Why it scores here
Fabled Valkyrus is a Level 8 Synchro that needs a Fabled Tuner plus a non-Tuner, and its only effect is a once-per-turn discard of a Fiend to draw 1, which is card-neutral. It is present in nearly every sampled Fabled list (257 decks, 1.12 copies on average) and is a stable piece of the Fabled Synchro line, so the score reflects reliable access and a clean one-copy slot rather than raw ATK or stats. There is no combo data, so the combo and material scores are text-based estimates, and the card earns little for interaction or resource gain beyond its rummage-draw.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Summoned through a Fabled Tuner that the Fabled engine supplies in most lists (257 decks, 50.6% Fabled plus other homes) (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Synchro body with a draw effect; no recorded boards, so conversion from a starter is inferred from text only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Discard 1 Fiend, draw 1 is card-neutral and once per turn, giving rummage-level value rather than net advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | Card text contains no negation, removal or hand-trap effect (verified). |
| Material Utility | 35 | Level 8 Synchro, usable as a material in Synchro lines only; no effect-negated material evidence supplied (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Appears across 15 archetypes with 15 recurring partners, but has no interaction protection of its own (observed). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Runs 1 copy in most decks (225 of 257) with no garnet or lock restriction in the text (verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 49.9, Deck ≈ 54.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Present in 257 sampled decks across 15 archetypes, so access is reliable in its home archetype
- Clean one-copy slot with no garnet or lock cost
- Once-per-turn Fiend-to-draw gives a low-cost, card-neutral refill
Weaknesses
- No interaction or negation, so it adds no defensive value
- Draw effect is card-neutral and needs a Fiend in the graveyard or hand
- Score rests on text and deck presence because no combo boards were supplied
Counters / choke points
- Negation and board-breaking effects that remove the Synchro material line
Best use
Synchro extender and once-per-turn draw in the Fabled line. Decks: Fabled. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: Synchro with a Fabled Tuner plus 1+ non-Tuner materials; Text: once per turn, discard 1 Fiend to draw 1; Copies: 1 in 225 of 257 decks, 2 in 32
- Observed: Present in 257 of the sampled decks, 93.4% in gameplay type 7; Top partners Fabled Krus and Fabled Andwraith co-occur in about 90% of decks
- Inferred: Synchro-line material role and combo conversion, from text since no combos were supplied; Accessibility depends on a Fabled Tuner being in the main deck
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion and material use are text-only inference no banlist token, so 3 copies assumed no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so inclusion relies on the deck sample alone guide snippet is Vietnamese and only covers Fabled in general, not this card's specific lines
