Crystron Rosenix

Crystron Rosenix — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 59 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 58 · Deck: 58.7 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Material body, Recovery/Recursion

Why it scores here

Crystron Rosenix converts a card it already controls into a Crystron Tuner from the Deck (a cost-for-search exchange that is roughly card-neutral), and it can later turn itself from the Graveyard into a Level 1 Machine WATER token, which is a clean Synchro body. It is in essentially every Crystron list (400 of 400 sampled decks, with a 1.03 average copy count), so it is clearly live and easy to run. The score is held back by the absence of combo data, a near-zero interaction profile, and a once-per-turn restriction that also blocks Extra Deck Special Summons when used. The 1800 ATK and Level 4 body earn nothing on their own; the points come from search and material conversion.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Material body (secondary blended). Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 58.7, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-restriction on Extra Deck Special Summons (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (decks present, combos absent, meta unknown)

Strengths

• Live in essentially every sampled Crystron deck (400/400 at 1.03 copies), so it is consistently accessible
• Converts an own face-up card into a Crystron Tuner search, which is card-neutral and reliable
• GY banish option makes a Level 1 Machine WATER token, a clean Synchro body usable from the graveyard
• The Level 4 WATER Machine body is clean Synchro material and stays material even if its effects are negated

Weaknesses

• No combo data, so its real board-conversion power is unverified
• Effect 1 costs a face-up card and blocks Extra Deck Special Summons except Machine Synchros for the turn
• Only one effect per turn, and no opponent interaction at all
• Its value depends on the Crystron ecosystem: the Tuner it searches and the Machine Synchro payoffs are both archetype-specific

Counters / choke points

• Opponent deck-search and Special Summon negation, which can respond to its search effect (inferred from effect category; the evidence contains no counter data)

Best use

Searcher/Tutor (Tuner search via destroy cost), with material and GY-token support for Machine Synchro lines. Decks: Crystron, Crystrons. Suggested copies: 1.

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Level 4 WATER Machine Effect Monster, 1800 ATK / 1000 DEF, archetype Crystron (card text); Effect 1: target 1 face-up card you control, destroy it, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Crystron Tuner from the Deck (card text); Effect 1 also prevents Extra Deck Special Summons except Machine-Type Synchro Monsters for the turn (card text); Effect 2: banish from the GY to Special Summon 1 Crystron Token (Machine/WATER/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0), which cannot be Tributed (card text); Only 1 Crystron Rosenix effect per turn, once per turn (card text)
• Observed: Appears in 400 of 400 sampled decks as a main-deck card, with 1.03 average copies per deck (deck data); 85.2% of decks use gameplay type 7 and 37 distinct archetypes run it (deck data); Usage statistics show 100% inclusion at typical 1 copy in the Crystrons archetype (usage statistics); Co-occurs with Crystron core cards in 77–92% of decks, including Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 92.2% (top partners)
• Inferred: The GY-banished token makes a clean Level 1 Machine WATER Synchro body (inferred from token stats and the Synchro rule); Destroy-then-search is roughly card-neutral and reliable as a Tuner route (inferred from the cost-for-search wording); The body stays a Synchro material even when its effects are negated (inferred from type and level)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token; legal copies is empty, so 3 copies is assumed average starter count when present unavailable, so DeckResilience is estimated from archetype spread and copy count top-card data shows no ranking; accessibility is not confirmed by Top-Card data
