Frightfur Sheep — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 56 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss / End-board · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Frightfur Sheep is a Fusion body that reliably shows up in the Edge Imp/Fluffal/Frightfur shell: 386 recent decks run it at roughly one copy each, with 99% co-occurrence with Edge Imp Chain, so it is practically accessible through Polymerization-based lines. Its value comes from the text: a battle-step activation lock and a self-revival from the Graveyard with +800 ATK, which give it recurrence and a close-out role. No combo boards were supplied, so the conversion score rests on text and deck context only; the high deck count confirms it is played, not that it is powerful, and the 2000 ATK earns nothing on its own. The score is moderate because its material value and interaction are limited.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Live in 386 of the recent decks at about one copy each, with Edge Imp Chain and Polymerization co-occurring in over 89% of them, but it still needs Edge Imp Chain plus a Fluffal monster to fuse (verified: deck stats and card text; inferred: fusion route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The battle lock and self-revival with +800 ATK convert a single body into a stronger threat, but no combo boards were supplied so the conversion is text-only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | No card draw or search in the text; the Graveyard revival is recovery rather than advantage, so value is modest (verified: card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | The opponent cannot activate cards or effects until the end of the Damage Step after it battles, a situational lock with no direct removal or negation (verified: card text). |
| Material Utility | 30 | Level 5 DARK Fiend fusion body with no observed use as material in the evidence, and it is an Extra Deck monster that is unlikely to be a generic material (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Can revive from the Graveyard after being destroyed by battle or by an opponent's effect, once per turn, which gives it recurrence across turns (verified: card text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | One copy in almost every deck, no garnet or lock restriction, and no Main Deck slot cost; it is an Extra Deck card that is cheap to run (verified: decks_evidence). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in almost every Edge Imp/Fluffal/Frightfur build (386 decks, about one copy each)
- Revival from the Graveyard with +800 ATK gives recurrence after battle or effect destruction
- Cheap to run: one Extra Deck copy with no garnet or lock restriction
Weaknesses
- Needs Edge Imp Chain plus a Fluffal monster to fuse, so it depends on the shell
- Battle-step lock is situational and does not stop a non-battle response
- Poor material value: no observed use as a generic material and no combo evidence
Counters / choke points
- Interaction during the fusion or summon process before it resolves
- Board-wide or Graveyard-targeting effects that stop the once-per-turn revival
Best use
Extra Deck finisher with a Graveyard revival that adds recurrence in the late game. Decks: Edge Imp / Fluffal / Frightfur (Frightfur shell). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Live in 386 recent decks at about one copy each; Edge Imp Chain co-occurs in 99.2% of those decks; Battle-step activation lock and once-per-turn self-revival with +800 ATK from the card text
- Observed: Edge Imp Chain and Polymerization appear in most decks running this card; Guides place it as a core Extra Deck piece of the Frightfur shell
- Inferred: Accessibility is conditional on the Edge Imp Chain plus Fluffal fusion route; Recovery and recursion role follows from the revival clause
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
