Galaxy Stealth Dragon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51.3 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
The card's reliable output is a once-per-turn Dragon Special Summon from hand, paid for by detaching one Xyz material, so it converts one material into one body and then offers a soft protection clause for other Galaxy cards. Its 2000 ATK and 1600 DEF earn nothing; the score rests on its real Galaxy Photon usage (43 of 90 sampled decks), its 1-copy deck slot, and its role as a material-for-body converter. No combo data exists, so the combo axis is text-only inference and caps confidence at Medium.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Needs two Level 4 Dragons to Xyz Summon, but it is in 90 of 90 sampled decks and mostly runs one copy, so it is live in Galaxy builds (deck data; observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The hand Dragon summon turns one material into one body with no combo support in the evidence, so this is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 48 | Detaching a material for a hand Dragon is an even trade of one body for one material, with no refuel or draw (verified text; inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | The protection clause only shields other Galaxy cards from opponent targeting and destruction, which is soft interaction (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 30 | As a Xyz monster it is a poor material, and the evidence shows no material-role appearances (no combo data; inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The effect is once per turn and works from hand, with some redundancy across Galaxy lines, but nothing resists common interruption (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | One Xyz slot, a mild Galaxy restriction, and 1-copy usage in 76 of 90 decks make it cheap to run (observed deck distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 51.3, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in 90 of 90 sampled decks, with Galaxy Photon at 47.8%
- Hand Dragon summon converts a spent material into a body
- Cheap to run at 1 copy in most decks
- Protects other Galaxy cards from opponent effects
Weaknesses
- Needs two Level 4 Dragons to Xyz Summon
- Weak as material, so it is a poor link to further summons
- Protection is narrow and once per turn
- No combo data to confirm conversion strength
Counters / choke points
- Opponent effects that target or negate the Xyz monster before the detach
- Board-wide negation or banish that removes its material
Best use
Extender: converts a detached material into a Dragon body from hand. Decks: Galaxy Photon. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: once-per-turn detach to Special Summon a Dragon from hand; Text: protects other Galaxy cards from opponent card effects; Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks
- Observed: Present in 90 sampled decks; 76 run 1 copy; Galaxy Photon in 43 of 90 decks (47.8%); Top partners include Number 38 at 72.2% co-occurrence
- Inferred: Converts one material into one body with no net advantage; Extender role; no combo evidence to confirm starter or payoff use; Protection is soft interaction
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only
