Kozaky — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 56 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Kozaky is a Level 1 DARK Fiend Normal Monster with no effect, so its value is as a body: a Level 1 material that cannot be negated or blanked. Its score comes from that material role and from cheap deck construction, since it costs no garnet and is used in 15 of 15 sampled decks at 1 to 3 copies. The 400 ATK/DEF earns nothing, and neither does its 9-archetype spread: the spread is reported as frequency, which confirms it is run, not that it is strong. With no combo evidence, combo conversion and effect interaction are scored at the floor.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Normal Monster with no searcher route in the evidence; it is a hand body in 15 sampled decks (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | No combo boards recorded (0 appearances), so it converts nothing on its own by the text (verified: type Normal, no effect). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | No draw, search, or recursion; it is a card-for-body trade with no advantage (verified from type, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect, so no negation, removal, or hand trap (verified from type). |
| Material Utility | 70 | Level 1 DARK Fiend with no effect to negate, so it converts as material even when blanked (verified from level/type; the Level 1 summon routes are inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Cannot be negated because it has no effect, but it has no recursion or multi-zone use (verified from type; inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Cheap, no garnet or lock, and run at 1 to 3 copies across 15 decks (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Material body / Normal, no secondary role. Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cannot be negated or blanked, since it has no effect
- Clean Level 1 DARK Fiend material
- Cheap to run, with no garnet cost
- Run across 9 archetypes in the sample (frequency only)
Weaknesses
- No effect, so no card advantage, interaction, or combo conversion
- No combo evidence recorded
- Power depends on a Level 1 material route that the evidence does not table
Best use
Level 1 material body / filler. Decks: Dark World, Exodia, Greed, Resonator. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster, DARK, Fiend, Level 1, 400/400, no effect (from type and frame); Recorded in 15 of 15 sampled decks at 1.8 average copies
- Observed: Top partners co-occur in 40-60% of decks (causal caution applies); No combo boards recorded (0 appearances)
- Inferred: Material body role from being a Normal Level 1 monster; Level 1 summon routes are not tabled in the evidence
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for archetype inclusion description field is flavor text only; no effect text supplied, but type Normal implies no effect no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
