2 Level 6 monsters While this card has material, your opponent cannot target it with monster effects. When your opponent activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): You can detach 2 materials from this card, or just 1 material if all this card's materials are Reptile and/or Dinosaur, then target 1 face-up card your opponent controls; negate its effects until the end of this turn.
Evolzar Lars — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 65 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 62 · Deck: 66 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
Evolzar Lars is scored mainly as a quick-effect negation piece that needs two Level 6 monsters on the field to exist, plus two materials per use. Its strongest observed role is as a payoff and end-board body (2 of 10 recorded boards, average power index 94.2), not as a starter or searcher. Its 2500 ATK and the 400-of-400 deck inclusion earned no points by themselves: the 400-deck count is a staple signal, and the evidence shows the card is played by many homes, not that it is intrinsically dominant.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Xyz Summon needs two Level 6 monsters already on the field and it has no searcher in the evidence; starter role and searched-for role are both 0 (verified text + combo stat, with inference for the Xyz requirement). |
| Combo & Conversion | 65 | Appears in all 10 recorded boards as a payoff/end-board piece in 2 of them, with bossMonsters = 2 and average power index 94.2 when present (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Negation costs 2 materials (or 1 for Reptile/Dinosaur materials) and returns no card advantage; the evidence shows no draw, search, or refuel (verified text, no netCardAdvantage gain from the card itself). |
| Effect & Interaction | 70 | Quick-effect negate on any face-up opponent card when the opponent activates a card or effect, with a flexible target and no once-per-turn limit in the text (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 15 | material role count is 0 and the card is a Xyz boss rather than a material body, so its value as a material provider is low (observed + inference). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Cannot be targeted by monster effects while it has material, which resists monster-effect removal but not spell/trap or card-effect interaction (verified text, inference on the interaction surface). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Single copy in 393 of 400 decks, no garnet or lock restriction in the text, and a 1-copy typical copies figure in usage statistics (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 62, Deck ≈ 66, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Quick-effect negate of any face-up opponent card with a flexible target
- Cannot be targeted by monster effects while it has material
- Real payoff and end-board presence in recorded boards (power index 94.2 average)
- Single-copy, low-cost slot with broad archetype reach across 78 archetypes
Weaknesses
- Requires two Level 6 monsters on field to Xyz Summon, so it is not live from hand
- Each negate spends materials and gives no card advantage
- Weak as a material body (0 material role appearances)
- Has no protection from spell/trap or card-effect interaction
Counters / choke points
- Spell/trap removal or card-effect destruction, which ignores the monster-effect targeting protection
- Opponent negation that is played before Xyz Summon while materials are still being attached
- Board-wipe effects that clear the two Level 6 materials
Best use
Negate-and-end-board Xyz boss in Level 6 Xyz shells. Decks: Evol, Temple of the Kings, Apophis, GMX, Jurrac, Transcendosaurus, Dominus. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Quick-effect negate on opponent activation costs 2 materials (1 if Reptile/Dinosaur materials); Cannot be targeted by monster effects while it has material; Xyz monster, Level 6 Xyz Summon, ATK 2500 / DEF 1500
- Observed: Appears in 10 of 10 recorded combos; payoff/end-board in 2; Average power index 94.2 when present; Running in 400 of 400 sampled decks, typically 1 copy; Inclusion in 16 archetype statistics rows, 50-100% inclusion
- Inferred: Xyz Summon requirement makes it unsummonable from hand without two Level 6 monsters on the field; Negation does not produce card advantage; Bossing role is secondary to the negate, which is the main reason it runs
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Only 10 combos recorded; combo conversion signal is thin No top-card ranking data (top-card status = false) No rulings or Vietnamese-specific guide content on the negate timing beyond snippets
