2 Level 4 monsters (Quick Effect): You can detach 1 material from this card; add 1 "Double or Nothing!" from your Deck to your hand, then Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Utopia" Xyz Monster, except "Number 39: Utopia Double", by using this face-up card you control as material, and if you do, its ATK becomes doubled, but it cannot attack directly. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon. Transfer its materials to the Summoned monster.) You can only use this effect of "Number 39: Utopia Double" once per turn.
Number 39: Utopia Double — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 73 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 69 · Deck: 76 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Number 39: Utopia Double enables consistent Rank 4 board extension by searching Double or Nothing! and summoning a second Utopia XYZ; both recorded combos featuring this card achieve maximum power (100) with strong end boards. The card's value lies in enablement and resource generation via search, not in disruption—it provides zero negation or defensive utility. Its zero ATK and reliance on the Rank 4 engine limit its ceiling, but its Quick Effect, lack of brick risk, and splashability across 53+ archetypes make it a staple Rank 4 toolbox card.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 75 | Rank 4 XYZ requiring 2 Level 4 monsters is standard in Gagaga/Onomat decks; appears in 100% of 400 sampled decks and 100% of Yosenju/Utopia per usage statistics. (Observed) |
| Combo & Conversion | 80 | Both recorded combos achieve maximum power index 100 with 3 end monsters each; the card enables summoning a second Utopia XYZ for reliable board extension. (Observed) |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Detaches 1 material to search Double or Nothing! from Deck—a net-zero card economy effect that is resource-neutral but enables combo payoff. (Verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 8 | Card provides zero negation, removal, or disruption; it is purely an offensive board-extension tool with no defensive utility. (Verified) |
| Material Utility | 68 | Rank 4 XYZ body with Warrior type remains usable even when blanked, retaining overlay material value; zero ATK limits utility compared to higher-ATK bodies. (Inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 65 | Quick Effect enables reactive use on opponent's turn for field flexibility; once-per-turn clause and field-dependency constrain upside. (Verified) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 82 | Extra Deck slot incurs zero deckbuilding cost, runs at 1.01 average copies per deck, and is splashable across 53 distinct archetypes—a near-free inclusion. (Observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 69, Deck ≈ 76, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reliable search engine for Double or Nothing!, a critical resource in Rank 4 combos
- Quick Effect timing allows reactive deployment on opponent's turn
- Extends Rank 4 boards reliably into multi-XYZ configurations reaching maximum-power end states
- Splashable across 53+ archetypes with zero brick or lock risk
- Consistent 100% inclusion in Rank 4-centric decks (Yosenju, Utopia) confirms core value
Weaknesses
- Zero ATK and zero disruption—purely offensive tool with no defensive impact
- Requires a prior Rank 4 on field or two Level 4s in hand; not a standalone turn-1 starter
- Once-per-turn clause prevents combo spam and multi-turn reuse
- Field-dependent; board wipes remove the card before follow-up XYZ can establish
- Resource economy is neutral (search offset by detach cost), not positive-advantage
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring negates the search effect, blocking Double or Nothing! addition
- Called by the Grave suppresses the Utopia engine if activated before this card's effect
- Lightning Storm, Raigeki, or other board wipes remove the summoned XYZ before establishing
Best use
Mid-combo extender and search engine for board progression. Decks: Utopia, Onomat, Gagaga, Rank 4 toolbox. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: detach 1 material → add Double or Nothing! from Deck to hand → Special Summon Utopia Xyz by using this card as overlay, ATK doubled, no direct attack; Rank 4 XYZ summon requirement (2 Level 4 monsters); Quick Effect timing (usable on opponent's turn); Once-per-turn effect clause; Appears in 400/400 sampled decks (100% inclusion rate); Mentioned in 6 guides as core Rank 4 toolbox staple; 100% inclusion in Yosenju and Utopia archetypes per usage statistics
- Observed: Appears in 2 recorded combos, both at power index 100; Double or Nothing! is top partner with 95.5% co-deck rate across 400 decks; Synergizes consistently with Gagaga, Onomat, and Utopia support cards; Runs 1.01 average copies per deck; only 3 decks run 2 copies (no over-inclusion); Splashable across 53 distinct archetypes beyond primary Utopia/Onomat homes
- Inferred: Quick Effect enables reactive board extension during opponent's turn, increasing flexibility over sorcery-speed effects; Search of Double or Nothing! enables ATK doubling on summoned Utopia XYZ, creating multi-threat end boards; Extends existing Rank 4 boards into second-XYZ configurations as part of standard combo sequencing; Synergistic with Level 4 generation engines (Gagaga Ganbara Knight, Gogogo Goblindbergh, Onomat searchers)
- Data gaps: Combo role classification missing: card appears in 2 combos but starter role, searched-for role, material role, payoff role are all zero—unclear whether it is pre-board or mid-combo piece Thin combo sample: only 2 combos recorded for a card in 400 decks, limiting confidence in combo-specific analysis Double or Nothing! mechanics not detailed in evidence (external reference card; not a critical gap) No tournament placement or top-deck ranking data (context only, not required for evaluation)
