Why it scores here
Fabled Raven is a Level 2 LIGHT Fiend Tuner whose once-per-turn discard effect converts hand cards into Level and ATK. Its value is mainly as a flexible Tuner body that can reach several Synchro levels, and it is in 400 of the 400 sampled decks at about 1.9 copies each across 33 archetypes. Those deck numbers confirm it is a practical, cheap, portable piece rather than a strong one: the score comes from its material and deckbuilding value, not from its 1300 ATK, which earns nothing. Discarding is a cost with no refuel, and there is no combo or interaction evidence, so the score stays in the low-to-mid 60s.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Live in hand across all 400 sampled decks, but no searcher or combo-start data is supplied to confirm routes (observed deck frequency, inferred hand accessibility). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text shows discard-N into N Levels and 400N ATK, but no combo boards or power index data exist, so conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Discarding is a cost paid from hand with no recursion or draw, so there is no card advantage (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or disruption text, so it offers no opponent interaction (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 70 | As a Level 2 LIGHT Fiend Tuner it can be raised in Level by discarding, giving flexible Synchro material (verified from text, inferred for Synchro fit). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Single body with a once-per-turn limit and no recursion or multi-turn text, so one hit or negate can end its value (verified from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Average 1.87 copies, no garnet or lock clause, and redundant copies are usable across 33 archetypes (observed from deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal primary role; no secondary role blended. Intrinsic ≈ 62.4, Deck ≈ 62, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Flexible Level 2 Tuner body that can be raised in Level by discarding
- Present in every sampled deck and spread across 33 archetypes, so it is portable
- Cheap to run at about 1.9 copies with no garnet or lock clause
Weaknesses
- No card advantage: discarding is a cost with no refuel or draw
- No opponent interaction of its own
- A single body with a once-per-turn limit, so the value is easy to end
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps or discard-based interaction that removes it from hand (inferred; no counter data supplied)
- Generic negation of its effect once it is on the field (inferred from text; no counter data supplied)
Best use
Flexible Tuner and discard-fueled Level and ATK body for Synchro and Fabled lines. Decks: Fabled, Fiendsmith, Dark World. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 2 LIGHT Fiend Tuner, 1300 ATK / 1000 DEF (card fields); Once per turn: discard any number of cards to gain 1 Level and 400 ATK each until end of turn (card description); No negation, removal, or recursion text (card description)
- Observed: Runs in 400 of 400 sampled decks, avg 1.87 copies, max 3 (deck data); Spans 33 distinct archetypes; Dark World 26%, Fabled 22.8%, Fiendsmith 11.5% (deck data); Frequent partners include Card Destruction (57.5%) and Fabled Lurrie (54.5%) (deck data)
- Inferred: Discard-to-Level lets it fit a range of Synchro levels as a Tuner (inferred from text); Hand-based value makes it exposed to hand traps before it is used (inferred from text)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token: legal copies assumed 3 (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no searcher or starter data: accessibility rests on deck frequency and text guide evidence is one general Fabled guide with no card-specific rulings
