Medium Piece Golem — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo Enabler · Secondary: Extender, Material body
Why it scores here
Medium Piece Golem is a conditional extender that generates board presence when Big Piece Golem is active, summoning Small Piece Golem from the Deck. The card provides decent resource economy and flexible material value as a Level 4 body, but its effectiveness is entirely dependent on setup—without Big Piece on field, it becomes a vanilla 1600-ATK body. No combo evidence is available, so interaction conversion is inferred from text and deck synergies rather than observed play patterns.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Consistently appears in all 9 decks paired with Big Piece Golem at 100% co-deck rate; requires setup but that setup is universal in its homes (verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Generates one Special Summoned Small Piece Golem from Deck per activation, extending board incrementally but not explosively—no combo examples to confirm conversion chains (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 70 | Summons from Deck (thinning) and generates +1 body when condition met, roughly breaking even to +1 on resource ratio (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | Card has no direct disruption, negation, or removal; it is purely a generative effect with zero opponent interaction (verified). |
| Material Utility | 70 | Level 4 EARTH Rock usable as Synchro/Tuner material or generic Level 4 fodder even when negated; clean material value for Piece Golem synergy lines (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Entirely dependent on Big Piece Golem remaining active; if removed, effect is lost and card becomes vanilla; single-zone play limits flexibility (observed). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Runs at consistent 2–3 copies in its home archetypes with no garnet risk; no deckbuilding restrictions noted (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Combo Enabler (primary). Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Consistent pairing with Big Piece Golem and Small Piece Golem across all 9 recorded decks (100% synergy).
- Level 4 body provides flexible material value for Synchro and Fusion lines.
- Generates free Special Summon under condition, providing board extension.
- Runs at 2–3 copies without garnet risk; well-integrated into Piece Golem ecosystems.
Weaknesses
- Entirely dependent on Big Piece Golem control; without it, effect is dead and card is vanilla 1600-ATK.
- Small Piece Golem summoned with negated effect, reducing its utility as a combo piece.
- No inherent disruption or interaction—purely generative.
- Limited splashability despite appearing in multiple archetypes; core value is within Piece Golem synergy only.
Counters / choke points
- Removal or negation of Big Piece Golem disables the effect entirely.
- Summon negation (e.g., Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring) prevents Small Piece Golem special summon.
- Graveyard banishment effects interact with Piece Golem deck recycling lines.
Best use
Combo Enabler / Extender. Decks: Piece Golem, Resonator, Greed.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card requires Big Piece Golem to be active (from card text).; Triggers on Summon and Special Summons Small Piece Golem from Deck (from card text).; Small Piece Golem effect negated while on field (from card text).; Present in 9 decks with 100% Big Piece Golem pairing (from deck_evidence top_partners).; Runs at 2–3 copies per deck (from deck copies_per_deck distribution).; Assumed unlimited (no banlist data provided).
- Observed: Appears in Greed (33.3% of decks) and Resonator (44.4% combined) archetypes.; Average 2.11 copies per deck indicates core inclusion in homes.; 77–100% co-deck appearance with Clock/Dark/Flare Resonators and Piece Golem partners.; All 9 decks run it in main deck only (0 side deck appearances).
- Inferred: Level 4 EARTH Rock body useful as Synchro/Tuner material in Resonator lines despite negation.; Generates incremental board extension (+1 body) but not explosive combo chains.; Piece Golem synergy (Medium + Big + Small = 3 pieces) enables tuner/material value.; Resonator partner card abundances (77.8% overlap) suggest Synchro-centric combo context.
- Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference; cannot verify actual board power or starter/payoff roles. No guides supplied — no human context on deck strategy or role clarity. No banlist data — assumed 3 copies (unlimited); actual legal_copies not specified. No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % and typical copies inferred from deck sample only (9 decks is small).
