Ultimate Conductor Tyranno

Ultimate Conductor Tyranno — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 65 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 64.2 · Deck: 69.8 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Board breaker, Removal

Why it scores here

Ultimate Conductor Tyranno scores as a genuine Dinosaur payoff rather than a stat monster: in all 5 recorded combos it sits in the end board (100% end-board appearances) with an average power index of 85.4 and net card advantage of +3 to +4, and it converts that board into a recurring once-per-turn flip-down of the opponent's entire face-up field plus an attack-everything sequence that burns 1000 and sends Defense Position monsters to the Graveyard without destroying them. Its 3500 ATK is worth nothing by itself in this rubric — the points come from being a reachable, disruptive end-board boss inside a Dinosaur shell where Souleating Oviraptor (94% co-deck) can add it and Double Evolution Pill can summon it past its condition. The ceiling is held down by the banish-2-Dinosaurs-from-Graveyard summon requirement, which makes it dead without Dino setup, leaves it with no self-protection, and locks it into Dinosaur decks. High ATK, DEF and popularity were explicitly not scored.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Board breaker/Going-second. Intrinsic ≈ 64.2, Deck ≈ 69.8, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Graveyard-setup dependency (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Strengths

• Boss-level disruption: once per turn, during either player's Main Phase, it destroys a monster in hand or field to flip every face-up monster the opponent controls face-down.
• Non-destruction removal: it attacks all opponent monsters once each, and each attack on a Defense Position monster burns 1000 and sends that monster to the Graveyard, dodging destruction protection and destruction-trigger floating.
• Recorded as the end-board payoff in 100% of its combos (5/5) with an average power index of 85.4 and +3 to +4 net card advantage.
• Multiple practical access routes in Dinosaur decks: Souleating Oviraptor's Dinosaur search (94% co-deck) and Double Evolution Pill, which summons it ignoring its condition (65% co-deck).
• A 3500 ATK / 3200 DEF Level 10 body still functions as a battle threat and Rank 10 material even when its effect is negated.

Weaknesses

• Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set and must first be Special Summoned by banishing 2 Dinosaur-Type monsters from the Graveyard — a dead card without Dinosaur Graveyard setup.
• No built-in protection or negation; a single negate or removal effect answers it.
• Dinosaur-locked: it cannot be played in decks that do not produce Dinosaur Graveyard fodder, so it is not a generic splash.
• Its flip-down effect is only usable in a Main Phase while it is face-up, so it does nothing on the turn it is answered or while face-down.

Counters / choke points

• Effect negation aimed at its summon or its flip-down activation (Infinite Impermanence, Solemn cards).
• Graveyard disruption that denies the two Dinosaur banishes (for example banishing/countering Souleating Oviraptor or Miscellaneousaurus lines before it can be summoned).
• Non-targeting removal or tribute-type removal (Kaiju-style tributes, board breakers) that does not care about its ATK.
• Preventing it from being Special Summoned at all (summon-negation or anti-Special-Summon floodgates).

Best use

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Card text: Cannot be Normal Summoned/Set; must first be Special Summoned from hand by banishing 2 Dinosaur-Type monsters from the Graveyard.; Card text: once per turn, during either player's Main Phase, destroy 1 monster in hand or field to change all face-up opponent monsters to face-down Defense Position.; Card text: can attack all monsters the opponent controls, once each; at the start of the Damage Step against a Defense Position monster it may inflict 1000 damage and send that monster to the Graveyard.; Card identity and stats: Level 10 LIGHT Dinosaur, 3500 ATK / 3200 DEF, no archetype, legal in TCG/OCG/MasterDuel/DuelLinks.
• Observed: 400 of 400 sampled decks run it in the main deck at an average of 1.27 copies (295 decks run exactly 1).; 43 distinct archetypes register it, dominated by Dinosaur themes: Jurrac 20.5%, GMX 19.2%, Evol 12%, Dinos 9.5%, Transcendosaurus 8%.; Top partners: Miscellaneousaurus 98.5%, Souleating Oviraptor 94%, Fossil Dig 93%, Evolzar Dolkka 85%, Double Evolution Pill 65%.; Combos: 5 appearances, 100% in the end board, 0% as starter/searched/material/payoff, average power index 85.4, best example power index 100 with 3 end monsters, 2 bosses and +4 net card advantage.; Usage statistics: 100% inclusion in Dinowrestler, Dinos, True Draco, Jurrac and Hazy Flame samples (high inclusion confirms play rate, not intrinsic power).
• Inferred: Souleating Oviraptor can add Ultimate Conductor Tyranno because it is a Dinosaur-Type monster.; Double Evolution Pill can Special Summon it while ignoring its own summoning condition.; Flipping the opponent's face-up monsters face-down prevents them from being used as Xyz/Synchro/Link material and turns off their on-field effects.; Sending a Defense Position monster to the Graveyard at the start of the Damage Step bypasses destruction protection and destruction-triggered floating effects.; Once properly Special Summoned, it is no longer bound by its 'must first be Special Summoned' clause and can be revived from the Graveyard.
• Data gaps: no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) combo sample is very small (5 appearances) and carries no starter role/searched-for role/payoff role tags, only end-board appearances no dated metagame sample, so meta power is null/provisional usage statistics mixes large Dinosaur archetypes with tiny 100%-inclusion samples (True Draco, Hazy Flame), which may be small-sample noise guides are snippet-only and provide no quantified combo steps for this card
