Dark Rose Fairy — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48.8 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion, Material body
Why it scores here
Dark Rose Fairy is a conditional Level 2 extender: it can only come out of hand when a Tuner is Special Summoned, and from the GY it recycles itself to the Deck for one card from hand or field. Its value is real but narrow, concentrated in Rose Dragon shells (45 of 106 decks, and Rose Dragon partners co-occur in 70-83% of its decks). The 800 ATK and 1000 DEF earn nothing; its score comes from access and recursion, and the lack of recorded boards keeps combo conversion modest.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Hand-live only when a Tuner is Special Summoned, which the Rose Dragon shell supplies in most decks it appears in (deck data: 106 decks, 45 Rose Dragon) (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Text shows a Level 2 body that adds one field presence on a Tuner summon; no recorded boards exist, so conversion is text-only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | GY effect costs one card from hand or field to return itself to the Deck, roughly even exchange with no net draw (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or hand trap effect on the card (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | Level 2 DARK Fairy non-Tuner is a usable generic material for Level 2 Synchro lines, and its body remains a Level 2 material even when its effects are negated (verified text, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Two effects, each once per turn, and the hand effect depends on a Tuner summon; the GY effect is its main redundancy (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Average 1.42 copies per deck with no garnet, lock, or self-restriction in its text; cheap to run as a single copy (deck data, verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 48.8, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand Special Summon triggered by any Tuner summon, live when the Rose Dragon shell lands a Tuner
- GY effect recycles the card to the Deck for a one-for-one cost, giving repeatable access
- Cheap to run, single-copy slot with no garnet or lock
Weaknesses
- Hand effect needs a Tuner Special Summon first, so it is dead in hands without one
- No recorded combo boards; the card's role in practice is inferred from text and deck co-occurrence
- Level 2 non-Tuner body with 800 ATK adds little board presence on its own
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Tuner summon or the Special Summon effect shuts off the hand route
- Once-per-turn limit on each effect slows repeated use
Best use
Extender / recursion body that enables Level 2 Synchro lines when a Tuner is summoned. Decks: Rose Dragon. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand Special Summon when a Tuner is Special Summoned (except Damage Step), once per turn; GY effect: send 1 card from hand or field to GY to place this card on top or bottom of Deck, once per turn; Level 2 DARK Fairy Effect Monster, 800 ATK / 1000 DEF
- Observed: Appears in 106 sampled decks, avg 1.42 copies, 1-copy in 69 decks; Rose Dragon archetype accounts for 45 decks (42.5%); Rose Dragon partners co-occur in 70-83% of its decks
- Inferred: Accessibility depends on Tuner summons, which the Rose Dragon shell provides; Role is extender/recursion rather than a starter, since no combo boards are recorded
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no rankings in top-card data — popularity not used for scoring
