Cyber Energy Shock — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 55 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal · Secondary: Negation/Interaction
Why it scores here
Cyber Energy Shock is a Quick-Play spell that destroys one target on the field at instant speed, with a Trap-only bonus that can negate a face-up card or give Jinzo 800 ATK. Its power is capped because it needs Jinzo under your control and can only activate once per turn, so it is conditional interaction rather than unconditional removal. The 37-deck sample (all main deck, average 2.1 copies, 94.6% co-run with Jinzo - Jector) confirms it is a reliably run card in the Jinzo ecosystem, but the view count and the card's ATK-free nature earned no points. No combo or guide evidence exists, so the combo axis rests on text-only inference.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | The card needs Jinzo under your control to activate, and it appears in 37 of 37 sampled decks, so it is live only in Jinzo-compatible lines (deck presence observed; Jinzo condition verified from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Text-only: one destroy plus an optional negate or ATK pump, with no extra bodies and no combo examples supplied (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | One-for-one destruction with no search, refuel or draw, so the exchange is roughly even (verified from card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 65 | Destroys any field card at instant speed with a Trap-only negate or pump, but gated behind the Jinzo condition and once-per-turn limit (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | It is a Spell card, so it cannot be used as material and provides no body (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | It sits in hand as a Spell, so a negate on its activation or losing the Jinzo condition shuts it off, and the once-per-turn limit caps repeat use (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | A single slot with no garnet or lock, typically run at 2-3 copies in the sample (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Removal / Negation profile; single primary role, no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Destroys any field card at instant speed
- Trap-only bonus can negate or pump Jinzo in the same card
- Consistently run in the sampled Jinzo decks at 2-3 copies
- Clean one-slot build with no garnet or lock
Weaknesses
- Requires Jinzo under your control
- Once per turn limit
- A Spell that a hand trap can negate on activation
- No combo evidence to show it converts beyond a single removal
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps that negate the activation, e.g. Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (co-run in 46% of sampled decks; inferred)
- Removing or never letting Jinzo reach the field
Best use
Removal / Negation. Decks: Jinzo. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Quick-Play Spell; Requires controlling Jinzo; Destroys one target on the field; Trap-only optional negate or +800 ATK to Jinzo; Once per turn
- Observed: Runs in 37 of 37 sampled decks as a main-deck card; Average 2.11 copies per deck, distribution 1 to 3; Spans 13 archetype labels, concentrated in Jinzo (43.2% of decks); Most common gameplay type 7 (51.4%)
- Inferred: Use is limited to Jinzo-compatible lines; Hand traps that negate activations are the main practical answer; Resource exchange is roughly even because there is no refuel
- Data gaps: No combo evidence (total combos 0), so combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied No usage statistics (StatisticsCard); archetype inclusion inferred from the 37-deck sample only No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No rulings supplied for the Jinzo condition or the Trap-only branch
