- Primary role: Material body / Normal · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Tyhone is a vanilla Level-4 WIND Winged Beast with no effect, no archetype, and no searchable route, so it converts almost nothing into winning value: it records zero combo appearances and only two sample decks run it as a 1-of. Its only real asset is structural — a clean, lock-free Level-4 body that can serve as generic Rank 4 / Link / Synchro material, which is why material_utility is the one axis carrying meaningful weight. The 1200 ATK / 1400 DEF stat line earned no points at all here; the low score comes from the absence of disruption, card advantage, or combo conversion, not from its stats or its 2455 page views.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | It is live only by drawing it — no archetype, no searcher, and no special-summon route appear in the evidence, so access rests solely on Normal Summoning a Level-4 body (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | Zero combo appearances in the recorded sample and no effect text mean it converts into nothing beyond a single body (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 10 | It is an even one-card-for-one-body trade with no draw, search, or Graveyard recursion attached (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 3 | The description is flavor text only — the card provides no removal, negation, or disruption of any kind (verified). |
| Material Utility | 45 | As a Level-4 WIND Winged Beast with no locks or restrictions it is a clean generic Rank 4 / Link / Synchro material, which is its sole structural value (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | Being effect-less it cannot be 'negated', but it also has no protection, no multi-zone use, and no multi-turn utility, dying to any removal (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | It costs one deck slot, one copy, no garnet, and imposes no restriction, but it is a functionally dead card that only pays off as a generic body (inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal profile, single role (no secondary blend). Intrinsic ≈ 39.3, Deck ≈ 33.1, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Legal and unlimited in every listed format (TCG, OCG, Master Duel)
- Clean generic Level-4 WIND Winged Beast body with no locks, no restrictions, and no garnet cost
- Requires no tribute and no setup to put on board
Weaknesses
- No effect whatsoever — the printed text is flavor text only
- No archetype, so no archetypal searcher or recursion route
- Provides no disruption, no card advantage, and no combo conversion (0 combo appearances recorded)
- 1200 ATK loses to essentially every playable monster and 1400 DEF blocks very little
Counters / choke points
- Any single monster removal (destroy, banish, or bounce) ends its board presence with no follow-up
- Any Rank 4 / Link target it is used for can be answered by the standard hand traps and negations that hit those lines
- It cannot answer back — no protection, no floating, no Graveyard effect
Best use
Generic Level-4 WIND Winged Beast material body. Decks: Blackwings (only observed sample: an incidental 1-of, not a recommended inclusion). Suggested copies: 0.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text is flavor text only — Normal Monster, no effect, no once-per-turn clause, no cost; Level 4, WIND, Winged Beast, 1200 ATK / 1400 DEF, archetype is null; Listed as legal in TCG, OCG, and Master Duel with no archetype support printed
- Observed: Only 2 recorded decks run Tyhone, 1 copy each, one in Blackwings and one in a no-archetype deck; Zero appearances across all recorded combos (0 starter, 0 searched, 0 material, 0 payoff); No guides mention the card and no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) exist for it; It is not a Top Card in any format
- Inferred: With no effect and no lock, its only functional contribution is a generic Level-4 WIND Winged Beast body for Rank 4 Xyz, Link, or Synchro material; No searcher, special-summon route, or archetype access path exists in the evidence, so it is only live when drawn; It supplies no disruption, no card advantage, and no Graveyard recursion, so it cannot trade favorably with interaction
- 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 the 2-deck sample only deck sample is extremely small (2 decks), so the archetype/partner signals are weak
