Add 1 "Armored Xyz" card from your Deck or GY to your hand, then you can make up to 2 face-up monsters you control become all Level 3 or all Level 5, until the end of this turn. During your Main Phase, except the turn this card was sent to the GY: You can banish this card from your GY, then target 1 Xyz Monster Card treated as an Equip Card in your Spell & Trap Zone; Special Summon it. You can only activate 1 "Xyz Entrust" per turn.
Xyz Entrust — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 60 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium

Why it scores here
Xyz Entrust is a one-card searcher for Armored Xyz that also sets up to two face-up monsters to Level 3 or Level 5 for Xyz summons, so its value is in enabling the Xyz line rather than in any body or interaction of its own. It is live in 66 sampled decks across 21 archetypes, with strong partner co-occurrence (Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer 98.5%, Full-Armored Xyz 95.5%), which supports the accessibility and deck-synergy scores. Its GY banish effect gives a recursive second use, but with no combo data the conversion score stays moderate. High ATK or card count did not earn points; the score reflects a conditional, once-per-turn enabler that cannot itself interact with the opponent.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 78 | Adds a specific Armored Xyz from Deck or GY to hand and is present in 66 of 66 sampled decks, though 36% of them are Shark (verified text, observed deck stat). |
| Combo & Conversion | 58 | No recorded combo boards, so the Xyz conversion from the Level 3/5 change is text-only inference (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | A 1-for-1 search, plus a self-banish from the GY that Special Summons an Xyz monster treated as equip, which gives a recursion-style second use (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No opponent-facing negation, removal, or disruption in its text (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | A Spell with no body; the Level change only indirectly affects monsters used as Xyz material (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | The GY effect works from the graveyard and the search is a single resolution, but the activation is limited to one per turn and only in the Main Phase (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Average 1.27 copies per deck, mostly single copies, and no banlist token supplied so it is assumed unlimited; the Armored Xyz target is a dependency to be played (observed deck stat, inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 61, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Weaknesses
- Spell with no body and no opponent-facing interaction
- Once per turn, and the GY effect is limited to the Main Phase
- Value depends on the Armored Xyz target and the Xyz line being built
- No combo evidence to confirm starter or conversion behaviour
Counters / choke points
- No counter names are supplied in the evidence; the activation can be stopped by any response, but none are named here

- 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
