Hydrogeddon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 58 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Hydrogeddon is a Level 4 WATER Dinosaur whose only effect is conditional: after it destroys an opponent's monster by battle and sends that monster to the GY, it Special Summons another Hydrogeddon from the Deck. That makes it a body-adding extender that is live in 24 recent decks across 18 archetypes, which earns the accessibility, deckbuilding and portability points. The score stays in the mid-50s because the effect needs a battle win to trigger, there is no combo evidence showing what it converts into, and it has no negation or removal. High ATK and the Level 4 body were not scored directly; the Level 4 body only counts toward material utility.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 68 | Live in 24 of the recent decks across 18 archetypes at 2.67 copies on average, but no searcher or starter route is shown in the evidence (decks, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The effect converts one battle win into one extra Hydrogeddon, with no recorded boards to show a larger conversion (inferred from text; combo data is empty). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | A battle-destruction trigger that adds one body from the Deck is a +1 card gain only when the battle condition is met (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 20 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in the text (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 65 | Level 4 WATER Dinosaur is a standard material body, and the body still exists when its effect is negated (verified from card stats and text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The effect depends on winning a battle, so it is easy to stop before it triggers; no interaction data is supplied (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Average 2.67 copies per deck with no garnet or lock restriction; the partner list is spread across archetypes (observed from decks evidence). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Extender primary; no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live across 18 archetypes and 24 recent decks, so it is a practical body rather than a niche pick.
- Battle-trigger effect adds a second Level 4 body from the Deck, so one successful battle yields a +1 body.
- Level 4 WATER Dinosaur is a generic material body that still converts when its effect is negated.
Weaknesses
- Effect needs a battle win, which is an extra condition and easy to stop before it triggers.
- No negation, removal or hand-trap effect of its own.
- No combo or starter evidence, so the conversion value rests on text alone.
Counters / choke points
- Effect negation before the battle destruction resolves.
- Cards that prevent or redirect battle destruction.
