Infinitrack Fortress Megaclops — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Removal
Why it scores here
The card's value comes from one once-per-turn effect: it Special Summons a Xyz Monster from the GY and attaches one opponent card to it as material, which is a recursion plus soft removal. Its 4000 ATK and Link-3 body earn no points. The main positives are immunity to non-Xyz monster effects and single-copy deck cost. The main limits are the dependence on a Xyz Monster in the GY and the lack of any recorded combo evidence, which keeps the score in the middle band with a wide uncertainty.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Link-3 Extra Deck body that needs a Xyz Monster in the GY to do anything; it is in 400 sampled decks across 52 archetypes, so the route is practical but conditional (inferred from text plus decks_evidence). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The effect converts one GY Xyz into a board presence plus an opponent-card material steal, but combos_evidence has zero boards, so conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | One recursion of a GY Xyz plus an opponent card taken as material gives roughly +1 net card on a successful activation, once per turn (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | Attaching an opponent card as material is a soft interaction rather than destruction, and the damage halving only lasts this turn (verified from text; strength is inferred). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Link monsters are generally usable as Xyz material, but the evidence shows no as_material appearances, so this is inferred only (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 65 | Unaffected by non-Xyz monster effects and cannot be destroyed by battle except by Xyz monsters, which is strong against monster-based interaction (verified from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Single-copy usage (398 of 400 sample decks run 1 copy), no garnet or lock, and the formats field lists TCG, OCG and MasterDuel (observed from decks_evidence, verified from card data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Removal/Negation. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Unaffected by non-Xyz monster effects (verified from text)
- Cannot be destroyed by battle except by Xyz monsters (verified from text)
- Recovers a Xyz Monster from the GY and steals an opponent card as material, once per turn (verified from text)
- Single-copy, no garnet, legal in TCG, OCG and MasterDuel (verified from card data and decks_evidence)
Weaknesses
- Needs a Xyz Monster in the GY to activate (verified from text)
- Once per turn, and the damage halving only lasts for the current turn (verified from text)
- No recorded combo evidence, so board conversion is unmeasured (verified from combos_evidence)
- Deck inclusion is measured only in a card-restricted sample, so frequency cannot be read as strength (inferred)
Counters / choke points
- Non-Xyz monster effects cannot affect it, per its text (verified from text)
- Spell/Trap removal and non-battle destruction are not restricted by its text (inferred)
Best use
Xyz recursion with a board body and opponent-card material steal. Decks: Numeron, Tenpai Dragon, Sky Striker, Infinitrack. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Unaffected by non-Xyz monster effects, cannot be destroyed by battle except by Xyz monsters (card text); Once-per-turn effect: Special Summon a Xyz Monster from the GY and attach an opponent card as material (card text); Legal in TCG, OCG and MasterDuel; 1 copy in 398 of 400 sampled decks (card data, decks_evidence)
- Observed: Present in 400 sampled decks across 52 archetypes; top partners are Called by the Grave (75.5%) and Harpie's Feather Duster (71.2%) (decks_evidence); Guide mentions place it in Extra Deck sections as Link support (guides_evidence)
- Inferred: Recursion plus material steal gives roughly +1 net card on a successful activation (text-based); Link monsters are generally usable as Xyz material (general rule, not in evidence); The deck sample is restricted to decks containing the card, so inclusion rate is not measurable (inferred from matched_reference)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) deck sample is restricted to decks containing the card, so population inclusion rate is unknown no rulings supplied for the link-summon and material-attach interactions usage_statistics covers only 4 archetypes with small sample sizes
