If you control another "Exosister" monster: You can draw 1 card, then if you control "Exosister Irene", you gain 800 LP. If your opponent moves a card(s) out of either GY (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Exosister" Xyz Monster using this face-up card you control as material. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon.) You can only use each effect of "Exosister Sophia" once per turn.
Exosister Sophia — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 7 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 58.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Combo enabler · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Sophia's value is the Xyz summon she converts from an opponent moving cards out of either graveyard. Her own body is a weak Level 4 with 100 ATK and 800 DEF, so the high-ATK boards she reaches are not credited. Her draw and 800 LP effects are conditional on another Exosister and add modest resource value. Frequency in 400 Exosister decks confirms she is a live, consistent family piece, not that she is intrinsically strong, so the score stays in the mid-range.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks at about 1.45 copies per deck, but no searcher or starter route appears in the evidence and as_starter is 0 (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 68 | Appears in all 4 recorded combos with average power index 69.5 and examples reaching two boss monsters, though role_in_combo is empty (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Draw 1 and 800 LP are conditional on another Exosister; boards show netCardAdvantage of 3, which is shared across the whole combo (inferred from text plus observed board stats). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | The Xyz trigger punishes opponent graveyard movement but is not a negation or removal; it is situational interaction (verified text, inferred rating). |
| Material Utility | 50 | Usable as a Level 4 Xyz material while face-up, but as_material is 0 and any Xyz target must be an Exosister, so the body is awkward outside the family (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Effect works only while face-up on the field, so one removal or negation before the trigger ends it; there are two independent effects, each once per turn (verified text, inferred rating). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Main-deck Level 4 at 1 to 3 copies with no garnet, but it locks the list into an Exosister-only shell, which the guides describe as hard to mix (observed plus guide snippet). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter/Combo enabler + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 58.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Converts an opponent's graveyard interaction into a boss-level Xyz summon
- Live in 400 of 400 sampled decks, indicating reliable access within the family
- Consistent combo presence (4 of 4 recorded boards) with strong average power index
Weaknesses
- Weak body (100 ATK, 800 DEF) gives no value if the trigger never happens
- Effect needs a live field presence, so removal or negation before the trigger shuts it down
- Locks deck construction to the Exosister family
Counters / choke points
- Negating or removing Sophia on the field before the trigger
- Avoiding moving cards out of either graveyard in the opponent's line
Best use
Xyz-trigger body and Level 4 starter for the Exosister Xyz line. Decks: Exosister (archetype 690), Exosister (archetype 383). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: draw 1 with another Exosister; 800 LP with Exosister Irene; Xyz Summon from Extra Deck on opponent GY movement; once per turn per effect; Present in 400 of 400 decks as a main-deck card
- Observed: Appears in 4 of 4 recorded combos, average power index 69.5; netCardAdvantage 3 on the example boards; Guides describe the Exosister Graveyard-trigger design and Martha lock
- Inferred: Accessibility rated 55 because no searcher route is in the evidence; Material utility rated 50 due to Exosister-only Xyz targets; Rules reliability lowered for the Xyz-summon timing
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Only 4 recorded combos; role_in_combo is empty in all examples No searcher or starter route data for this card No official rulings in evidence for the Xyz-summon timing No top_card_context ranking
