Dragonic Warrior

Dragonic Warrior — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 60 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 60 · Meta: provisional

• Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Material body

Why it scores here

Dragonic Warrior converts one hand card (discarded as cost) into one Cấp độ 4 or lower Dragon from hand or Deck, so its value is 1 single negated body rather than 1 board engine. The 93-deck sample (92.5% main-deck, average 2.67 copies, 25 archetypes) confirms it is live and easy to run, which lifts accessibility and deckbuilding, but no combo boards were supplied, so combo conversion rests on text alone. Its high ATK and Cấp độ 4 body are not scored; the 1500 ATK earns nothing by itself, and the self-negation of the summoned monster removes most of its upside.

Axis scores

| Axis | Score | Evidence |

|-------|-------|----------|

| Accessibility | 70 | Live in hand or Deck với 1 discard cost, and present in 93 of the sampled decks across 25 archetypes, but it needs 1 second Cấp độ 4 or lower Dragon to function (verified text, observed deck spread). |

| Combo & Conversion | 45 | One card in, one body out (inferred from text); there are no combo boards or examples to show 1 larger board, so this is held near the middle (inferred). |

| Resource Economy | 40 | The discard cost is paid against 1 summon from hand or Deck, so the net is roughly even at best and negative when the target comes from hand (verified text, inferred balance). |

| Effect & Interaction | 10 | Its negation applies to the monster it summons, not to the opponent, so it provides no interaction (verified text). |

| Material Utility | 60 | A Cấp độ 4 Fire Dragon is 1 clean material body for Dragon and Cấp độ 4 targets, and the body still works as material when its effects are negated (inferred from stats and race; observed in Dragon decks). |

| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | It works from both hand and Deck, so it has two access zones, but its effect is một lần mỗi lượt and it has no recursion (verified text, inferred). |

| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | No garnet or lock restriction, với 1 2.67 average copy count and 66 of 93 decks running three copies, so it is cheap and redundant (observed deck stats). |

Calculation

Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 60, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40Intrinsic + 0.60Deck

Strengths

• Live from hand or Deck across 25 archetypes, present in 93 sampled decks

• Clean Cấp độ 4 Fire Dragon body that remains usable as material when negated

• Easy to run: no garnet, copy counts cluster at 3

• Cheap access to 1 Dragon body from 1 discard

Weaknesses

• Needs 1 second Cấp độ 4 or lower Dragon, so it is not 1 standalone starter

• The summoned monster's effects are negated, which removes most of the target's value

• Once-per-turn limit on its own effect

• The discard cost makes hand-sourced summons card-disadvantageous

Counters / choke points

• Generic on-activation hand traps and effect negation (inferred from text; no counter evidence supplied)

• Board-wide or Dragon-targeting disruption that removes the Dragon target (inferred)
