Why it scores here
Edge Imp Cotton Eater is a Level 7 DARK Fiend Pendulum body that is in the main deck of all 74 sampled decks, almost always alongside Edge Imp Chain, so its accessibility is high. Its text is archetype-specific: a 300 ATK buff to Fusion Monsters, a once-per-turn draw on a Frightfur Fusion Summon, and a once-per-turn 200-damage Special Summon effect scaling with Frightfur monsters in the GY. Those effects convert into modest value, not board-level conversion, and there are no recorded combo boards to show otherwise. High deck inclusion confirms the card is played, not that it is intrinsically powerful, so the score reflects the modest text and the lack of combo evidence rather than its frequency.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 68 | Main deck in 74/74 sampled decks with Edge Imp Chain as a 100% partner, but the access route is not shown in combo data (observed deck frequency; route inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Fusion ATK buff, once-per-turn draw on Frightfur Fusion Summon, and scaling Special Summon damage are text-only with no combo boards to confirm them (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | One card of draw, once per turn and conditional on a Frightfur Fusion Summon, with no refuel or banish recursion in the evidence (verified text, inferred impact). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal or hand-trap effect in its text (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | Level 7 DARK Fiend body at 2400 ATK keeps its stats if the effect is negated, so it remains usable as material (verified stats, inferred use). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Works from the Pendulum Zone and the monster zone, and its Special Summon damage is not tied to one turn; no redundancy data (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Average 1.5 copies per deck with 49 of 74 decks running one copy, and no garnet or lock restriction (observed deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in 74 of 74 sampled decks with a stable support partner (Edge Imp Chain)
- Clean Level 7 DARK Fiend body that keeps its stats when its effects are negated
- Cheap to run: one copy in most decks and no garnet restriction
Weaknesses
- Draw and damage effects are once-per-turn and conditional, so per-turn value is modest
- No interaction or negation
- No combo boards in the evidence to show conversion beyond the text
Counters / choke points
- No specific counter cards identified in the evidence; generic negation or Fusion-disruption interaction is inferred, not evidenced
Best use
Pendulum-zone support that adds Fusion ATK and an optional draw, with a Special Summon damage follow-up. Decks: Frightfur, Fluffal, Edge Imp. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Pendulum scale 1 and Level 7 DARK Fiend stats from card data; Fusion ATK buff, once-per-turn draw and once-per-turn Special Summon damage from card text; Present in 74 of 74 sampled decks; 49 of 74 run one copy
- Observed: Edge Imp Chain co-appears in 100% of sampled decks; Distributed across Frightfur, Fluffal and Edge Imp archetypes
- Inferred: Utility primary role with a Material body secondary role, from text and stats; Modest per-turn conversion, from once-per-turn and conditional wording; Route to access the card is partner-based, not confirmed by combo data
- 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 deck sample only
