Zarigun — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51 · Deck: 49 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Zarigun is a vanilla Level 2 WATER Aqua Normal Monster with no effect text in the evidence, so it earns its points only as a clean level-2 body and as a cheap, redundant 3-copy slot. It is present in all 8 sampled decks across Spright, Umi Control and Frog, but no recorded combo boards exist, so there is no observed evidence that it converts into board or advantage. The 600 ATK / 700 DEF stats earn nothing, and the score stays near the middle because the card's value is entirely as a generic body.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Three copies in each of 8 sampled decks give frequent opening-hand access, but there is no starter role or searched-for role evidence (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | No combo boards are recorded and the card has no effect text, so it does not build anything on its own (verified from frame and text; combo absence observed). |
| Resource Economy | 5 | No draw, search, refuel or recursion text is present, so it generates no card advantage (verified from frame type). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | A Normal Monster with no effect provides no negation, removal or hand-trap reach (verified from frame type). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 2 WATER Aqua body is a clean generic material and is unaffected by effect negation because it has no effect to negate (inferred from stats and frame; material role is 0 in the evidence). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Having no effect means nothing to negate, but the card offers no recovery, redundancy or multi-zone value (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Normal Monster at 3 copies is a cheap, non-garnet, easily splashable slot with no lock or restriction (verified from frame; copies observed in 8/8 decks). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal primary weights only; no secondary role blended. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean Level 2 WATER Aqua body for generic material use (inferred)
- Present at 3 copies in all 8 sampled decks, so it is a consistent, cheap slot (observed)
- Immune to effect negation because it has no effect (inferred)
Weaknesses
- No effect, so no interaction, card advantage or board conversion (verified)
- No combo evidence, so no observed starter, searcher or payoff role (observed)
- ATK 600 / DEF 700 is weak on its own and contributes nothing to the score (verified)
Counters / choke points
- Board removal or monster destruction, which is the only realistic way to interact with a vanilla body (inferred)
Best use
Level 2 generic material body in Aqua/Water lines (inferred from stats and observed deck partners). Decks: Spright, Umi Control, Frog. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster, WATER, Aqua, Level 2, ATK 600, DEF 700, no effect text; 8 of 8 sampled decks run 3 copies in main deck
- Observed: Present in 3 archetypes (Spright, Umi Control, Frog); Co-occurs at 100% with 15 listed partners, including Spright Starter and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring; No recorded combo boards contain the card
- Inferred: Level 2 generic body is useful as a material or level provider; Effect negation has no target, so the body is effectively un-blankable; Deck inclusion is consistent rather than indicating intrinsic power
- 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 no material role or starter role combo counts to confirm material role
