When your opponent activates a monster effect (Quick Effect): You can discard 1 other card, and if you do, Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is Special Summoned: You can Special Summon 1 "Super Quantal Mech Beast" Xyz Monster from your Extra Deck using this card you control as material (this is treated as an Xyz Summon), and if you do, attach 1 "Super Quant" monster from your GY to it. If this card is sent to the GY: You can add 1 "Super Quant" Spell from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Super Quantum Black Layer" once per turn.
Super Quantum Black Layer — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 62 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 61 · Deck: 66 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
The card reliably converts into a Special Summon from hand plus a Level 7 Xyz Summon of Super Quantal Mech Beast, with a GY-sent search for a Super Quant Spell. Its access is a discard-cost response to opponent monster effects, which is live but conditional and carries a card-disadvantage cost. Its deck evidence is strong (231 decks, 98.7% co-occurrence with Super Quantal Fairy Zetan), but that frequency only confirms accessibility and is not credited as power, and the absence of combo data keeps the combo axis text-inferred.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Hand Special Summon on opponent monster effect activation with a one-card discard cost, plus a GY search; live in 231 decks at 2.47 copies average (verified text, deck stat; combo starter share unavailable). |
| Combo & Conversion | 70 | Summons itself into an Xyz engine with GY Super Quant attach, but no combo boards were supplied so the conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Costs one discard to summon, which is -1, and the GY-sent search returns roughly one card, so net advantage is about even (verified text, inferred net). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | Quick Special Summon response to monster effects with no negation or removal, so interaction is soft and situational (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Level 7 DARK Zombie with an Xyz-material path that remains a body when effects are negated, though its Xyz target is archetype-specific (verified text, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Usable from hand and GY across turns, but each effect is once per turn and the line depends on a single Extra Deck target (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Typically 3 copies with no garnet, though the card is archetype-locked to Super Quant, which costs flexibility in other homes (observed deck stat, inferred slot cost). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Searcher / Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 61, Deck ≈ 66, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype-locked restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live hand Special Summon response to opponent monster effects
- Feeds directly into the Super Quantal Mech Beast Xyz Summon as material
- GY-sent search returns a Super Quant Spell
- Near-universal inclusion in Super Quant decks (98.7% co-occurrence with Super Quantal Fairy Zetan)
Weaknesses
- Requires discarding one card to start the line (card disadvantage)
- Quick response does not negate or remove anything
- Each effect is once per turn, which limits repeat use
- Power depends on the Super Quant ecosystem and does not transfer to other archetypes
Counters / choke points
- Monster effect negation or hand-trap interaction that stops the Special Summon before it resolves
- Floodgates or once-per-turn locks on Special Summons from hand
- Hand disruption that takes the discard fodder
Best use
Starter / Combo enabler with a GY-sent search secondary. Decks: Super Quant. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand Special Summon on opponent monster effect activation with a discard cost (card text); GY-sent search for a Super Quant Spell (card text); Level 7 DARK Zombie Effect Monster with ATK/DEF 2400 (card data); Deck presence: 231 decks, 2.47 copies average, 98.7% co-occurrence with Super Quantal Fairy Zetan (deck stat)
- Observed: Super Quant archetype inclusion 60% and 100% typical copies 3 (usage statistics); Gameplay type 7 in 95.7% of decks (deck stat)
- Inferred: Combo role as Starter and Xyz engine piece, since no combo boards were supplied; Net card advantage about even after the discard cost and GY search; Resilience limited by once-per-turn wording and single Extra Deck target
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
