Dancing Elf — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 47 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51 · Deck: 44 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body
Why it scores here
Dancing Elf is a vanilla Level 1 Normal Monster with no effect, so its score comes almost entirely from its body as material: a Level 1 WIND Fairy that converts into Synchro or Xyz fodder and cannot be blanked because it has no effect to negate. Its 300 ATK earns nothing. The three sampled decks show it as a single-copy body across three archetypes, which confirms a real slot but not a strong one, and zero recorded combo appearances keeps conversion and interaction near zero. A higher deck count would not raise the score, because the frequent partners are shell staples present in every sampled deck.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Plain Normal Monster with no search or summon effect, so it is only ever a body in hand, and no starter or searched appearances are recorded (inferred from text; combo appearances are 0). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | No effect text and no recorded combo boards, so it builds nothing on its own; any conversion is through other cards' materials (inferred from text; combos_evidence shows 0 appearances). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | No draw, search, or recursion; it is a card-for-card body with no advantage gained (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect, so it provides no negation, removal, or disruption (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Level 1, WIND, Fairy, with no effect to blank, so it converts cleanly as material even when disrupted; no observed as_material boards (verified stats; inferred conversion). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Cannot be negated because it has no effect, but it has no multi-zone or multi-turn function and only three sampled decks (inferred; observed deck spread). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Single-copy, no garnet, no lock, and a cheap body that is easy to slot; no restriction on the deck (verified from decks_evidence copies distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Material body / Normal; no secondary role blend. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 44, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 1 WIND Fairy with no effect: a clean generic Synchro/Xyz material that converts even when disrupted (verified stats; inferred conversion)
- Appears in 3 sampled decks across 3 archetypes, each single-copy main deck (observed)
- No garnet, lock, or restriction, so it is cheap to run in any home (verified)
Weaknesses
- Does nothing alone: no effect, and 0 recorded combo appearances (observed)
- Only as good as the material demand it fills; no search, draw, or interaction to justify a slot on its own (inferred)
- Deck evidence is only 3 decks, and the frequent partners are shell staples present in all of them, so card-specific power cannot be separated from the shell (observed)
Counters / choke points
- No effect to negate, so the usual negation and hand-trap answers do nothing to it (inferred from text)
- Board sweeps or effects that stop Level-based material plays are the practical answers (inferred)
Best use
Level 1 generic material body for Synchro/Xyz lines. Decks: Mulcharmy, Dominus, Bystial/Byssted. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster, 300 ATK / 200 DEF, Level 1, WIND, Fairy, no effect text; Present in 3 sampled decks, 1 copy each, all main deck, across 3 archetypes
- Observed: 0 combo appearances, so no recorded starter, searched, material, or payoff role; Partners are the same in all 3 sampled decks (100% co-occurrence in a 3-deck sample)
- Inferred: Level 1 makes it generic Synchro/Xyz fodder; No searcher or summon route, so accessibility is the body in hand only
- 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 a 3-deck sample only sample of 3 decks is too small to separate card power from shell
