Winged Kuriboh — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52.5 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Winged Kuriboh is a generic Level 1 Light Fairy whose only printed effect is a battle-damage negation after it is destroyed and sent to the GY. Its score comes from being a cheap, unrestricted body that reliably goes into 299 sampled decks, mostly Kuriboh-themed, and converts into Level 1 material for Synchro and Xyz summons. The high deck count confirms accessibility and cheap deckbuilding, not raw strength. The effect is weak and no combo evidence exists, so combo conversion and resource economy stay low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Runs in 299 of 299 sampled decks across 68 archetypes and gameplays, but the card is mostly a filler body and has no observed starter or searched role (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | No recorded combo boards; the only effect is battle-damage negation, so it builds nothing on its own (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 15 | No draw, search, or GY-banish refuel in the text; it is a 1-for-0 body with no card advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No opponent interaction; the effect only prevents battle damage to its controller (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Generic Level 1 non-Tuner Light Fairy that fits Level 1 Synchro and Xyz material slots (inferred from text and stats). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Its effect needs it to be destroyed on the field, so it is a narrow, single-turn benefit with no multi-zone or multi-turn value (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Unrestricted, usually 1–3 copies per deck (avg 1.59), no garnet or lock restriction, and easy to fit into any slot (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 52.5, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap, unrestricted body that fits almost any deck
- Level 1 Light Fairy usable as material for Level 1 Synchro and Xyz summons
- Widely included in Kuriboh decks and partners with Kuriboh-themed staples
Weaknesses
- Battle-damage negation is narrow and only works after the card is destroyed on the field
- No draw, search, interaction, or resource value
- No combo evidence showing it converts into a board
Counters / choke points
- Monsters that negate or remove on-field effects do not stop its material use, but they do shut off the battle-damage negation
Best use
Level 1 material body and cheap defensive filler. Decks: Kuriboh, Heroic, Crystal Beast, Resonator. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect: if destroyed on the field and sent to the GY, no battle damage this turn; Level 1 Light Fairy, 300 ATK / 200 DEF, unrestricted in the listed formats; Appears in 299 of the sampled decks with an average of 1.59 copies per deck
- Observed: Runs in 68 distinct archetypes, led by Kuriboh at 22.1%; Partners most often with The Flute of Summoning Kuriboh (55.5%) and Kuriboh (47.2%); Guide mentions it as a Tech Card context piece, not a core card
- Inferred: Material body role for Level 1 Synchro and Xyz summons; Low combo value inferred from the effect text alone, since no combo boards exist
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
