Galaxy Wizard — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 55 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Galaxy Wizard's value is a field-to-hand search: Tributing it adds one "Galaxy" card from the Deck to hand, which is a card-for-card exchange rather than advantage. Its once-per-turn Level +4 gives it level flexibility as a body, but the combo evidence does not record it as a starter, searched, or material piece in the 2 sampled boards. High deck inclusion (400 of 400 sampled decks, avg 2.07 copies, almost always alongside Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon) confirms it is a consistent Galaxy Photon staple, not that it is intrinsically strong, so that frequency only moves the Deck score modestly.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Runs in 400 of 400 sampled decks at about 2 copies on average, and its search is its own route from the field (verified, observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Two sampled boards, both power index 100, but combo role is empty and the card is recorded in neither starter nor payoff role (observed, inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Tribute-to-search is a 1-for-1 card exchange with no net advantage or refuel shown in the evidence (verified, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or disruption text is present (verified). |
| Material Utility | 50 | Level 4 Light Spellcaster that can be raised to Level 8 once per turn gives level flexibility, but material role is 0 in the sampled boards (verified, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The search requires the card on the field to Tribute and has no protection, and no redundancy beyond multiple copies is shown (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Generic Level 4 body with no garnet or lock, run at 1 to 3 copies in the sample with no banlist token (verified, observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Material body / Normal. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Consistently included in the recent Galaxy Photon sample (400 of 400 decks)
- Level-raise effect gives the body Level 4 and Level 8 flexibility
- Cheap, generic, and easy to run with no garnet cost
Weaknesses
- Tribute-to-search is card-neutral, so it does not generate advantage on its own
- Zero effect interaction
- Combo evidence is too thin (2 boards) to show a starter or payoff role
Counters / choke points
- Negation or removal before the Tribute search resolves
- Hand disruption that strips it before it is needed
Best use
Searcher / level-flex body. Decks: Galaxy Photon. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Tribute-to-search effect text: adds one "Galaxy" card from Deck, excluding Galaxy Wizard; Level +4 effect is once per turn per the supplied text; Level 4, DEF 1800, Light Spellcaster, no banlist token (3 copies assumed); Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks
- Observed: Average 2.07 copies per deck; 141 decks run 1, 91 run 2, 168 run 3; Cipher usage stats: 100% inclusion, typical 2 copies; Galaxy Photon usage stats: 50% and 30.8% inclusion across two variants; Two combo boards, power index 100 each, avg starter count 1
- Inferred: The Tribute search is card-neutral, so its value depends on the Galaxy targets it fetches; Scoring treats the level boost as a material-flexibility enabler rather than a direct combo starter; Deck inclusion mostly reflects being a Galaxy Photon staple rather than standalone power
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Galaxy Wizard does not appear by name in any guide snippet or guide section co_card_ids combo role is empty for both sampled boards Only 2 combo boards, too few to corroborate a role Once-per-turn scope for the Tribute search effect is not stated in the supplied text
