Why it scores here
Topologic Trisbaena is a 2500-ATK Link-3 whose value comes from its mandatory-style trigger: any monster Special Summoned into a zone it points to is banished, along with as many Spells/Traps as possible, and each opposing card banished deals 500 damage. Its score rests on the card text and on being in all 400 sampled decks as a single copy across 90 archetypes, not on its 2500 ATK, which earns nothing directly. The combo evidence is a single board (power index 100), so it supports only a modest combo_conversion score; its strongest axis is effect_interaction, with its effect reaching backrow and summons. Material utility is limited because it is a non-Tuner Link-3 that depends on its trigger for impact.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Live in 400/400 sampled decks as a single copy and paired with Ash Blossom in 73% of them, but it is an Extra Deck Link with no searcher, so access depends on Link materials (verified deck stats, inferred route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | One recorded combo (Snake-Eye #5) where it appears but is never starter, searched or payoff; its power index of 100 comes from a single board, so the signal is thin (observed, n=1). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Banishing opposing cards and dealing 500 damage per banished card is real card advantage, but the netCardAdvantage of 6 is a board-level figure that cannot be attributed to this card alone (observed plus inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 70 | Mandatory banish of as many monsters and Spells/Traps as possible is strong removal that reaches the backrow, though it only triggers on summons into its linked zones (verified text, inferred scope). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A non-Tuner Link-3 DARK Cyberse body is a usable but generic Link material with no clean level or Tuner role, and its impact disappears once its effect is negated (verified text, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Its trigger can be negated by Ash Blossom-type responses, but it points to three zones and survives across turns once on board (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | One copy per deck, no garnet or locking restriction, and an Extra Deck slot that fits most builds (observed, 1.03 average copies). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 68.9, Deck ≈ 68.1, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Mandatory banish of monsters plus backrow gives strong, hard-to-ignore removal on summons into its zones
- Universal deck inclusion across 90 archetypes with a single copy
- Deals 500 damage per opposing card banished, adding a reach component
Weaknesses
- Only triggers when monsters are Special Summoned into its linked zones
- Non-Tuner Link-3 body with limited material value
- Trigger can be negated by Ash Blossom-type responses
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (negates the trigger)
- Opponent avoiding summons into its linked zones
Best use
Board breaker. Decks: Snake-Eye, Dragon Link, Rokket, Borrel, Mathmech. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: banish monsters summoned into linked zones, plus Spells/Traps, and 500 damage per banished opposing card; Appears in 400/400 sampled decks at 1.03 average copies across 90 archetypes
- Observed: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring co-occurs in 73.2% of decks; Single combo appearance (Snake-Eye #5) with power index 100 and no starter/searched/material/payoff role
- Inferred: Accessibility depends on Link material routes, not a searcher; Trigger scope limited to monsters summoned into linked zones; Negation of the trigger by Ash Blossom-type responses
- Data gaps: no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) combo data has a single board, so combo conversion is weakly grounded no ruling data for the trigger's interaction with negation usage statistics covers only 2 archetypes
