Why it scores here
Tool Box is a continuous Spell whose only text is a once-per-turn search of an Equip Spell, with the opponent choosing which of two revealed cards you receive and the other going to the bottom of the Deck. Its score comes from repeatable card advantage and broad deck presence (75 of 75 sampled decks run it across 25 archetypes), not from any board-building or interaction, which the card does not have. The opponent's random choice and the need to control a monster cap how much the search is worth, and the absence of combo and guide evidence keeps the combo axis low. High deck counts were treated as accessibility, not as power (guardrail 3).
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Needs only a monster you control plus two differently named Equip Spells in the Deck, and it runs in all 75 sampled decks, but the search route is inferred from text because no combo data exists (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The card only puts one Equip Spell in hand and builds no board by itself; combo examples and power_index are absent, so the score is text-only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 65 | Each use is a +1 search at no card cost, and it can repeat once per turn while it stays on the field, though the opponent picks the card you receive (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | As a Spell it cannot be used as material and gives no level, attribute, or name value (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Once on the field it can be used over several turns, but it is a face-up Continuous Spell that spell removal or negation can shut off, and no evidence shows how often it survives interaction (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | A single slot that averages 2.24 copies per deck is cheap, but it needs two differently named Equip Spells to be live, which is a mild build restriction (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary Searcher/Tutor only; no secondary role, so no blend. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Equip Spell dependency (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Repeatable +1 search each turn while the card stays on the field
- Live in every sampled deck with a monster on board
- Cheap single slot that is splashable across many archetypes (25 distinct)
Weaknesses
- The opponent chooses which Equip Spell you receive, so you may get the weaker one
- Gives no board presence, interaction, or material value on its own
- Depends on the deck already holding two differently named Equip Spells
Counters / choke points
- Spell removal or negation of the face-up Continuous Spell
- Opponent controlling no monsters, which blocks the activation condition
Best use
Searcher for Equip Spells in an Equip-Spell-supported deck. Decks: Evil Eye, Mikanko, Lyrilusc, Gusto, Guardian, Simorgh, Speedroid, Adventurer Token, Relinquished. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Continuous Spell with a once-per-turn search of an Equip Spell, opponent picks one of two revealed cards, other goes to the bottom of the Deck; Present in 75 of 75 sampled decks at 2.24 average copies across 25 archetypes; No negation, removal, or material value
- Observed: Average 2.24 copies per deck with 3 copies in 36 decks; Co-occurs with Evil Eye package cards in 19 of 75 decks
- Inferred: Searcher route is live whenever a monster is controlled and two differently named Equip Spells are in the Deck; Continuous Spell placement can be shut off by spell removal or negation
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion and as_starter/as_searched shares are text-only inference No guides supplied No banlist token; 3 copies assumed No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for inclusion % across archetypes Text of partner Equip Spells not in evidence, so Equip Spell quality was not assessed
