Big Koala — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 46 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 47 · Deck: 46 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Big Koala is a vanilla Level 7 Normal Monster with no effect text, so it converts nothing on its own: its only real value is as a Level 7 Earth Beast body for summoning requirements and as material, which the evidence does not measure. The 2700 ATK earns no points. The card is run in 47 sampled decks across 22 archetypes at about 1.9 copies each, which confirms it is a practical, portable body but not that it is powerful; with no combo records and no guide mentions, the score rests on text-derived inference and stays in the mid-40s.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | No search or draw route appears in the text and the combo record shows zero starter or searched appearances, so it is only reachable by drawing it (verified text, observed 0 combo appearances). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | The text has no board-building effect and no combo examples exist, so it converts into nothing without a second card (verified text, no combo data). |
| Resource Economy | 10 | Vanilla text gives no card advantage, refuel, or recursion, and it costs a card when played (verified text, inference). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect is printed on the card (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | Level 7 Earth Beast with no effect means it converts cleanly as material and is unaffected by negation, though Level 7 is a narrow requirement (verified text, inference). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | With no effect to negate it survives interaction that stops effect monsters, but it is removed by any destruction or banish and has no redundancy (verified text, inference). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Free to run in any number, with no garnet or lock, but a Level 7 Normal is a slot that needs two tributes to summon and so is a mild restriction (verified text, observed copies per deck). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal primary role, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 46, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean generic material body that converts even when no effect is needed (Level 7 Earth Beast)
- Free to run in any number with no garnet, lock or self-restriction
- Portable across 22 archetype homes in the sample
Weaknesses
- No effect text, so it converts nothing into board, cards or interaction on its own
- No search or draw route, so it is only reached by drawing it
- Level 7 Normal needs two tributes to summon, which is a real cost outside material use
Counters / choke points
- Any removal or banish that hits a monster body still removes it at full value
- Nothing in the text needs countering, so counters are only the generic answers to any Normal body
Best use
Level 7 material body or Tribute fodder in a deck that needs a Level 7 Earth Beast. Decks: Melffy, Despia, Phantom Beast (Chimera), Branded, Nimble, Subterror, Tri-Brigade.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Vanilla Normal Monster, Level 7, EARTH Beast, 2700 ATK / 2000 DEF, no effect text; Present in 47 of the sampled decks, 1.91 copies on average, across 22 archetypes; Zero combo appearances and zero guide mentions
- Observed: Usage statistics show 60% inclusion in Subterror and Nimble with 1 typical copy; Top partners are staples such as Called by the Grave and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, which reflects deck frequency rather than synergy
- Inferred: Level 7 Earth Beast makes it a usable material body for Level 7 summon requirements; Its value is as a body and tribute, not as an active or board-building card
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion and material use are text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, so 3 copies are assumed legal no average starter count, so deck resilience is inferred from archetype spread alone
