Ooguchi — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 20 ± 8 · Confidence: Low
- Intrinsic: 20 · Deck: — · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body
Why it scores here
Ooguchi is a 1-star Aqua body whose direct-attack effect has no synergy with modern Yu-Gi-Oh! strategies. The card appears in zero recorded decks and combos, confirming it is inaccessible in competitive play. Its only value is as a marginal Level-1 material, but it contributes no card advantage, board disruption, or combo acceleration. The direct-attack effect is irrelevant to winning Yu-Gi-Oh! games, making this a garnet in any standard deck.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 15 | Card appears in 0 decks with 0 synergistic partners and no archetype support, confirming it is a pure garnet (observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 5 | Zero combo appearances and text contains no starter, search, or recursion mechanic to build plays (verified) |
| Resource Economy | 8 | Playing this card is a net −1 with no card advantage generation, GY refuel, or resource return (inferred) |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | Direct-attack effect provides zero negation, removal, or disruption of opponent's board (verified) |
| Material Utility | 25 | As Level-1 non-Tuner Aqua, usable for generic Synchro/Link material but awkward for standard summoning routes (inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 5 | Fragile 250 DEF body with no recursion, recovery, or multi-zone flexibility; dies to any removal (verified) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 10 | Heavy garnet; only playable in hypothetical direct-damage casual decks with no evidence of practical support (inferred) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal. Intrinsic ≈ 20, Deck ≈ —, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: Intrinsic (no decks/combos context; provisional)
Strengths
- Direct-attack effect bypasses defensive positioning (situational)
- Can be used as Level-1 Aqua material for Synchro and Link summoning
Weaknesses
- Extremely weak 300 ATK / 250 DEF body with no survivability
- Zero deck and combo evidence; no real-world competitive usage
- Direct-attack effect is irrelevant to modern Yu-Gi-Oh! win conditions
- No resource generation, card advantage, or combo enablement
- Occupies deck slots without meaningful contribution
Counters / choke points
- Any removal effect instantly defeats the card
- Board-focused modern meta invalidates direct-damage strategies
Best use
Not recommended for any competitive or semi-competitive deck. Suggested copies: 0.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: This monster may attack your opponent's Life Points directly (from card description); Card identity: Level 1 WATER Aqua, 300 ATK / 250 DEF (from card properties); Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks (from formats list)
- Observed: 0 decks in deck sample (from deck data.total decks); 0 combos in combo sample (from combo data.total combos); View count 2430 (not a power metric per rubric guardrail 1)
- Inferred: Direct-attack effect is niche and strategically irrelevant in modern Yu-Gi-Oh! (from metagame context + card text); Zero accessibility due to complete lack of synergy with any archetype (from zero decks + no partners); Can function as Level-1 Aqua material for Synchro and Link summoning (from card type and rules); Material utility is awkward due to non-Tuner status limiting Synchro/Xyz pairing (from card properties)
- Data gaps: no decks supplied — deck accessibility and synergy unconfirmed no combos supplied — combo conversion and material usage unconfirmed no guides supplied — no human context on intended role no banlist token — assumed unlimited 3 copies no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — no archetype inclusion tracking no top-card ranking — card not tracked in competitive meta
