is scored as a weakness.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 75 | Appears in 111 of 111 sampled decks and is sent from hand or Deck to the GY to trigger, but it is never a starter or searched card in the recorded boards (observed; text-based route is inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 72 | Recorded boards reach power index 91 to 100 with 3 to 5 end monsters, yet the card is never the starter, so its conversion depends on partners (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 62 | Sends a Spell/Trap from Deck to GY and can Special Summon a Tindangle from GY, with boards showing net card advantage of 4 to 7 (observed; the advantage is mainly from partners, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No negation or removal; its only defensive value is a face-down DEF Special Summon (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 78 | Level 5 DARK Fiend body that appears as material in 2 of 3 boards, and the Link bonus of 3 attacks is text-based and still applies if its effects are negated (verified from text plus observed). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Two GY-trigger effects, each limited to once per turn, work across hand and Deck sends, but the card is weak once its archetype support is gone (verified from text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 72 | Three copies allowed, no banlist token, and no garnet or lock; the restriction is that it only performs well inside the Tindangle shell (verified from data gaps and text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body / Normal + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 65, Deck ≈ 71, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- In 111 of 111 sampled decks, showing a reliable place in the Tindangle shell
- Clean Level 5 DARK Fiend material that converts to a Link monster with 3 attacks
- Recorded boards reach power index 91 to 100 when it is present
Weaknesses
- No negation or removal of its own; interaction is limited to a face-down DEF revive
- Power depends on Tindangle partners; not a standalone card
- Its effects are once per turn each and require the card to go to the GY from hand or Deck
Counters / choke points
- Opponent's negations or effect-negation on the GY trigger
- Hand or GY disruption before the trigger resolves
Best use
Material body with GY revive; feeds Tindangle Link monsters. Decks: Tindangle (archetype 2096), Tindangle (archetype 889). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Flip effect sends 1 Spell/Trap from Deck to GY; GY trigger Special Summons a Tindangle in face-down DEF, once per turn; Link monster using it as material gets 3 attacks in each Battle Phase; 111 of 111 sampled decks run it
- Observed: Appears as material in 2 of 3 recorded boards; Average power index 97 when present; Average starter count 1.33 when present; 100% co-occurrence with Tindangle Intruder, Jhrelth and Delaunay
- Inferred: Hand-send route is usable through the Tindangle engine; Value depends on the Tindangle archetype staying in the deck
- Data gaps: no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) only 3 recorded combos, so combo evidence is thin no rulings available for the flip and GY trigger timing
