During your opponent's Main Phase, if you control a "Genex" monster (Quick Effect): You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then, immediately after this effect resolves, you can Synchro Summon 1 "Genex" Synchro Monster. You can only use this effect of "R-Genex Turing" once per turn. This card on the field can be treated as a Level 1 or 3 monster when used for a Synchro Summon of a "Genex" Synchro Monster.
R-Genex Turing — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
R-Genex Turing is a hand-only Quick Effect that Special Summons itself during the opponent's Main Phase, then Synchro Summons a Genex Synchro. Its value comes from converting a hand card into a board presence and a Synchro, not from interaction, so the 20 effect-interaction score is low. Its Tuner body (Level 2, or Level 1 or 3 for Synchro purposes) is a clean Genex material, which earns the material score. The 1500-level ATK/DEF (600/600) and the card's text length earned no points. Heavy Genex deck inclusion (74.7% of decks in the Genex archetype) confirms accessibility and deck fit, not intrinsic power, so it moved the deck score only modestly.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Live from hand on the opponent's Main Phase, but gated on controlling a Genex monster; the Genex archetype runs it in 183 of 245 decks at 1.38 copies on average (verified text, observed decks). |
| Combo & Conversion | 62 | Summons itself and then a Genex Synchro, a two-body conversion from one card, but no recorded boards exist so the conversion is text-only (inferred; no combo evidence). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Hand-to-field-plus-Synchro is roughly even card economy with no draw, search or graveyard refuel in the text (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 20 | No negation or removal; a Quick Effect Special Summon is tempo, not interaction (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 65 | Tuner that is Level 1 or 3 for Synchro purposes, DARK Spellcaster, a generic Genex material fit; the level change is an effect, so the body stays a Level 2 Tuner when blanked (verified text, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | One copy in hand, once per turn, and dependent on a Genex monster being on field; limited redundancy across zones (inferred from text, observed decks). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Dedicated Genex card with no garnet, but it needs the Genex base to be playable; splashing is not realistic, and most decks run 1 copy (observed from copies distribution 160 of 245 at 1 copy). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Material body / Normal. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand-only Special Summon with no on-field requirement beyond a Genex monster
- Converts one card into a board body plus a Genex Synchro
- Clean Tuner material with Level 1 or 3 flexibility, still a Level 2 Tuner when blanked
- Present in 245 recent decks, with near-universal co-occurrence with core Genex cards
Weaknesses
- Requires a Genex monster on field, so it is dead in hand without the archetype base
- No interaction value; a Quick Effect Special Summon does not answer the opponent's board
- Once-per-turn use means the same card cannot repeat its line in a turn
- Score depends on Genex deck context; it does not stand alone outside that archetype
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps or negation that answer a Quick Effect during the opponent's Main Phase (inferred from text)
- Interruptions to the Genex monster it needs on field to activate (inferred from text)
Best use
Starter / Tuner for Genex Synchro. Decks: Genex. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand-only Quick Effect Special Summon during opponent's Main Phase, conditional on a Genex monster, once per turn (card text); Can be treated as Level 1 or 3 for Genex Synchro Summons (card text); Present in 245 decks, 74.7% of them Genex archetype (decks_evidence)
- Observed: Average 1.38 copies per deck, mode 1 copy (160 of 245) (decks_evidence); Co-occurs at 99.6% with core Genex partners (top_partners); Genex-type guide (Hướng Dẫn Chơi Genex) describes the deck as hand-trap reliant and notes its once-per-turn Link 1 restriction (guides_evidence)
- Inferred: Starter role is real in practice, but there are no combo boards to confirm it (no combos_evidence); Blanking the effect leaves a Level 2 Tuner that still works as Synchro material; Counters limited to hand traps and field disruption, since no matchup data supplied
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no meta sample — meta_power is null guide snippet is archetype-level, not card-specific
