Toy Tank — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 62 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 60 · Deck: 63 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Toy Tank is a Level 4 body that converts itself into a Level 6-or-lower monster from hand through its Tribute effect, and it can also be Set from hand and revived from the Spell & Trap Zone when sent to the GY. Its score comes from being in every one of the 400 sampled decks at one copy each, with no garnet cost, plus a Level 4 body that works as generic material. The card has no combo or guide evidence, so its conversion value rests on text inference, and it has no interaction, which keeps effect_interaction very low. High ATK or DEF did not earn any points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Included in 400 of 400 sampled decks at one copy each, and it can be Set from hand to the Spell & Trap Zone, so it is usually live (observed; no combo starter data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The Tribute effect turns one body into a Level 6-or-lower monster from hand, with a GY route when Toy Box is controlled, but no recorded boards show it (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Tributing itself and summoning one monster is roughly even on cards, and the GY revive adds a small refuel, but no advantage numbers were supplied (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The text contains no negation, removal, or disruption, so it offers no opponent interaction (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | It is a Level 4 Light Machine body, a generic material, but its own effects are once per turn and it is not a clean Tuner (inferred from text and attributes). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | It has two effect routes across hand and S&T/GY zones, which gives some multi-zone redundancy, but no interaction-survival data was supplied (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | One copy in 398 of 400 decks, no garnet or lock restriction, and a common Toy partner, so it is cheap to run (observed from deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 60, Deck ≈ 63, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Clean one-copy, no garnet (1). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- In 400 of 400 sampled decks at one copy each (observed)
- Set-from-hand route keeps it live in the opening hand (inferred)
- Level 4 Light Machine body converts into a Level 6-or-lower Tribute summon (verified from text)
- No garnet or self-lock restriction (verified from text)
Weaknesses
- No opponent interaction (verified from text)
- No combo or guide evidence, so conversion is text-only (data gap)
- Two once-per-turn effects with a GY-trigger condition are fiddly to sequence (inferred from text)
- Revival from the GY is conditional on Toy Box being controlled (verified from text)
Counters / choke points
- Generic GY and hand responses (inferred; no interaction data supplied)
- Negation of its effects leaves a Level 4 body that can still be used as material (inferred from text)
