Tyrant Wing

Tyrant Wing — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 41 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 43 · Deck: 43 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Material body, Utility

Why it scores here

Tyrant Wing is a Normal Trap that only converts in narrow contexts: it equips to a Dragon for +400 ATK/DEF and up to two attacks on monsters, or — as it is actually played — serves as the named Trap material for The Fang of Critias into Tyrant Burst Dragon (79.4% co-deck). Its ATK/DEF contribution is negligible and earns it no points; the value comes entirely from enabling a specific Fusion line plus a modest battle buff, neither of which it can deliver alone. With zero combo evidence, no search route to itself, and no opponent-facing interaction, it sits in the low-mid band as a niche 1-of combo piece rather than a standalone power card.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: 0.7 Combo enabler + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 43, Deck ≈ 43, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Two-card garnet dependency (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Strengths

• Serves as the named material that lets The Fang of Critias Fusion Summon Tyrant Burst Dragon (79.4% co-deck).
• Gives any targeted Dragon +400 ATK/DEF and up to two attacks on monsters, enabling extra battle damage.
• Simple, unambiguous text with no complex timing or rulings to resolve.
• Can persist across turns if the equipped monster does not attack a monster, acting as a lingering buff.

Weaknesses

• Does nothing on its own — it needs a Dragon on the field or both itself and The Fang of Critias in hand.
• No opponent-facing interaction: no negation, no removal, no disruption.
• Destroys itself during the End Phase after the equipped monster attacks a monster, making the buff often one-shot.
• As a Normal Trap it must be set a turn before use, so it is slow in a fast format.
• ATK/DEF stat line is irrelevant; the buff is small and easily outclassed by modern removal.

Counters / choke points

• Backrow removal such as Mystical Space Typhoon, Cosmic Cyclone, or Harpie's Feather Duster before it equips.
• Trap negation (e.g. Solemn Judgment, anti-Trap effects) blanks the activation.
• Negating or removing The Fang of Critias stops the Fusion line entirely.
• Removing the targeted Dragon in response leaves the card with no legal target.

Best use

Named Trap material for The Fang of Critias (into Tyrant Burst Dragon) and a secondary Dragon battle buff. Decks: Blue-Eyes, Critias / Legendary Knight, Dragon battle-oriented decks. Suggested copies: 1.

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Card text: target 1 Dragon on the field and equip this card to it, granting +400 ATK/DEF and up to 2 attacks on monsters each Battle Phase.; Card text: once per turn, during the End Phase, destroy this card if the equipped monster attacked an opponent's monster this turn.; Card type is Normal Trap, so it must be set for a turn before it can be activated in the standard rules.
• Observed: 63 decks run the card, all in the main deck, 58 decks at a single copy (avg 1.1).; 79.4% co-deck rate with The Fang of Critias and with Tyrant Burst Dragon.; 23 distinct archetypes appear, led by Blue-Eyes (23.8%) and several Critias/Blue-Eyes-adjacent themes.
• Inferred: Its primary practical role is as the named Trap material for The Fang of Critias to Fusion Summon Tyrant Burst Dragon.; Because it has no dedicated searcher and no combo appearances, its conversion is a two-card dependency, not a reliable one-card play.; It is a -1 that removes itself after attacking, so card economy is negative.
• 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
