You can only use each effect of "My Friend Purrely" once per turn.
My Friend Purrely — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51 · Deck: 53.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
My Friend Purrely converts its Purrely support into value through two effects: paying 500 LP to take a random one of three revealed Purrely cards, and recovering up to 3 Quick-Play Spells from the GY when an opponent destroys a face-up Purrely Xyz. Its 0 ATK/DEF and Continuous Spell body earn nothing, and it has no material or interaction value. Its near-universal inclusion (400/400 decks, 3 copies) shows it is consistently played, not that it is intrinsically strong, so that consistency was not counted as power; the thin combo evidence (6 boards, no roles tagged) keeps combo conversion moderate.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Playable from hand as a Continuous Spell and present in 400/400 decks at 3 copies with 100% inclusion in its three main archetypes, but the search costs 500 LP and yields only a random one-of-three (observed deck counts; verified text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Appears in all 6 recorded boards with average power index 73.2, but combo role is empty and it is never tagged as starter or searched, so the conversion into board is inferred from its search target (observed; inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 68 | Effect 2 returns up to 3 Quick-Play Spells from the GY to hand when an opponent destroys a Purrely Xyz, a conditional refuel, while the search is a single random +1 for 500 LP (verified text; inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | It has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect; the only response is a recovery triggered by the opponent's removal, which is not interaction (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 0 | It is a Spell and cannot be used as material or to provide a Level, Attribute or name (verified card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Two once-per-turn effects give some multi-turn value and 3 copies add redundancy, but a single face-up Spell in the Spell/Trap zone is exposed to generic Spell removal (inferred from frame; verified text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Occupies 3 slots in nearly every Purrely deck with no garnet or lock, but the restriction is hard-locked to the Purrely name and the LP cost is a play-time tax (observed deck counts; verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher + 0.3 Recovery. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 53.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype-locked restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Searches a Purrely card for 500 LP with no card disadvantage
- Recovers up to 3 Quick-Play Spells when an opponent removes a Purrely Xyz
- Runs 3 copies in nearly every Purrely deck, so it is reliably accessible
Weaknesses
- Purrely-locked: no value outside the archetype
- 500 LP cost per search, with the opponent choosing the card
- Continuous Spell body can be removed by generic Spell removal (inferred)
Counters / choke points
- Generic Spell/backrow removal on the Continuous Spell (inferred)
- LP pressure that makes the 500 LP cost fatal (inferred)
Best use
Searcher/Tutor with recovery support for Purrely Xyz lines. Decks: Purrely (958), Purrely (1364), Purrely (1166), Yummy (2179). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Continuous Spell; Purrely-locked effect text with 500 LP cost and the random one-of-three search; Recovery of up to 3 Quick-Play Spells on opponent destroying a face-up Purrely Xyz; each effect once per turn; Cannot be material (Spell card type)
- Observed: In 400/400 recent decks, 3 copies average 2.77, 100% inclusion in three StatisticsCard archetypes; Appears in 6/6 recorded combos with average power index 73.2; Partners are the Purrely theme cards at 89 to 100% co-occurrence
- Inferred: Search role is a real searcher route (random one-of-three); Recovery effect converts opponent removal into card advantage; Vulnerable to generic Spell removal because it is a face-up Continuous Spell
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Combo role tags are all zero, so starter/searched/payoff roles cannot be confirmed from combos Only 1 guide mention, and it is a co-card list rather than a description of the card's role No legal copies data by format
