Fortune Fairy Hu — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 60 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 61 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Fortune Fairy Hu is a Level 3 WIND Spellcaster that Special Summons itself when drawn and, once per turn, recovers a banished Spellcaster to hand when it is Special Summoned from the hand. Its score comes from reliable access (live on draw, in 20 of 20 sampled decks at about 1.85 copies) and a modest card-advantage effect that returns a Spellcaster from the banished zone. It has no opponent interaction, and combo evidence is absent, so combo conversion rests on text-only inference. High ATK or DEF plays no part in the score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Draw-trigger Special Summon from hand, live whenever drawn, and present in 20 of 20 sampled decks (verified text, observed deck inclusion). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No combo boards were supplied; the text yields one body plus one recovered card, and Fortune Fairy Chee, Swee and En co-occur in 100% of decks (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 65 | The hand-Summon effect returns a banished Spellcaster to hand, a net +1 when it works, but only when a Spellcaster is banished (verified text, inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal or hand-trap effect in the text (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | A Level 3 WIND Spellcaster is a usable but generic material body; no material-usage evidence was supplied (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Two once-per-turn effects in different zones give some redundancy, but the recovery depends on banished Spellcasters being available (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Average 1.85 copies, max 3, with no garnet or lock restriction (observed deck stats, verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 61, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Summons itself when drawn, so it is easy to access and rarely dead
- Recovers a banished Spellcaster to hand, giving a net card gain when it works
- Included in 20 of 20 sampled decks across 9 archetypes, showing a portable role
- Strong co-deck linkage with Fortune Fairy Chee, Swee and En (100%)
Weaknesses
- No opponent interaction
- Recovery needs a banished Spellcaster, so it can be dead early
- Combo evidence is absent, so its conversion value is inferred from text
- Generic Spellcaster body with a modest ceiling outside the Fortune Fairy shell
Counters / choke points
- Negation or hand-trap interaction is not needed to answer its single-body output; standard board breakers handle it
- Lack of Spellcaster banish fodder shuts off the recovery effect
Best use
Draw-trigger Summon body and recovery engine. Decks: Fortune Fairy, Fortune Lady, Gem-Knights. Suggested copies: 2.
