Lesser Dragon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 46 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51.7 · Deck: 42.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Lesser Dragon is a vanilla Level 4 WIND Dragon with no effect, so it converts into nothing on its own and has no interaction. Its value is as a generic Level 4 Dragon body: it can be used as material and cannot be blanked, which keeps the material role intact. High ATK would not help here, and the card earns no points for it. The 4 sampled decks and their partner overlap are thin evidence that it is a usable body, not a strong one, so the score sits in the mid-40s.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Drawable as a body in 4 sampled decks at 1.5 average copies, but no searcher or second card reaches it and it has no combo appearances (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 8 | Zero recorded combo boards and no effect text, so it builds nothing from a starting position (verified: no effect text; observed: 0 combos). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | A no-effect Normal monster trades evenly for the material it provides, with no draw, search, or refuel (verified: no effect text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect, so it provides no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach (verified: no effect text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Level 4 Dragon body that is clean generic material and stays usable when its effect is irrelevant, since it has none to negate (verified: level/race/attribute; inferred: material fit across Dragon-type summons). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Cannot be negated because it has no effect, but it has no value to protect and no recovery route (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Normal monster with no garnet or lock cost, and it occupies a single slot at 1 to 3 copies (observed: copies per deck). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal (primary only, no secondary role). Intrinsic ≈ 51.7, Deck ≈ 42.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 4 Dragon body that works as generic material
- Cannot be negated because it has no effect
- Cheap to run with no garnet or lock cost
Weaknesses
- No effect, so no combo conversion or interaction
- Dead in hand unless a summon needs a Level 4 Dragon body
- Only 4 sampled decks, with no combo or usage-statistics support
Best use
Material body / Normal. Decks: Odd-Eyes, Performapal. Suggested copies: 1.
