Ulevo

Ulevo — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 17 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 20 · Deck: 20 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Utility

Why it scores here

Ulevo converts almost nothing for what it demands: it cannot be Special Summoned and must be Tribute Summoned by offering 3 Winged Beast-Type monsters, so it is a near-garnet that only becomes live after a large field investment (verified text). Its only payoff is a conditional Match win on a direct attack that reduces the opponent to 0 LP, which is neither disruption nor board-building, and no combo evidence shows it as a starter, material, or payoff piece (0 appearances). Its 3000 ATK and Level 10 body earn it nothing here — those stats do not offset the unsearchable, self-locking, low-interaction nature of the card. The single observed deck (Vanquish Soul, 3 copies) confirms accessibility is real but too thin to lift the score.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 20, Deck ≈ 20, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Strengths

• Alternative win condition: a successful direct attack that reduces the opponent to 0 LP wins the Match (verified text).
• Large Level 10 / 3000 ATK EARTH Winged Beast body once it does land (verified).
• No archetype lock, so the text reads generically across Winged Beast builds (verified).

Weaknesses

• Cannot be Special Summoned and must be Tribute Summoned with 3 Winged Beast-Type monsters (verified text).
• No search route, no as_starter/as_searched evidence — effectively an unsearchable garnet (observed).
• Provides no disruption, negation, or removal; it does not interact with the opponent (verified text).
• The alt-win only matters when the opponent is at 3000 LP or less and must connect with a direct attack (inferred).
• Zero combo appearances and a single observed deck give no practical line to support it (observed).

Counters / choke points

• Any removal or trap on the Tribute-Summoned body, which loses the entire 3-tribute investment.
• Negating or preventing the Tribute Summon itself.
• Keeping Life Points above 3000 or blocking direct attacks.
• Hand traps and interaction that stop the pieces needed to assemble 3 Winged Beast tributes.

Best use

Alt-win finisher / Boss. Decks: Vanquish Soul (observed single sample), Dedicated Winged Beast builds. Suggested copies: 1.

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Cannot be Special Summoned; must be Tribute Summoned by offering 3 Winged Beast-Type monsters (card text).; If it attacks directly and reduces the opponent's LP to 0, the controller wins the Match (card text).; Level 10 EARTH Winged Beast, 3000 ATK / 2500 DEF, no archetype, formats TCG/OCG (card data).
• Observed: 1 recent deck runs it, in Vanquish Soul, at 3 copies in the main deck.; 0 combo appearances: 0% as_starter, 0% as_searched, 0% as_material, 0% as_payoff.; Top partners are Vanquish Soul cards plus generic staples (Ash Blossom, Maxx "C", Dimension Shifter, Ghost Belle).
• Inferred: Summoning it consumes 3 on-field Winged Beast monsters for a single body, a heavy net resource loss.; Without Special Summon access there is no recursion or material route to reach the body cheaply.; The alt-win is only live when the opponent is at 3000 LP or less before a successful direct attack.
• 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 only a single deck sample, so deck synergy/resilience estimates are thin
