Fire King Avatar Yaksha — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 53 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
The card's 1800 ATK and Level 4 body earn it nothing on their own. Its value is a conditional hand Special Summon when a face-up Fire King monster is destroyed by a card effect, plus a graveyard effect that destroys one card as a cost. It is present in all 199 sampled decks and is a staple of the Fire King archetype, which supports medium-high accessibility and deck-level synergy. No combo data was supplied, so combo conversion and resource scores rest on text alone and stay moderate.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Present in 199 of 199 sampled decks, but the hand summon only turns on after a Fire King monster is destroyed by an effect, so it is not a reliable opening-hand card (observed; the trigger condition is verified from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | No recorded boards exist (combo data total 0), so conversion of one body into a board is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | The graveyard effect destroys one card in hand or on the field as a cost, which is a one-for-one loss with no draw or search (verified from text; no combo stats). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no opponent-facing negation, removal, or disruption effect (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A non-Tuner Level 4 FIRE Beast-Warrior that can be material for generic Level 4 plays; the body stays usable when its effects are negated (verified from card stats; inferred for the negated case). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | It works from hand and from the graveyard after destruction, across more than one zone, and only the Damage Step blocks the first effect (verified from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 62 | Average 1.44 copies per deck with no garnet or lock, but it is tied to the Fire King engine, which limits use outside that archetype (observed from decks; inferred for the archetype limit). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand Special Summon that triggers off Fire King destruction, keeping the engine going from hand
- Present in 199 of 199 sampled decks, with 96 in the Fire King archetype (48.2%)
- Clean generic Level 4 FIRE body usable as material
- Two effects in different zones (hand and graveyard) give some resilience
Weaknesses
- Hand summon needs a face-up Fire King monster to be destroyed by an effect first
- Graveyard effect costs one card, so it is card-neutral at best
- No opponent interaction
- Tied to the Fire King engine, which limits use outside Fire King homes
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps or effects that stop the Special Summon from hand
- Opponent interaction that prevents a Fire King monster from being destroyed by effect, which removes the trigger
Best use
Extender. Decks: Fire King (archetype 1336), Fire King engine lists with Fire King Island and Fire King Avatar Arvata. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect Monster, FIRE, Beast-Warrior, Level 4, 1800 ATK / 200 DEF; Hand Special Summon when a face-up Fire King monster is destroyed by a card effect (except Damage Step); Graveyard effect destroys 1 card in hand or on field, once per turn as stated; Archetype Fire King; 96 of 199 sampled decks (48.2%) are Fire King
- Observed: Present in 199 of 199 sampled decks, average 1.44 copies per deck; Top partner co-occurrence 79-91% across Fire King engine cards; Mainly run in the Fire King archetype and gameplay type 7 (76.4%)
- Inferred: The hand summon is conditional and not reliable from opening hand; Graveyard effect is a net card-neutral or negative cost; Negated body remains usable as a generic Level 4 material
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only the once-per-turn clause in the description is attached to the graveyard effect; its scope is not fully explicit
