Fluffal Penguin — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 65 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 61 · Deck: 67 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Fluffal Penguin's value comes from its field effect, which Special Summons another Fluffal from hand, turning one body into two, and from its Fusion Material clause, which draws 2 and discards 1 when it is sent to the Graveyard for a Frightfur Fusion. Both are real, and the 400/400 deck inclusion with 100% co-occurrence with Fluffal Wings and Frightfur Patchwork confirms it is played, but that frequency only supports accessibility and deck fit, not raw strength. The 1600 ATK and 1100 DEF earn nothing, and the lack of combo data keeps conversion scoring at text-level inference.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 78 | Run 3 copies in 400 of 400 decks with 100% partner overlap, but it is not a searcher, so its access depends on being drawn (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Text gives one extra Fluffal body from hand while it is face-up, with no recorded combo boards to confirm the conversion (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | The Frightfur-Fusion Graveyard clause nets +1 card, once per turn and only on that route (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in the text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 72 | Explicit Fusion-material value for Frightfur, and a Level 4 Water Fairy body; the material clause still works when the field effect is negated (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Its summon effect works once while face-up on the field, and its 1100 DEF body is easy to remove (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Three copies in a dedicated archetype with no garnet or lock cost, though it is restricted to Fluffal-compatible decks (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 61, Deck ≈ 67, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Converts one field body into a hand-summoned Fluffal, extending the board
- Clean Fusion-material value for Frightfur with a card-advantage clause
- Present in every sampled deck of its archetype homes, so access is reliable
Weaknesses
- Effect works once while face-up on the field, with no protection
- Card advantage requires a specific Frightfur Fusion route
- No interaction, so it cannot answer opposing plays
Counters / choke points
- Board removal or a field-effect negate stops the summon effect
- Opponent can target the body before the Main Phase summon
Best use
Extender and Fusion material body for Frightfur Fusion lines. Decks: Fluffal, Edge Imp, Frightfur. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Field effect: Special Summon 1 Fluffal from hand once while face-up; Graveyard-as-Fusion-Material clause: draw 2, discard 1, once per turn; Inclusion of 3 copies in 400/400 decks
- Observed: Average 2.62 copies per deck; 100% overlap with Fluffal Wings and Frightfur Patchwork; Usage statistics show 100% inclusion in 5 archetype/gameplay homes
- Inferred: Acts as an extender from the hand; Fragile to field removal given its DEF and once-per-field-face-up limit
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, so 3 copies (unlimited) assumed no rulings supplied for the Fusion-material timing
