Why it scores here
The card's text is a conditional, one-for-one response: when the opponent Summons while you control a Toon monster, the Summoned monster(s) are shuffled into the Deck. Its score comes from that interaction value and from running cheaply in a Toon shell where it is played in 207 of the sampled decks at about 1.5 copies each. The evidence does not show it converting into a board or card advantage: it appears in only 2 recorded combos, neither with a starter, search, material, or payoff role, and its average power index is 37. It has no material value, so that axis scores zero.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Set Trap that needs a Toon monster already on the field; it appears in 207 of 207 sampled decks, but the combo evidence shows no starter or searched role (verified deck count; observed combo roles; inferred timing). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | Appears in 2 of 2 recorded combos with no assigned role and an average power index of 37, so it does little to build a board on its own (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Returns opponent monsters to the Deck with no draw, search, or refuel, so the exchange is roughly even on cards (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 50 | Answers opponent Summons, but only while a Toon monster is controlled and only as a set Trap, so the interaction is conditional rather than flexible (verified text; inferred). |
| Material Utility | 0 | Trap card with no monster body, so it cannot be used as material and gives no body value (verified from frame type and text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Single set Trap whose trigger depends on Toon board presence; it has no redundancy across zones or turns (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Mostly run at 1 copy (121 of 207 decks), with no garnet or lock cost, though it is restricted to Toon-heavy builds (verified copies distribution; inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Removal / Negation profile applied; secondary Negation/Interaction maps to the same row, so no blend. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 52, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Generic answer to opponent Summons within a Toon shell
- Cheap to run: mostly 1 copy across 207 sampled decks
- Consistently included across Toon-family archetypes
Weaknesses
- Conditional on controlling a Toon monster
- Set Trap, so it needs setup and can be blanked by backrow removal
- Does not build board or card advantage in recorded combos
- No material value
Counters / choke points
- Opponent decks that avoid Summoning or Summon through non-Summon routes
- Backrow removal or interaction that hits set Traps

Removal / Negation vs opponent Summons in Toon decks. Decks: Toon, Toons, Toon (archetype 294). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Trap card text: when opponent Summons while you control a Toon monster, shuffle the Summoned monster(s) into the Deck; Present in 207 of 207 sampled decks; 1.49 average copies per deck; 121 decks run 1 copy; Top partners are Toon-core cards (Toon Table of Contents in 99% of decks)
- Observed: Appears in 2 of 2 recorded combos with no starter, searched, material, payoff, or end-board role; Average power index 37 across its combo appearances; Included in 50% of usage statistics for Toon (gameplay type 6)
- Inferred: Trigger timing is a set-Trap response to Summons, so it is interaction rather than a proactive play; Resilience is limited because the trigger depends on Toon board presence and the card is a single Trap; Generic utility is capped because the text is gated on Toon monsters
- Data gaps: No banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Only 2 recorded combos, so combo centrality is thin evidence The one guide mention is a general Toon Spell/Trap support section and does not name this card explicitly; the card passcode is not in its co_card_ids list No rulings or Top-Card ranking data for this card
