Frightfur Sabre-Tooth — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 62 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 58 · Deck: 64 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
The card's value comes from its text: a Fusion Summon trigger that revives a Frightfur from the GY and gives all Frightfur monsters +400 ATK, plus protection from battle and effect destruction when summoned with 3 or more materials. Its ATK of 2400 earns nothing on its own. Decks evidence shows it is run in all 400 sampled decks, almost always as a single copy, but that confirms accessibility and fit, not strength (guardrail 3). Combo data is absent, so conversion and resilience scores rest on text-only inference and are capped accordingly.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Reached through Fusion Summon with Polymerization (98% of decks) and Frightfur Fusion (96%), and it appears in 400 of 400 sampled decks (observed); no starter or searcher data is supplied, so the route is inferred. |
| Combo & Conversion | 68 | The GY revive plus +400 ATK to all Frightfur can turn one fusion into a multi-body, larger board, but no board examples exist to confirm the scale (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The GY Special Summon is a one-for-one body return with no card draw or banish refuel stated in the text, so advantage is roughly even (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 30 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect; the only protection is against its own destruction when summoned with 3+ materials (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | A Fusion monster is not a generic material body and the text gives no material role for it; the score is low because there is no evidence of material use (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Immunity to battle and effect destruction, available only at 3+ materials, gives some survival; the GY revive gives a second use (verified from text, with the threshold making it situational). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Runs as one copy on average (1.21 avg, 332 of 400 decks at one copy), sits in the Extra Deck, and carries no garnet or lock restriction (observed from decks; the rest is inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 64, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Revives a Frightfur from the GY on Fusion Summon, giving a second body from the graveyard
- Gives all Frightfur monsters +400 ATK, which strengthens the whole board
- Protection from battle and effect destruction when summoned with 3+ materials
- Used in every sampled deck, with strong partner links to Polymerization and Frightfur support cards
Weaknesses
- Needs Fusion Summon materials and a Fusion route, so it depends on the enablers around it
- Its protection only applies at 3+ materials, which is situational
- Has no negation or removal of its own
- Combo data is missing, so its board impact is unverified
Counters / choke points
- Negation or card-effect answers on the Fusion Summon trigger
- Monster removal or destruction on the board, which the 3-material protection only partly answers
Best use
Extender / Fusion finisher that revives a Frightfur and boosts the Frightfur board. Decks: Frightfur, Fluffal, Edge Imp. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Fusion Summon trigger: Special Summon 1 Frightfur from the GY; All Frightfur monsters gain 400 ATK while the effect applies; Cannot be destroyed by battle or card effects if summoned with 3+ materials; Average 1.21 copies per deck; 332 of 400 decks run 1 copy
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks (93% as a main-deck gameplay type); Top partners include Polymerization (98%) and Frightfur Fusion (96%); Inclusion 100% in the Edge Imp and Fluffal usage statistics (generic staple status, not a power signal)
- Inferred: Fusion Summon route is reliable because Polymerization and Frightfur Fusion are near-universal partners; Board conversion is roughly one revived body plus the +400 ATK buff, scaled by the number of Frightfur on board; Material utility is low because there is no evidence the card is used as material
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no material-usage data for the card body no dated meta sample supplied, so meta power is null
