Why it scores here
King Dragun is a Fusion Monster whose value is a one-sided shield for Dragon monsters from opponent card effects, plus a once-per-turn hand Special Summon of a Dragon. The card reliably turns its Fusion cost into a 2400-ATK body and a body-protection effect in Dragon lines, but that is a narrow, Dragon-only benefit with no card advantage and no negation. The 2400 ATK and the high deck count (400 of 400 sampled decks, 71 archetypes) earned no points: the deck count reflects how the sample was built, and the top partners are generic staples, so neither was counted as power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Requires a Fusion summon with the two materials named in the text, so it is not live from hand alone, but it is run in every sampled deck with a Dragon/Fusion focus (observed, verified text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | No combo evidence exists; the only conversion is the text's one-per-turn hand Dragon summon, which adds a body but no board progression (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | No searches, refuel or card advantage in the text; the hand Special Summon is card-neutral (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | Stops opponent card effects from targeting Dragon monsters, which is protection rather than negation or removal and covers only Dragons (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 30 | No material role evidence and Level 7 Dark Dragon is not a clean generic material; the body's material use is not supported by the evidence (inferred, data gap). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The shield survives while the card is on the field and guards against targeted effects, but not non-targeting or Dragon-only-restricted interaction (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | One Extra Deck slot and typically 1 copy (usage stats show typical copies 1), but the Fusion materials are a real requirement (observed, verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 48, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Protects Dragon monsters from opponent card effects while it is on the field (verified text)
- Once-per-turn hand Special Summon of a Dragon adds a body without card cost (verified text)
- Appears across 71 archetypes in the sample, mostly as a single copy in Dragon-adjacent lists (observed)
Weaknesses
- Protection covers only Dragon monsters (verified text)
- Fusion summon needs its named materials, so it is dead in hand without them (verified text)
- No combo evidence and no measured starter or material role (data gap)
Counters / choke points
- Non-targeting card effects, which the Dragon-only shield does not stop (inferred from text)
- Opponent plays that do not target Dragons, such as non-targeting removal or non-Dragon boards (inferred from text)
Best use
Extender. Decks: Blue-Eyes lists (observed), Thunder Dragon lists (observed), Black Luster Soldier lists (observed, the largest archetype in the sample). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Protects Dragon monsters from opponent card effects (card text); Once-per-turn hand Special Summon of a Dragon monster (card text); Fusion Monster, DARK Dragon, Level 7, ATK 2400 / DEF 1100 (card data)
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks, typically 1 copy (deck data, usage statistics); Spans 71 archetypes; Dragon-adjacent lists include Blue-Eyes and Thunder Dragon (deck data)
- Inferred: Body value is limited to Dragon-based lines (text reading); Non-targeting interaction bypasses the shield (text reading)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion and material role are text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) deck data appears built from decks containing the card, so 400/400 is not market share top partners are generic staples and were not counted as synergy usage statistics covers only 5 archetypes legal copies is empty for all formats no dated metagame sample supplied
