Lavalval Dragun — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 50 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Lavalval Dragun's power is its once-per-turn Laval search: it adds one Laval monster from the Deck and then sends one Laval from hand to the Graveyard, so it converts a Synchro summon into a Laval-specific search with a built-in Graveyard fuel. The deck sample confirms the role is live (28 of 41 decks run the Laval archetype, and 40 of 41 decks share the Lavalval Dragon partner), but that is frequency, not strength, and it earns no points. The 2500 ATK and the Level 6 Synchro body earned nothing on their own, and with zero recorded combos the conversion score rests on text-only inference.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Synchro summon needs 1 Tuner plus FIRE non-Tuner material, and Laval decks are the usual home (28 of 41 decks, 68.3%) (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | No recorded combo boards exist for this card (0 appearances), so conversion is text-only: a search plus a Graveyard send, with no board-building text in the description (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The effect adds one card from Deck to hand and sends one card from hand to the Graveyard, so hand size is net zero and the Graveyard gains one fuel card (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | The description has no negation, removal or hand-trap text, so the card offers no opponent interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 30 | Level 6 FIRE Dragon Synchro is verified, but the description gives no material-use text, so its value as material is inferred only (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The effect is once per turn and depends on a Laval monster being in the Deck, with no redundancy shown in the evidence (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | One copy in most decks (36 of 41 at 1 copy, average 1.17), with no garnet or locking text in the description (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Searcher/Tutor profile, single role (no secondary blend). Intrinsic ≈ 50, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Once-per-turn search of any Laval monster from the Deck, so the effect has a broad target pool within its archetype
- The mandatory Graveyard send is built into the same effect and feeds Graveyard-cost effects (inferred from text)
- Common in the sample: 40 of 41 decks share a board with Lavalval Dragon, and 97.6% run Laval Lakeside Lady (observed)
Weaknesses
- Locked to the Laval archetype: the search only reaches Laval monsters, and 28 of 41 decks are Laval (verified)
- No recorded combo evidence, so the card's real conversion is unverified (verified: 0 combos)
- No interaction at all in its text (verified)
- Once per turn, and the hand-to-Graveyard send is mandatory (verified)
Counters / choke points
- The evidence pack lists no counters; generic answers to searchers and to Synchro summons are inference, not evidenced here
Best use
Searcher/Tutor: on-field Laval search that also feeds the Graveyard. Decks: Laval. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect text: once per turn, add 1 Laval monster from Deck to hand, then send 1 Laval monster from hand to the Graveyard; Synchro, Level 6, FIRE Dragon; requires 1 Tuner plus 1 or more non-Tuner FIRE monsters; Copies per deck: average 1.17, max 3; 36 of 41 decks run 1 copy; Zero recorded combo appearances and zero guide mentions
- Observed: Laval archetype in 28 of 41 decks (68.3%); Gameplay type 7 in 38 of 41 decks (92.7%); Lavalval Dragon and Laval Lakeside Lady each co-occur in 40 of 41 decks (97.6%)
- Inferred: The search and Graveyard send give a net-zero hand change and a +1 Graveyard fuel gain; Material value and resilience are judged from text alone, since no combo or material data exists; Deck synergy is moderate: frequency is high, but combo centrality is unevidenced
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion and material value are text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion is inferred from the 41-deck sample only activation location (field or hand) is not stated in the description no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
