Tyrant Farm — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 45 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 45 · Deck: 46 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Combo enabler, Material body
Why it scores here
Tyrant Farm is a Normal Spell that trades one Effect Monster on board for one non-Effect monster of the same original Type/Attribute from the GY, so its value lives entirely in graveyard setup and the quality of the body it reboots — not in stats or flexibility. It converts reliably only inside decks that already run matching Normal monsters (the 75% co-deck rate with Tenyi Spirits points to exactly that niche), and it provides no disruption. With zero recorded combo appearances and only 8 decks running it, the evidence confirms a real but narrow role rather than a broadly powerful card. Its ATK/DEF are irrelevant and earned no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 38 | Normal Spell with no archetype lock is drawable but needs both an Effect Monster to tribute and a matching-Type/Attribute non-Effect monster already in the GY before it is live (verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | It produces one body from an existing body but builds no board on its own, and combo data shows 0 recorded appearances so conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Trading a Spell plus an on-field monster for a single revived monster is roughly neutral-to-negative card economy with no refuel (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 8 | The card text offers no negation, removal, or disruption of any kind (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | The summoned non-Effect monster is a usable body/name/Type-material for further Synchro or Link plays even if effects are blanked (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 42 | It needs pre-established GY setup and an available tribute, so it is dead early and vulnerable to simple interaction, with no multi-zone reach (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Decks run it as a 1–2 of (avg 1.75, max 2), but it demands running non-Effect monsters and an Effect-Monster tribute, so the slot cost is not free (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 45, Deck ≈ 46, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reboots a non-Effect monster from the GY for further Synchro/Link material
- No archetype lock, so it can slot into any deck running matching Normal monsters
- Has no activation restrictions beyond the soft once-per-turn clause
Weaknesses
- Requires both a tribute (Effect Monster) and correct GY setup before it is live
- Provides no interaction or disruption against the opponent
- Roughly break-even to minus-one on card economy
- Narrow Type/Attribute matching condition limits legal revival targets
Counters / choke points
- Graveyard hate (e.g. banish-the-GY effects) removes the revival target
- Effect negation on activation blanks it after the tribute cost is paid
- Removing the tributable Effect Monster leaves it dead in hand
Best use
GY revival of a Normal monster as extra material. Decks: Tenyi. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Spell: 'Tribute 1 Effect Monster; Special Summon 1 non-Effect Monster with the same original Type/Attribute from your GY.'; Soft once-per-turn: 'You can only activate 1 "Tyrant Farm" per turn.'; No archetype listed and no ATK/DEF (Spell).
- Observed: 8 decks run Tyrant Farm, 8 in the main deck, avg 1.75 copies (max 2).; Tenyi Spirit partners co-deck at 75%, indicating the primary home is Tenyi.
- Inferred: Its practical use is converting a Tenyi Spirit (Effect Monster) into a matching non-Effect Normal monster from the GY as extra material.; Card economy is roughly break-even to minus-one.
- 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
