Why it scores here
Opera the Melodious Diva is a Level 4 Fairy enabler for Melodious combo decks, valued primarily as Fusion Material with a protection rider effect. The card's core strength lies in efficient material utility and synergy with Melodious Fusion summons, where it appears in all tracked combos with maximum power indices and generates boards with net card advantage of 6. The 2300 ATK does not earn points; instead, value comes from the GY-triggered protection effect that shields Melodious monsters after fusion sacrifice, combined with 98.4% co-appearance with core Melodious cards. Limited direct opponent interaction and modest resilience outside its archetype prevent a higher score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Consistent main-deck inclusion across 62 decks with 98.4% co-appearance to Ostinato and Schuberta shows strong, practical accessibility routes within Melodious, though dependency on archetype-specific searchers limits true genericity (verified from deck data co-appearance rates). |
| Combo & Conversion | 75 | Appears in all 11 tracked combos with 100% power index, building boards averaging 4 end monsters plus net card advantage of 6, though only 9.1% starter rate indicates it contributes via material and protection rather than board initiation (observed from combo data examples). |
| Resource Economy | 72 | Generates advantage indirectly through Melodious Fusion recursion and GY-based synergy rather than direct search or draw; the protection effect preserves board resources when used as Fusion Material, approximating modest positive resource swing (inferred from card text and combo evidence). |
| Effect & Interaction | 50 | Protection effect is passive and defensive, covering Melodious monsters against destruction but providing no active disruption of opponent threats, hard negation, or removal capability (verified from card description). |
| Material Utility | 80 | Excellent fit as Level 4 LIGHT Fairy for Melodious Fusion requirements; clean generic material that converts even when blanked, designed explicitly to trigger on Fusion Material usage with no locks or restrictions (verified from card text and archetype mechanics). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Summoning sickness prevents immediate combat impact; protection effect activates only when sent to GY as Fusion Material rather than persisting across turns, limiting independent multi-turn presence and appearing in end hand in only 9.1% of combos (observed from combo data role distribution). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 78 | Runs 1.08 copies on average, mostly singles, with minimal garnet risk in Melodious due to abundant Fusion Material slots; redundancy across similar Melodious Divas provides excellent slot efficiency and near-free inclusion (verified from deck data copies per deck distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7·Extender + 0.3·Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 67, Deck ≈ 69, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Excellent material utility as Level 4 Fairy for Melodious Fusion summons
- Consistent 98.4% co-appearance with Melodious core cards ensures reliable access
- Appears in all combos with maximum power indices, indicating perfect archetype fit
- Protection effect synergizes with Melodious board strategies for GY-triggered preservation
- Near-zero garnet/brick risk with clean slot efficiency in archetype builds
Weaknesses
- Summoning sickness prevents direct combat contribution on the turn it is summoned
- Highly archetype-specific; limited portability outside Melodious despite 14 distinct archetype appearances
- Protection effect is passive and defensive, offering no active opponent disruption or negation
- Only 9.1% starter rate indicates limited ability to initiate combos independently
- Dependent on Fusion Material routes for primary value; standalone presence is modest
Counters / choke points
- Negation of Fusion Summon negates the protection effect trigger
- Cards that prevent Fusion Material usage or GY access block the main value route
- Mass removal resolving before the protection effect applies ignores the benefit
Best use
Fusion Material enabler with board protection rider. Decks: Melodious.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Opera the Melodious Diva is Level 4 LIGHT Fairy with 2300 ATK / 1000 DEF (card description); Cannot attack the turn it is Normal Summoned or flipped face-up (card text); Triggers protection effect when sent to Graveyard as Fusion Material (card text); Appears in 62 decks with 98.4% co-appearance to Ostinato and Schuberta (deck data); Appears in 11 combos with 100% power index (combo data); Runs 1.08 copies per deck on average, mostly singles (deck data distribution)
- Observed: 48.4% of deck appearances are Melodious archetype; 14 distinct archetypes total (deck data archetypes); 9.1% starter rate, 9.1% end hand rate, 0% material rate in tracked combos (combo data role distribution); Combo examples show net card advantage of 6 with 4 end monsters (combo data examples); 72.6% of decks using this card play gameplay type 7 (Melodious focus)
- Inferred: Primary role is Combo enabler/Extender designed for Melodious Fusion Material routes (card text + combo evidence alignment); Material utility reflects clean Level 4 Fairy fit for archetype Fusion requirements (archetype mechanics); Protection effect is passive and defensive with no active opponent interaction (card text mechanics); Summoning sickness and GY-trigger dependency limit independent resilience (card text constraints)
- Data gaps: No guides supplied — human context on role and matchups unavailable No banlist token — assumed legal in all formats at 3 copies unlimited No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only, not broader historical data No combo material tracking — designed as Fusion Material but appears as 0% material role in tracked combos, suggesting either combos route differently or tracking is incomplete
