Virtual World Dragon - Longlong — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
The card's value is a conditional negation: it detaches 2 materials to negate a monster effect, but only when the activated monster's Attribute is absent from the opponent's field and they control a face-up monster. Its targeting protection while it holds Xyz Material adds some resilience. The card is live in 157 sampled decks, mostly as a single copy, which earns accessibility and deckbuilding points. Its high-value frame and rank 3 ATK 2400 earn nothing by themselves, and the lack of any combo sample keeps combo conversion and resource economy low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 68 | Appears in 157 of 157 sampled decks as a main-deck single copy, across 58 archetypes, with a Virtual World summon route noted in the guide (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | No recorded combo boards; the guide only says Extra Deck Virtual World monsters depend on board state, so conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | Negation costs 2 Xyz Materials and there is no GY refuel, banish, or draw text in the description (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 55 | Negates monster effect activations, but only when the attribute check against the opponent's field is met and they control a face-up monster (verified). |
| Material Utility | 25 | Rank 3 Xyz body with no recorded material use in combos; the material-side value is inferred from the Level/Attribute profile (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Cannot be targeted by card effects while it has Xyz Material, but the once-per-turn negate costs material and the card is exposed to ordinary removal (verified, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Mostly one copy per deck (avg 1.08 copies) with no garnet or lock text, so the slot cost is light (observed, verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Removal / Negation profile, no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths

Weaknesses
- Negate is conditional on the opponent's monster attribute check
- Costs 2 materials per use, with no GY recovery
- No recorded combo evidence to confirm practical conversion
Counters / choke points
- Monster removal or Xyz-material detachment before the negate window
- Opponents whose field shares the activated monster's Attribute, which makes the negate unavailable
Best use

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Cannot be targeted by card effects while it has Xyz Material; Quick Effect: detach 2 materials to negate a monster effect activation when the Attribute is not on the opponent's field and they control a face-up monster; Once per turn negate clause; Rank 3 EARTH Wyrm XYZ, ATK 2400 / DEF 2000
- Observed: 157 of 157 sampled decks run it as a main-deck card; Average 1.08 copies per deck across 58 archetypes; Gameplay-type spread 56% / 27% / 15% / 2%
- Inferred: Accessibility via Virtual World Extra Deck summon routes, from guide text; Material-side value is limited by a Rank 3 Xyz profile; Deck resilience is moderate because no starter-count data exists
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for archetype inclusion no rulings supplied for the attribute-check timing legal copies is empty, so 3 copies is assumed guide evidence is a single snippet
