Final Score: 40 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium

Why it scores here
Leodrake's Mane is a one-shot Spell that sets one face-up Naturia monster's ATK to 3000 and negates its effects until the End Phase. It converts a Naturia body into a larger attacker or blank body, but it adds no cards, no refuel, no opponent interaction, and no board on its own. The evidence shows it is run as a consistent 2-copy staple in 5 Naturia-leaning decks, and that is what earns the accessibility and deckbuilding points. High ATK on the result earns no points by itself, and the score stays low because no combo or starter data supports a stronger conversion role.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Run at 2 copies in all 5 sampled decks, with Naturia partners present, but no searcher or starter route is recorded in combos (observed; no searcher route in the text, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Text converts one Naturia monster into a 3000-ATK, effect-negated body, but combo data has zero recorded boards (verified text; combo role unobserved). |
| Resource Economy | 20 | A single-use Spell that gives no card advantage, no refuel and no search (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | Affects only the player's own face-up Naturia monster and does not touch opponent cards (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A Spell cannot be used as material; it only changes the ATK and effects of a Naturia monster already on the field (verified from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Targets a face-up Naturia monster and resolves only in that window; no recovery or multi-zone use is shown (verified from text; inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Capped at 2 copies in every sampled deck with no garnet or lock recorded, so the slot cost is mild (observed from deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility / no clear role default profile. Intrinsic ≈ 38.8, Deck ≈ 40.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Consistent 2-copy inclusion across 5 sampled decks
- Strong pairing with Naturia Mole Cricket (100% co-occurrence in the sample)
- Cheap to run with no garnet or lock cost
Weaknesses
- Zero recorded combo boards, so its conversion value is unproven
- No card advantage, search, or refuel
- Only useful when a face-up Naturia monster is already on the field
- Naturia-only targeting limits its use outside that archetype
Counters / choke points
- Opponent responses that negate or destroy the targeted Naturia monster before resolution would waste the card (inferred from text)
Best use
Utility ATK-boost and effect-negation on an existing Naturia monster. Decks: Naturia. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Targets one face-up Naturia monster you control, sets its ATK to 3000 and negates its effects until the End Phase; Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel
- Observed: Appears in 5 of 5 sampled decks at 2 copies each, all in the main deck; Naturia Mole Cricket co-occurs in 100% of the sampled decks
- Inferred: Its value depends on having a face-up Naturia monster already on the field; The ATK boost could matter in attacks but no combo data confirms it
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
