Fabled Dyf — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 39 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 41 · Deck: 37 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Fabled Dyf's power is a single conversion: it Tributes itself to Special Summon one Fabled from your GY whenever a Fabled is sent from hand to GY. That is a board-for-board swap with no net card advantage, and it depends on a Fabled already being discarded from hand and on Dyf being on the field to trigger. Its 1400 ATK and Level 3 body earn nothing on their own, and the two sampled decks and zero recorded combos show the card as a niche archetype piece rather than a proven engine.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Needs a Fabled sent from hand to GY and Dyf on the field; no searcher or starter role/searched-for role data supports a reliable route (2 decks, 0 combos) (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Converts one GY Fabled into one field body at the cost of itself; no combo examples or power index exist to show a larger board (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Tributing itself is a one-for-one swap that refuels a Fabled from the GY, but nets no card advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card text has no negation, removal or disruption, so it contributes no opponent interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 45 | Level 3 Light Fiend body is a plausible Synchro material per the guide, but the effect tributes the card itself, so the body is not kept (observed). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Effect needs Dyf on the field and a Fabled discarded, with no redundancy shown in evidence, so it is easy to shut off (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Single copy, one archetype, no garnet or lock text in the evidence; cheap to run in an archetype deck (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 41, Deck ≈ 37, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Converts a Fabled already in the GY into a field body
- Triggers off the archetype's own hand-to-GY discards
- Cheap, single-copy slot with no garnet cost in the evidence
Weaknesses
- Tributes itself, so it nets no card advantage
- Depends on a Fabled being sent from hand and on Dyf being on the field
- Level 3 body and 1400 ATK are not what earns the score
Counters / choke points
- Mass or targeted removal on Dyf before the trigger
- Interrupting the hand-to-GY discard that enables the trigger
Best use
Extender: revive a Fabled from GY after hand-to-GY discards. Decks: Fabled. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect text: Tribute this card to Special Summon one Fabled monster sent from hand to GY (Fabled archetype, Level 3 LIGHT Fiend, 1400 ATK); Two decks run it, both Fabled, one copy each, Duel Links gameplay; No banlist or usage statistics data
- Observed: Guide lists Fabled as a hand-to-GY discard archetype with Synchro-leveling combos; Top partners are other Fabled monsters in both decks
- Inferred: Revival is a board-for-board swap with no card advantage; Dyf is a niche Fabled piece, not a standalone power card
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only only 2 sampled decks, both from 2023-01 — recency is stale legal copies empty for all formats
