Lady of the Lake — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Lady of the Lake is a Level 1 Tuner whose value comes from her graveyard revive, which can Special Summon her from the graveyard by reducing a Level 5 Noble Knight monster by 1, and her Normal Summon effect, which revives a Noble Knight Normal monster from the graveyard. She converts into a Level adjustment and an extra body inside the Noble Knight engine, and 32 of 32 sampled decks run her at 1 copy, with partners such as Noble Knight Medraut and the Noble Arms cards at 84 to 94 percent co-occurrence. Her Synchro restriction (only Warrior Synchro Summons) and the banish-on-use clause cap her material value, and her 200 ATK and 1800 DEF earn no points. The score rests on deck evidence alone, since no combo boards were recorded, so the combo conversion and starter claims stay inferred.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Deck sample shows her in 32 of 32 decks across 8 archetypes, and her graveyard revive keeps her live after the first use (observed, inferred for the graveyard route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Text gives one extra body and a Level 5 adjustment for Synchro or Xyz lines, but there are zero combo examples to confirm it (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Her graveyard revive and Normal Summon revive give a body back without card advantage, so the net is roughly even (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap text, so it offers no opponent interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 25 | She can only be Synchro Material for a Warrior Synchro Summon and is banished when used, which sharply limits her material value (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | She works from hand, field, and graveyard across several turns, but graveyard hate or banish effects can stop the revive (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | She is a single-copy card in the sample with no garnet or lock beyond the Synchro restriction, so she is cheap to run (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter/Combo enabler + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reliably in the deck: 32 of 32 sampled decks run her, across 8 archetypes (observed).
- Cheap to run at 1 copy with no garnet cost (observed).
- Graveyard revive lets her return after she leaves the field, which gives repeated bodies (verified).
Weaknesses
- Zero recorded combo boards, so starter and conversion claims are unconfirmed (gap).
- Synchro restriction and banish-on-use clause limit material value (verified).
- No interaction, and 200 ATK earns nothing on its own (verified).
Counters / choke points
- Graveyard hate or banish effects can stop the graveyard revive (inferred).
Best use
Level 1 Tuner body and graveyard revive inside Noble Knight lines, with Level 5 Noble Knight adjustment. Decks: Noble Knights, Infernoble Knight, Fiendsmith, Silent Magician. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Cannot be Synchro Material except for a Warrior-Type Synchro Summon, and is banished when used for one (card text).; Normal Summon effect revives a Noble Knight Normal monster from the graveyard (card text).; Graveyard effect reduces a Level 5 Noble Knight monster by 1 to Special Summon itself (card text).; Has no negation, removal, or hand-trap text (card text).
- Observed: Appears in 32 of 32 sampled decks at 1 copy in 30 of them and 3 copies in 2 (deck evidence).; Co-occurs with Noble Knight Medraut and the Noble Arms cards at 84 to 94 percent (deck evidence).
- Inferred: Her graveyard revive keeps her live after the first use (inferred from the graveyard effect).; Her value as a body is roughly card-neutral because she returns herself (inferred from the summon effects).
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion and starter claims are text-only inference. No guides supplied. No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) available; archetype inclusion is from the deck sample only. No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited).
