Why it scores here
Exosister Pax is a once-per-turn Spell that pays 800 LP to add an Exosister monster from the Deck, then Special Summons it when the other named Exosister is on the field or in the GY. Its score comes from reliable access to the archetype's engine: it runs three copies in 393 of 400 sampled decks and is a live searcher whenever the Exosister core is present. High base stats and the board power index of the boards it appears in earn no points on their own, since combo role is empty and searched-for role is recorded as 0. The 800 LP cost, lack of interaction, and dependence on the Exosister lock keep it from scoring higher.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 80 | Three copies in 393 of 400 decks and a live searcher once drawn, though it needs Exosister partners in hand or Deck (observed; the searcher route itself is verified from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The four recorded combos average a board power index of 69.5 with 2 boss monsters per board, but combo role is empty and searched-for role is 0, so this is only partly attributable to the card (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Spell for a +1 card search, net zero cards, at an 800 LP cost; no refuel or repeated advantage (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No opponent interaction, negation, or removal in the text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell cannot be used as material, so the body value is zero (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Once-per-turn, single-zone, and easily negated as a Spell; redundancy comes only from three copies (verified from text, inference on negation). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | A three-copy Spell in a single-archetype deck, with a modest LP cost and no garnet or lock beyond the Exosister restriction (inferred from the copy distribution and text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary Searcher/Tutor; no secondary role (blend not applied). Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Searches an Exosister monster from the Deck for a single 800 LP cost, feeding the archetype's engine
- Three copies in 393 of 400 sampled decks, showing it is a standard part of the list (verified)
- Present with the core Exosister partners in nearly every sampled deck (observed)
Weaknesses
- Spell with no interaction and no material value
- 800 LP cost and once-per-turn limit
- Usable only in Exosister decks, so it has little portability
Counters / choke points
- Generic Spell negation (inferred from card type; the evidence contains no counter data)
Best use
Searcher/Tutor. Decks: Exosister (690), Exosister (383). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: 800 LP cost, adds one non-Pax Exosister from Deck, optional Special Summon, once per turn; Three copies in 393 of 400 decks; Card type is Spell, so it has no material value
- Observed: Appears in 4 of 4 recorded combos; Average board power index 69.5 across boards it appears in; Guides describe the card as part of the Exosister Graveyard-punish plan
- Inferred: Searcher role comes from text; combo role counts (searched-for role 0, combo role empty) do not confirm it; Negation is the main risk, inferred from card type; Generic utility is low because the text is locked to Exosister
- Data gaps: combo role is empty on all combo examples and searched-for role is 0, so card-level combo role is unconfirmed No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) distinct archetypes (28) is inflated by several archetype ids sharing the name Exosister, so portability is overstated No top-card ranking data Only 4 combos recorded, a small sample
