Why it scores here
Trackblack's score comes mainly from its body. It is a Level-less Link-2 LIGHT Cyberse with two arrows, which makes it a clean, generic Link material that still converts when its effect is negated, and it is present in all 400 sampled decks at one copy. Its effect only draws one card per turn, and only after it destroys a monster by battle on a monster it points to, so it does little to build a board or to interact with the opponent. The 1200 ATK and the card's popularity earn no points on their own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks at one copy each, but no combo or starter data confirms how it is reached in the opening hand, so the score is held near the middle (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | The only conversion is one draw after a battle destruction on a pointed-to monster; no combo boards were supplied to show a larger outcome (verified from text, no combo data). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | The effect draws one card once per turn, and only when a battle destruction happens, so repeated advantage depends on the battle going well (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The effect has no negation, removal or opponent-facing component; it only rewards the controller's own battles (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | As a Light Cyberse Link-2 with Top-Left and Bottom-Right arrows, it is a generic Link material that works even if its effect is negated (verified from card data, inferred for use). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The effect needs the card on the field, a battle, and a valid target it points to, and it can be shut off by a single negation (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | One copy per deck, no garnet or lock text, and cheap to run as a single-copy staple (observed from decks, verified from text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Present in all 400 sampled decks at one copy, so it is consistently run
- Generic Link-2 Light Cyberse body that converts as material even when its effect is negated
- Clean one-copy deckbuilding cost with no garnet or lock text
Weaknesses
- Effect is narrow: one draw per turn, only after a battle destruction on a pointed-to monster
- No direct opponent interaction
- Inclusion is concentrated in Drytron (49.8% of sampled decks), so the card has a single dominant home
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the monster it points to, which stops the draw
- Any answer to the battle that would have produced the destruction
Best use
Link-2 material body and a single-copy draw option off a battle. Decks: Drytron, Crystal Beast, Egyptian God, Blue-Eyes, ABC. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Link-2 LIGHT Cyberse with Top-Left and Bottom-Right arrows, ATK 1200; Effect: once per turn, target 1 monster it points to; this turn, each battle destruction of an opponent's monster draws 1 card
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks, one copy each; Drytron accounts for 199 of 400 decks (49.8%); Top partners include Called by the Grave (74.5%) and Forbidden Droplet (67.2%)
- Inferred: Material value holds when the effect is negated, because Link material use does not depend on the effect; Access is through Link summoning rather than through a searcher, so the route is not tabled
- Data gaps: No combo evidence: starter, material and payoff roles are text-only inference No guides supplied decks_evidence reports 400 main-deck copies, but Link monsters are Extra Deck cards; the zone is unverified and the deck counts may include Extra Deck entries No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No StatisticsCard usage data; archetype inclusion is from the 400-deck sample only
