Kurama — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 48 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 47 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body
Why it scores here
Kurama is a vanilla Level 3 WIND Winged Beast Normal Monster (800/800) whose card text is flavour only, so it has no effect to convert into value. Its score comes entirely from being a generic Level 3 body that can be used as material, and from being cheap to run. Its 800 ATK earns nothing. It appears in 9 sampled decks across 5 archetypes, which confirms it is played, but there are no recorded combo boards, so its material role is inferred rather than observed.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | No searcher or starter evidence and no combo boards; it is drawn only by chance, and it is live in 9 of 9 sampled decks (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | Text-only: a bare body with no effect that builds nothing on its own, and 0 combo appearances (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 10 | No draw, search, or refuel text, and no advantage data (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect text, so no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | Level 3 WIND Winged Beast is a generic material fit across many Level and Rank summons, but no combo data shows it as material (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Nothing to negate, so it survives interaction, but it is dead in most hands with no recovery route (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | A 1–3 copy Normal monster with no garnet or lock restriction, cheap to run in any deck (verified from deck copy distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal weight profile (single primary role, no secondary blend). Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 47, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Generic Level 3 WIND Winged Beast body that fits many summon routes
- No garnet or lock cost; cheap to run at 1–3 copies
- Played in 9 of 9 sampled decks across 5 archetypes
Weaknesses
- No effect text, so no interaction, card advantage, or board presence
- Not searchable, so it is rarely live when needed
- No recorded combo boards showing a real starter or material role
Counters / choke points
- Any generic monster-removal or board-breaker effect, since it has no protection
- Nothing relevant needs to be answered: it does not threaten anything on its own
Best use
Level 3 generic material body in Level or Rank summons. Decks: Shark, Book Of, Dark Magician, Hole, Blackwings.
