Number 83: Galaxy Queen — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Battle protection, Piercing enabler
Why it scores here
Number 83: Galaxy Queen is a situational board extender that provides one turn of battle indestructibility plus piercing damage, making it valuable in damage-race strategies within Level-1-generating archetypes like Lyrilusc and Floowandereeze. Its Rank 1 Xyz requirement and material-heavy summoning cost limit accessibility to specific homes, but it appears in 29 distinct archetypes and is searchable via One for One. However, the lack of recurring resource generation, single-turn protection window, and absence from recorded combo boards prevent it from scoring higher; it serves as a meta answer rather than a combo driver.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Requires 3 Level 1 materials, but appears in 56 decks across 29 archetypes (verified); One for One tutors it (observed), and Lyrilusc decks generate Rank-1 materials natively (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No combos supplied for empirical verification; text indicates single-turn battle protection plus piercing rather than multi-turn board building (inferred); zero combo board appearances (verified). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Costs 3 Level 1 materials to summon and 1 material per activation with no refund or draw—pure −1 in material economy (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | Grants battle indestructibility and piercing damage, which is soft conditional interaction useful in aggro mirrors but not hard negation or universal disruption (verified). |
| Material Utility | 70 | Rank 1 Xyz with Dark/Spellcaster typing; even if blanked, serves as acceptable overlay material despite 500 ATK/DEF (inferred from format staples). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Effect lasts until opponent's next End Phase only; one-turn protection window with no recursion, recovery, or multi-zone presence (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Appears in 56 decks mostly as 1 copy; searchable via One for One (37.5% co-deck rate); niche Level 1 Xyz requirement limits splashability but is met by 29 archetypes (verified and observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role: Extender (no secondary blend needed). Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (decks present, no combos)
Strengths
- Provides battle indestructibility and piercing damage in a single card effect
- Searchable via One for One, making it accessible within Level 1 Xyz-generating strategies
- Rank 1 Xyz requirement is satisfied by multiple archetypes (Lyrilusc, Floowandereeze, Skull Servant)
- Effective in damage-race and aggro-focused game plans
Weaknesses
- Requires 3 Level 1 materials to summon (niche requirement, not generic)
- Pure material cost with no resource refund or card advantage generation
- Effect duration is limited to one turn (until opponent's End Phase)
- Low ATK/DEF (500/500) means the body itself poses no threat
- Zero presence in recorded combo boards suggests it is not a linchpin in established lines
- Situational effect (only relevant when attacking Defense Position monsters)
Counters / choke points
- Quick-effect removal or bounce before the battle phase
- Negation of the Xyz summon itself (Solemn Strike, similar hand traps)
- Going-second hand traps interrupting Level 1 material generation (Ash Blossom)
Best use
Situational board piece for battle-driven strategies. Decks: Lyrilusc, Floowandereeze, Skull Servant, Drytron, Other Rank-1 generators. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: detach 1 material → battle indestructibility + piercing damage for 1 turn; Summoning requirement: 3 Level 1 Xyz Materials; Deck sample: 56 decks across 29 distinct archetypes; Top partners: One for One (37.5% co-deck rate), Lyrilusc Assembled Nightingale (33.9%); Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks; No combo boards recorded (0 appearances)
- Observed: Appears in 56 decks mostly as 1 copy; some 2–3 copies in niche strategies; Strongest presence in Lyrilusc (8.9–5.4%), Skull Servant (10.7–3.6%), Floowandereeze (10.7%); One for One synergy suggests searchability is leveraged across homes
- Inferred: Primary role is Extender: provides board protection as a lasting effect, not a starter; Rank 1 Xyz requirement is satisfied by archetype-specific material generation (e.g., Lyrilusc produces Rank-1s as a byproduct); Accessibility is moderate: niche requirement but proven across 29 distinct archetypes; One-turn protection window limits resilience; useful as a meta answer in specific matchups
- Data gaps: No combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference; card's role in board-building sequences unknown No guides supplied — no human expert context on deployment strategy No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from 56-deck sample only (may not represent historical consistency) No banlist status — assumed unlimited (3 copies) in all formats
