Flying Fish — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 36 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 41 · Deck: 33 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Flying Fish is a vanilla Level 4 WIND Normal Monster whose only text is flavor, so it has no effect to convert into value. Its score comes from being a clean, generic Level 4 material body that cannot be negated or blanked, and from costing almost nothing to run. Its 800 ATK earns no points, and the single observed Phantasm Spiral deck confirms it is playable but does not show it is powerful.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 25 | Normal Monster with no search or draw route; it is live whenever drawn, but the only evidence is one deck (deck data) (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 5 | No effect text and zero combo appearances, so it builds nothing on its own (combo data; card text) (verified). |
| Resource Economy | 5 | No draw, search, or recursion, and it is a plain -1 body when used as material (card text) (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect, so it provides no negation, removal, or hand trap (card text) (verified). |
| Material Utility | 50 | Level 4 WIND Fish, a generic material with no effect that could be negated; usefulness as a Level 4 material is inferred from level and type (card text) (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | With no effect there is nothing to negate, so it survives interaction, but it has no redundancy or multi-turn value (card text) (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Single copy seen in the sample, no garnet or lock restriction, and it is easy to splash (deck data; card text) (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Material body / Normal; no secondary role blended. Intrinsic ≈ 41, Deck ≈ 33, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cannot be negated or blanked because it has no effect text
- Clean generic Level 4 WIND material with no garnet or lock cost
- Playable in Phantasm Spiral as a 1-copy body
Weaknesses
- No effect, search, draw, or interaction
- Zero combo appearances in the evidence
- Only one deck sample, so its role is not confirmed at scale
Counters / choke points
- Generic monster removal or mass-destruction effects, since it has no protection of its own
Best use
Material body. Decks: Phantasm Spiral. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster, Level 4, WIND Fish, 800 ATK / 500 DEF, with flavor-only text (card data); Zero combo appearances, so no starter, searched, material, or payoff role is recorded (combo data)
- Observed: Appears in 1 of 1 sampled deck (Phantasm Spiral), 1 copy in main deck (deck data)
- Inferred: Level 4 body is usable as material for Level 4 summons, based on level and type; Survives opponent interaction because there is no effect to negate
- 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 one deck in the sample, so the role is not confirmed at scale
