Cynet Universe — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 43 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 42 · Deck: 44 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility
Why it scores here
Cynet Universe is a Field Spell whose ATK boost only applies to Link Monsters and whose once-per-turn effect shuffles one GY monster into the Deck. It gives no card advantage, no board, and no negation, and its destruction clause sends your Extra Monster Zone monsters to the GY, which is a drawback when an opponent destroys it. The 80-deck presence, 26 archetypes, and high view count confirm it is a played, cheap, single-copy slot, but they do not earn points because they do not show that it converts into winning value.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | A single Field Spell with no searcher or combo evidence, but it appears in 80 recent decks across 26 archetypes (observed, with inference that it is reachable in practice). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | No combo boards record it, and its text only buffs existing Link Monsters and does not build a board (verified text, combo data empty). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | The GY shuffle is card-neutral and there is no refuel or draw, so no advantage is gained (verified text, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | Shuffling a GY monster is minor graveyard hate with no negation or removal (verified text, inferred). |
| Material Utility | 20 | It is not a monster and provides no material value (verified card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The Field Spell can be destroyed, and its destruction clause is self-harming against an opponent's destruction effect, so resilience is weak (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | It is a single-copy generic slot with no garnets or locks, averaging 1.2 copies per deck (observed). |
Calculation

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Field Spell text: +300 ATK to Link Monsters you control, once-per-turn GY shuffle, destruction-by-card-effect clause; Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks; 80 of 80 decks run it in main, average 1.2 copies
- Observed: Appears in 80 recent decks across 26 archetypes; Gameplay distribution: 63.8% type 7, 31.2% type 4; Top partners are generic staples such as Mirror Force and Decode Talker
- Inferred: The GY shuffle is minor graveyard hate with no card advantage; The destruction clause is a net liability in most spots; The ATK buff matters only in Link-heavy boards
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only Link Monster count in these decks is unknown, so the ATK buff's practical value is unmeasured
