Why it scores here
Deep Sea Diva converts one Normal Summon into a second body by Special Summoning a Level 3 or lower Sea Serpent from the Deck, and it is a clean Level 2 WATER Tuner that still works as material when its effect is negated. Its score comes from accessibility and deck cost: it is run in all 400 sampled decks across 34 archetypes at a low cost, with no garnet or lock. The high 200 ATK and 400 DEF earn nothing, and it has no interaction, so the score is capped in the mid-60s. Combo evidence is absent, so the combo axis rests on text-only inference.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Present in 400/400 sampled decks at about 1.56 copies each, but no combo starter or searched data exists, so live-when-drawn rests on the Normal Summon text (observed deck frequency, inferred live-ness). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Text converts one Normal Summon into a second Level 3-or-lower Sea Serpent from the Deck; no combo boards were supplied, so the conversion is text-only inference. |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Deck-to-field Special Summon nets roughly +1 body from the Deck with no GY refuel or cost (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap reach in its text (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 72 | Level 2 WATER Tuner is a clean material and stays a Tuner when its effect is negated (verified from text and attribute, inferred for material use). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Negation removes the search but leaves a 200-ATK Tuner body; the single effect is fragile and has no multi-zone or multi-turn value (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Cheap Level 2 body with no garnet or lock, run at 1 to 3 copies across 100% of decks; splashable in principle (observed deck data, inferred splash). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 62, Deck ≈ 65, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Compact cheap body (2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Deck-to-field Special Summon from a Normal Summon, giving a second body
- Level 2 WATER Tuner, a clean Synchro and material body
- Present in 100% of sampled decks across 34 archetypes at low slot cost
- Still a Tuner and material when its effect is negated
Weaknesses
- Zero interaction: no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach
- 200 ATK and 400 DEF give almost no board presence
- Effect depends on a Normal Summon and on a Level 3-or-lower Sea Serpent being in the Deck
- No combo evidence, so conversion beyond the second body is unproven
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the on-Normal-Summon effect (the body survives as a Tuner)
- Board-level interaction against the summoned Sea Serpent
Best use
Level 2 Tuner that converts a Normal Summon into a second Sea Serpent body. Decks: Mermail Atlantean, Atlantean, Deep Sea, Mermail.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Deck-to-field Special Summon of a Level 3 or lower Sea Serpent from the Deck on Normal Summon (card text); Level 2 WATER Tuner, 200 ATK / 400 DEF (card data); Present in 400/400 sampled decks, 1.56 average copies (deck stats)
- Observed: Top partners in 73-84% of decks, mostly Mermail and Atlantean (deck stats); Appears in 6 guides, including Mermail Atlantean and Icejade guides (guide mentions)
- Inferred: Live-when-drawn is reasonable from the Normal Summon trigger (no once-per-turn or cost clauses in the supplied text); Clean material and Synchro body when the effect is negated (from Tuner type and attribute); Splashable with redundant copies (from deck-cost profile)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no rulings or once-per-turn wording beyond the supplied description usage_statistics limited to 5 archetypes
