2003
Send 1 "Xyz" card from your Deck to the GY, except "Xyz Force", or if an Xyz Monster is on the field that has an Xyz Monster as material, you can add the "Xyz" card to your hand instead. During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can banish this card from your GY; detach 1 material from an Xyz Monster on either field, then if the detached material was an Xyz Monster, you can Special Summon that monster from your GY or your banishment, in Defense Position. You can only use each effect of "Xyz Force" once per turn.
Xyz Force — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 49 · Deck: 53 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Xyz Force converts into value mainly through its conditional search (add a 'Xyz' card when an Xyz Monster with an Xyz Monster as material is on the field) and its GY banish that revives a detached Xyz Monster. Its presence in 30 of 30 sampled decks, mostly Shark at 50%, confirms it is a consistent staple, but that frequency was not used to raise the score. No recorded boards exist, so the score rests on text inference and deck fit, and the card does not earn points for being a Spell with no material or interaction value.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Live only once an Xyz Monster with Xyz material is on the field for the search option; the deck-to-GY send is always available but gives no card gain (text + decks, 30/30 main-deck inclusion; combos absent, so inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | No recorded boards and no worked examples, so conversion into a board is text-only: the revive can only Defense-summon a detached Xyz Monster (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Conditional +1 search versus a -1 deck-to-GY send, and the GY banish trades the card itself for a summon, so net advantage is situational (text, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 20 | Only a Main Phase material detach on any Xyz Monster; no negation or removal (text, verified). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell cannot be used as material and its only Xyz tie is the revive path, so its body adds nothing (text, verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Usable from the Deck, the GY and banishment, with two effects each limited once per turn, but Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring co-occurs in 80% of decks (decks, observed). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Typically one copy (avg 1.4, 23 of 30 decks run one) with no garnet or lock, though it is a dead slot without Xyz monsters (decks, observed; text, inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 49, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Consistent Shark staple: in 30 of 30 sampled decks, 15 of them Shark (decks, observed)
- Two routes: a conditional search and a GY banish revive (verified)
- Strong partner fit with Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer (100%) and Xyz Armor Fortress / Full-Armored Xyz (93%) (decks, observed)
Weaknesses
- No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling is unmeasured (data gap)
- Dead without Xyz monsters on the field; the search route needs an Xyz Monster with Xyz material (text, verified)
- Spell with no material or interaction value (text, verified)
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, which co-occurs in 80% of decks and can answer the search or send (decks, observed; interaction inferred)
Best use
Conditional searcher with GY recursion for Xyz lines. Decks: Shark. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: GY-send of a 'Xyz' card from Deck, or conditional add to hand when an Xyz Monster with Xyz material is on the field; Text: GY banish plus material detach, then Defense Special Summon of a detached Xyz Monster, once per turn per effect; Spell card: cannot be used as material
- Observed: Present in 30 of 30 sampled decks; 15 Shark (50%); avg 1.4 copies; Partner co-occurrence: Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer 100%, Full-Armored Xyz 93.3%, Xyz Armor Fortress 93.3%, Ash Blossom 80%; Gameplay: 27 decks type 7, 3 decks type 4
- Inferred: Search route is live mainly in Xyz-heavy lines; Ash Blossom can answer the search or send; Revive is Defense-only, so board impact is limited
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only recency-weighted deck sample not provided
