This ancient water spirit haunts the glacial monoliths of Antarctica. It has the power to seep into the pores of any substance and chill it to the bone.
Water Spirit — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 58 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Water Spirit is a vanilla Level 1 Normal Tuner with no effect text, so it converts into value only as a Tuner body for Synchro summons and as a cheap single-slot card. It gets no credit for its 400 ATK, and the 400/400 deck inclusion is treated as evidence of reliable access and clean slotting, not of intrinsic power. The 0 combo appearances keep combo conversion and interaction near zero.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | A plain Level 1 Normal with no searcher text; it is reachable through generic draw and search in the sampled decks, but no combo starts or searches it (verified: card text; observed: 400/400 decks; inferred: draw-based access). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | Zero recorded boards and no effect text, so it converts only as a Synchro Tuner body (verified: card text; observed: 0 combos). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No effect and no recursion, so it is a roughly even one-for-one body that spends a card to play (verified: card text; inferred: no advantage source). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect text, so it provides no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach (verified: card text). |
| Material Utility | 65 | Level 1 Tuner of WATER/Aqua; the body is still a Tuner when blanked, but it only fits Level 1 Synchro combinations (verified: card stats; inferred: Level 1 fit limits the routes). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Nothing to negate, so it survives interaction, but it offers no redundancy or multi-zone effect beyond being a plain body (inferred: text-only). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | Single slot, no garnets or locks, and about 2 copies per deck with no restriction (observed: 1.9 avg copies, 400 decks). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal, single role, no blend. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean Level 1 Tuner body that converts into Synchro material
- Single-slot, unrestricted, splashable; copies are not a cost
- Appears in a wide spread of archetype homes (47 distinct archetypes in the sample)
Weaknesses
- No effect text, so no interaction, card advantage, or recursion
- No recorded combo appearances
- Level 1 limits the Synchro routes it can join
Counters / choke points
- No effect to negate, so opponent negation has no target; it is only a body
- Level-based or Tuner-targeting removal and floodgates that hit it as a body
Best use
Level 1 Tuner body for Synchro material and a cheap filler slot. Decks: Exodia, Greed, Flamvell, Black Luster Soldier. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Tuner Monster, Level 1, WATER attribute, Aqua race, ATK 400 / DEF 1200 (card); Description is flavor text only; no effect text (card); Present in 400/400 sampled decks, average 1.9 copies per deck (deck stat)
- Observed: Top partners co-occur in roughly 89–92% of decks, mostly Exodia/Greed templates (deck stat); 47 distinct archetypes in the sample (deck stat)
- Inferred: Level 1 Tuner fits only Level 1 Synchro combinations, so its material routes are narrow; Access is through generic draw and search rather than a dedicated searcher
- Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo conversion and starter/material shares are text-only inference No guides supplied No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No usage statistics (StatisticsCard); archetype inclusion inferred from the deck sample only Deck inclusion is 400/400 with ~90% partner co-occurrence; verify the sample is not a single template before trusting the deck-level figures No starter-count data, so DeckResilience is estimated from archetype spread only
