X-Head Cannon — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 58 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body
Why it scores here
X-Head Cannon is a vanilla Level 4 Machine Normal Monster with no effect text in the supplied description, so it reliably converts into material or a body and nothing more. Its score comes from being a generic Level 4 material that 400 of 400 sampled decks run as a single copy across 36 archetypes, with the strongest partners being Xyz and Union support. The 1800 ATK earns nothing, and the deck frequency confirms accessibility and a cheap slot, not strength; the absence of combo and guide evidence keeps the score in the middle.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Run in 400/400 sampled decks as a single copy, so it is reliably drawn as a body, but it has no searcher or starter route in the evidence (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 20 | No combo boards recorded and no effect text, so it builds nothing on its own; conversion is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | A 1-for-1 body with no draw, search, or GY refuel in the text, so it yields no card advantage (verified, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect, so no negation, removal, or disruption (verified). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Generic Level 4 Machine Normal, a clean material for the Xyz and Union partners it runs with, and it stays a plain body even under negation (observed, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | No effect to negate, but it is a plain body that dies to any removal and has no recursion or multi-zone use (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | One copy in 397 of 400 decks, no garnet or lock, and it fits across 36 archetypes at almost no slot cost (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal primary; no secondary role blended. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (decks present, combos absent, meta unknown)
Strengths
- Clean generic Level 4 Machine body that fits Xyz and Union material needs
- Single-copy slot cost, no garnet or lock, runs in 36 archetypes
- Still a body when any effect would be negated
Weaknesses
- No effect text, so no interaction, card advantage, or board conversion
- Not searchable and has no starter or extender role
- Dies to any removal and offers no recursion
Best use
Level 4 Normal material body for Xyz and Synchro lines. Decks: ABC, Therions, Synchron, Cyber Dragon, Galaxy Photon. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster frame, Level 4, Machine, LIGHT, 1800 ATK / 1500 DEF; No effect text in the supplied description; Run as a single copy in 397 of 400 sampled decks
- Observed: Present in 400/400 sampled decks across 36 archetypes; ABC inclusion 100% in usage statistics; Frequent partners are Xyz and Union support cards
- Inferred: Reliable material body that converts even when negated; Material use is supported by Xyz and Synchro partners rather than by combo evidence
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion and starter/material rates are text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) description reads as flavor text, so the effect profile relies on frame_type normal
