Parrot Dragon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 40 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 43 · Deck: 38 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body
Why it scores here
Parrot Dragon is a Level 5 WIND Dragon Normal Monster with no effect text, serving as generic material for Synchro, Fusion, and Link decks. While it appears in 12 decks across 8 archetypes as a 1-of, zero combo evidence and generic partnerships (Monster Reborn, Polymerization, Mirror Force) indicate it functions as incidental deck-filler rather than a core synergistic piece. Its 2000 ATK does not contribute to power scoring; the score reflects only its utility as a clean, unrestricted Level 5 Dragon body and its low-cost deck slot.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 23 | Appears in 12 decks but as exactly 1 copy each, with no inherent search or archetype tutors; unsearchable vanilla in 8 unrelated archetypes indicates low live-draw probability (observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 8 | Zero combos supplied and zero appearances recorded; as a Normal Monster with no text, it cannot initiate or sustain combo chains (verified) |
| Resource Economy | 5 | Normal Monster with no GY effects, recursion, or card advantage generation; top partners are all generic staples (Monster Reborn, Polymerization) confirming net −1 with no return (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | Normal Monster with no effect text whatsoever; carries zero disruption, negation, or removal capability (verified) |
| Material Utility | 68 | Level 5 WIND Dragon attributes are generic and non-restrictive for Synchro, Fusion, and Link material; clean body that converts to material when needed without restriction (inferred from type and level) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 8 | Vanilla Normal Monster with no recovery, no multi-zone presence, no effect to survive negation; once removed or used as material, no comeback available (inferred from text) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 72 | No self-lock, no brick risk, no searchability requirement; runs as clean 1-of with zero deck cost or restriction, but only 1-copy inclusion suggests low deck trust (observed from deck data.copies per deck) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal. Intrinsic ≈ 43, Deck ≈ 38, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean generic Level 5 WIND Dragon material for Synchro, Fusion, and Link decks
- No deck-building restrictions, locks, or brick risk; splashable as a 1-of
- Appears across 8 distinct archetypes, confirming broad baseline accessibility
Weaknesses
- Normal Monster with no effect text; cannot initiate, sustain, or recover combos
- Only 1 copy per deck across all 12 samples indicates low priority and weak deck synergy
- Zero combo presence despite appearing in 12 decks; never observed as material or payoff in recorded boards
- Generic staple partners (Monster Reborn, Polymerization) confirm incidental deck-filler role, not synergistic inclusion
Best use
Generic Level 5 Dragon material as low-priority filler body. Decks: Dark Magician (3 appearances, 25%), Code Talker (2 appearances, 16.7%), Exodia (2 appearances, 16.7%). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Parrot Dragon is a Level 5 WIND Dragon Normal Monster with 2000 ATK / 1300 DEF and no effect text; It appears in 12 decks across 8 distinct archetypes as exactly 1 copy per deck; Zero combo presence: combo data.total combos = 0, appearances = 0; Not a top card in any format: top-card data.top-card status = false
- Observed: Most common deck partners are generic staples (Monster Reborn 83.3%, Polymerization 75%, Eternal Soul 75%, Mirror Force 75%), confirming generic deck-building utility rather than archetype synergy; Highest concentration in Dark Magician decks (25%, 3/12), followed by Code Talker and Exodia (16.7% each), with 5 additional scattered archetypes; Consistent 1-copy-only distribution across all 12 decks indicates low-priority filler inclusion
- Inferred: As a Level 5 WIND Dragon Normal Monster with no effect, it is a clean generic material for Synchro, Fusion, and Link decks; Appearance across 8 unrelated archetypes with no archetype-specific synergy partners indicates a deck-filler role rather than a core synergistic piece; Zero combo evidence combined with 1-copy-only distribution confirms the card is not actively built around, searched, or used as material in recorded boards
- Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference (critical gap) No guides supplied — intended role or niche use cannot be confirmed No banlist token — assumed unlimited (3 copies) No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion percentages inferred from 12-deck sample only Card text is minimal (flavor only); no mechanical effect to evaluate Zero combo presence is a critical gap preventing confirmation of how the card is actually used in practice
