The Fabled Nozoochee — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Extender, Material body
Why it scores here
The Fabled Nozoochee reliably converts a Fabled discard into two bodies: it Special Summons itself from hand and then Special Summons a Level 2 or lower Fabled from hand, which in the Fabled engine also triggers the discarded monster's own effect. That makes it a solid in-archetype combo extender that generates positive card flow (worked combos show net card advantage of +2 to +4), but it never assembles a full disruptive board on its own — combo appearances average a modest power index of 56 with zero starter, material, payoff or end-board role tags. Its 1200 ATK and LIGHT Beast Level-2 body earn nothing directly on the rubric; its value is purely as bodies and as a discard outlet, and it is heavily Fabled-locked, requiring a Fabled monster in hand to be live at all.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 58 | Hand-Special-Summons itself only after discarding 1 Fabled monster, so it needs a second in-archetype card to be live; it is a common engine piece in the Fabled sample (48.5% of 400 decks) but combos never tag it as starter or searched (verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Provides itself plus one Level 2-or-lower Fabled from hand, but present combos only reach power_index 56 average with endMonsters 1-3 and 0 boss-heavy boards (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Observed combos show netCardAdvantage of +2 to +4, since discarding a Fabled generally triggers that monster's own effect while Nozoochee summons two bodies (observed). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | Card text contains no negation, removal, or disruption of any kind — it is pure body generation (verified). |
| Material Utility | 62 | It is a clean Level 2 LIGHT Beast body that still functions as Synchro/Xyz/Link material even if its effect is negated, and its second summon adds another material (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | A summoned Nozoochee remains a usable body after a negate, but the discard cost and the need for a Fabled in hand make it dead in many opening spots (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 52 | Requires Fabled-fodder to function and reads as an archetype-locked slot; despite appearing across the sample it is essentially a Fabled/Fiendsmith-engine card rather than a generic free-roll (inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Combo enabler + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Special Summons itself from hand, turning a Fabled discard into immediate board presence
- Second effect summons an additional Level 2 or lower Fabled from hand for extra material
- Discarding Fabled monsters tends to trigger their own effects, so the cost is often value-positive
- Clean Level 2 LIGHT Beast body that still converts as material when effect-negated
Weaknesses
- Requires a Fabled monster in hand to discard, so it is not independently live
- No interaction, negation, or removal whatsoever
- Heavily archetype-locked, offering little to decks outside Fabled/Fiendsmith
- Observed combos top out at a modest board power index with no boss-heaviness
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring on the Special Summon trigger
- Called by the Grave / D.D. Crow removing the discarded Fabled target
- Effect negation (Infinite Impermanence) leaves only a 1200-ATK body
- Hand disruption leaving no Fabled fodder to discard
Best use
In-archetype combo enabler / extender that converts a Fabled discard into extra bodies. Decks: Fabled, Fiendsmith (Fabled engine).
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: discard 1 Fabled monster to Special Summon it from hand, then Special Summon 1 Level 2 or lower Fabled from hand; Level 2 LIGHT Beast, 1200 ATK / 800 DEF, Fabled archetype; No interaction, negation, or removal in the card text
- Observed: Appears in 400 decks, 48.5% Fabled and 34% Fiendsmith, avg 1.68 copies; Appears in 8 recorded combos (100%) with avg power_index 56 and avg_starter_count_when_present 1.62; Combos show netCardAdvantage of +2 to +4 with endMonsters 1-3; as_starter, as_material, as_payoff and in_end_board are all 0
- Inferred: Discarding a Fabled usually triggers that monster's grave/hand effect, making the cost value-positive; GenericUtility is capped low (~45) despite 24 distinct archetypes because the text is Fabled-locked; Deck synergy is high within the Fabled engine but low outside it
- Data gaps: no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only combo evidence has 0 role tags (starter/material/payoff/end-board), so the card's exact combo position is inferred rather than measured
