Marincess Sea Angel — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 70 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 66 · Deck: 69 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Extender, Material body
Why it scores here
Marincess Sea Angel scores as a core Marincess engine piece that tutors a Marincess Spell on Link Summon, appearing in 100% of Marincess decks at 1.93 copies average. The card's power flows from reliable archetype support—searchability, multi-copy redundancy, and participation in strong boards—rather than inherent effects. It provides modest resource advantage through tutoring and contributes functional Link material, but lacks interaction and relies entirely on Marincess enablers.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 75 | Link Summoned reliably from abundant Marincess Level-4 bodies; 100% inclusion in Marincess decks with multiple copies per deck (verified from deck evidence). |
| Combo & Conversion | 70 | Enables Marincess Spell plays that support combo development; present in 1-card combos generating 2 boss monsters and +5 net advantage, though specific role in combo sequence is undocumented (observed from combo example). |
| Resource Economy | 70 | Tutors 1 Marincess Spell on Link Summon, yielding modest net card advantage typical of archetype searchers (inferred from card effect and combo results). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No negation, removal, or opponent interaction provided directly; power depends entirely on Marincess Spells accessed (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 65 | Link-1 WATER Cyberse body serves as generic Link material; remains functional when blanked (inferred from material properties and archetype structure). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | No built-in protection; once-per-turn Link Summon is standard; resilience offset by searchability and 1.93-copy redundancy in Marincess (inferred from card text and deck patterns). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | Core Marincess piece requiring only common Level-4 bodies; 100% inclusion at typical 1-2 copies with zero brick risk; nearly free deck slot (verified from usage statistics and deck evidence). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 66, Deck ≈ 69, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Core Marincess engine redundancy (2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Core Marincess engine piece with nearly universal inclusion (100% of archetype decks)
- Highly efficient searcher needing only common Level-4 Marincess bodies as material
- Multi-copy friendly with 1-2 typical copies; searchability reduces brick risk
- Participates in strong board-generating combos with net +5 card advantage
Weaknesses
- Archetype-specific; weak outside Marincess despite appearing in 37 archetypes (likely hybrid/splash decks)
- No inherent disruption or negation; purely enables further plays
- Fragile 1000-ATK body with zero DEF and no protection effects
- Entirely dependent on Marincess support; dead card without Level-4 Marincess bodies
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Link Summon (e.g., Solemn Judgment, Solemn Strike) prevents tutor effect
- GY disruption or deck milling can limit Marincess Spell availability to tutor
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring targeting the Link Summon chain
Best use
Core searcher enabling Marincess Spell access and combo generation. Decks: Marincess (all variants). Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Link-1 requiring 1 Level-4 or lower Marincess monster as Link material; Effect: tutors 1 Marincess Spell from deck on Link Summon; Once-per-turn Link Summon restriction (standard wording); Included in 100% of Marincess decks at 1.93 copies average; All three Marincess variants tracked in usage statistics show 100% inclusion
- Observed: Appears in 1-card Marincess combos with power_index=100; Top partners are 98%+ Marincess archetype cards (Coral Anemone, Wave, Blue Tang, etc.); Distributed across 37 distinct archetypes, but 71.4% concentrated in Marincess variants
- Inferred: Tutor effect provides approximately +1 net card advantage within Marincess engine; Multi-copy redundancy (1.93 average) reduces inconsistency and brick risk; Link-1 body contributes to further Link Summons and Cyberse synergy; Archetype-specific power; limited standalone value in non-Marincess homes
- Data gaps: Combo role data unexpectedly shows 0% across all categories (starter, material, payoff, end-board) despite 100% appearance—unclear if artifact or true neutral role within the combo sequence No banlist token provided; assumed 3 copies unlimited across all formats No detail on which specific Marincess Spells are tutored or their priority/frequency Minimal combo evidence (1 example) compared to extensive deck evidence (400 decks)—combo coverage is incomplete
