"Takuhee" + "Temple of Skulls"
Skullbird — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 16 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 20 · Deck: 19 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
Skullbird is a vanilla Fusion Monster whose entire text is '"Takuhee" + "Temple of Skulls"' — it has no effect, no protection and no card advantage, so its only convertible asset is a Level 6 WIND Winged Beast body. Reaching that body demands two specific named materials, which the evidence never shows being searchable, making it a two-card garnet investment for a 1900-ATK vanilla. Its 37 deck appearances span 12 archetypes but the partner list (Punished Eagle, Mavelus, Crimson Sunbird, Pot of Extravagance) reads as Extra Deck filler rather than a real gameplay role, and combo data shows 0 appearances across recorded boards. High ATK or format legality earned no points here; the score reflects near-zero reliable conversion.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 10 | Requires both the specifically named 'Takuhee' and 'Temple of Skulls', with no searcher or practical route shown in the evidence (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 8 | Has no effect text and shows 0 combo appearances, so it builds nothing from any realistic start (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 6 | Provides no search, no draw, no GY refuel and no advantage — it is a pure material investment (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 3 | Card text contains no effect at all, so it brings zero disruption or removal (verified). |
| Material Utility | 22 | A Level 6 WIND Winged Beast body can theoretically feed generic Fusion or Winged Beast plays, but only after assembling two named materials (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 10 | Vanilla 1900/1700 with no protection, no floating effect and no in-grave use, so any single removal answers it (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 5 | Running it means committing two specific named garnet materials for a body with no payoff (inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal primary weights. Intrinsic ≈ 20, Deck ≈ 19, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Heavy garnet requirement (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 6 WIND Winged Beast body that can serve as Fusion material for generic Winged Beast or WIND summons
- Legal in TCG, OCG, Master Duel and Duel Links
- Simple, unambiguous text with no timing or ruling complexity
Weaknesses
- No effect whatsoever — no removal, no protection, no recursion
- Demands two specifically named materials, both acting as garnets
- Not shown to be searchable by any evidence route
- 1900 ATK is low for a Level 6 Fusion and easily outclassed
- Zero presence in recorded combo boards
Counters / choke points
- Any single removal or effect negation after it lands
- Hand traps that interrupt the Takuhee/Temple of Skulls assembly
- Graveyard-disruption and banish effects since it has no floating
- Non-targeting removal that ignores a vanilla body
Best use
Extra Deck filler / vanilla Fusion body. Decks: Floowandereeze, Umi Control, Unchained. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text is exactly '"Takuhee"' + '"Temple of Skulls"', a Fusion Monster with no effect (verified).; Level 6 WIND Winged Beast, 1900 ATK / 1700 DEF (verified).; Legal in TCG, OCG, Master Duel and Duel Links with no banlist token in evidence (verified).
- Observed: 37 decks run it (all main deck slots per evidence), average 1.41 copies (observed).; 12 distinct archetypes listed, largest shares Floowandereeze 21.6% and Fiendsmith 16.2% (observed).; 0 appearances across recorded combo boards (observed).; Top partners include vanilla Fusion monsters Punished Eagle, Mavelus and Crimson Sunbird plus Pot of Extravagance (observed).
- Inferred: Neither 'Takuhee' nor 'Temple of Skulls' is shown as searchable, so assembling it costs two specific cards (inferred).; The partner pattern of vanilla Fusions plus Pot of Extravagance suggests the 37 appearances are Extra Deck filler rather than a real gameplay role (inferred).; With no effect text, it contributes nothing on the board beyond its body (inferred).
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only deck evidence likely contains Extra Deck filler noise not separable from genuine play
