Vylon Polytope — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 31 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 32 · Deck: 29.4 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Vylon Polytope is a Quick-Play that only re-Special Summons Vylon Equip monsters the controller already has face-up, in Defense Position, with a banish-on-leave clause. It converts an existing Vylon board into a repositioned or refreshed board, but it adds no card advantage, no interaction, and no material value of its own. Its ATK and DEF are zero and irrelevant to the score; the score is limited by the single-deck sample, the absence of combo evidence, and the narrow Vylon-only access route.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | Needs Vylon Equip monsters already on the field, and the one attached deck (Wind-Up) is the only observed home (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Text-only: the effect revives a set of existing monsters rather than building a board from a starter, and there are no recorded boards to confirm it (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | No draw, search, or recursion from the hand or GY; the banish clause is a drawback with no compensating advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap reach; it is not an interaction card (verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell card cannot be used as material, so the card itself contributes no material value (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Quick-Play timing can be responded to, but it works from multiple field zones and in multiple turns when Vylon Equip monsters are present (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | One copy in a single slot, with no garnet or lock restriction and no legal-copy limit recorded (observed, verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 32, Deck ≈ 29.4, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype-restricted access (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap single-copy Quick-Play with no garnet cost
- Revives Vylon Equip monsters in Defense Position on demand
- Banish-on-leave keeps the revived monsters from returning
Weaknesses
- Zero card advantage and no interaction
- Dead when no Vylon Equip monsters are face-up
- Single-deck evidence with no combo or guide support
Counters / choke points
- Generic response to the activation, since it is a Quick-Play spell
Best use
Utility: Special Summon of face-up Vylon Equip monsters. Decks: Wind-Up. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Quick-Play Spell with the stated target, Special Summon, and banish-on-leave text; Archetype is Vylon; legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, and DuelLinks
- Observed: One attached deck (Wind-Up) runs it once, with 15 co-occurring partners; No combo boards, guides, or StatisticsCard usage recorded
- Inferred: Vylon Equip monsters must already be face-up for the effect to do anything; Real value depends on how often a Vylon Equip monster is on the field
- 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 single attached deck — deck synergy and resilience are weakly grounded evidence does not specify the zone of the targeted Vylon Equip monsters
