Frightfur Tiger — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 64 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 61.8 · Deck: 64.8 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
Frightfur Tiger converts a Fusion Summon into a targeted board wipe sized by its material count, then pumps the Frightfur shell by 300 ATK per Fluffal and Frightfur monster you control. Its ATK and level do not earn points; the score comes from the summon-trigger effect and the shell it sits in. It is only live through the Edge Imp Sabres plus Fluffal Fusion route, it is one per name, and it has no combo sample, so the score stays in the mid-60s with medium confidence.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 68 | Present in all 400 sampled decks (100% inclusion across 5 usage archetypes), with Edge Imp Sabres at 99.2% and Polymerization at 98.8% co-occurrence, but it is an Extra Deck Fusion that needs a specific shell to summon (observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 75 | The text gives a material-scaled mass destruction plus a field-wide ATK buff; guide snippets describe a turn-2 OTK or field clear when it lands, but there are zero recorded combo boards (inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 50 | The destruction is optional and capped by material count, so it trades roughly evenly rather than generating repeated advantage; there is no refuel or search text (inferred) |
| Effect & Interaction | 70 | The on-summon destruction removes multiple cards at once, a strong and hard-to-dodge swing that is still punishable by negating the summon trigger (verified from text, inferred for the counterplay) |
| Material Utility | 35 | As a Level 6 DARK Fiend it is a Fusion endpoint, not a generic material body, and the evidence shows no material use (inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Once the trigger is spent it is a 1900 ATK body that a single removal or negation can end, and it is one per name with no redundancy in its own text (verified from text) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | It runs at one copy in 379 of 400 decks and uses a single Extra Deck slot, but it locks the build into the Edge Imp and Fluffal Fusion shell (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 61.8, Deck ≈ 64.8, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- A Fusion Summon that destroys up to as many cards as it used as materials, so a 2-material summon can clear two cards on the field
- Its ATK buff scales with the Fluffal and Frightfur monsters you control, so it strengthens the whole shell it is part of
- It is in 100% of the sampled Edge Imp and Fluffal decks and runs at one copy, so it is cheap to include
Weaknesses
- It is only reachable through the Edge Imp Sabres plus Fluffal Fusion route, which narrows where it can be summoned
- It is one per name, so a second copy in the Extra Deck is dead
- Once its trigger is spent or negated it is a 1900 ATK body with little follow-up
- It is a poor material; the evidence shows no material use
Counters / choke points
- Negating the Fusion Summon trigger (inferred, the card text does not name a specific counter)
- Disrupting the Edge Imp Sabres or Fluffal Fusion materials before the summon (inferred)
Best use
Board breaker and Fusion finisher. Decks: Fluffal, Edge Imp, Frightfur. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: Fusion Summon trigger destroys cards up to the number of Fusion Materials used; Text: Frightfur monsters gain 300 ATK per Fluffal and Frightfur monster you control; Text: you can only control 1 Frightfur Tiger; Decks: 400 of 400 sampled decks run it, average 1.05 copies
- Observed: Usage statistics: 100% inclusion in 5 archetype and gameplay pairs, typical copies 1; Edge Imp Sabres co-occurs in 99.2% of decks and Polymerization in 98.8%
- Inferred: Its role is a board breaker on summon, with the ATK pump as the secondary function; The guide-described turn-2 field clear is plausible from the trigger text but unmeasured; Negating the summon trigger is the main counterplay
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion rests on text and guide snippets only No banlist token; legal copies is empty, so 3 copies is assumed The sampled decks are dominated by one shell, so the deck signal mostly reflects the shell rather than the card alone No ruling data supplied for the once-per-name and material-count interactions
