Fluffal Angel — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 51 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49.4 · Deck: 51.6 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery / Recursion · Secondary: Starter / Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Fluffal Angel reliably converts its Graveyard into one Fluffal, Edge Imp or (via the monster effect, at a Tribute and discard cost) one Frightfur Fusion on the field, but each route needs a specific GY target and gives no interaction. The 83-deck sample across Fluffal, Frightfur and Edge Imp homes confirms it is a real, portable recursion piece. Its 600 ATK and 1200 DEF earn nothing, and the lack of combo evidence keeps combo conversion near the middle.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Playable from hand and pendulum zone, but both effects need a Fluffal or Edge Imp monster in the GY, and the second also needs a Frightfur Fusion there (verified from text; no as_starter or as_searched data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Each effect is a one-for-one GY-to-field revive with no board multiplication shown in the evidence; zero recorded boards (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | The Pendulum effect is free card-neutral recursion, but the monster effect costs a self-Tribute and a discard for one revived monster (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal or hand-trap effect in the text (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Level 2 LIGHT Fairy with 600 ATK is a modest body; its main material role is being Tributed as the cost of the monster effect (verified from text; no as_material data). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Two effects across GY and field give some multi-spot value, but both depend on GY targets that the opponent can remove (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Average 1.52 copies per deck with 47 of 83 decks running one copy, so it fits cheaply but is archetype-locked to Fluffal, Frightfur and Edge Imp (observed from deck evidence). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Starter/Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 49.4, Deck ≈ 51.6, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (Deck includes the -2 modifier)
Strengths
- Recurs a Fluffal or Edge Imp monster from the GY, with the extra-deck lock applying only to non-Fusion monsters
- Monster effect revives a Frightfur Fusion from the GY, linking it into Frightfur homes
- Broad deck presence: 83 of 83 sampled decks across 21 archetype IDs, with 96.4% co-occurrence with Edge Imp Chain
Weaknesses
- No combo evidence, so combo conversion rests on text alone
- Both effects need a GY target, and the monster effect also costs a self-Tribute and a discard
- No negation, removal or hand-trap reach
Counters / choke points
- Graveyard hate aimed at Fluffal, Edge Imp or Frightfur Fusion targets (inferred from text)
- Negation of either activated effect (inferred from text; no interaction sample)
Best use
Recovery / Recursion: GY-to-field revive in Fluffal, Frightfur and Edge Imp shells. Decks: Fluffal, Frightfur, Edge Imp. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Two effect units: GY revive of a Fluffal or Edge Imp monster with an extra-deck lock, and a Tribute plus discard cost to revive a Frightfur Fusion; Pendulum scale 8, Level 2, LIGHT Fairy, 600 ATK, 1200 DEF; 83 sampled decks; 96.4% co-occurrence with Edge Imp Chain
- Observed: Average 1.52 copies per deck, with 47 decks running one copy and 29 running two; Present in three archetype homes (Fluffal, Frightfur, Edge Imp)
- Inferred: Both effects depend on specific GY targets and cannot be used from an empty GY; Negation of either effect would stop its conversion (no interaction sample)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, so 3 copies assumed no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only
