[ Pendulum Effect ] Xyz Monsters you control gain 100 ATK for each Xyz Material on the field. You can target 1 "Materiactor" Xyz Monster you control; attach this card to it as material, then draw 1 card. You can only use this effect of "Prima Materiactor" once per turn. [ Monster Effect ] ''An alien life form that suddenly flew in from the heavens far away. Many researchers have tried to determine its true identity, but its luminosity and the miasma emitted have long shrouded its existence in mystery, making it extremely difficult to see the full extent of its existence. Recently, however, a number of new species have been discovered by up-and-coming researchers, and it appears that the full extent of the species' existence is finally being revealed.''
Prima Materiactor — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 62 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 62 · Deck: 62 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Prima Materiactor's score comes from being a clean Level 3 Light Dragon Normal body that converts into Xyz material and draws a card when attached to a Materiactor Xyz. Its Xyz ATK boost and the Monster Effect block are not the score drivers: the Monster Effect block is flavor text on a Normal monster, and the ATK boost is only a Pendulum-zone bonus that needs Xyz monsters on the field. The 289-deck footprint is real and confirms the card is consistently played in the Materiactor core, but it is a consistent body inside that theme rather than evidence of intrinsic strength, so the score is held close to the middle of the scale.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Live in 289 of the sampled decks with 1.65 copies on average, but no combo or searcher route is recorded and the card is only a generic Normal body outside the theme (observed, inferred) |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | No recorded boards and no combo examples; the only conversion is one attach-and-draw that feeds a Materiactor Xyz, so this is text-only inference (inferred) |
| Resource Economy | 65 | Attaching the card as material and drawing 1 is roughly a +1 card exchange once per turn, as stated in the card text (verified) |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | The card has no negation, removal, or disruption effect in its text (verified) |
| Material Utility | 85 | A Level 3 Light Dragon Normal monster is a clean Rank 3 Xyz material, and its usefulness as material does not depend on its effect (verified, inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | The draw effect needs a live Materiactor Xyz and is once per turn, so it is fragile to interaction; the Normal-body material role still survives being blanked (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Plays as 1 to 2 copies with no garnet or lock and a 97-98% co-occurrence with the Materiactor core, which is cheap to run (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body / Normal + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 62, Deck ≈ 62, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean Level 3 Normal body that converts into Rank 3 Xyz material
- Attach-and-draw gives a small, repeatable card gain once per turn
- Cheap to run: 1 to 2 copies, no garnet, widely shared with the Materiactor core
Weaknesses
- No recorded combo boards, so its conversion value is text-only inference
- No effect interaction and no protection beyond being a body
- Its draw needs a live Materiactor Xyz monster, which is a narrow condition
- Guide context describes the deck as weak against the current meta (speculation, does not move the score)
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the Pendulum-zone effect
- Board wipes or Xyz removal that leaves no Materiactor Xyz to attach to
Best use
Material body with draw-on-attach. Decks: Materiactor (archetype 912), Materiactor (archetype 2174), Rank 3 Xyz lines such as Goblin Biker and Tenpai Dragon. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Pendulum Monster, Level 3, Light Dragon, pendulum scale 1, ATK 0 and DEF 0 from the card record; Pendulum effect text: Xyz monsters gain 100 ATK per Xyz Material on the field; Pendulum effect text: target 1 Materiactor Xyz, attach this card to it as material, then draw 1; once per turn; The Monster Effect block is flavor text on a Normal monster
- Observed: In 289 of the sampled decks, 1.65 copies on average, distribution 143 at 1, 105 at 2, 41 at 3; Materiactor archetype 912 in 98 decks (33.9%) and gameplay type 7 in 78.2% of decks; Top partners include Materiactor Exareptor at 97.9% and Materiactor Exagard at 97.2%
- Inferred: A Level 3 Normal body is a generic Rank 3 Xyz material, which is why the material axis is high; Usefulness depends on a live Materiactor Xyz, so the draw route is narrow
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no meta sample, so meta power is null
