Flamvell Archer — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 39 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 42.4 · Deck: 37.4 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Flamvell Archer converts into a single-turn +800 ATK pump for Flamvell monsters, but only by tributing a face-up Pyro, so it is a net −1 card with no return and builds no board by itself. Its real value is as a Level 3 Tuner body, which keeps it useful as material even when the effect is not used. The 1000 ATK and 200 DEF earn nothing, and the evidence shows only 3 decks from 2023–2024 with no combo appearances, so the score stays in the low 40s.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Only 3 decks run it, all Flamvell, and no searcher or starter route appears in the evidence (observed, with an inferred gap). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | The effect is a conditional ATK pump with no board-building text, and no combo boards were recorded (inferred from text; combos_evidence is empty). |
| Resource Economy | 15 | Requires tributing a face-up Pyro for no return, so it is a net card disadvantage (verified from card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect is described in the text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Level 3 Tuner with FIRE/Pyro typing is a clean generic material, and the body keeps that value when its effect is negated (verified from card text; no combo material stats, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The effect is once per turn and needs a Pyro on the field, with no redundancy or multi-zone use in evidence (verified from text, inferred for resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Single copy with no garnet, lock, or brick restriction, and it is easy to run in any Flamvell list (observed from deck copies, 1 per deck). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility (default) + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 42.4, Deck ≈ 37.4, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 3 Tuner body with FIRE/Pyro typing is clean generic material
- Effect can be used with its own Tribute when a Pyro is on the field
- Single copy with no garnet or lock cost
- Consistently run in Flamvell lists (3 of 3 sampled decks)
Weaknesses
- Tribute cost is a net −1 with no return
- ATK boost is limited to 800 on Flamvell monsters, once per turn
- No search, recovery, or opponent interaction in the text
- No combo boards recorded, so conversion is text-only
Counters / choke points
- Effect negation (inferred from text; no counter evidence supplied)
Best use
Level 3 Tuner material and Pyro-tribute ATK booster. Decks: Flamvell. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 3 Tuner, FIRE Pyro, 1000 ATK / 200 DEF (card text); Once-per-turn Tribute of a face-up Pyro for +800 ATK to all Flamvell monsters until End Phase (card text)
- Observed: Appears in 3 of 3 sampled decks, all Flamvell, 1 copy each (decks_evidence); Co-occurs with Flamvell Firedog, Neo Flamvell Sabre and Flamvell Magician in all 3 decks (decks_evidence)
- Inferred: Net −1 card advantage from the Tribute cost (text); Material value holds when the effect is negated (text)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only only 3 decks sampled, all dated 2023-10 to 2024-09 no searcher or starter route evidence
