Chronomaly Mud Golem — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 42 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 43 · Deck: 41 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Chronomaly Mud Golem is a Level 4 EARTH Rock body whose only printed effect is piercing battle damage when a Chronomaly monster attacks a Defense Position monster, so it converts into little beyond a generic body. It is a single-copy main-deck staple in 13 of 13 sampled Chronomaly decks, which confirms accessibility and deck fit but is not treated as power under guardrail 3. Its ATK 1700 earns no points, and the score reflects a cheap, clean body with no observed combo role.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Present in 13 of 13 sampled decks at one copy, but no combo or searcher route is recorded in the evidence (observed, with no searcher route inferred from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | No recorded combo boards; the only effect is conditional piercing damage with no stated setup or board-building step (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 10 | No draw, search, recursion or card-advantage wording in the text, and no as_searched or netCardAdvantage evidence (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The description contains no negation, removal or opponent-facing interaction (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level 4 EARTH Rock body is a plausible generic material, and its body survives effect negation, but no as_material combo evidence confirms this (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Its value is a plain body on the field with no multi-zone or multi-turn effect, so it is only as durable as the body itself (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Runs one copy in every sampled deck with no garnet or lock wording and high partner co-occurrence, so it is cheap to include (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal profile; role is inferred from Level 4 body and absence of combo evidence (no 0.7/0.3 blend applied). Intrinsic ≈ 43, Deck ≈ 41, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 4 EARTH body with no effect cost, so it stays cheap to play
- Included at one copy in 13 of 13 sampled Chronomaly decks
- Partner co-occurrence with core Chronomaly cards is 100% in the sample
Weaknesses
- Only printed effect is conditional on attacking a Defense Position monster
- No recorded combo boards or as_starter/as_searched evidence
- No searcher, extender or recursion route in text or evidence
Counters / choke points
- Opponent card removal or battle-based interaction, since the body has no protection effect

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect text: piercing battle damage when a Chronomaly monster attacks a Defense Position monster; Level 4, EARTH, Rock, ATK 1700, DEF 1000, Effect Monster, archetype Chronomaly
- Observed: Included in 13 of 13 sampled decks at 1 copy, all main deck; Two archetype homes (26 at 92.3%, 818 at 7.7%); Co-occurs at 100% with Chronomaly Moai, Nebra Disk, Crystal Skull, Crystal Bones and Technology
- Inferred: Role is a material body from Level 4 EARTH Rock plus lack of combo evidence; Effect has no searcher, extender or negation route; Body is kept if the effect is negated
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the 13-deck sample only no rulings data for the conditional piercing effect
