Why it scores here
Troposphere is a Level 6 WIND Winged Beast with 2400 ATK that is unaffected by Trap effects, but to Tribute Summon it the Tribute must be a Winged Beast, so it is not a reachable generic play. It appears only as a 1-of in 3 recent decks (Simorgh and Harpie) and in 0 recorded combo boards, so its practical conversion is a modest Trap-immune beatstick/body rather than a combo or interaction piece. Its stated ATK and Trap immunity earn it credit only for the resilience and material-utility they provide, not for their raw numbers. Overall it is a narrow, low-impact utility card whose power is limited by costly access and the absence of any card advantage or disruption.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | Level 6 with no archetype or search route, requires a Winged Beast Tribute to Tribute Summon, and 3 decks run it at 1 copy each (verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | Appears in 0 of the recorded combo boards with no starter/material/payoff presence, so it builds nothing on its own (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 27 | Provides no search, draw, or Graveyard refuel and demands a Tribute, making it roughly a -1 in card economy (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 12 | It brings no removal, negation, or disruption to the opponent's board beyond its own Trap immunity (verified). |
| Material Utility | 42 | As a WIND Winged Beast Level 6 body it is a usable Xyz/Synchro/archetype-fit material even when its effect is irrelevant (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 42 | Unaffected by Trap effects, so it dodges Mirror Force and Trap-based removal, though it dies to Spell/monster removal (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 38 | Runs cleanly as a 1-of (no garnet), but the Winged Beast Tribute condition and lack of searchability restrict it to Winged Beast decks (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 37, Deck ≈ 36, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Unaffected by Trap Card effects, giving it protection against Trap-based removal and floodgates
- 2400 ATK on a Level 6 WIND Winged Beast body that fits Simorgh/Harpie-type Winged Beast decks
- Usable as Winged Beast material and only ever run as a 1-of, so it is not a garnet
Weaknesses
- Tribute Summon requires a Winged Beast Tribute, so it is not an accessible generic play
- No archetype and no search route, so it is not reliably tutored
- Provides no card advantage, removal, or negation
- Appears in 0 recorded combo boards and no guides, indicating no established practical line
Counters / choke points
- Monster-effect and Spell removal (only Trap effects are ignored)
- Effect negation such as Solemn Judgment or monster negates
- Kaiju-style tributes
- Decks that do not rely on Trap Cards make its protection largely irrelevant
Best use
Trap-immune Winged Beast body / beatstick and archetype-fit material. Decks: Simorgh, Harpie. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: If you Tribute Summon this card, the Tribute must be Winged Beast-Type; Card text: This card is unaffected by the effects of Trap Cards; Card identity: Level 6 WIND Winged Beast, 2400 ATK / 2000 DEF, no archetype
- Observed: 3 recent decks run it, all in the Main Deck at exactly 1 copy (avg 1, max 1); Deck split: Simorgh 2 decks (66.7%), Harpie 1 deck (33.3%); 0 recorded combo appearances; starter role/searched-for role/material role/payoff role all 0; 0 guides mention it in guide data
- Inferred: Functions as a Trap-immune Winged Beast body/beatstick and archetype-fit material in Winged Beast decks; The Winged Beast Tribute requirement plus lack of searchability limits it to Winged Beast-oriented decks; Its effect provides no card advantage or board interaction, so its value is almost entirely the body
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
