1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters Monsters with less ATK than this card cannot attack, also neither player can activate the effects of face-up monsters on the field with more ATK than this card. If this card in your possession is destroyed by your opponent's card and sent to your GY: You can target 1 Tuner and 1 non-Tuner monster in your GY with the same Type and Attribute as each other; add them to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Hyper Psychic Riser" once per turn.
Hyper Psychic Riser — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 60 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 61 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Floodgate/Control · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
The card's value is a field-wide ATK threshold: monsters with less ATK than it cannot attack, and face-up monsters with more ATK cannot have their effects activated by either player. That earns the high effect_interaction score, but only while it stays on the field and only against higher-ATK monsters. Its recursion (adding a Tuner and non-Tuner pair from the GY when an opponent's card destroys it) adds some resource value, but it is conditional and once per turn. Its 2000 ATK and 600 DEF earned no points, and the 400/400 deck inclusion is frequency evidence that confirms accessibility rather than raw strength.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Synchro-gated, but it appears in all 400 sampled decks across 78 archetypes and partners with Ash Blossom and Called by the Grave (observed; no combo starter data to confirm a live route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | No recorded boards and no combo examples, so any board conversion is text-only inference and the card does not add bodies or a payoff by itself (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | The opponent-destruction clause returns a Tuner and non-Tuner pair from the GY to hand, but it is conditional and once per turn (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 70 | The ATK-threshold attack lock and the activation lock on higher-ATK face-up monsters target high-ATK bosses from both sides, though they depend on the card staying on the field (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | Level 6 Psychic EARTH with no Tuner status; it is a weak material body for Synchro and the text gives no material-use evidence (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | The GY recursion helps only when an opponent's card destroys it; removal by other means ends the lock with no return (verified from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | One copy in 394 of 400 decks (observed); it is a single Extra Deck slot with no garnet or lock restriction in the evidence (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Floodgate/Control + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 61, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Field-wide ATK threshold lock restricts high-ATK monsters from both players
- Opponent-destruction recursion returns a Tuner and non-Tuner pair from the GY
- Single-copy inclusion in all 400 sampled decks across 78 archetypes
- Partner cards Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Called by the Grave appear in roughly 67-70% of its decks
Weaknesses
- Field-based: destruction or removal by other means ends the effect
- Recursion requires an opponent's card to destroy it; it is conditional and once per turn
- Requires a Synchro Summon with Tuner and non-Tuner materials
- Weak as a material body; no combo evidence of board conversion
Counters / choke points
- Removing or destroying the card from the field ends the lock
- Monsters with ATK equal to or higher than this card's ATK are not restricted from attacking
Best use
Floodgate/Control with recursion; a single-copy Extra Deck staple. Decks: P.U.N.K., Psy-Frame, Nordic, Assault Mode, Adventurer Token, Gold Pride. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: ATK-threshold attack lock and higher-ATK effect-activation lock (card text); Opponent-destruction GY recursion of a Tuner and non-Tuner pair, once per turn (card text); Level 6 Synchro, EARTH Psychic (card data)
- Observed: Appears in 400 of 400 sampled decks, 1.01 average copies (decks evidence); 78 distinct archetypes; top archetypes P.U.N.K. 20.8% and Psy-Frame 10.5% (decks evidence); Partner rates: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 70.2%, Called by the Grave 67.2% (decks evidence)
- Inferred: Weak material value for Synchro and Xyz (from Level and non-Tuner status); Lock value is strongest against high-ATK boss monsters (from the threshold text)
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference All 400 sampled decks contain the card, so the sample may be selection-biased and the inclusion rate cannot be read as meta share No usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only No banlist token; copy limit assumed 3 No rulings supplied for the ATK-comparison and possession clauses Guide evidence is an Aromage guide that does not mention this card (its co_card_ids do not include 99115354)
