Trakodon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 42 ± 10 · Confidence: Low
- Intrinsic: 42 · Deck: — · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Trakodon is a vanilla Normal Monster with no effect text, so it converts into nothing beyond its body. Its only real value is as a clean Level 3 EARTH Dinosaur that can serve as material for summons that accept generic Level 3 monsters. Its 1300 ATK does not earn points, and the evidence contains no decks, combos or guides to show it is actually played. The score therefore comes from material and deckbuilding cost, and is capped by the absence of any role.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | Reachable only through generic draw or hand effects, with no searcher or evidence of a practical route (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 5 | Does nothing on its own and appears in no recorded boards, so it builds no extra board (verified: no effect text; observed: 0 combos). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Neutral one-card body with no advantage or refuel, so it sits around even (verified: no effect text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect, so it provides no negation, removal or hand-trap reach (verified: no effect text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Clean Level 3 EARTH Dinosaur body that stays usable as material even though it has no effect to blank (verified: level 3, EARTH, Dinosaur; inferred: generic material fit). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | With no effect to negate it survives interaction, but it has no redundancy or multi-zone use (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | No garnet or lock and is cheap to splash, but it occupies a slot that contributes nothing unless the deck needs Level 3 fodder (inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal profile, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 42, Deck ≈ —, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: Intrinsic (no decks or combos; Deck = null)
Strengths
- Clean Level 3 EARTH Dinosaur body that converts into material with no effect to negate
- No garnet, lock or restriction, so it is trivially cheap to run as a generic body
Weaknesses
- No effect text, so no starter, searcher, interaction or combo role
- No archetype, deck or combo evidence to show a real role in play
- 1300 ATK / 800 DEF adds no value; the score does not reward stats
Counters / choke points
- Any generic destruction or banish effect trades it 1-for-0 with no loss of value (inferred)
Best use
Generic Level 3 material fodder (inferred). Suggested copies: 0.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster, no effect text; description is flavor text only; Level 3, EARTH, Dinosaur, 1300 ATK / 800 DEF, no archetype; Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel
- Observed: 0 decks, 0 combos and 0 guides supplied; no usage statistics available
- Inferred: Level 3 body is generic material fodder with no specific summon route; Likely a slot-filler rather than a deck-defining card
- Data gaps: no decks supplied — deck/synergy signals unavailable no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no effect text (description is flavor only), so rules reliability is unverifiable beyond vanilla no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — inclusion % unavailable no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
