Hyper Synchron — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 60 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium

- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Hyper Synchron scores as a Level 4 LIGHT Tuner body: its main value is the Tuner and level it provides for Synchro Summons, which decks run across 14 archetypes. Its text adds only a Graveyard-triggered +800 ATK and End Phase banish for a Dragon-type Synchro, a narrow condition that earns little on its own and no recorded combo presence. The card has no interaction, no card advantage, and no recorded boards, so the score rests on material utility and near-free deckbuilding cost, not on its 1600 ATK or its popularity.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Present in 54 of 54 sampled decks at about 1.07 copies each, but no searcher route is named in the evidence and it never appears in a combo (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | The text converts into a +800 ATK buff and banish on a Dragon Synchro only when it is sent to the Graveyard, and there are zero recorded combo boards (verified text, inferred conversion). |
| Resource Economy | 20 | No draw, search, or recursion is printed on the card, and it generates no card advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no negate, removal, or hand-trap effect (verified). |
| Material Utility | 75 | A Level 4 LIGHT Machine Tuner is a clean generic Synchro material, and the Graveyard effect still works once its body is on the field (verified text, observed as Tuner partner in 90.7% of decks). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Its Graveyard trigger spans zones, but as a Tuner it is exposed to field-side negation and has no redundancy printed (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | Runs one copy in almost every deck, is not a garnet or lock, and takes a single slot (observed, verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 61, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean generic Tuner body for Synchro Summons, live in 54 sampled decks
- Near-free deckbuilding: single copy, no garnet or lock cost
- Broad homes: 14 distinct archetypes
Weaknesses
- Its Graveyard effect is narrow, restricted to a Dragon-type Synchro Summon
- No recorded combo boards, so combo conversion is text-only inference
- No interaction, card advantage, or self-protection
Counters / choke points
- Field-side negation of the Tuner body before it is used as material
Best use
Tuner material for Synchro Summons, with the Graveyard effect as a bonus when a Dragon is the Synchro target. Decks: Synchron, Crimson Dragon, Psy-Frame, ABC. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 4 LIGHT Machine Tuner, ATK 1600 / DEF 800; Graveyard effect: +800 ATK to a Dragon-type Synchro Summon, End Phase banish; 54 of 54 sampled decks run it, 1.07 copies average
- Observed: Tuner partner of Tuning in 90.7% of decks; 14 distinct archetypes across the sampled decks; Gameplay type 7 in 70.4% of decks
- Inferred: Accessibility depends on Synchron and Tuner searchers not named in the evidence; Field-side negation is the main threat to the Tuner body
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion % is inferred from the deck sample only
