Why it scores here
Xyz Reception converts one face-up Level monster into a same-Level monster from hand and negates the target's effects, with its ATK and DEF set to 0. The card is a clean, card-neutral exchange that adds a body and removes a target's effect, and it is run across 16 archetypes at about 2 copies per deck. It does not score on ATK or popularity; the score comes from the text-level summon-plus-negate conversion, with no combo data to confirm how far that converts in practice.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Normal Spell live from hand, run in 22 of 22 sampled decks across 16 archetypes at 2.14 average copies, but it needs a face-up Level monster on your side of the field to target (verified; no as_starter/as_searched data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | Converts one target into one same-Level body from hand, a 1-for-1 board exchange with no extra bodies (inference from text; no combo examples supplied). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Spends one card and gets one monster from hand, so it is roughly card-neutral and adds no advantage on its own (inference from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 60 | Negates the effects of a face-up monster and sets its ATK and DEF to 0, which is solid board interaction but sorcery-speed and answerable by a response (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 40 | The summoned monster comes from hand and is not a material body; the card itself is not a material (verified from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Normal Spell that can be negated, and it needs a valid Level target on your field; it is spread across many archetypes, which adds some redundancy (inference from deck spread). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Single Spell with no garnet or lock, and 2 to 3 copies run cleanly alongside common partners such as Monster Reborn (observed from decks_evidence). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Combo enabler + 0.3 Negation/Interaction. Intrinsic ≈ 60.5, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand-to-field summon from a single Spell, live in opening-hand-style turns with no garnet cost
- Negates a face-up monster's effects and sets its ATK and DEF to 0 in the same action
- Runs across 16 archetypes at about 2 copies per deck, so it is portable and not tied to one home
Weaknesses
- Needs a face-up Level monster to target, so it is dead when your field is empty
- Normal Spell that can be negated, and the negation is sorcery-speed rather than hand-trap speed
- Card-neutral rather than card-advantage, so it adds a body but no extra resources
Counters / choke points
- Spell negation (for example, Ash Blossom-style responses are a player-side reference only, not a counter in the evidence)
- Hand traps that stop the summon or the target before the Spell resolves
Best use
Hand-to-field summon paired with a Level monster, with the negation used on a key opposing or self-owned effect. Decks: Dododo, Mystical Beast of the Forest, Scrap, Rokket, Orcust. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: targets a face-up monster with a Level, Special Summons a same-Level monster from hand, and negates the target's effects with ATK and DEF set to 0; Run in 22 of 22 sampled decks at 2.14 average copies, across 16 archetypes; Partner list includes Monster Reborn in 11 of 22 decks
- Observed: Deck spread of 16 archetypes and two gameplay types (ids 4 and 7)
- Inferred: Card-neutral exchange: one spell in, one monster from hand out; Board conversion is a 1-for-1 body plus a negate, with no extra bodies; Sorcery-speed negation is answerable by responses
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
