Why it scores here
Genex Recycled is a Level 1 DARK Machine Tuner whose once-per-turn effect makes it take the name of a Genex monster in your Graveyard until the End Phase, so its value is in satisfying name-restricted Genex requirements and serving as a Tuner body. It runs in 92 recent decks, almost all of them Genex, which confirms it is reliably accessible but does not make it powerful. There is no combo, searcher, refuel or interaction evidence, so its conversion and economy scores stay low and the 200 ATK earns nothing.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Included in 92 of 92 sampled decks at 1 to 2 copies, with 82.6% in the Genex archetype and strong partner co-occurrence (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Text describes a name change into a Graveyard Genex monster, but no recorded board shows it converting into a larger board (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | No draw, search, or recursion text; the once-per-turn name change gives no card advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No opponent-facing negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in the card text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 65 | Level 1 Tuner body that stays usable as material even after its effect is negated, though it is a weak 200 ATK body (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The name change lasts only until the End Phase and is lost if the effect is negated, so it has little redundancy across turns (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Cheap single-level Tuner with 1 to 2 copies per deck, but it only fits Genex-named builds, which restricts where it can go (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Extender primary role, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 1 DARK Machine Tuner, 200 ATK / 400 DEF, Genex archetype; Once per turn, selects a Genex monster in the Graveyard and takes its name until the End Phase
- Observed: In 92 of 92 sampled decks, 82.6% in the Genex archetype; Average 1.28 copies per deck, max 2; Guide describes Genex as a handtrap-dependent deck with Genex Tuner bodies
- Inferred: Name change satisfies name-restricted Genex requirements; Usable as a Tuner body after the effect is negated
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token, assumed 3 copies no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only
