Performapal Trump Girl — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 60 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59.5 · Deck: 61 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Performapal Trump Girl earns its score as an in-archetype Fusion enabler: its monster-zone effect converts field presence into a Fusion Summon (most likely Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon, confirmed by 92.9% co-occurrence across 255 decks) within Performapal and Odd-Eyes Pendulum strategies. Its Pendulum Scale 4 contributes to scale setup, and Pendulum mechanics reclaim it from the Extra Deck after it is used as material, giving it moderate staying power. No combo boards are recorded in the database, so combo conversion depth is text-inference only, which caps the score and raises the uncertainty band. Its 200 ATK and DEF had no bearing on this score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Archetype membership makes it searchable by Performapal Skullcrobat Joker (92.5% co-occurrence in 255 decks), and Pendulum mechanics recycle it from the Extra Deck after use — multiple practical access routes confirmed (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 57 | Card text enables a Fusion Summon using itself plus field monsters; 92.9% co-occurrence with Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon strongly implies it bridges into a board-disrupting negate boss, but no combo boards are recorded so conversion depth remains text-inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Typically a 2-for-1 exchange (Trump Girl plus another field monster into a Fusion boss); the Pendulum Zone destruction trigger adds a temporary Dragon Fusion recovery that partially offsets the cost (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | Card text contains no disruption or negation effects of its own; all interaction value is indirect, delivered by the Fusion Monster it produces (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | Level 2 DARK Spellcaster satisfies Performapal/Odd-Eyes Fusion material requirements, and Pendulum mechanics return it to the Extra Deck after being used as material, sustaining repeated availability (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Pendulum recursion from the Extra Deck provides moderate durability across turns; the card is narrow to Pendulum/Fusion strategies, and the Pendulum Zone effect is conditional with a forced End Phase destruction limiting long-term value (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | 241 of 255 decks run exactly 1 copy, no archetype lock or garnet risk, and the Pendulum framework handles redundancy via scale placement — near-free-roll slot cost (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 1.0 Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 59.5, Deck ≈ 61, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Enables Fusion Summons from the monster zone within Pendulum strategies, providing reliable access to Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon and similar Fusion bosses
- Pendulum Scale 4 contributes to scale setup in Performapal and Odd-Eyes decks
- Pendulum mechanics allow recovery from the Extra Deck after use as Fusion material, sustaining repeated plays
- Low deck footprint — almost universally run at 1 copy with no restrictions or garnet risk
Weaknesses
- Requires other monsters on the field to activate its Fusion effect — does not function in isolation
- Pendulum Zone destruction effect is conditional and the revived Fusion is destroyed at End Phase, limiting long-term value
- Extremely archetype-specific: meaningful only in Performapal and Odd-Eyes Pendulum builds
- No disruption or interaction effects on its own; all interruption value depends entirely on the Fusion Monster it enables
Counters / choke points
- Effect negation (e.g. Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring) on the Fusion Summon stops the play entirely
- Clearing the field before the Fusion activation denies all materials
- Banishing the GY or preventing Special Summons neutralizes the Pendulum Zone destruction trigger
Best use
In-archetype Fusion enabler and Scale 4 Pendulum piece. Decks: Performapal, Odd-Eyes, Pendulum Magician. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Monster-zone effect: Once per turn Fusion Summon using field monsters including this card as material; Pendulum Zone effect: If destroyed in Pendulum Zone, Special Summon a Dragon-Type Fusion from GY until End Phase; Level 2, Pendulum Scale 4, DARK Attribute, Spellcaster race, Performapal archetype; Appears in 255 decks; 241 of 255 run exactly 1 copy
- Observed: 92.9% co-occurrence with Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon across 255 decks — confirms Fusion target role; 92.5% co-occurrence with Performapal Skullcrobat Joker — searchability route validated by deck data; 93.3% co-occurrence with Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon — integral to the standard Pendulum engine; Present in 16 distinct archetypes, concentrated in Performapal (40%) and Odd-Eyes (39.2%)
- Inferred: Fusion target is most likely Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon based on partner co-occurrence and shared archetype overlap; Searchable by Performapal Skullcrobat Joker given Performapal archetype membership and Level 2 status; Pendulum Zone destruction effect provides grind-game utility when scales are cycled by opponent removal
- Data gaps: No combo boards recorded — combo conversion depth is text-inference only No guides supplied — human role confirmation absent No banlist data provided — assumed unlimited (3 copies) No StatisticsCard usage data — archetype inclusion rates inferred from 255-deck sample only
