King Pyron — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 49 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
King Pyron is a Level 5 Fire Pyro that is a plain Normal monster while face-up on the field or in the Graveyard, and its only other function is a once-per-turn 1000 damage effect after a Normal Summon. The score comes mainly from its generic body and its presence in 9 recent decks across 5 archetypes, run as a single copy each time. The 1500 ATK earns nothing, and there is no combo, searcher, or interaction evidence to show it converts into board or card advantage. Because the card does not convert resources or interact with the opponent, the score stays near the middle of the scale.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Live as a generic Normal Summon body in hand with no searcher evidence; 9 decks run it at one copy each, but no starter or searched observations exist (observed plus inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Text shows only 1000 damage per turn once face-up; no combo boards record it, so conversion beyond damage is unsupported (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | No card advantage, draw, search, or recursion in the text; the damage effect does not replace cards (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in the text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Fire Level 5 Pyro that stays a Normal monster on the field and in the GY, so it is a clean generic material body; no material role observations (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Its effect works only while face-up on the field, so it is exposed to any removal or destruction; redundancy is limited to multiple copies in separate decks (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | One copy per deck across 9 decks, no garnet, lock, or restriction in the text, so it is cheap to run (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Generic Level 5 Fire Pyro body that counts as a Normal monster while face-up and in the Graveyard
- Repeatable 1000 damage per turn once Normal Summoned as an effect monster
- Observed in 9 recent decks across 5 archetypes at one copy each
- Strong recorded partner overlap with Dingirsu and Evocator Chevalier (88.9% of decks)
Weaknesses
- No combo, starter, or searcher evidence; conversion is text-only inference
- Damage effect does not generate cards or board presence
- Effect is only live while face-up, so it is exposed to removal
- No banlist or legal copy data, so the 3-copy assumption is unverified
Best use
Generic Normal-body material and a 1000-damage pinger in midrange lines. Decks: Goblin Biker, Chemicritter, Argostars, Vaylantz, A-to-Z. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Normal monster while face-up on field or in GY; once-per-turn 1000 damage after a Normal Summon as an effect monster; Deck count: 9 decks, 1 copy each, 5 archetypes
- Observed: Partner overlap: Dingirsu and Evocator Chevalier in 8 of 9 decks (88.9%); Gameplay split: 8 decks type 7, 1 deck type 6
- Inferred: Generic Normal-body material role from Level 5 Fire Pyro text; Utility primary role with Material body secondary, since no combo evidence confirms a clear primary role
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no legal copies data for any format no counter or ruling evidence supplied
