Target 1 Rank 4 Spellcaster Xyz Monster in your GY; Special Summon it (but negate its effects), then Special Summon 1 Rank 5 Spellcaster Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck, by using it as material, and if you do, attach this card to the Summoned monster (this is treated as an Xyz Summon). You can only activate 1 "Rank-Up-Magic Magical Force" per turn.
Rank-Up-Magic Magical Force — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 51 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 52 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
The card reliably converts a Rank 4 Spellcaster Xyz already in the Graveyard into a Rank 5 Spellcaster Xyz from the Extra Deck, with itself attached as material, so it extends a board by one Xyz at roughly neutral card cost. Its access is conditional: it needs a Rank 4 Spellcaster in the GY and a matching Rank 5 in the Extra Deck, and the text supplies no searcher or GY-setup route. High deck counts (129 decks, 100% inclusion in Performage) confirm it is a consistently played Performage staple and raise deck-level scores only modestly; they do not show it is intrinsically strong. No combo boards were supplied, so combo conversion rests on text inference alone.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Conditional on a Rank 4 Spellcaster Xyz in the GY plus a Rank 5 Spellcaster in the Extra Deck; live in 129 decks but 1 copy typical (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | Text yields one Rank 4 to Rank 5 Xyz with an overlay unit, a single upgrade rather than a full board; no combo examples supplied (verified text, inferred magnitude). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Spends one card and recovers a GY Rank 4 while producing a Rank 5 body, roughly even card economy with mild recursion (verified text, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal or disruption; it is a Quick-Play that only summons (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | Not a body; attaches as an overlay unit that may serve later Xyz material (verified text, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Single-copy Quick-Play that can be stopped by common hand traps such as Ash Blossom, the top partner in decks (observed deck partners, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Non-garnet, one copy in most decks, no self-lock, but the Spellcaster Xyz restriction narrows where it fits (verified text, observed copies). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 52, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Quick-Play Xyz route that turns a GY Rank 4 Spellcaster into a Rank 5 with little card cost
- Near-universal inclusion in Performage decks (100% in the usage statistic) and frequent placement alongside Performage staples
- Single-copy, non-garnet slot
Weaknesses
- Conditional on a Spellcaster Rank 4 in the GY and a matching Rank 5 in the Extra Deck
- No self-generated access, so it depends on other cards to set up
- Negates the GY Xyz it targets, so the Rank 4 cannot be used afterwards as material
- Heavy reliance on Spellcaster Xyz choices limits flexibility
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and other hand traps that respond to Quick-Play activations
- Floodgates or GY hate that removes the Rank 4 Spellcaster target
Best use
Extra Deck Xyz extender from the GY. Decks: Performage, Performapal. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: targets a Rank 4 Spellcaster Xyz in the GY, Special Summons it negated, then Special Summons a Rank 5 Spellcaster Xyz from the Extra Deck using it as material, and attaches this card to it; Quick-Play, once per turn restriction stated in text
- Observed: 129 decks, 98.4% in gameplay type 7; 1.29 average copies per deck (81 Performage, 27 Performapal); Usage statistics: 100% inclusion in Performage at 1 typical copy; Top partners include Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (93.8%) and Performage cards
- Inferred: Extender role and the GY-recovery secondary role follow from the text; Subscores on combo, resilience and deckbuilding are text-based estimates with no combo data; Spellcaster restriction narrows deck fit
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) deck data reports 16 distinct archetypes but lists only 10; the top-10 breakdown was used for the analysis no rulings supplied for the negate-then-summon sequence
