Gale Dogra — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 47 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48 · Deck: 47 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Gale Dogra scores in the high 40s because it is a cheap Level 2 body that appears across 106 archetypes, not because it converts resources well. Its only effect costs 3000 LP to send one Extra Deck monster to the Graveyard, which gives no card advantage and no opponent interaction. High deck counts and staple partners confirm it is played, not that it is powerful, so those signals were kept out of the score. No combo boards were recorded, so the combo axis rests on text alone.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Present in 385 sampled decks with 3 copies in 92 of them (observed); no starter or searcher statistics are recorded, so live-hand reliability is unconfirmed (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | No combo boards were recorded, and the Extra Deck to Graveyard send builds no board from text alone (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | The 3000 LP cost comes with no draw, search or card gain; the Graveyard send moves a card rather than adding advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card text contains no negation, removal or hand-trap effect (verified). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A generic Level 2 body that fits Level or Rank 2 materials (inferred); no material role boards were recorded (observed). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Its value is a self-cost effect with no hand or backrow presence, so it is open to basic removal (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Low level with no garnet, lock or self-restriction, and copies run 1 to 3 without issue (verified from deck stats). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 47, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap, generic Level 2 body that fits many archetypes (observed across 106 archetypes)
- No garnet or lock restriction, and copies run up to 3 (verified)
- Usable as a Level or Rank 2 material body (inferred)
Weaknesses
- 3000 LP cost on its only effect (verified)
- No card advantage, search or opponent interaction (verified)
- No recorded combo boards, so no evidenced starter or payoff role (observed)
Counters / choke points
- Opponent removal or bounce of the body (inferred; not evidenced in the sample)
Best use
Level 2 material body with Extra Deck to Graveyard fuel (inferred). Decks: Dogmatika, Spright, Pendulum Magician. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: pay 3000 LP to send 1 Extra Deck monster to the Graveyard; Level 2 Earth Insect, 650 ATK / 600 DEF; Copy distribution across 385 decks: 1 copy in 267, 2 in 26, 3 in 92
- Observed: Appears in 385 sampled decks across 106 archetypes; gameplay split 45.7% / 41.8% / 11.9%; Top partners include Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (73.2%) and Called by the Grave (64.2%); Zero recorded combo boards; Featured in the Spright guide's Staple section and the Runick guide's Engine section (presence only, no role text)
- Inferred: Level 2 body usable as Level or Rank 2 material; LP-cost Graveyard send works as Extra Deck fuel; No searcher route exists in the evidence
- Data gaps: No combo boards supplied, so combo conversion is text-only No banlist token, so 3 copies (unlimited) is assumed No usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only The deck sample may be filtered to decks containing this card, so the 100% main rate does not measure base inclusion No once-per-turn or restriction wording in the card text, so none is assumed No rulings available
