Xyz Energy — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 53 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 52 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal/Negation
Why it scores here
Xyz Energy converts a board with an Xyz monster carrying material into a single destruction of one face-up opponent monster, with no type, ATK or level restriction stated in the text. Its score comes from that one-for-one interaction and from being live in 17 recorded decks across 9 archetypes at about one copy each, not from any combo or card-advantage evidence, since none was supplied. It is not a board-building card, and its dependence on an Xyz monster with material on the field caps accessibility and resilience.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Live in 17 recorded decks across 9 archetypes, but the text needs an Xyz monster with material already on the field, so it is not a reliable opening-hand card (observed deck presence; the field requirement is verified from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | No combo boards supplied, and the text only destroys one monster, so it builds nothing on its own (verified from text; no combo stats). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Spends one Xyz material and itself to destroy one monster, an even card trade with no draw, search or refuel (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 60 | Destroys any face-up opponent monster with no stated restriction, a flexible single-target removal, though it is a spell with no negation (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A spell with no material value, and its detach cost only spends material rather than producing it (verified from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A single-target spell that needs a live Xyz monster, so one negate or a lost Xyz body ends it; redundancy is only from multiple copies in deck (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | One copy in most decks (13 of 17 at 1 copy) and no garnet or lock cost, so it is cheap to run (observed from deck copies and text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary Removal/Negation profile; no secondary role blended. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 52, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Destroys any face-up opponent monster, with no type, level or ATK restriction in the text
- Only cost is one Xyz material, so it is cheap to activate once an Xyz is on the field
- Played in 17 recorded decks across 9 archetypes, so it is not limited to one home
- Usually run at one copy, which keeps deck cost low
Weaknesses
- Needs an Xyz monster with material already on the field, which limits when it can be used
- One-for-one with no card advantage, refuel or board building
- Timing is not stated in the evidence, so its speed relative to opponent responses is unknown
- Spell with no negation, so a single response can stop it
Counters / choke points
- Generic spell negation (inferred; no specific counter cards are named in the evidence)
- Removing or bouncing the Xyz monster holding the material before activation (inferred from the field requirement)
Best use
Removal. Decks: Red-Eyes, Kashtira, Archfiend, Dododo. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Destroys one face-up opponent monster on resolution, costing one Xyz material (card text); Spell card with no stated negation or search component (card text)
- Observed: Present in 17 recorded decks across 9 archetypes, mostly at 1 copy (deck stats)
- Inferred: Usable mainly with an Xyz monster already on the field (inferred from the material cost); Generic spell negation is the main answer (inferred from role)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no timing (speed) wording in the description no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion inferred from the deck sample only
