Larvas — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 44 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 45 · Deck: 44 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Larvas is a vanilla Level 3 Earth Beast Normal Monster with no effect text, so its value is as a plain body. It earns points for being a clean, unrestricted material and for costing almost nothing to run, and it converts into little beyond that. Its 800 ATK / 1000 DEF earns nothing on its own. Three sample decks across three archetypes confirm that it is played, but no recorded boards support any starter, searcher or payoff role.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | No searcher or starter evidence; it is only present in 3 sampled decks at one copy each, so it is reachable as a hand body but not a reliable route (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | Text is a flavour description with no effect, and combos_evidence has 0 recorded boards, so it builds nothing on its own (verified, text; observed, 0 combos). |
| Resource Economy | 5 | No draw, search, banish or recursion text, and no card-advantage evidence (verified, text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect text, so no negation, removal or hand-trap function (verified, text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | A Level 3 Earth Beast body with no effect to block, so it converts as material even when effects are negated; level and attribute fit are inferred, not tabled (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Nothing to negate, but it has no redundancy or recovery route and offers only one body's worth of value (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 90 | A Normal Monster with no garnet or lock restriction, usable as a single copy with no slot cost beyond one body (verified, text; observed, 1 copy per deck). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal, single primary role, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 45, Deck ≈ 44, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean generic material body with no effect that can be negated
- No deckbuilding cost: normal monster, no garnet or lock restriction
- Appears in 3 sampled decks across 3 archetypes, so it is practically playable
Weaknesses
- No effect text, so no starter, searcher, interaction or card advantage
- No combo evidence: 0 recorded boards
- Low ATK/DEF is irrelevant to power and gives it no board presence
Best use
Material body for Level 3 summons. Decks: Performapal, Odd-Eyes, Kuriboh. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster, EARTH, Beast, Level 3, 800 ATK / 1000 DEF, no effect text; Present in 3 of 3 sampled decks at 1 copy each; Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks
- Observed: 0 recorded combo appearances; 3 distinct archetypes in the deck sample
- Inferred: Converts as a material body even when blanked (no effect to negate); Level 3 fits Level-based summon material usage
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
