Why it scores here
Marine Beast is a Level 5 Fusion Monster that appears in 24 decks across 13 distinct archetypes, primarily as a flexible splash option rather than a core strategic piece. With zero recorded combos and no card effect text provided, its scoring is heavily constrained by missing evidence on its actual effect; the observed deck evidence suggests it functions as a generic or situational inclusion for Water/Fish-themed strategies. The 1700 ATK/1600 DEF stats are moderate, and its broad archetype presence indicates some utility value, but the lack of documented synergies and combo involvement prevents a higher rating.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Requires two specific materials (Water Magician + Behegon), limiting reliable summoning outside decks with dedicated support (Inferred). Appears in 24 decks suggesting some practical routes exist, though mostly in niche or older archetypes (Observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | Zero combos recorded across the full combo dataset indicates no observed contribution to combo boards or chain sequences (Verified). The Fusion formula suggests it requires investment just to summon (Inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Fusion summoning inherently consumes two cards to field one body, creating a −1 card advantage swing at minimum; without card effect text, cannot assess any refuel or advantage generation (Inferred). Generic staple partners in decks do not suggest resource-positive synergy (Observed). |
| Effect & Interaction | 20 | Card effect text entirely missing from evidence—cannot assess disruption, negation, or removal capability; score reflects absence of evidence (Verified data gap). No guides or combos provide hints at effect strength (Observed). |
| Material Utility | 45 | As a Level 5 WATER Fish body, has moderate usefulness as material for synergies; 1700 ATK is neither exceptional nor negligible (Inferred). Presence across 13 diverse archetypes suggests broad if shallow compatibility (Observed). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 25 | Fusion Monsters are typically fixed once summoned and vulnerable to single-target removal or negation during the summoning attempt; no evidence of recursion, protection, or multi-spot utility (Inferred). Appears in control decks (67%) but partners are hand traps, not resilience engines (Observed). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Appears with 1.75 average copies per deck (mostly 1–2, some 3), suggesting moderate acceptance and mild brick risk; however, requires Water Magician and Behegon materials, which may themselves be suboptimal (Observed). Non-archetype-locked inclusion across 13 families indicates it does not severely gatekeep deck construction (Inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary: Utility (default role, no strong secondary). Intrinsic ≈ 36.7, Deck ≈ 37.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Appears as a viable splash option across 13 distinct archetypes, indicating broad if shallow compatibility
- Level 5 WATER Fish type provides synergy with Water-themed and Fish-type decks (Shark, Umi Control)
- Moderate stats (1700 ATK/1600 DEF) make it a usable body when successfully summoned
Weaknesses
- Requires two specific materials (Water Magician + Behegon), both older cards, raising summoning difficulty
- Zero combos recorded indicates minimal utility as a combo piece or board accelerant
- Fusion summoning creates −1 card advantage swing unless the effect generates substantial refuel
- Broad archetype presence (13 families) suggests diluted role rather than core strategy
- Card effect text missing entirely—cannot assess actual interaction or value beyond material body
Counters / choke points
- Single-target removal (Dark Hole, Raigeki, etc.) negates the Fusion investment
- Negation during summon attempt (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, similar hand traps) prevents Fusion entirely
- Effect negation (Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler) neutralizes any effect benefit—effect unknown
Best use
Generic splash option / material body. Decks: Shark, Umi Control, Fish-themed / Water-themed casual strategies.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 5 Fusion Monster with fusion recipe 'Water Magician' + 'Behegon'; Appears in 24 total decks across 13 distinct archetypes; WATER attribute, Fish race, 1700 ATK / 1600 DEF; Zero combos recorded in the full combo database; Not a top-ranked card across any format (top-card data: top-card status = false)
- Observed: Average 1.75 copies per deck; distribution: 14 decks with 1 copy, 2 decks with 2 copies, 8 decks with 3 copies; Predominantly appears in control decks (66.7%) and combo decks (25%); Top partners are all generic staples (Infinite Impermanence, Called by the Grave, Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Ready Fusion, Pot of Extravagance, Evenly Matched), not archetype-synergistic pieces; Deck inclusion span: October 2022 to June 2026 (4+ years of occasional play)
- Inferred: Water Magician and Behegon are both older/niche cards, likely raising summoning cost and brick risk for decks trying to include Marine Beast; Fusion summoning creates −1 card advantage baseline; without effect text, cannot assess whether the card generates net advantage; Stats (1700 ATK/1600 DEF) are serviceable as a material body but neither exceptional nor weak; Broad 13-archetype presence suggests this is a utility option or older card included for compatibility rather than raw power; No resilience mechanisms evident; survives primarily as a body or effect-negated material only
- Data gaps: Card effect text entirely missing—only fusion recipe provided; cannot assess resource economy, effect interaction, resilience, or actual strategic value No combos supplied—zero combo evidence prevents understanding of practical utility beyond text-only inference No guides supplied—no human context or strategic guidance available No usage statistics (StatisticsCard rows)—archetype inclusion percentages inferred from 24-deck sample only, not historical larger sample No banlist data—assumed unlimited (3 copies per format), but format-specific restrictions unknown
