Cyber Dragon Infinity — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 64 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 60 · Deck: 66.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Negation/Interaction
Why it scores here
Cyber Dragon Infinity converts its Xyz summon and attached materials into a board-presence payoff: it is the end-board piece in 79% of recorded boards with an average power index of 85.2, and it has a once-per-turn quick negate that costs one material. Its 2100 ATK earns no points by itself. Accessibility is held down because it needs Cyber Dragon Nova and the evidence shows no searcher or starter role for it, and it has no measured value as material.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Summon requires Cyber Dragon Nova, a partner in 99.5% of decks, but it is never a starter or searched card in the combo evidence (observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 80 | Payoff in 19 of 24 boards, end-board in 19 of 24, example boards show 3 boss monsters and netCardAdvantage 5 (observed) |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Text attaches field monsters as material and gains ATK per material, with no draw or GY refuel, so economy is roughly neutral (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 72 | Once-per-turn quick negate of any activation plus destroy, paid by detaching one material (verified) |
| Material Utility | 25 | Never observed as material (material role 0 of 24) and no body text beyond Xyz material use, so the body adds little (verified) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Detaching a material protects it from a single interaction, but it is a single-zone Extra Deck body with one negate per turn (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | One copy in 377 of 400 decks, no garnets in evidence, and an Extra Deck slot tied to Nova (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Negation/Interaction. Intrinsic ≈ 60, Deck ≈ 66.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Once-per-turn quick-effect negation that destroys the negated card (verified)
- Attaches an attack-position monster from the field as material, a board-control action (verified)
- Gains 200 ATK per attached material (verified)
- End-board piece in 79% of recorded boards (observed)
Weaknesses
- Summon depends on Cyber Dragon Nova being on the field (verified)
- Never a starter or searched card in combo evidence (observed)
- Negation costs a material and only works once per turn (verified)
- No measured value as material (observed)
Counters / choke points
- Effects that remove its materials before the negation is needed (inferred)
- Negation-proof or non-activation effects that bypass the quick negate (inferred)
