Hyper Galaxy — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 64 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 62 · Deck: 65 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Removal
Why it scores here
Hyper Galaxy converts a board with one opposing 2000+ ATK monster and one of your own into a Special Summon of Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, so its value is the Dragon it reaches and the removal of the opposing monster it forces. Its ATK-based targeting and its status as a Quick-Play Spell do not earn points on their own. The score is held down by its requirements (a 2000+ ATK tribute on your side and a 2000+ ATK target on theirs), its once-per-turn limit, and its vulnerability to spell negation.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Present in 400 of 400 recent decks at 1.12 average copies, but it needs a 2000+ ATK monster on your side to tribute, so it is not a free hand play (observed; text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 75 | Appears in 2 of 2 recorded combos with power_index 100, and each combo ends with Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon on board (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Trades one of your 2000+ ATK monsters for the opposing one and then adds a Dragon from hand, Deck, or GY, with netCardAdvantage of 4 and 6 in the example boards (observed; inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | Forces the removal of an opposing 2000+ ATK monster through a tribute, but it is a targeted once-per-turn effect with no negation or flexible answer (verified text; inferred). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell Card, so it is never usable as material and contributes no body (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | It is a Quick-Play that can be used on the opponent's turn, but it is once per turn and a single spell negation ends it (verified text; inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | One copy in most decks at no garnet cost, but it is a dedicated slot for a Galaxy-Eyes engine (observed; inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 62, Deck ≈ 65, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Included in all 400 sampled decks, so the Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon line is reliably accessible
- Converts one of your 2000+ ATK monsters into the removal of an opposing one, then into a Dragon Special Summon
- Appears in every recorded combo sampled (2 of 2), with high structural power_index
Weaknesses
- Needs a 2000+ ATK tribute on your side and a 2000+ ATK target on theirs
- Once per turn, so it cannot repeat in one turn
- Its value depends on the Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon line and the Photon package around it
- Cannot be material and adds no body if negated
Counters / choke points
- Spell negation on activation
- Opposing monsters below 2000 ATK, which leave the effect with no legal target
- Any response that removes or banishes your 2000+ ATK monster before tribute
Best use
Starter / removal enabler for Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon. Decks: Galaxy Photon, Resonator, Black Luster Soldier. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: tribute a 2000+ ATK monster (except Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon), target and tribute an opposing 2000+ ATK monster, then Special Summon Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon from hand, Deck, or GY; Once per turn; Spell Card, not material; Present in 400 of 400 decks; 1.12 average copies
- Observed: Appears in 2 of 2 recorded combos with power_index 100; Top partners include Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon at 99.8% of decks; Inclusion 100% in archetype 378 (Galaxy Photon)
- Inferred: Primary role is a Starter that converts into the Dragon, with removal as a secondary role; Negating the spell removes its value in that turn
- Data gaps: No guides supplied No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Only 2 recorded combos, so combo evidence is thin Conflict: combos_evidence.as_starter count is 0, but both example boards report starterCount 1 and role_in_combo is empty
