Meteor Black Comet Dragon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 56 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion, Utility
Why it scores here
Meteor Black Comet Dragon is a competent fusion end-board piece with strong multi-archetype integration (37 distinct homes) anchored by Red-Eyes (37.5% of sampled decks). It appears in high-power combos averaging 84.7 index, generating 2–3 end monsters with net card advantage, confirming reliable board generation. The 3500 ATK does not drive the score; instead, accessibility via Red-Eyes Fusion (83.8% co-deck rate) and stable 1.18-copy inclusion reflect its value. Significant weaknesses—no negation or hard interaction, vulnerability to standard removal, and unclear role contribution in recorded combos—prevent higher scores.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Red-Eyes Fusion (83.8% co-deck rate) provides dedicated Fusion Summon enablement; materials sourced from multiple Lv7 Red-Eyes and Lv6 Dragon options with 37-archetype adoption confirming practical access. (Observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 72 | Appears in 3 recorded combos averaging 84.7 power index, generating end boards of 2–3 monsters with 2–3 net card advantage from single starters, though exact contribution role is not tracked. (Observed) |
| Resource Economy | 55 | First effect trades a card for situational damage; second effect revives a Normal Monster without cost but requires prior GY presence, resulting in roughly breakeven resource flow. (Inferred) |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | Card text provides only situational damage output and Normal Monster recursion; no negation, removal, or hard interaction against opponent plays. (Verified) |
| Material Utility | 45 | Level 8 Dragon body is moderately useful as material, but Fusion status restricts typical synergy chains and subsequent summons, limiting material-line value. (Inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Card lacks built-in protection; GY revival is conditional on Normal Monster presence; vulnerable to banishing, impermanent, and removal without counterplay. (Verified) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 62 | Runs at stable 1.18 average copies with 82.2% single-copy inclusion; Red-Eyes Fusion (83.8%) enables summoning; 37-archetype presence indicates manageable deck cost despite material requirements. (Observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Boss/End-board primary role. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Exceptional deck integration across 37 archetypes with 99.8% co-deck rate with Red-Eyes Black Dragon
- Appears in high-power combos (84.7 average power index) generating efficient 2–3 end-board states
- Red-Eyes Fusion (83.8%) provides reliable Fusion Summon enablement across all homes
- Flexible material sourcing through diverse Lv7 Red-Eyes and Lv6 Dragon options
Weaknesses
- Complete lack of negation or hard interaction limits board disruption and going-second play
- No built-in protection; vulnerable to removal, bounce, and banishing effects
- Fusion Summon requirement adds material and spell cost, reducing turn efficiency
- Situational damage effect dependent on Red-Eyes ATK; Normal Monster recursion is niche in modern meta
- Combo contribution role unclear (missing role tracking) despite high board power indices
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (hand trap negating Fusion Summon)
- Called by the Grave (banishing Red-Eyes to prevent first effect)
- Effect Veiler (negating on-Fusion effect)
- Macro Cosmos / Dimensional Fissure (banishing Red-Eyes from GY)
Best use
End-board fusion boss monster with GY Normal Monster recovery. Decks: Red-Eyes (primary, 37.5% of sample), Primite (secondary, 9.8%), Bystial/Byssted (7.8%), Dark Magician (3.2%), Branded (2.2%).
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Fusion (Lv7 Red-Eyes + Lv6 Dragon) with damage effect on Fusion Summon and Normal Monster recursion when sent to GY; All 400 sampled decks run it in main deck (100% inclusion); Top partner Red-Eyes Black Dragon: 99.8% co-deck rate (near-universal in sample); Copy distribution: 82.2% run 1, 17.2% run 2, 0.5% run 3; Appears in all 3 recorded Red-Eyes combos
- Observed: Average 1.18 copies per deck indicates stable, limited-redundancy inclusion; Present in 37 distinct archetypes spanning Red-Eyes, Primite, Bystial, Dark Magician, Branded, and 32 others; High co-deck rates with Red-Eyes staples: Dark Dragoon (88.5%), Black Meteor Dragon (86%), Red-Eyes Fusion (83.8%); All 3 combos averaging 84.7 power index (very high), generating 2–3 end monsters with 2–3 card advantage; 81.8% of decks run in gameplay type 7 (TCG-aligned format)
- Inferred: Primary role is Boss/End-board due to high ATK, Fusion status, and confirmed presence in high-power end boards; Secondary recovery role via Normal Monster recursion, though limited in modern matchups; Material utility moderate but restricted by Fusion status and Level 8 specificity; Deckbuilding efficiency acceptable: 37-archetype adoption despite Fusion + material cost indicates inclusion below ceiling; Combo board generation is functional (84.7 avg power) despite missing role tracking data
- Data gaps: Combo role contribution untracked: appears in 3 combos but starter role/searched-for role/material role/payoff role/end-board appearances all = 0, limiting role determination Limited combo sample size: only 3 combos provided (statistical power limited) Banlist status absent—assumed unlimited (3 copies legal) based on evidence note Guide evidence minimal: 1 Vietnamese guide with partial snippet only No per-format Top Card ranking; top-card status = false Usage statistics available but covers only 2 archetypes (Harpie, Red-Eyes in one format)
