You can only use each effect of "Fire King Avatar Arvata" once per turn.
Fire King Avatar Arvata — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Fire King Avatar Arvata's main value is a field-only Quick Effect that negates any monster effect activation, paid for by destroying another FIRE monster. Its GY trigger adds one negated, temporary body, so it converts board presence into interaction plus a small amount of extra material. It is in all 400 sampled decks at about 1.2 copies, which confirms it is a practical staple but does not raise the score. Its 1800 ATK earned nothing; the score is held down by zero recorded combos, the self-destruction on every negate, and the negated, End-Phase-destroyed revived body.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks, mostly as a single copy, but no combo boards record it being searched or started (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The GY trigger yields one negated, temporary body, and no combo examples confirm a larger board (inferred from text, no combo data). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | Each negate destroys one of the user's own FIRE monsters and the revived body is destroyed at End Phase, so there is no net card gain (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 65 | Negates any monster effect activation while it is on the field, a broad but field-bound trigger that needs a FIRE monster to pay for it (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level 4 Beast-Warrior body with no recorded material use, so its material value is only inferred from its type and level (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | The GY trigger still gives value after it is destroyed, but the negate is lost if it is removed from the field first (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Usually a single copy, with no garnet, lock, or copy restriction in the evidence, though the FIRE requirement narrows its use (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Quick-effect negate of any monster effect activation while on the field
- GY trigger gives value after the card is destroyed
- Present across 41 archetypes, so the card is portable between themes
- Usually a single copy, which keeps deckbuilding cost low
Weaknesses
- Every negate requires destroying one of the user's own FIRE monsters
- The revived body is negated and destroyed in the End Phase
- Negation only works while the card is on the field
- No recorded combo boards, so combo conversion is unconfirmed
Counters / choke points
- Removing it from the field before a monster effect is activated, since its negate only works while it is on the field (inferred from text)
- Running out of FIRE monsters in hand or field, since the negate's destruction cost cannot be paid (inferred from text)
Best use
Field negate with a GY-triggered extra body. Decks: Fire King (archetype 1336), Fire King (archetype 750), Jurrac (archetype 587). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Quick-effect negate of monster effect activations while on the field, with a mandatory destruction of another FIRE monster on use; GY trigger special-summons a FIRE Beast, Beast-Warrior, or Winged Beast with effects negated and destruction in the End Phase; 400 of 400 sampled decks run it, with 335 running a single copy and an average of 1.2 copies; Spans 41 distinct archetypes across three gameplay types
- Observed: Top partners co-occur in 100% of sampled decks; Gameplay type split is 76% / 12.8% / 11.2%; Usage statistics show 44%–100% inclusion across seven archetype/gameplay pairs; Three guides mention the card
- Inferred: Field presence is the main route to the negate, with the card as a board-based answer; The GY revive is a one-body extension rather than a board-building engine; Accessibility is deck-supported but not searcher-supported in the evidence
- Data gaps: No combo boards: combo conversion, starter/searched/material roles, and power index are unmeasured No banlist or copy-limit token in the evidence; a 3-copy limit is assumed No material role data, so material utility rests on text and card type Guide snippets are thin, and one is off-topic noise
