Metaphys Armed Dragon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 50 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body
Why it scores here
This card is a 2800-ATK Level 7 Wyrm/Armed Dragon normal monster with no inherent effect, making it fundamentally a body and material piece rather than a converter or interaction tool. It appears across 15 distinct archetypes at an average 1.65 copies per deck, suggesting it fills a flexible generic-dragon role rather than driving specific synergy. The lack of combo evidence (0 recorded appearances) and guide mentions means the card succeeds only when the archetype around it has pre-existing support; the card itself generates no advantage or disruption on its own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Appears in 23 decks spanning 15 archetypes with 61% at 1-copy, indicating moderate accessibility as a filler/flex include rather than a must-run (observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | Zero combo appearances recorded; as a Normal Monster with no effect text, it converts value only through external archetype setup or material utility, not through standalone synergy (verified) |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Costs a draw or an archetype searcher with no return; sits passively as a field body and generates zero card advantage (inferred) |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | Normal Monster with flavor-text-only description provides no disruption, negation, removal, or interaction capability (verified) |
| Material Utility | 75 | Level 7 Wyrm/Armed Dragon tunable for Synchro/Fusion/XYZ lines; remains a 2800-ATK body even when effect-blanked; synergizes with dragon-type partners like Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Rabidragon (observed, inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Can be converted to material to escape board wipes; vulnerable as a naked field body; moderately flexible across hand/field/graveyard zones as material (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Splashable across 15 distinct archetypes at flexible 1–3 copies with no self-lock or garnet ceiling; a generic dragon body with low deckbuilding cost (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body (primary role only). Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 50, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reliable Level 7 Wyrm body even when blanked by negation
- Splashable across 15 distinct archetypes with flexible copy counts
- Synergizes with dragon-type partners shown in decks (Blue-Eyes, Rabidragon, etc.)
- No self-lock or garnet risk; low deckbuilding cost
Weaknesses
- Normal Monster with no effect: generates zero card advantage, disruption, or interaction
- Not a hand trap, searcher, or extender; passive field presence only
- Vulnerable to removal as a naked body on field
- Zero recorded combo appearances; does not drive or enable established lines
Counters / choke points
- Any removal spell or monster effect that targets ATK bodies
- Floodgates that prevent normal summon or special summon
- Effects that blank on-field monsters
Best use
Filler body, Synchro/Fusion material, level/attribute provider. Decks: Armed Dragon, Blue-Eyes, Gem-Knights, Generic dragon/Wyrm strategies.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster with no inherent effect (flavor text only); 2800 ATK / 1000 DEF Level 7 Wyrm / Armed Dragon; Appears in 23 decks across 15 distinct archetypes; Zero combo appearances in recorded boards; No usage statistics available; no banlist restrictions (assumed unlimited)
- Observed: Most common in Armed Dragon archetype (17.4% of deck sample, 4 decks); Frequent co-appearance with dragon-type bodies: Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Rabidragon, Gogiga Gagagigo; Average 1.65 copies per deck; 61% of decks run exactly 1 copy, suggesting flexible/filler role; Wide spread across 15 archetypes indicates generic utility rather than archetype-core synergy; Appears only in main deck (23 decks), never in sideboard in sample
- Inferred: As a Level 7 Wyrm, likely tunable for Synchro summons and Wyrm-support lines (archetype-dependent); Used primarily as material or filler body rather than core synergy engine (evidenced by wide spread and lack of combo support); Generic dragon-body applicability across dragon-focused and Wyrm-focused archetypes; Material value high even when effect-negated, given tunable level and type/attribute profile; Accessibility moderate; requires draw or archetype searcher, not inherently live in hand
- Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo conversion scored entirely from text (Normal Monster inertness) No guides supplied — synergy context inferred only from deck spread and top partners No banlist token — assumed unlimited copies in all formats No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % and typical copies inferred from 23-deck sample only Card description is flavor text only, providing no mechanical effect detail
