Toon Alligator — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 53 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Toon Alligator is a vanilla Level 4 WATER Reptile Normal Monster, so its points come from being a clean generic material body (Material body weights) and from being cheap and splashable, not from its 800 ATK or 1600 DEF, which earn nothing. Its presence in 20 of 20 recent decks at about 1.2 copies, many of them Toon-labelled lists, confirms it is routinely included but confirms accessibility rather than power (guardrail 3). With no combo or guide evidence, the score rests on card text and deck structure, so the band is wide.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | Reached only by being drawn, with no searcher or starter evidence and no combo appearances (verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | Vanilla body with no effect, and no recorded combo shows it converting into a board (verified). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | No draw, search, or recursion, so it is a 1-for-1 body that neither gains nor loses advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect text, so it provides no negation, removal, or hand trap (verified). |
| Material Utility | 55 | Level 4 WATER Reptile Normal is a clean generic material by type and level, but no combo shows it used as material, so this is inferred (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | With no effect there is no effect to negate, but it has no multi-zone or multi-turn value (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Normal monster run at 1 copy in most decks (avg 1.2), splashable and cheap to include (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal primary only; no secondary role (no combo evidence to blend). Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 4 WATER Reptile Normal with no effect, so there is no effect to negate and it remains a body under interaction
- Included in 20 of 20 recent decks in the main deck at avg 1.2 copies, splashable at 1 copy
- Spread across 10 deck archetype labels, so it is not tied to a single home
Weaknesses
- No effect: zero interaction, zero card advantage, no searching
- 800 ATK and 1600 DEF contribute nothing to the score; its value depends on the deck's material plan
- No combo evidence that it starts or finishes anything
Counters / choke points
- No effect text to play around, so counters are generic board removal and battle (inferred)
Best use
Material body / filler Normal, one copy. Decks: Toon-labelled lists (8 of 20 decks), Exodia lists (4 of 20 decks). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster, Level 4, WATER, Reptile, 800 ATK / 1600 DEF (card stats); Description is flavor text only, with no effect units; No combo, guide, or StatisticsCard data supplied
- Observed: Present in 20 of 20 recent decks, main deck, avg 1.2 copies, max 3; Spread across 10 deck archetype labels; Toon labels account for 8 of 20 decks; Top partners: Toon Table of Contents 90%, Toon Harpie Lady 70%, Toon Gemini Elf 70%
- Inferred: Material body value comes from Level 4 WATER Reptile type, not from any observed combo; Deck inclusion likely reflects the Toon-themed deck structure rather than the card's own power (causal caution)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion and material use are text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): inclusion inferred from the 20-deck sample only card text is flavor only, so there are no effect units to decompose no banlist token: assumed 3 copies
