Infinitrack Earth Slicer — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 63 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 62 · Deck: 64 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Removal
Why it scores here
Infinitrack Earth Slicer is a Rank 9 Xyz that is not summoned from hand and does not start combos on its own, so its accessibility is only moderate. Its value comes from the detach effect, which destroys any number of cards on the field for materials, plus a battle-based material gain and a once-per-turn GY revival. Observed boards put it at the payoff and end-board stage in 2 of 5 combos, with an average power index of 64.4, and it is a single-copy staple in 400 decks. Its 3100 ATK and Level 9 body earn no points by themselves; the score rests on the removal conversion and the deck's use of it.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Needs two Level 9 monsters for Xyz Summon and is never a starter or searched card in the combo sample (0 starter role, 0 searched-for role), so access depends on the Infinitrack and Machina engine (verified text, observed combos; 45 is an inferred midpoint). |
| Combo & Conversion | 70 | Appears in 5 of 5 recorded boards with average power index 64.4 and is payoff/end-board in 2 of them, with the detach-destroy effect closing out boards (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | The battle-based attach converts an opponent's monster into material, and boards it appears in show netCardAdvantage of +2, but detaching materials to destroy is a real cost (verified text, observed combos). |
| Effect & Interaction | 65 | Detach-to-destroy can clear several cards at once, but it is once per turn, uses materials, and offers no negation, so interaction is strong but not flexible (verified text, inferred). |
| Material Utility | 35 | Evidence does not show it being used as material by other cards, and as a Machine Xyz it has no clean generic material role (inferred from text; no material role observations). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Its GY effect allows Special Summon in Defense Position with a Machine Link tribute, and its two effects are separate once-per-turn options, giving some recovery across zones (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Runs as a single copy in 375 of 400 decks with no garnet or lock restriction, and the Machine Link tribute cost is only a light restriction (observed deck stats, verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Removal (Board breaker profile). Intrinsic ≈ 62, Deck ≈ 64, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Destroys several opponent cards at once by detaching materials, a flexible board-clearing effect
- Converts an opponent's battled monster into its own material, so the card gains from exchanges
- Usually in a Machine Xyz board, so it has a recurring GY route after it leaves the field
- Single-copy deck footprint with no garnet or lock burden
Weaknesses
- Not a starter and not searched in the combo sample, so it depends on Xyz Summon from a Level 9 pair
- Both effects are once per turn, which limits repeated use
- Detaching materials to destroy costs board presence
- No negation, so it is weak against lines that go around the field
Counters / choke points
- Board-wide negation or backrow that punishes a field-destruction line (inferred)
- Monster-removal or effect negation that stops the Xyz before the detach effect is used (inferred)
Best use
Boss and board-clearing Xyz finisher in Machine-based Rank 9 lines. Decks: Infinitrack, Machina, Earth Machine, Generaider. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: once-per-turn detach-to-destroy on any number of field cards; Text: battle-based attach of the destroyed monster as material; Text: GY Special Summon in Defense Position by Tributing a Machine Link monster; Stats: 400 decks, 375 at one copy, 51 distinct archetypes
- Observed: Combos: appears in 5/5 boards, payoff/end-board in 2/5, average power index 64.4; Combos: netCardAdvantage +2 on the boards it appears in; Decks: 100% co-run with Infinitrack and Machina partners
- Inferred: Accessibility is moderate because it is not a starter or searched card; Mass-destroy effect is removal-like and acts as a board breaker; Material utility is low because no material role observations exist
- Data gaps: no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no material role or searched-for role combo observations to test the material or search routes no rulings data for interactions with the attached materials
