If this card in your possession is destroyed by your opponent's card (by battle or card effect) and sent to your Graveyard: Shuffle this card into the Deck. While you have no monsters in your Graveyard, this card gains 800 ATK and DEF. After damage calculation, when this card battles an opponent's monster: You can target 1 card your opponent controls; destroy that target.
Madolche Puddingcess — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 69 ± 5 · Confidence: High
- Intrinsic: 69 · Deck: 69 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Removal, Utility
Why it scores here
Madolche Puddingcess scores as a solid material body that enables high-power combo boards when slotted into Madolche and Vernusylph lists. Its primary value lies in Level 5 XYZ synthesis and graveyard protection rather than board initiation—combo evidence shows 78.2 average power index in the 9 boards it appears in, primarily as material (44.4%), but it does not start lines or drive deck strategy. The battle-triggered removal and mill-protection shuffle offer incremental utility and resilience, but low ATK/DEF baseline and lack of tutoring prevent higher scores.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 75 | Consistently included at 100% in core Madolche archetypes and 55.6% in Vernusylph, but lacks searchable routes (0% searched-for role in combo evidence) and requires natural draw. (observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 65 | Appears in 9 combos with 78.2 average power index but as material in 44.4% of appearances, never as starter or initiator, contributing to existing high-power boards rather than building them independently. (observed) |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Provides mill protection via shuffle effect if destroyed and synergizes with Madolche's graveyard-empty ATK boost condition, but generates no inherent card advantage or tutoring. (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 60 | Battle-triggered removal targets any opponent's card but only activates after damage calculation, making it timing-restricted and situational compared to hard interaction. (verified) |
| Material Utility | 75 | Level 5 Fairy body with 1000 ATK/DEF (1800 when graveyard is empty) functions as clean XYZ material for Madolche Rank 5 plays in high-power combo boards. (observed) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 70 | Shuffle-to-deck effect provides recursive protection against destruction and enables multi-turn utility, though low baseline stats leave it vulnerable to non-destruction removal. (verified) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Splashes efficiently across Madolche (49.2%), Vernusylph (38.8%), and 17 total archetypes with 99% running 1 copy, creating minimal brick risk and deck lock. (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 69, Deck ≈ 69, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Solid Level 5 XYZ material for Madolche Rank 5 synthesis
- Mill protection and recursive defense via shuffle effect
- Splashes cleanly across multiple Fairy-centric archetypes (17 distinct homes)
- High-power combo integration: appears in 78.2-average-index boards
- Minimal brick risk: 99% of decks run exactly 1 copy
Weaknesses
- Not a deck starter or searcher: 0% appearance as starter, 0% as searched
- Low baseline ATK/DEF (1000/1000) without conditional boost—vulnerable to early removal
- Battle-triggered removal only activates after damage calculation, limiting flexibility
- No inherent card advantage or tutoring—generates no resources on its own
- Shuffle effect doesn't advance board state mid-combo; purely defensive
Counters / choke points
- Non-destruction removal (e.g., return-to-hand, banish effects) bypasses shuffle protection
- Graveyard disruption (e.g., Macro Cosmos, D.D. Crow) negates recursion and ATK boost condition
- Cards that prevent battle (e.g., Swordsoul Grandmaster Chixiao, battle negation traps)
- Early hand disruption (e.g., Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler) can eliminate it before it functions
Best use
Level 5 XYZ material for Rank 5 boss summoning and graveyard-protection synergy. Decks: Madolche (core, 49.2%), Vernusylph/Vernalizer Fairy (secondary, 38.8%). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Madolche archetype card with full effect text: shuffle protection on destruction, conditional ATK/DEF boost when graveyard is empty, battle-triggered removal; Appears in 9 combo boards with 78.2 average power index (combo data.average power index when present = 78.2); Material utility confirmed: 44.4% appearance as XYZ material in combo boards (combo data.material role = 44.4%); Consistent inclusion in Madolche decks across multiple archetype variants (100% in usage statistics rows for core Madolche)
- Observed: 100% inclusion rate in Madolche archetype decks and 55.6% in Vernusylph/Vernalizer Fairy (usage statistics); Running standard 1 copy in 99% of decks with only 1 deck out of 400 running 2 copies (copies per deck.distribution); Appears across 17 distinct archetypes beyond Madolche (deck data.distinct archetypes = 17); Zero appearance as deck starter or searched card in 9 combos (combo data.starter role = 0%, searched-for role = 0%); Top 3 combo boards featuring it achieve power index 100, 100, 98 (combo data.examples)
- Inferred: Shuffle protection enables graveyard-empty ATK boost strategy central to Madolche resource recovery gameplan; Battle removal timing constraint (after damage calculation) makes it situational versus hard negation like Negate; Level 5 Fairy body is tailored for Rank 5 XYZ synthesis in Madolche, particularly into Queen Tiaramisu lines; Lack of searchability (0% searched-for role in combo evidence) implies it relies on hand/deck access rather than tutoring chains; Mill protection and graveyard synergy suggest enabler role in Madolche's recovery-and-swarm gameplan
