Rabid Horseman

Rabid Horseman — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 34 ± 6 · Confidence: Low

• Intrinsic: 43 · Deck: 41 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Material body

Why it scores here

Rabid Horseman is a generic Fusion monster with no card effect supplied in the evidence, severely limiting evaluation to raw material utility. While it appears in 41 decks across 21 archetypes, the zero combo appearances and complete absence of effect text prevent it from converting resources into winning value. The card functions purely as a Level-6 Beast-Warrior body for Fusion-dependent strategies, but without its actual effect mechanics, true power assessment is impossible. The deck count reflects accessibility within fusion shells rather than intrinsic strength.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: Primary role: Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 43, Deck ≈ 41, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Missing card effect text (-8). Final formula: 0.40·Intrinsic + 0.60·Deck, with −8 modifier for missing effect text

Strengths

• Broad deck accessibility across 21 archetypes suggests multiple strategic contexts
• Level-6 Beast-Warrior body usable for Xyz/Link material in various Fusion shells
• Fusion material requirements align with existing fusion support infrastructure

Weaknesses

• Zero combo appearances indicate minimal or no synergy with combo-driven strategies
• No card effect text means no disruption, interaction, or value generation beyond raw stats
• 2000 ATK is mediocre for a Level-6 Fusion requiring two specific materials
• Requires both specific materials to summon; inherent deck-building constraint

Counters / choke points

• Generic monster removal (Raigeki, Dark Hole, Torrential Tribute)
• Hand traps negating Fusion Summons (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring)
• Effect negation (Skill Drain, Prohibition) if card has an effect

Best use

Level-6 Fusion body for Xyz and Link material. Decks: Blue-Eyes, D/D/D, Ninja, Fusion-heavy archetypes. Suggested copies: 1.

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Card identity: Fusion Monster, Level 6, EARTH attribute, Beast-Warrior race, 2000 ATK / 1700 DEF; Fusion materials required: Battle Ox + Mystic Horseman; Appears in 41 decks across 21 distinct archetypes; main deck only, averaging 1.37 copies per deck
• Observed: Runs in Blue-Eyes (19.5%), D/D/D (9.8%), Ninja (9.8%), Heroic (7.3%), Floowandereeze (7.3%) and 16 other archetypes; Top co-deck partners: Bickuribox (43.9%), Empress Judge (39%), Metal Dragon (39%), Flame Swordsman (36.6%); Zero combo appearances across entire combo dataset; not a combo starter, material, or payoff piece
• Inferred: Accessible via Fusion Summoning infrastructure in those 21 archetypes; broad but shallow adoption; Functions primarily as Fusion body and material rather than combo engine or effect-driven card; Level-6 Beast-Warrior body provides material utility for Xyz Summons (Rank 6) and Link strategies; Broad archetype spread suggests it is a filler Fusion rather than a core synergy play
• Data gaps: CRITICAL: No card effect text supplied—only materials listed; complete effect mechanics unknown, violating assessment completeness Zero combo appearances; combo conversion and synergy cannot be verified through gameplay data Zero guides mention this card; no strategic context from community analysis or deck guides No usage statistics (StatisticsCard rows); archetype inclusion percentages derived from deck sample only Banlist status not provided; assumed unlimited (3 copies legal) per format Effect interaction cannot be evaluated without knowing the card's actual mechanics
