Cooky☆Yummy — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 50 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Cooky☆Yummy is a Level 1 body that can be Special Summoned from hand only while you control a Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro monster, and its summon trigger is a soft -1000 ATK reduction (or a destroy when it was Synchro-summoned by a Synchro effect). It converts into a small amount of board presence and some soft interaction, not card advantage. Its 1000 ATK and Level 1 body earned no points on their own. The score rests on its 400/400 deck presence and 2.36 average copies, which confirm accessibility inside Yummy but are treated as popularity, not power. Combo evidence is absent, so conversion is text-only inference.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Hand Special Summon needs a Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro on the field, and 400/400 decks run it at 2.36 copies on average, mostly in Yummy shells (verified text, observed deck stats; the enabler condition is inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | No combo boards were recorded, so the ability to build into a larger board rests on the text alone (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | The effect gives no draw, search, or recursion, so it is a free body with no advantage return (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | The summon trigger is a once-per-turn -1000 ATK reduction, or a destroy when Synchro-summoned, which is soft interaction (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level 1 Light Beast can serve as Level material, but the text does not establish Tuner status or any generic material role (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | It is a single body with a once-per-turn effect and no redundancy within its own text, so one negate ends its value (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | It runs at up to 3 copies with no garnet or lock and no banlist token in the evidence, so it is cheap to run (verified deck stats, data gap noted). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Board breaker. Intrinsic ≈ 50, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Runs in every sampled deck at near-maximum copies, so access to it is reliable within its archetype homes
- Cheap to include: no garnet, no lock, and redundant copies are fine
- Once-per-turn soft interaction on summon, which is a clean board-breaker effect
Weaknesses
- Hand Special Summon is gated on a Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro being on the field
- Soft -1000 ATK debuff does not remove the monster and does not create advantage
- No combo boards recorded, so its contribution to conversion is unproven
Counters / choke points
- Negation or a once-per-turn hand-summon blocker stops the summon effect
- Monsters that keep ATK above the reduced value keep their board presence
- Mass removal or floodgates that stop Special Summons from hand
Best use
Starter / Combo enabler with a soft board-breaker on summon. Decks: Yummy (archetype 2179), Yummy (archetype 2363), Yummy (archetype 2097). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Summon condition: Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro on the field, from hand, once per turn; On-summon effect: target 1 face-up opponent monster, -1000 ATK, or destroy if Synchro-summoned by a Synchro effect, once per turn; Present in 400/400 sampled decks at 2.36 average copies
- Observed: 100% co-occurrence with Yummy partners such as Cupsy☆Yummy and Yummyusment☆Mignon; Usage statistics show 100% inclusion in some archetype homes and 37% in its main Yummy home
- Inferred: Starter / enabler role, since the summon route needs a Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro body and Yummy supplies them; Soft interaction value, since -1000 ATK does not remove the monster
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, so 3 copies (unlimited) is assumed no Tuner or material-type data in the evidence
