Exosister Kaspitell — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 62 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 64 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Kaspitell's one active effect is a once-per-turn search: detach 1 material to add an Exosister from the Deck to hand, a real +1 card advantage that keeps the Exosister engine running. Its 2300 ATK and Rank 4 body earn no points; the score rests on the search, the combo lines it sits in (average power index 75.6), and its near-universal inclusion in the Exosister shell (400/400 decks). The combo data shows it mostly as a material (60%) rather than a searched card, which conflicts with the text, so the searcher role is kept but tempered. Its archetype lock and Exosister-only Xyz summoning cap the generic-utility and deckbuilding scores.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Present in 400 of 400 recent decks and 5 of 5 recorded combos, but it is only live once an Exosister is on the field to Xyz Summon from (appears in combos, verified; route depends on Exosister board, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 62 | Builds a two-boss end board in the highest-scoring Exosister combos (power index 100, 88, 87), though it is a Xyz body that needs Exosister material first (combo examples, observed). |
| Resource Economy | 65 | Detach-to-search gives an Exosister from Deck to hand for one material, and the combo boards show net card advantage of +3 to +5 (verified card text; board stats, observed). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | Its GY-summon lock applies only when Xyz Summoned with an Exosister and is once per turn, so interaction is situational rather than strong (card text, verified; no negation or removal, verified). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Level-4 Xyz body rather than a generic material; it appears as material in 3 of 5 combos but is not a clean Tuner or Level fit for other Xyz (combo role, observed; Xyz restriction, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Cannot be destroyed by battle with a monster Special Summoned from the GY, but it has no protection from card effects and the search does not rely on it staying on field (card text, verified; resilience estimate, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Typically run at 2 copies (2 typical copies in the main archetype) and locked to Exosister decks with no garnet or brick risk (usage statistics, observed; restriction, inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Material body (text-derived primary; combo evidence supports the secondary). Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 64, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype-locked Xyz restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Once-per-turn Deck search that adds an Exosister for one material (card text)
- Appears in all 400 recent Exosister decks, usually at 2 copies (decks evidence, usage statistics)
- Its combo boards produce two bosses and net +3 to +5 card advantage (combo evidence)
- Battle protection against Special Summoned monsters from the GY (card text)
Weaknesses
- Needs an Exosister on field to Xyz Summon, so it does nothing alone (card text, verified)
- Its search is once per turn and costs a material (card text, verified)
- Archetype-restricted: it is useless outside Exosister lines (decks evidence, observed)
- Low ATK and DEF; its value is in the engine, not the body (card stats, verified)
Counters / choke points
- Negating the Xyz Summon or the search effect (inferred from card text; no counter-evidence in data)
- Removing the Exosister material before the search is used (inferred)
Best use
Searcher in the Exosister Xyz engine, with Material body value for other Exosister Xyz. Decks: Exosister (archetype 690), Exosister (archetype 383). Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: once-per-turn detach-1 to add an Exosister from Deck to hand; Card text: cannot be destroyed by battle with a monster Special Summoned from the GY; Card text: GY-summon lock when Xyz Summoned using an Exosister; Present in 400 of 400 recent decks (decks evidence)
- Observed: As material in 3 of 5 combos; avg power index 75.6 (combo evidence); Typical 2 copies in the main Exosister archetype (usage statistics); Net card advantage +3 to +5 on the highest-scoring boards (combo examples)
- Inferred: Searcher/Tutor is primary because the text's only active effect is a search, although searched-for role is 0 in the combo data; Material body secondary, from the combo role data; Archetype restriction is a deck-building cost (inferred from text and archetype data)
- Data gaps: No banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Only 5 recorded combos, so combo evidence is thin Combo data records 0 searched appearances despite the on-text search effect, so the searcher role is not confirmed by combo evidence top-card data is empty; no ranking data No rulings or guide text covering the search and lock timing in detail legal copies is empty for all formats
