Xyz Bento — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 51 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 52 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Xyz Bento converts opponent losses into a single Xyz material (taken from the opponent's GY) and can reposition one Extra Deck monster from the GY. Its value depends on the opponent destroying or sending monsters to the GY, and the evidence has no combo boards showing it converting that into a winning board. Its broad deck footprint (50 of 50 sampled decks, 21 archetypes, mostly 1 copy) supports a solid but middling score, and the high deck count is not treated as evidence of power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 50 | Present in all 50 sampled decks at an average of 1.4 copies, but its trigger requires opponent monster losses and no starter/searched data exists (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The text yields one Xyz material per trigger with no board or combo evidence of a larger payoff (verified text, combos absent). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | No draw or search; it removes an opponent GY monster while using itself, so card economy is roughly even (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | Limited interaction: denying one opponent GY monster and a battle-position change, with no negation or removal (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A Trap card, so it is not a material body; any material value is only the Xyz it feeds (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Its GY effect (banish to change one Extra Deck monster's position) can be used from the GY, which adds some recovery; no interaction data (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Mostly 1-copy inclusion across 21 archetypes with no garnet or lock restriction (observed deck stats). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 52, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Attaches an opponent GY monster as Xyz material, which fuels an Xyz while denying the opponent that card
- Its GY effect can reposition a monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck
- Portable across 21 archetypes, with Xyz Import (58%) and Garura (50%) as the most common partners
Weaknesses
- Needs the opponent to lose a monster by battle or GY send before it does anything
- Only targets Xyz Monsters you control, so it has no value in non-Xyz lines
- Position change is a minor effect; no combo boards show it changing the outcome
Counters / choke points
- Any generic trap or monster negation effect (inferred from card type)
- Opponent lines that avoid losing monsters, so the trigger never happens (inferred)
Best use
Utility trap / Xyz material generator. Decks: Xyz-focused decks built around Xyz Import, Garura, Wings of Resonant Life shells. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: opponent-monster trigger attaches an opponent GY monster as material to an Xyz Monster you control; Card text: GY banish changes the battle position of one monster Special Summoned from the Extra Deck; Deck evidence: 50 decks, 21 archetypes, average 1.4 copies, distribution 1:34, 2:12, 3:4
- Observed: Present in 50 of 50 sampled decks, all in main deck (gameplay 7); Xyz Import co-occurs in 58% of decks; Garura in 50%
- Inferred: The GY-banish effect works from the GY, providing some recovery; Trap-based trigger keeps the effect reactive rather than proactive
- Data gaps: No combo evidence: starter, searched, material and payoff frequencies are unknown No guides supplied No usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for inclusion % beyond the deck sample Activation/set timing for the trap is not stated in the evidence No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
