Cynet Refresh — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48 · Deck: 50 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Board breaker · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Cynet Refresh is a narrow, situational board breaker. Its mass destruction fires only when an opponent's Cyberse monster declares an attack, and it destroys your own Main Monster Zones as well. Its real value is the End Phase recursion of Cyberse Link monsters destroyed by the effect, which makes it a recovery line inside Cyberse Link decks rather than a generic answer. The 400 of 400 sampled decks that run it reflect how the sample was built around the card, not extra power, and the single combo's power index of 100 is board-level and not attributed to this card, so it does not lift the score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | A single-copy Trap with no searcher or searched-for role evidence; it is reached only by being set in the deck, and the lone combo gives no search route (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The only recorded combo reaches 6 end monsters and 3 bosses, but the card has no role tag in that combo, so the board value is not attributed to it (observed, low sample). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Effect 1 revives destroyed Cyberse Links from the GY in the End Phase, a real refuel that costs your own board because your Main Monster Zones are also wiped (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | Effect 1 is a strong mass-destruction answer to a Cyberse attack but narrowly triggered; effect 2 protects only your Cyberse Links from opponent effects (verified). |
| Material Utility | 0 | It is a Trap card with no monster body, so it cannot serve as material (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | It is a set-trap line with one copy and no redundancy; the supplied text has no once-per-turn clause, and effect 2 is the only protection on offer (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | One copy in each sampled deck, no garnet or lock text, and high partner density (Cynet Mining 99.2%) make it cheap to run inside Cyberse decks (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 50, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Cyberse-only trigger (self-locking restriction) (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Mass-destruction answer to a Cyberse attack that also recovers destroyed Cyberse Links in the End Phase
- Single copy with no garnet or lock text, so it is cheap to run
- Dense partner network inside the sample (Cynet Mining 99.2%, Firewall Defenser 98.2%)
Weaknesses
- Dead against opponents whose attacks are not from Cyberse monsters
- Destroys your own Main Monster Zones too; Links are recovered only if this effect destroyed them
- Effect 2 protects only your Cyberse Links and costs a GY banish
- The combo evidence is a single board, with no attributed role for this card
Counters / choke points
- Stopping or interrupting the trap before the attack declaration (inferred; no counter data in the evidence)
- Opponent decks that avoid attacking with Cyberse monsters (inferred from the trigger text)

- Data gaps: Deck sample is selected on this card, so all 400 decks run it and prevalence is not measured Only one combo, with empty combo role, so the card's contribution to the board is not attributed usage statistics has a single archetype row The guide snippet does not name Cynet Refresh; the section co_card_ids do not include this card's passcode No banlist token; 3 copies assumed No rulings or searcher evidence No metagame sample
