Extraceratops — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 35 ± 12 · Confidence: Low
- Intrinsic: 35 · Deck: — · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Extraceratops is a Level 1 DEF-100 body whose value is conditional recursion: it only revives from the GY after a monster in the Extra Monster Zone is destroyed by battle with a Main Monster Zone monster, once per turn, and its draw happens only if it is destroyed after being revived. The score comes from the recursion and the conditional draw, not from its 100/100 stats or its Level 1 body. No deck, combo, or guide evidence was supplied, so the score rests on text inference alone and the uncertainty band is wide.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 25 | The effect needs a specific trigger, a battle destruction of an Extra Monster Zone monster, before the card can act from the GY, so it is not reliably live (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | It revives a single 100-DEF body and draws 1 only on a second destruction, with no evidenced board-building route (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | One self-revival plus a conditional draw gives modest recovery, roughly even value rather than repeated advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | It provides no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect against the opponent (verified). |
| Material Utility | 35 | As a Level 1 Warrior it is a plausible Level 1 material, though its body is weak and its generic utility is unevidenced (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The GY effect is once per turn and depends on a specific battle destruction, so it is fragile across zones and turns (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | No garnet or lock restriction is stated in the text and it can be run as a single copy at low slot cost (verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Recovery/Recursion primary role (no secondary blend applied; Material body noted but not weighted). Intrinsic ≈ 35, Deck ≈ —, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: Intrinsic (no decks and no combos supplied; Deck = null)
Strengths
- Self-revival from the GY gives recursion without spending a card from hand
- Conditional draw 1 when the revived copy is destroyed
- Level 1 body fits Level 1 material requirements
- Single-copy, low-cost slot
Weaknesses
- Trigger requires a battle destruction of an Extra Monster Zone monster, which is a narrow condition
- Once per turn restriction on the revival effect
- Low ATK/DEF (100/100) body gives little board value
- No opponent interaction
Best use
Recursion / conditional GY recovery in Extra Monster Zone decks. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 1 EARTH Warrior Effect Monster, 100 ATK / 100 DEF, no archetype; Revival from GY is conditional on a battle destruction of an Extra Monster Zone monster sent to GY, once per turn; Draw 1 if the revived copy is destroyed and sent to GY; No opponent-interaction effect in the text
- Observed: No deck, combo, or guide evidence was supplied, so no frequency or practical-use signal exists
- Inferred: The revival trigger is narrow and hard to set up reliably; Recursion value is modest rather than repeated advantage; Material value is generic Level 1 only
- Data gaps: no decks supplied — deck/synergy signals unavailable no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
