Why it scores here
Vylon Material is a Spell that only equips to a Vylon monster for +600 ATK, and its real value is the search it makes when it is sent face-up from the field to the Graveyard. The 10 recent decks run exactly one copy each with five Vylon partners at 90-100% co-occurrence, which confirms the card is played in a Vylon engine, but that frequency does not raise the score. The 2811 view count and the ATK gain earn nothing, and the absence of combo and guide evidence keeps combo conversion at a text-only estimate.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Needs a face-up Vylon monster to equip, and 10 of 10 decks run it at one copy, which shows it is live in practice (observed; route via partners is inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Text gives a one-step search and a +600 ATK equip, but there are zero recorded combos and no examples, so conversion is text-only inference. |
| Resource Economy | 62 | Leaving the field gives a search, so the card returns one card of value on its own exit, a modest refuel (verified text; net advantage is inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect, so it offers no opponent interaction (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | It is a Spell and cannot be used as Xyz, Link or Synchro material, so this axis is near zero (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The GY trigger still works after the equipped monster leaves, but the card dies if it is negated or removed while face-up on the field (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Single-copy slot with no garnet or lock, but it is archetype-locked to Vylon so it is only cheap inside Vylon-based builds (observed deck stats plus text, inferred cost). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion blend. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 48, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Searches one Vylon Spell when sent face-up from the field to the Graveyard (verified text)
- Single-copy slot that fits cleanly in 10 of 10 recent decks (observed)
- Live with strong Vylon partners at 90-100% co-occurrence (observed)
Weaknesses
- Equip-only and locked to Vylon monsters, so it is dead without a Vylon body (verified text)
- Zero interaction and no material value (verified text)
- No recorded combo or guide evidence to confirm its conversion (data gap)
Counters / choke points
- Negation or removal of the card while it is face-up on the field stops the search (inferred)
- Wider Vylon-blocking interaction that keeps the equip target from ever being live (inferred)
Best use
Searcher on Graveyard send inside Vylon-engine decks. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Equips only to a Vylon monster and gives +600 ATK; Sent face-up from field to GY: add 1 Vylon Spell from Deck to hand; Runs at one copy in 10 of 10 decks; No combos recorded
- Observed: 10 decks, all main deck, one copy each; Five Vylon partners at 90-100% co-occurrence; Spread across six deck archetype tags
- Inferred: Searcher/Tutor primary role from GY trigger; Accessibility depends on a live Vylon monster; Negation while face-up stops the search
- 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
