Sacred Tree Beast, Hyperyton — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 72 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 71 · Deck: 72 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss / End-board · Secondary: Negation / Interaction, Removal
Why it scores here
Hyperyton is a high-impact board finisher with a powerful negate-and-destroy effect that provides crucial disruption in Plant-based strategies. It appears in 400 recent decks across 56 distinct archetypes with near-universal inclusion in primary homes like Rikka, Ragnaraika, and Generaider, confirming strong accessibility within those contexts. However, combo evidence shows it functions primarily as a payoff piece rather than a combo driver (appearing in 20% of boards; average power index 44.1), and its disruption depends heavily on accumulated GY materials. The combination of excellent deck synergy, strong effect quality, and clean deckbuilding efficiency outweighs its slower board-building role, making it a valuable finisher.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 75 | Requires 2 Level 9 monsters; 100% inclusion in Rikka, Aroma, Therion, and Sylvan archetypes; splashes across 56 distinct archetype homes. (verified) |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Appears in only 20% of recorded combo end boards; serves as payoff piece added to completed setups, not a board-builder; average power index when present is 44.1. (observed) |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Effect 1 recycles GY materials to on-field resources for Effect 2; generates no direct card advantage; negation consumes materials without refund or net gain. (inferred) |
| Effect & Interaction | 78 | Quick Effect negate-and-destroy on opponent's turn with flexible material typing (any Monster, Spell, or Trap); no strict timing lock makes it hard to play around. (verified) |
| Material Utility | 68 | 2600 ATK / 1900 DEF body; Level 9 EARTH Plant attributes align with primary archetype support; usable as generic material even when blanked. (inferred) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 72 | Multi-turn disruption presence on opponent turns (once per turn limit); doesn't recover from destruction; resilient once established but front-loaded setup required. (inferred) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Plays as clean 1-of (1.02 average copies) with minimal brick risk; Level 9 requirement is native to all primary homes; splashes widely without garnet concerns. (verified) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Negation/Interaction. Intrinsic ≈ 71, Deck ≈ 72, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Powerful negate-and-destroy effect with flexible material typing; negates and removes cards matching detached material (Monster, Spell, or Trap)
- Extremely splashable: 100% inclusion in 9 core archetypes; plays across 56 distinct homes, especially Plant-based strategies
- Clean 1-of standard inclusion with low brick rate (1.02 average copies) reduces deck tension
- Multi-turn negate presence each opponent turn provides recurring disruption and resource denial
- Strong synergy with recycling and GY-focused archetypes; pairs perfectly with Rikka's opponent-monster-sacrifice mechanic
Weaknesses
- Requires 2 Level 9 monsters to summon; narrow summoning window outside Plant-focused archetypes
- Negate effect is material-dependent; cannot negate activations without matching-type material accumulated in GY
- Combo evidence reveals it's a payoff finisher, not a board-builder; doesn't drive combo progression
- Average combo power index (44.1) is moderate; contributes to boards but doesn't elevate them significantly
- 1900 DEF is relatively low; vulnerable to direct attack strategies and early destruction before material accumulation
Counters / choke points
- Graveyard banish effects (Macro Cosmos, Dimensional Fissure) that block material recycling
- XYZ material stripping effects that deplete accumulated materials
- Dimensional Barrier and similar XYZ summon negation
- Token-spam setups that force Hyperyton to over-consume materials in a single turn
- Going-second board breakers that destroy Hyperyton before materials can accumulate
Best use
End-board finisher providing multi-turn disruption and negate-destroy interaction. Decks: Rikka, Ragnaraika, Enneacraft, Generaider, Aroma, Sunavalon. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: XYZ Rank 9 requiring 2 Level 9 monsters; Quick Effect negates and destroys activations with matching-type material detachment; Appears in 400 recent decks (all main deck) with 1.02 average copies; 100% inclusion in Rikka, Aroma, Therion, Sylvan archetypes; 100% appearance rate across 10 recorded combos; 20% as payoff, 20% in end board, 0% as starter or searcher
- Observed: Average combo power index when present: 44.1 (moderate, not exceptional); Splashes into 56 distinct archetypes; top-paired with Ash Blossom, Rikka pieces, and generic staples; Appears in power-100 boards (Rikka Sunavalon, Snake Rain variants) as finisher, not driver
- Inferred: Effect 1 recycles GY materials to on-field resources, enabling Effect 2 negations over subsequent opponent turns; Disruption potential scales with game length and material accumulation; weak early, strong late-game; Clean 1-of inclusion reflects searchability and dense support in primary Plant archetypes, minimizing brick risk; Negate-and-destroy timing provides reactive, flexible disruption without narrow trigger constraints
- Data gaps: No tournament Top-Card ranking data; cannot confirm priority in competitive top 8 decks Thin combo sample (10 total); unclear whether Hyperyton is essential or interchangeable in recorded lines No explicit archetype tag on card; Plant affinity inferred from deck context only Banlist status unknown; assumed unlimited across all formats (TCG, OCG, MasterDuel)
