Why it scores here
Ghost Beef is a Level 7 DARK Beast Normal Pendulum with 2000 ATK and 1000 DEF. Its monster block is flavor text only, so it has no effect. Its one real effect is a once-per-turn die roll that raises its own Pendulum Scale by up to 6, capped at 10. The body is a clean Level 7 Dark material that cannot be negated, so it converts reliably into material. It has no searcher, no combo starts in the evidence, and no interaction, so most of its score comes from being a dependable body. The 2000 ATK earns no points, and the 8-deck spread across 7 archetypes confirms it is a generic staple, not a strong pick.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | It is in 8 of 8 sampled main decks across 7 archetypes, but no searcher or combo route is recorded to get it into hand (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | No combos are recorded, so any conversion is text-only: a single body that makes no board on its own (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | A plain body with a self-scale roll and no card advantage or recursion, so it is roughly a 1-for-1 body at best (verified, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The only effect is a scale-raising die roll, with no negation, removal or hand-trap reach (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A Level 7 DARK Beast with no effect to negate, so it always converts cleanly as a material; Level 7 fits Xyz rank 7 and needs a Tuner for Synchro (verified, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | No effect exists for an opponent to negate, but the card offers no recovery and is a single-body line (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | A single copy fits in most builds, with no garnet, lock or self-restriction, and the 1.5 average copies suggest easy redundancy (observed, verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 50, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean Level 7 DARK material that cannot be blanked
- Consistent main-deck inclusion across 7 archetypes
- Pendulum scale roll can raise its own scale by up to 6 (max 10)
- No garnet or restriction cost to run
Weaknesses
- No searcher or combo route in the evidence
- No interaction or disruption
- Its monster block is flavor text only, so there is no body effect
- Level 7 is awkward for Synchro without a Tuner
Counters / choke points
- Interaction is not needed; it has no effect to stop, so the main way to lose it is to be bypassed
Best use
Level 7 Dark material body and Pendulum scale-extender in Pendulum-based decks. Decks: Exodia, Metalfoes, Igknight, Pendulum Magician, Odd-Eyes, Elementsaber, Orgoth. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 7 DARK Beast Normal Pendulum, 2000 ATK / 1000 DEF, Pendulum Scale 4; Once-per-turn die roll that raises its own Pendulum Scale by the result, max 10; Monster block is flavor text only, with no effect; Present in 8 sampled decks across 7 archetypes
- Observed: 8 of 8 sampled decks run it in the main deck, averaging 1.5 copies; Frequent partners are Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon and the Forbidden One set, each in 5-6 of 8 decks
- Inferred: Functions as a generic Level 7 material body with no effect to block; Low accessibility, because no searcher or combo route is recorded
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) available banlist token missing, so 3 copies is assumed deck sample is small (8 decks)
