Target 1 "Purrely" Xyz Monster you control; Special Summon from your Extra Deck, 1 "Purrely" Xyz Monster with a different Rank, by using that target as material, but return it to the Extra Deck during the End Phase of the next turn. (This is treated as an Xyz Summon. Transfer its materials to the Summoned monster.) You can banish this card from your GY, then target up to 3 "Purrely" monsters in your GY; shuffle them into the Deck. You can only activate 1 "Purrelyeap!?" per turn.
Purrelyeap!? — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 46 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery / Recursion · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
The card is a Purrely-only Trap whose two effects are an Xyz rank swap through the Extra Deck and a graveyard banish that shuffles up to 3 Purrely monsters back into the Deck. Its value is recursion and rank-shifting inside one archetype, not disruption or card advantage. The 73.2 average power index comes from Mimighoul boards where the card is present but never the starter, searched, or material piece, so that figure earns no points. Its ATK/DEF and the 100% partner rate do not raise the score; the partner rate only shows it is archetype-locked.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Needs a face-up Purrely Xyz to target, and the GY effect needs the card itself in the graveyard; it is never a starter or searched card in the 6 recorded combos (inferred from text and combo data; 0% starter role, 0% searched-for role). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Effect 1 swaps a Purrely Xyz for a different-Rank Purrely Xyz and effect 2 recurs up to 3 Purrely monsters, but the recorded boards show no role for it (observed from combo data, 6 appearances; the rank-swap route is inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Effect 2 banishes the card from the GY to shuffle up to 3 Purrely monsters back into the Deck; this is recursion of material, not net card advantage (inferred from text; netCardAdvantage not tied to this card). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The text grants no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach; it is a Trap with a Purrely-only recursion effect (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Trap cannot be used as Xyz material, and its graveyard body has no material role in the recorded boards (verified from card frame and combo data material role 0%). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | The GY effect works from the graveyard, which gives some multi-zone reach, but it is limited to once per turn and the effect is archetype-bound (verified from text; 0% end-board). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Runs 1 copy in most decks (avg 1.34, 286 of 400 decks at 1 copy) with no garnet or lock text beyond the Purrely requirement; it is a clean slot in Purrely lists (observed from deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 46, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype-locked restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Rank-shifting Xyz swap through the Extra Deck with a return on the next End Phase
- GY-banish recursion that shuffles up to 3 Purrely monsters back into the Deck
- Near-universal inclusion across Purrely lists (400 of 400 decks run it, avg 1.34 copies)
Weaknesses
- Archetype-locked: no value without a face-up Purrely Xyz
- Trap timing and the once-per-turn limit cap how often it can be used
- No negation, removal, or starter role in the recorded combos
Counters / choke points
- Trap negation (inferred from the Trap frame; the text itself does not state it)
- Opponent responding to the Xyz swap or the GY banish before resolution (inferred from text)
Best use
Recovery / Recursion; rank-shift support for Purrely Xyz lines. Decks: Purrely (archetype 958), Purrely (archetype 1364). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Xyz rank swap via Extra Deck and GY banish that shuffles up to 3 Purrely monsters into the Deck, once per turn; card frame trap; 400 of 400 decks run it, avg 1.34 copies; Purrely archetype inclusion 87.5–100% in usage statistics
- Observed: 0% starter role, searched-for role, material role, payoff role across 6 combos; Average power index 73.2 when present, confounded by Mimighoul boards
- Inferred: Activation location of effect 1 (not stated in the text); Trap negation as the main counter; Rank-swap route as the main combo use
- Data gaps: no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) combo data has no combo role tags, so combo roles rely on the aggregate counts only
