Genex Army — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48 · Deck: 50 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Genex Army turns a Genex tribute into a single destruction of one opponent card, which is a conditional one-for-one trade and not a repeatable engine. Its 2300 ATK earned no points. The score rests on the conditional removal, on a Level 6 Machine Earth body that stays usable as material even if the effect is negated, and on a cheap, low-cost deck slot. Its presence in 4 of 4 sampled Genex decks confirms it is accessible in its home archetype, but it does not show strength on its own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Needs a Genex monster on the field to tribute, and the 4 sampled decks all run Genex with strong partners such as Genex Searcher, so it is live but gated (observed from deck data; the Genex-field requirement is verified from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | No combo boards are recorded, so it converts one destruction and nothing further, with no evidence of a larger board (inferred from text; no combo data). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Tributing a Genex and destroying one card is roughly even at best, with no recursion or card-advantage wording in the text (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | Destroys one opponent card only when Tribute Summoned by tributing a Genex, which is situational and not a hand trap or negation (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A Level 6 Machine EARTH body is a clean generic material, and it still counts as a material body if its effect is negated (inferred from stats and text; no combo stats). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The removal effect can be shut off by a negation, and it works only in the one Tribute Summon situation, so it is limited across zones and turns (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Two to three copies in a Genex shell, with no garnet or self-lock wording in the text (observed from deck data copies; verified from text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal / Negation + 0.3 Material body / Normal. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 50, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Conditional one-card removal that is hard to play around when it fires
- Level 6 Machine Earth body remains a usable material even if negated
- Low deck cost: 2-3 copies in a single-archetype shell
Weaknesses
- Conditional on a Genex tribute, so it needs a Genex on the field first
- Effect is a single destruction with no recursion, so it trades one-for-one
- Single archetype home (distinct archetypes = 1), limiting portability
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the effect (the body still works as material)
- Removing the Genex monster that would be tributed, which stops the Tribute Summon condition
Best use
Conditional removal and Level 6 material body in Genex. Decks: Genex.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect: when Tribute Summoned by tributing a Genex monster, destroy 1 card your opponent controls; Level 6 Machine EARTH Effect Monster, ATK 2300 DEF 1300, archetype Genex
- Observed: Present in 4 of 4 sampled decks (100%), copies avg 2.5 (max 3); Partners Genex Searcher and Dovelgus at 100% co-occurrence in the sample
- Inferred: Acts as a generic Level 6 material body even when its effect is negated; Trades one-for-one with no recursion
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so inclusion across archetypes is unknown no rulings supplied for Tribute Summon timing no once-per-turn wording in the text, so none is assumed no banlist token and no legal copies per format, so 3 copies (unlimited) is assumed
