Galaxy Trance — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 58.3 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Galaxy Trance converts one Photon in the GY plus one Galaxy from the Deck into two same-Level bodies on the field, both set to 2000 ATK and negated. Its value is the two-body Special Summon, not the spell's own stats. It is near-universal in this sample (400 of 400 decks, mostly Galaxy Photon), but that frequency only confirms accessibility, not strength. The restriction clause and the once-per-turn limit cost points, and the card provides no interaction and no material of its own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | 400/400 sampled decks run one copy and the card is a spell, but no searcher route appears in the combo evidence (observed; the route is inferred from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 70 | Two recorded boards show power index 100 with 3 end monsters and 1 starter each, though combo role is empty (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Pays 2000 LP and nets +1 body from the GY plus the Deck, with combo netCardAdvantage of 4 and 6 (observed; LP cost verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No opponent interaction; the negation only hits its own summoned monsters (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 20 | The card is a spell and provides no material itself; revived Photon/Galaxy bodies carry the value (inferred from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Once-per-turn spell with no protection, so a single response can stop it (inferred from text and rule structure). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 62 | Single-copy spell with no garnet, but it restricts Normal/Special Summons to Photon/Galaxy on its activation turn (verified from text; avg 1.02 copies per deck, observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 58.3, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Two-body Special Summon from GY plus Deck in one activation
- Sets both bodies to 2000 ATK and negates them, which hides their original effects and ATK
- Universal inclusion in this sample (400/400 decks, 99.8% co-occurrence with Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon)
Weaknesses
- Once-per-turn and a summon restriction on the activation turn
- 2000 LP cost
- No interaction, no material value of its own, and a single response can stop it
Counters / choke points
- Any response to the spell during activation (negation of the spell) stops the entire line (inferred from text)
Best use
Two-body Extender in Photon/Galaxy lines that need a Photon from the GY. Decks: Galaxy Photon (archetype 570), Galaxy Photon (archetype 378), Tachyon (archetype 2052). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Pays 2000 LP to activate; Targets a Photon in the GY and summons it plus a Galaxy from the Deck, same Level, both in DEF; Each summoned monster's ATK becomes 2000 and their effects are negated; Once per turn; restricts summons to Photon/Galaxy on the activation turn
- Observed: 400/400 sampled decks run it, 1.02 copies on average; Galaxy Photon dominates the archetype spread (62%, 11.8%, 5%); Two combos with power index 100 and netCardAdvantage 4 and 6
- Inferred: Accessibility is mainly from deck inclusion, with no searcher route in the evidence; Being a spell, it can be stopped by a single spell response
- Data gaps: Only 2 combos; combo role is empty and the starter role/searched-for role/material role counts are all 0, so the combo role is not confirmed No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No rulings or tournament performance data Top-card context: not a top card; no ranking data
