Eva — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 53 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Eva's only effect is a once-per-turn, graveyard-triggered search: banish up to 2 other LIGHT Fairies from field/GY to add the same number of Level 2 or lower LIGHT Fairies from Deck. That converts dead Fairy bodies into hand cards with no board presence and no opponent interaction, so the score rests on resource conversion and the search route rather than on its 500 ATK or Level 1 body. The 400-deck sample is every deck containing Eva, so its 100% deck count and 98% partner rate measure shell fit, not strength, and earn no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Eva is a Level 1 body with no text-given route to the graveyard, and the 400-deck sample (1-3 copies each) shows it is practical in Fairy shells, but no combo starter or searched stats exist to confirm the route (inference, observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The text converts up to 2 banished fodder into up to 2 searched Fairies (1-for-1 at best), with no board-building step; no combo examples are supplied (inference). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | The search is card-neutral to positive because it spends already-dead field/GY Fairies to add cards from Deck, which refuels the graveyard into hand (verified text, inference on net value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | Eva has no negation, removal, or disruption effect of any kind (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level 1 LIGHT Fairy is a generic low-level body that still converts into the search if blanked on the field, though the trigger is a graveyard effect (inference). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | The trigger is in the graveyard and once per turn, so field-based negates do not stop it, but there is no redundancy and no multi-turn presence (inference). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Eva is a 1-copy-typical LIGHT Fairy with no garnet or lock, but it requires a LIGHT Fairy shell for banish fodder and search targets, which mildly restricts where it can run (observed deck data, inference). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: LIGHT Fairy shell restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Converts graveyard Fairies into hand cards once per turn with no board requirement
- Level 2-or-lower search targets give a wide pool of Fairy follow-ups
- Trigger sits in the graveyard, so field negates do not stop it
- Cheap, widely run in the sampled Fairy shells
Weaknesses
- No interaction or negation whatsoever
- Requires LIGHT Fairy resources in the graveyard or field and a LIGHT Fairy-only search pool
- Net value is 1-for-1 at best, so it adds no card advantage
- Needs a route to the graveyard that the evidence does not show
Counters / choke points
- No specific counter is evidenced; the card's value is a single graveyard search, so disrupting the Fairy resources or the search pool reduces it (inference)
Best use
Graveyard-triggered Fairy searcher providing 1-for-1 refuel into hand. Decks: LIGHT Fairy shells such as Herald and Gem-Knight builds in the sample.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect text: GY trigger, banish up to 2 other LIGHT Fairies from field/GY, add same number of Level 2-or-lower LIGHT Fairies with different names from Deck, once per turn; Level 1, LIGHT Fairy, 500 ATK, Effect Monster
- Observed: Sampled 400 decks all run Eva (305 at 1 copy, 41 at 2, 54 at 3; average 1.37); Top partner co-occurrence: Herald of Orange Light 98.2%, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 74.5%
- Inferred: Search is card-neutral to slightly positive because it spends dead GY/field Fairies; Trigger is protected from field-based negates; Level 1 body is a generic low-level material option
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, combo conversion is text-only inference no graveyard routes to Eva are supplied, so accessibility is inferred from deck placement deck data is the 400 decks containing Eva (decks running it in the Main Deck equals total decks by construction), so the deck count does not measure inclusion rate guides mention Fairy and Drytron shells but do not name Eva in their snippets no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics beyond 2 Herald and Melodious rows
