Xeno Meteorus — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 61 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 59 · Deck: 63 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Xeno Meteorus is a Level 6 Tuner whose main-phase effect swaps one Dinosaur in hand or field for a Dinosaur Normal Monster from hand or Deck, which is an even card exchange that converts a Dinosaur into a specific body. Its hand Special Summon on destruction gives it a reactive body, and the Extra Deck summon restriction is a real cost on the turn it is used. The 2000 ATK does not earn points; the score rests on the even-exchange conversion, the Tuner body, and the 38-archetype spread in the sample. No combo boards were supplied, so combo conversion is text-based inference and is capped.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Hand Special Summon needs a destruction event and the main-phase effect needs a Dinosaur plus a Normal Dinosaur in hand or Deck, so it is not a guaranteed opening-hand play; it appears in 400 of 400 sampled decks with 1.08 average copies (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | The main-phase effect converts one Dinosaur into one Dinosaur Normal Monster, and top partners such as Miscellaneousaurus and Ultimate Conductor Tyranno suggest a real route, but no combo boards exist to confirm the payoff (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The main-phase effect is a one-for-one swap (destroy one Dinosaur, add one Normal Dinosaur from Deck), and the hand summon adds a body on destruction, so advantage is roughly even (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 20 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in its text; interaction is limited to a reactive summon after a destruction event (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 65 | It is a Level 6 FIRE Dinosaur Tuner, so it is a usable Synchro material and remains a Tuner if its effects are negated (verified from text, with partner evidence observed). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | The hand Special Summon can trigger from either battle or card-effect destruction and works across hand and field, but there is no counter-protection beyond that (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Three copies are assumed legal with no garnet or lock restriction beyond the Extra Deck summon limit on the turn it resolves, and average use is about one copy per deck (observed, with banlist assumed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 59, Deck ≈ 63, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 6 Tuner that is a clean Synchro material
- Even-exchange Dinosaur-to-Dinosaur conversion available in main phase
- Hand Special Summon on destruction gives a reactive body
- Broad sample spread across 38 archetypes
Weaknesses
- Dinosaur-restricted text limits portability
- Main-phase effect has a real cost: no Extra Deck summons for the rest of the turn
- No negation or removal in its text
- Combo conversion cannot be confirmed without boards
Counters / choke points
- Effect negation would remove the swap and hand summon but leave the Tuner body
- Non-Dinosaur hands and boards cannot use the main-phase effect
Best use
Starter / Combo enabler with Tuner body for Dinosaur lines. Decks: Jurrac, Evol, Transcendosaurus, Dinomist, Dinowrestler. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 6 FIRE Dinosaur Tuner with ATK 2000 and DEF 200 (card data); Main-phase effect destroys one Dinosaur in hand or field and Special Summons one Dinosaur Normal Monster from hand or Deck (card text); Hand Special Summon triggers when a card is destroyed by battle or card effect (card text); Extra Deck summons are restricted for the rest of the turn except for Dragon, Dinosaur, Sea Serpent, or Wyrm (card text); Once-per-turn per effect (card text)
- Observed: Appears in 400 of 400 sampled decks at 1.08 average copies (deck data); Top partners include Miscellaneousaurus at 94.5% and Ultimate Conductor Tyranno at 92.5% (deck data); Transcendosaurus and Dinos show 100% inclusion in StatisticsCard data (usage statistics)
- Inferred: Accessibility is conditional on Dinosaur targets rather than live in every opening hand; Combo conversion is text-based because no boards were supplied; Resilience is limited to the hand summon and multi-zone use
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) decks running it in the Main Deck equals total decks (400 of 400) while archetype breakdown sums to fewer decks, so the sample scope is unclear guides evidence is Vietnamese snippets only and gives no measured performance
