Star Drawing — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 55 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Star Drawing's value is as a Level 4 Spellcaster body that its own text upgrades to Level 5 for Xyz Summons, and any Xyz it joins gains a one-card draw on Xyz Summon. It is live in 65 recent decks at 2.35 copies on average, mostly in Utopia lists, which confirms accessibility but does not by itself make it strong. The card has no opponent interaction and no recorded combo boards, so its conversion score rests on text-only inference and the Level 5 shift is lost if the effect is negated.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Run in 65 of 65 recent decks at 2.35 copies on average, so it is reliably in hand, though no searcher or starter data is supplied (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | No combo boards are recorded, so conversion is limited to text: an Xyz gains a draw on Xyz Summon, which is a modest one-card payoff (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | The only card-advantage text is a single draw that requires the Xyz it feeds to be Xyz Summoned, with no refuel or recursion (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 55 | Its Level 4 body becomes Level 5 for Xyz purposes through its own effect, so the level shift is lost if it is negated, while the Level 4 body still works as material (verified text, inferred negation case). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A single negate removes both the Level 5 treatment and the gained draw, and no redundancy source is supplied (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | It is a plain monster with no garnet or lock restriction and is run in 3-copy blocks across 17 archetypes, so it is cheap to include (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal profile; no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 55, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 4 body that its own text treats as Level 5 for Xyz Summons
- Gives any Xyz it joins a one-card draw on Xyz Summon
- Cheap to run: plain monster, no garnet or lock restriction
- Live across 17 archetypes, anchored in Utopia lists
Weaknesses
- No opponent interaction of any kind
- Level 5 treatment and gained draw both disappear if the effect is negated
- Card-advantage payoff depends on the Xyz being Summoned
- No recorded combo boards to confirm starter or payoff role
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the card's effect removes the Level 5 treatment and the Xyz draw
- Board-wipe or mass-destruction effects that remove the Xyz before the draw resolves
Best use
Level 4 Xyz material that becomes Level 5 and feeds a draw into the Xyz. Decks: Utopia, Gunkan, K9, Exosister. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 4 Spellcaster EARTH 1600/1000 Effect Monster with the Level 5 treatment for Xyz Summons; Gained Xyz Summon draw effect for Xyz Monsters that used it as material
- Observed: 65 of 65 recent decks run it, averaging 2.35 copies, mostly in Utopia lists; Appears in 17 distinct archetypes and two gameplay types
- Inferred: Level 5 treatment and the draw are both lost if the effect is negated; Practical conversion is a one-card draw per Xyz Summon, not a board-building engine
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
