Special Summon 2 "Crystron" Tuners (1 from your hand and 1 from your Graveyard). During either player's turn, except the turn this card was sent to the Graveyard: You can banish this card from your Graveyard, then target 1 "Crystron" monster you control; send 1 "Crystron" monster from your Deck to the Graveyard whose Level is different from that monster, and if you do, that monster becomes the Level of that monster sent to the Graveyard. You can only use this effect of "Crystron Entry" once per turn.
Crystron Entry — Power Evaluation

Why it scores here
Crystron Entry converts Graveyard presence into board progress: it banishes itself from the Graveyard to send a Crystron from the Deck to the Graveyard and set a Crystron's Level, which feeds Level-dependent summons. Its score comes from that Crystron-only engine role and its once-per-turn GY activation, not from its trap frame or from the 125-deck sample. The deck evidence shows near-universal Crystron co-occurrence but no combo boards, so the combo axis is text-inferred and the score stays in the middle band. It has no opponent interaction and is locked to Crystron-theme lists, which keeps the effect and deckbuilding axes low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Live only once it reaches the Graveyard, and needs a Crystron on the field plus a different-Level Crystron in the Deck; 125/125 decks run it, but no combo starter data exists (inferred from text, deck run rate). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Turns one Crystron into a Level change and a Deck-to-GY send, a real but modest conversion; no combo examples or power-index data are supplied (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Costs itself from the Graveyard and sends a Deck card to the GY, so it nets roughly no card advantage and only adds GY fuel (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal or hand-trap reach; the effect only moves and re-levels the player's own Crystrons (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | Its Level-setting benefits Tuner/Level summons, but it is itself a Normal-race card with little body value as material (inferred from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Once-per-turn, usable on either player's turn but not the turn it was sent to the GY, with one Graveyard-activation route (verified from text, observed 1-copy distribution). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Crystron-only text and a 1-copy slot in 114/125 decks; cheap to run in its own deck but locks the list to the archetype (verified from text, observed in decks). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Combo enabler + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 47.1, Deck ≈ 50.8, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Activates from the Graveyard, so it stays live after being drawn or discarded
- Converts a Crystron in the Deck into Graveyard fuel while setting a Crystron's Level
- Run in 125 of 125 sampled decks at 1 copy in most, with near-total Crystron co-occurrence
Weaknesses
- No combo boards recorded, so conversion strength is unverified
- Only one Graveyard-activation route and a once-per-turn limit
- Zero interaction and no value when Crystron is not in the deck
- Archetype-locked to Crystron-theme lists
Counters / choke points
- Opponent interaction that stops Graveyard effects or hits the Crystron monsters it targets (generic; no specific counters in the evidence)
Best use
Combo enabler: Crystron Level-setter and Deck-to-GY fuel. Decks: Crystron (archetype 632), Crystrons (archetype 96). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: Graveyard banish cost, target 1 Crystron you control, send a different-Level Crystron from Deck to GY, Level match, once per turn (card text); Text: Special Summon 2 Crystron Tuners (1 from hand, 1 from Graveyard) (card text); Deck run: 125 of 125 sampled decks, 1 copy in 114 decks (decks_evidence)
- Observed: Partner co-occurrence: top partners appear in 83-125 of 125 decks (decks_evidence); Archetype spread: 38.4% Crystron, 30.4% Crystrons, rest tech (decks_evidence)
- Inferred: Combo enabler role from GY-banish and Level-set text (no combo data); Restricted to Crystron-theme lists by text
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for this card no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) card text does not state the activation location for the first Special Summon sentence
