Rank-Up-Magic Quick Chaos

Rank-Up-Magic Quick Chaos — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 61 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 55 · Deck: 60 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Combo enabler, Utility

Why it scores here

Rank-Up-Magic Quick Chaos is a specialized board extender that upgrades an existing "Number" Xyz Monster into its "Number C" counterpart while preserving attached materials. Its score reflects strong deckbuilding efficiency (71 archetypes embrace it with zero locks or restrictions) and solid accessibility in Xyz strategies, but limited resource economy (no advantage generation), minimal opponent interaction, and complete dependence on a pre-summoned Number monster restrict the ceiling. Quick-Play timing and consistent 304-deck adoption confirm real utility; however, the absence of combo evidence leaves combo conversion unverified.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: Primary role: Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 60, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype breadth (2); Quick-Play reactive capability (1). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (decks present, combos absent)

Strengths

• Quick-Play Spell Speed 2 allows reactive board upgrades mid-combo or during opponent's turn
• Carries over all Xyz Materials from target to upgraded monster, maintaining board momentum without resource loss
• Extremely portable: 71 archetypes run it with zero deckbuilding locks or archetype restrictions
• Consistent adoption in Xyz strategies: 77.6% of runs in Xyz-focused decks; 100% inclusion in several niches (Gagaga, Utopia, Dododo)
• Minimal slot cost: 1-3 copies with no garnet or brick concerns

Weaknesses

• Requires an existing "Number" Xyz Monster on field to function; completely dead without setup
• No card advantage, draw, or resource generation; purely a board pivot without economy
• Fragile result: upgraded monster inherits all vulnerabilities from the original if removed quickly
• Limited to "Number" archetype pool; targeting restriction prevents generic splashability
• Combo depth unverified: no combo data supplied prevents confirmation of practical extension power or board depth

Counters / choke points

• Removal of the target monster before resolution (e.g., Ash Blossom on the preceding Xyz Summon)
• Removal of the upgraded Number C Monster immediately after the card resolves
• Negation of the upgraded monster's effects (does not prevent upgrade, but neutralizes tactical payoff)

Best use

Mid-combo board upgrade to activate Number C effects or transition into higher-Rank Xyz monsters. Decks: Battlin' Boxer (54 decks, 17.8%), Shark (41 decks, 13.5%), Galaxy Photon (21 decks, 6.9%), Gimmick Puppet (17 decks, 5.6%), Utopia (10 decks, 3.3%).

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Card is a Quick-Play Spell targeting exactly one "Number" Xyz Monster you control (excluding "Number C" monsters); Special Summons one "Number C" from Extra Deck with same number but +1 Rank by using target as Xyz Material; Carries over all Xyz Materials from target monster to upgraded monster; Appears in 304 recent decks across 71 distinct archetypes (deck evidence); 77.6% of runs in Xyz-focused decks (gameplay type 7); 100% inclusion in Gagaga, Utopia, Dododo, Chaos Chimera
• Observed: Average 1.53 copies per deck (min 1, max 3); 188 decks run 1, 70 run 2, 46 run 3 (deck evidence); Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One co-appears in 38.2% of decks (highest synergy with another Rank-Up card); Number C105 and Number 105 co-appear in 24.0–24.3% (primary Number C targets in Battlin' Boxer); Heaviest inclusion in Battlin' Boxer (17.8%) and Shark (13.5%); lighter in Galaxy Photon, Gimmick Puppet, and 61 other archetypes
• Inferred: Quick-Play timing allows mid-combo upgrades (your turn) and reactive board pivots (opponent's turn); Number C forms typically carry improved effects vs base Number monsters (from archetype design pattern, not explicitly stated); Minimal resource cost: no draw, GY refuel, or advantage generation (text inspection); Niche applicability: only viable in decks with "Number" Xyz monsters as core engine (text targeting restriction)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo conversion depth, any starter role, and practical board extension power are unverified; assessment is text-only inference No banlist status provided: assumed 3 copies unlimited across all formats No specific "Number C" targets listed: which upgraded forms exist and their effect differences are external to evidence No tournament performance data: top-card status is false; no actual rankings or top-card finishes available No competitor comparison: performance vs other Rank-Up-Magic variants (only Rank-Up-Magic - The Seventh One at 38.2% co-include noted)
