Dragunity Primus Pilus — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 54 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
The card is a Level 5 Wind Winged Beast body whose on-summon effect converts one Dragunity monster already on the field into a holder for a Level 3 or lower Dragon Dragunity pulled from the Deck, which is a real deck-to-field gain of roughly one card when it resolves. It is consistently run (23 of 23 sampled decks, one copy each, 91% in the main Dragunity archetype, paired 100% with Dragunity Senatus and Dragunity Couse), so its access is confirmed, but that frequency is not used to inflate the score. The score stays moderate because there is no interaction, the effect depends on a live Dragunity Winged Beast being on the field, and no combo boards were recorded to show what it converts into.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Live as a Level 5 body in the Dragunity shell in 23 of 23 sampled decks, but it needs a Dragunity Winged Beast already on the field to do anything (observed, inferred for the field requirement). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Its effect pulls a Level 3 or lower Dragon Dragunity from the Deck onto the field, but no combo boards were recorded to confirm the end result (verified for the effect text, inferred for the conversion). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | The on-summon Deck pull is a net gain of one card with no recorded refuel or recursion (verified for the text, inferred for the advantage count). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card carries no negation, removal, or disruption, so it scores near the floor (verified from the text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A clean Level 5 Wind Winged Beast that stays a usable material even if its effect is negated, though the text does not give a Tuner (verified from the card fields, inferred for the material fit). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The effect is a single on-summon trigger that one negation removes, while the body still remains as material (inferred from the text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | One copy per deck with no garnet or brick clause, but the card is tied to the Dragunity shell and needs a specific field requirement (observed for copies, verified for text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Combo enabler (Starter profile) + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (decks present, combos absent, meta unknown)
Strengths
- Deck-to-field gain on summon, roughly one card of advantage when it resolves
- Level 5 Wind Winged Beast body that stays usable as material even if its effect is negated
- Consistently run in the Dragunity shell with a 100% pairing with Dragunity Senatus and Dragunity Couse
- One copy per deck, so it is cheap to run
Weaknesses
- No interaction or disruption of its own
- The effect depends on a Dragunity Winged Beast already on the field
- No recorded combo boards, so the real conversion rate is unmeasured
- Little value outside the Dragunity archetype
Counters / choke points
- Negating the on-summon trigger removes the equip, leaving only the body (inferred from the text)
Best use
Combo enabler: pulls a Level 3 or lower Dragon Dragunity from the Deck on summon, with a Level 5 body for material. Decks: Dragunity (archetype 731) shell. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 5 Wind Winged Beast, 2200 ATK / 1600 DEF, Effect Monster, archetype Dragunity; On summon, equip a face-up Winged Beast Dragunity you control with a Level 3 or lower Dragon Dragunity from the Deck; Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks
- Observed: Present in 23 of 23 sampled decks, always one copy; 91.3% of decks in archetype 731 and 8.7% in archetype 244, both named Dragunity; Dragunity Senatus and Dragunity Couse each appear in 100% of decks that run this card
- Inferred: The Deck-to-field equip is a net gain of about one card when it resolves; The on-summon trigger is removed by a single negation; The Level 5 body remains a usable material when its effect is negated
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion % comes from the deck sample only no once-per-turn or timing wording in the supplied text, so none is assumed average starter count when present is unavailable, so deck resilience is estimated from the archetype spread alone
