Laval Phlogis — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 51 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 50 · Deck: 52 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Laval Phlogis is a Level 4 Pyro FIRE body whose only effect is a graveyard trigger that gives all Laval monsters you control +300 ATK. It creates no board, draws or searches nothing, and has no negation or removal, so combo conversion, resource economy and interaction score low. Its 1700 ATK earns nothing by itself; the points come from being a clean Laval-archetype material body that is run at 3 copies in all 7 sampled decks. The score is provisional because no combo or guide evidence was supplied.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Present in 7 of 7 sampled decks at 3 copies each, but no searcher or starter appearances are recorded in combos_evidence, so reliability of getting it is inferred from deck inclusion only (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | The text is a graveyard ATK buff with no board-creating or summoning effect, and there are no combo boards to confirm otherwise (verified). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | No draw, search, or recursion is printed, and the card returns no advantage; any value comes only from the ATK buff (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect is printed on the card (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A generic Level 4 body that fits Laval material lines; the graveyard trigger still applies if it is used as material, but that routing is inferred from text, not observed in combos (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Its graveyard effect is not an on-field effect, so it is not stopped by a field-based negate, but it is a low-impact, single-zone effect (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Runs at 3 copies with no garnet or lock behaviour, and no brick risk is recorded in the sample (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body / Normal + 0.3 Utility (no clear role). Intrinsic ≈ 50, Deck ≈ 52, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean Level 4 Pyro body that fits Laval material lines
- Included at 3 copies in every sampled Laval deck
- Costs no slot flexibility and carries no garnet or lock risk
Weaknesses
- No searching, drawing, or board-creating effect
- Graveyard buff only helps other Laval monsters already on board
- Adds no interaction against the opponent
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring-style graveyard or on-field effect negation would stop its trigger, but this is a general category and is not evidenced in the sample
