Final Score: 40 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium

- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Giant Kozaky is a Level 4 DARK Fiend with 2500 ATK, and that stat line earns no points on its own. Its text is a liability: it is destroyed unless a face-up "Kozaky" is on the field, and when it is destroyed its current controller takes 2500 damage. The evidence shows 44 decks running it at 3 copies, which confirms it is a consistent inclusion, but no combo data, guide text, or Kozaky-named partner supports a specific role, so the score stays near the middle-low range.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Run at 3 copies in 36 of 44 decks across 20 archetypes, but no searcher or starter data is supplied to show how it is reached (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | No combo boards are recorded and the text converts into no board beyond its own 2500-ATK body (verified text, no observed boards). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | The effect gives no draw, search, or refuel, and the damage clause costs its controller on destruction (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect appears in the text (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 4 DARK Fiend is a generic material fit, and the body stays a material even if it is blanked (inferred from text and level). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 25 | It is destroyed by its own clause whenever no face-up Kozaky is present, so it has little ability to survive the field (verified text, inferred impact). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | It runs at a flat 3 copies with no garnet or lock, but the self-destruction clause restricts where it can be played (verified text, observed copies). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility / no clear role (default) profile; 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Material body was not applied because the combo evidence is absent. Intrinsic ≈ 41, Deck ≈ 39, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-destruction restriction (-4). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 4 DARK Fiend body with 2500 ATK that can serve as a generic material
- Run at 3 copies in 36 of 44 recent decks across 20 archetypes, so it is a consistent inclusion
Weaknesses
- Destroyed unless a face-up "Kozaky" is on the field, and no Kozaky partner appears in the evidence
- When destroyed, its current controller takes 2500 damage, which makes the card a self-damage risk
- No combo, guide, or usage statistics support a concrete role
Counters / choke points
- Any destruction of the card hurts its own controller, so the opponent does not need to answer it directly (inferred from text)
Best use
Utility body / Level 4 material, only where a face-up Kozaky can be guaranteed. Decks: Greed, Toon, Performapal. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 4 DARK Fiend, 2500 ATK / 2400 DEF, no archetype listed; Destroyed if no face-up "Kozaky" is on the field; When destroyed while face-up, inflicts 2500 damage to its current controller; Run at 3 copies in 36 of 44 decks; 20 distinct archetypes
- Observed: Inclusion is concentrated in Greed (13 decks) and Toon (5 decks); No combo boards record the card
- Inferred: As a Level 4 DARK Fiend it is a generic material fit; The self-destruction clause restricts it to boards with a face-up Kozaky
- Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied No usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion evidence comes from the deck sample only No Kozaky-named partner or archetype appears in deck data, so the face-up Kozaky condition is unverified The damage clause reads as self-damage to the controller, which conflicts with the 44-deck inclusion; the card text should be checked against the source No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
