Toon Buster Blader — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 43 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 41 · Deck: 45 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Toon Buster Blader is a 2600-ATK Level 7 beater whose only real function is to attack, and its text restricts that: it cannot attack the turn it is Summoned, and its ATK bonus depends on opposing Dragons. It converts into board pressure mainly inside Buster Blader lists, where it is run in 75 of the sampled decks at about 1.7 copies each. The 2600 base ATK earns no points by itself; the score rests on the body being a usable Level 7 Warrior and on the deck evidence that it is a consistent, cheap-to-run beater. With no combo records and no opponent-interaction text, the score stays in the low 40s.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Run in 75 of 75 sampled decks at an average of 1.68 copies, but the evidence has no searcher or starter data, so reach is inferred from deck inclusion alone (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Text says the ATK bonus grows with opposing Dragons, and the partner list (Buster Blader, Buster Dragon, Destruction Sword Memories) fits that, but no combo boards were recorded (inferred, observed). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | The text gives no draw, search, or recursion, and the card is a single body with no card advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The text has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect, so the card offers no opponent interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 50 | A Level 7 Warrior EARTH body is a clean material and keeps its base 2600 ATK even when its effect is negated, but no as_material records were supplied (verified, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | The card has one body and no protection, and the no-attack-on-summon-turn clause plus the Toon World and Toon-free condition for direct attacks limit how it survives and where it can act (verified, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Runs at about 1.7 copies with no garnet or lock, but the Toon restriction and Toon World dependence add some deck-building cost (observed, verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 41, Deck ≈ 45, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in 75 sampled decks, mostly Buster Blader lists, at about 1.7 copies each
- Clean Level 7 Warrior EARTH body that stays usable as material even if the effect is negated
- Easy to run with no garnet or lock on the card
Weaknesses
- Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned
- ATK bonus depends on opposing Dragons, so it is weak in boards without them
- Direct attacks need Toon World and an opponent with no Toon monsters
- No opponent interaction and no card advantage
Counters / choke points
- Monsters or effects that remove or negate a single attacker, which the text does not address
- Boards with no Dragons, where the ATK gain never starts
Best use
Beater / end-board attacker in Buster Blader and Dragon-heavy lists. Decks: Buster Blader. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Cannot attack the turn it is Summoned; Gains 500 ATK per Dragon the opponent controls or has in the GY; Direct attack only while you control Toon World and the opponent controls no Toon monsters; Level 7 Warrior EARTH, 2600 ATK, 2300 DEF; Appears in 75 sampled decks at an average of 1.68 copies
- Observed: Buster Blader archetype accounts for 52% of sampled decks; Top partners appear in 61% to 67% of decks running this card; A Toon guide calls the Toon version clunky because it cannot attack on its Summon turn
- Inferred: Primary role is a beater or end-board body, based on text and deck use; Material utility is clean because the Level 7 Warrior body keeps its base ATK when negated; Reach into the deck depends on Buster Blader partners, since there is no searcher data
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion and material/starter shares are text-only inference no banlist token, so 3 copies (unlimited) is assumed no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only no rulings supplied for the Toon World and direct-attack interaction
