Galactic Charity — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 41 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 39 · Deck: 43 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility
Why it scores here
Galactic Charity converts a live Galaxy Xyz Monster into a net +1 card (discard 1, draw 2), which is a modest, repeatable card-filtering gain rather than board presence. Its one interaction clause (halving opponent damage this turn) is minor and situational. The card is a dead spell without a Galaxy Xyz on the field, and it cannot serve as material, so its ATK-independent ceiling stays low. The 87-deck footprint across 17 archetypes confirms it is a real, practical pick in Galaxy builds, but that popularity is not treated as raw power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Needs a Galaxy Xyz already on the field, which Galaxy Photon and Galaxy-Eyes decks reach often; no starter or searched counts exist to confirm it (observed deck inclusion, inferred access). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | The text converts into card filtering only, with no board-building effect and no combo boards recorded (inferred from text, combos absent). |
| Resource Economy | 62 | Discard 1 for draw 2 is a repeatable net +1 when its Galaxy condition is met, with no refuel or banish (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | Halving damage taken for the rest of the turn is a minor, situational effect with no negation or removal (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 0 | It is a Spell Card and cannot be material, so the score is zero (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Once per turn, dependent on a single Galaxy Xyz staying on the field, with no redundancy beyond multi-archetype homes (inferred from text plus deck spread). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | One copy on average and no garnet or lock, but it is conditional on the Galaxy Xyz theme, which mildly limits where it can be run (observed copies, verified from text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility default (no clear single role); no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 39, Deck ≈ 43, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Conditional self-restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Net +1 card advantage when its Galaxy Xyz condition is met
- Broad real-world deck use across 17 archetypes, confirming it is practical in Galaxy homes
- Clear, low-complexity text with no garnet or lock
Weaknesses
- Dead without a Galaxy Xyz Monster on the field
- Cannot be material and has no board presence
- The damage-halving clause adds little to winning value
- Recorded guide calls the Galaxy deck it sits in weak against the current meta
Counters / choke points
- Xyz removal or Galaxy Xyz disruption that removes the enabling monster
- Negation of the card as a Spell, which removes both the draw and the damage clause
Best use
Card filter for Galaxy Xyz boards when a Galaxy Xyz is already live. Decks: Galaxy Photon, Galaxy-Eyes. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: discard 1 card, draw 2 cards, conditional on controlling a Galaxy Xyz Monster; damage halved if activated; once per turn by name; Card type is Spell Card, so it cannot be material
- Observed: 87 of the recent sample decks run it, averaging 1.22 copies per deck; Appears across 17 archetypes, led by Galaxy Photon and Galaxy-Eyes; Strongest partners are Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon and Galaxy-Eyes Afterglow Dragon at 79–82% co-occurrence
- Inferred: Accessibility is good in Galaxy decks because Galaxy Xyz are common there, but this is not measured; Net +1 advantage holds only when the Galaxy condition is met
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference No usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Guide evidence is a single tangential remark, not a role analysis
