Treasure Panda — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 44 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 44.9 · Deck: 42.9 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Treasure Panda's power is its role as a cheap Level 4 body that banishes up to 3 Spells/Traps from the GY face-down to Special Summon a Normal Monster of matching Level, and it converts that into a real starter in its recorded boards (2 of 3 combos). Its score is capped by a narrow practical home: 96.5% of its decks sit alongside Forbidden One and Exodia pieces, and its combos end with no board or boss monsters, so the 1100 ATK and 2000 DEF earn nothing. The card is cheap to run at 3 copies and is almost never a garnet, but the sample is too thin to lift the score further.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Runs 3 copies in 381 of 400 decks and is a starter in 2 of 3 recorded combos, though the activation location is not stated in the text (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 22 | Recorded combos average power index 16.3 with zero boss monsters, zero end-monsters and zero face-down S/T, so it converts into little board on its own (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Banishing from the GY is a self-fuelled cost with netCardAdvantage 0 in every recorded board, so there is no measured card advantage (observed). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The text has no negation, removal or lock, and no opponent-facing interaction appears in the evidence (verified). |
| Material Utility | 25 | Zero recorded appearances as material; its Level 4 Beast body is generic, but the text does not show it converting when its effect is negated (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Dependent on the Exodia line (no measured survival data against interaction), with 49 archetypes in the sample but mostly Exodia and Greed homes (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | 3-copy redundancy and a generic body with no garnet or lock text, though 96.5% partner concentration on Forbidden One pieces makes it a mild self-restriction (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Starter / Combo enabler; no secondary role blended. Intrinsic ≈ 44.9, Deck ≈ 42.9, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Exodia-only practical home (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap 3-copy body that is a starter in most recorded combos
- Live in the opening hand of an Exodia deck, reaching a Normal Monster from the Deck
- Clean deckbuilding: no garnet, no lock, and redundant copies are fine
Weaknesses
- Converts into little board on its own: combos average no boss or end-monsters
- No negation, removal or interaction of any kind
- Practical use is confined to the Exodia/Greed line, which limits portability
Counters / choke points
- Not evidenced in the pack: no counter cards or interaction data were supplied
Best use
Starter / Combo enabler. Decks: Exodia, Greed. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: banish up to 3 Spells/Traps from GY face-down; Special Summon 1 Normal Monster from Deck matching the banished count; Stats 1100/2000 Level 4 Beast Effect Monster, legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks; Runs 3 copies in 381 of 400 sampled decks
- Observed: 96.5% of decks run it with Forbidden One pieces; Starter in 2 of 3 recorded combos, zero boss or end-board monsters; netCardAdvantage 0 in every recorded board
- Inferred: Activation location (hand or GY) is not stated in the supplied text, so the timing reach is unconfirmed; Practical use is confined to Exodia-lineage homes
- Data gaps: no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion % comes only from the 400-deck sample combo sample is very thin (3 boards) activation location and timing are not stated in the card text supplied
