2 Rank 4 "Exosister" Xyz Monsters Must be Xyz Summoned with the above materials. Can make a second attack during each Battle Phase. Once per turn (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card; banish 1 card your opponent controls. When your opponent activates a card or effect (Quick Effect): You can return 1 Xyz Monster you own attached to this card to your Extra Deck, then you can Special Summon that monster from your Extra Deck, by using this card you control as material. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon. Transfer this card's materials to the Summoned monster.)
Exosisters Magnifica — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 62 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 58.2 · Deck: 64.6 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Removal
Why it scores here
Magnifica reliably converts Exosister material into an end-board: it is in all 5 recorded boards, is the payoff in 3 of them (average power index 75.6 when present), and sits in 400 of 400 sampled decks. Its once-per-turn quick banish of an opposing card gives it real interaction, and the response-based re-summon keeps the body useful after the first answer. The 2800 ATK and the second attack earned almost nothing: the score rests on access through Rank 4 Exosister materials, the banish, and the lean deck cost, not on stats.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Needs two Rank 4 Exosister Xyz materials, which are near-universal in these decks (top partners at 96-100%), but it is never a starter or searched card (0 of 5 boards), so access is mid-game (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 72 | Payoff in 3 of 5 boards with end-board presence in all three and an average power index of 75.6 when present; the top example reaches 88 to 100 (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 58 | The banish costs one detached material and the re-summon transfers materials, giving netCardAdvantage of +3 to +5 in the sampled boards; no explicit refuel (observed plus inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 68 | Once-per-turn quick banish of an opposing card and a quick re-summon response to an opponent's activation give repeatable, flexible interaction, though both are capped by once-per-turn and material cost (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 30 | Zero appearances as material in the sampled boards and a Rank 8 body that is rarely a material for other Xyz monsters, so it is a weak material provider (observed plus inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Two effects across two timings (during the opponent's activation and on the player's own quick effect) give some multi-spot value, but the response effect can be negated and the banish is single-use per turn (verified plus inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 50 | Typically runs 2 copies in the Extra Deck and is locked to Exosister Xyz summons, a mild restriction in exchange for a theme-core slot (observed, 400 decks). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 58.2, Deck ≈ 64.6, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in 400 of 400 sampled Exosister decks, with 2 copies typical
- Repeatable once-per-turn banish of an opposing card at a single material cost
- Quick re-summon response to opponent activations keeps the body in play
- Strong combo payoff and end-board presence (power index 75.6 average when present)
Weaknesses
- Mid-game access only: never a starter or searched card in the sample
- Weak as material, so it does little for other Xyz routes
- 2800 ATK adds nothing to the score; its value depends on Exosister material and support
- The response effect is vulnerable to negation and the banish is once per turn
Counters / choke points
- Negating the opponent's activation response removes the re-summon (inference from text)
- Clearing or disrupting the two Rank 4 Exosister materials before Summon stops the body entirely (inference)
- Opponent's quick interaction during the once-per-turn banish window can reduce its value (inference)
Best use
Boss/End-board finisher with a repeatable banish; ends the board after the Exosister Xyz line is set up. Decks: Exosister (archetype 690), Exosister (archetype 383). Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Quick once-per-turn banish of an opponent's card by detaching 1 material (card text); Response effect returns an attached Xyz to the Extra Deck and Special Summons it with this card as material (card text); Requires two Rank 4 Exosister Xyz as material (card text)
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks with 2 copies typical (usage 93-100% inclusion); Payoff in 3 of 5 recorded boards with end-board presence in all three; Average power index 75.6 when present; net card advantage +3 to +5 in examples; Zero starter, searched, or material appearances in the sampled boards
- Inferred: Mid-game access rather than opening hand, since it is never a starter or searched card; Rank 8 body is a weak material for other Xyz routes; Response effect is negatable and banish is limited by once-per-turn and material cost
- Data gaps: no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) combo sample is only 5 boards, so combo conversion is thin no rulings or FAQ evidence distinct archetypes (29) is inflated by Exosister-named archetype ids; true variety is low no dated metagame sample; meta power left null no top-card data ranking
