Beaked Snake — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 36 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 39 · Deck: 34 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Beaked Snake is a vanilla Level 3 EARTH Reptile Normal Monster whose only text is flavor, so its power is entirely as a generic body. Its Level 3 non-Tuner fit gives it moderate material value, but it has no searcher, no effect to convert, and no way to recover, so it cannot turn its access into card advantage or a board on its own. The 800 ATK / 900 DEF stats earn nothing; the score rests on the body and on the card being cheap to run. The two Ogdoadic decks are too few to confirm a real home, so the score stays modest.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 20 | Nothing searches or summons it, and combos_evidence shows zero appearances, so it is only reachable as a drawn card (inferred, no observed starter or searched data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | The card has no effect text, so it builds nothing by itself and combos_evidence records no boards (verified from text; combos are empty). |
| Resource Economy | 5 | A vanilla Normal Monster with no draw, search, or recursion, so it gives no advantage beyond being a body (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect text, so it provides no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | Level 3 EARTH Reptile is a clean generic material for Level-3 non-Tuner summons, and with no effect it cannot be blanked (inferred from text and level; no as_material observations). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 20 | With no effect and no recovery route it is fully dependent on being drawn and not being used, offering little redundancy across zones (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | A single copy in each observed deck, no garnet, no restriction, and no banlist token applied, so it is cheap and splashable (verified from decks_evidence and the banlist note). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal primary role, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 39, Deck ≈ 34, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Exceptional compactness (1). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (decks present, combos absent, meta unknown)
Strengths
- Clean Level 3 non-Tuner material body with no effect that can be negated
- No garnet, lock, or restriction; a single copy is cheap to include
- Cannot be blanked, so its material value holds in any interaction
Weaknesses
- No effect, so it generates no advantage, searches, or board presence
- Not searchable or summonable by any effect; reachable only by being drawn
- Only two observed decks, both in one archetype, so no demonstrated home
Counters / choke points
- Not applicable: the card has no effect for opponents to answer, so its weakness is simply being a blank body
Best use
Level 3 non-Tuner material body for Level-3 Synchro or Xyz plays. Decks: Ogdoadic (only observed home, 2 decks). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text is flavor only and the card has no effect (card.description); Level 3, EARTH, Reptile, 800 ATK / 900 DEF, Normal frame (card); No combos recorded (combos_evidence); Appears in 2 decks, both Ogdoadic, 1 copy each (decks_evidence)
- Observed: Two decks run it at 100% Ogdoadic share, which is a very small sample
- Inferred: Its practical value is as a Level-3 non-Tuner material body; Its partner list is likely a deck-list artifact of the n=2 sample rather than real synergy
- Data gaps: Only 2 decks, and every partner shows 100% co-occurrence, which is trivially true at n=2 and does not indicate real synergy Plausibility of an Ogdoadic deck running a vanilla Normal Monster is unverified; the deck match may need checking No combos supplied, so combo conversion and material use are text-only inference No guides supplied No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) available, so archetype inclusion beyond the deck sample is unknown No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
