If your opponent controls a Level 6 or lower monster: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If you have more cards in your hand than your opponent: You can change the battle positions of all monsters on the field, all other Insect monsters on the field become the same Attribute and Level as this card, also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except Insect monsters. If this card is destroyed: You can add 1 Level 8 or higher Insect monster from your Deck to your hand. You can only use each effect of "Asset Mountis" once per turn.

Why it scores here
Asset Mountis converts its Level 7 LIGHT Insect body into value mainly through a conditional hand Special Summon and a search for a Level 8 or higher Insect when it is destroyed. Its 2300 ATK earns nothing. The card is widely played across 16 archetypes, which confirms real use but is not scored as power. Its Insect-only effects, the opponent Level 6 or lower condition, and the non-Insect summon restriction hold it back, and the absence of combo data keeps the combo axis low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Summonable from hand only when the opponent controls a Level 6 or lower monster, which is often but not always true (inferred), and it is in 33 of 33 sampled decks across 16 archetypes (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 42 | No recorded combo boards exist, so conversion rests on text alone: a Level 7 body plus an Insect-level-match effect and a destruction search for a Level 8+ Insect (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The destruction trigger searches one Level 8 or higher Insect, which gives one card of advantage when the card is destroyed (verified text, not yet measured in combos). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect; the battle-position change is a minor board effect (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | A Level 7 LIGHT Insect is a usable material, and its effect can make other Insects match its Level and Attribute, which helps material fit (inferred from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | The destruction search still yields value when it is destroyed, but effect negation or non-destruction removal (banish, send to GY) skips it (inferred from text wording). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 68 | Runs at 1 to 2 copies with no garnet or brick, and its only self-restriction is the non-Insect summon lock on the turn its effect is used (verified text, observed copies). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 53, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck, then -2 self-locking modifier
Strengths
- The destruction search adds a Level 8 or higher Insect to hand, giving value when destroyed
- Level 7 LIGHT Insect body that is a usable material
- Played across 16 archetypes, so it is a portable, practical pick
- Cheap to run at 1 to 2 copies with no garnet
Weaknesses
- Hand summon needs the opponent to control a Level 6 or lower monster, so it is dead on a turn-one or empty-board start
- Most effects are Insect-specific, which limits use outside Insect builds
- Its second effect locks non-Insect Special Summons for that turn
- Almost no opponent interaction
Counters / choke points
- Negating the card stops its effects, including the destruction search
- Non-destruction removal such as banish or sending to the GY does not trigger the destruction search (inferred from the destroyed wording)
Best use
Level 7 Insect body with a hand summon and a destruction search for a Level 8+ Insect. Decks: Egyptian God, Exodia, Ragnaraika, Naturia, Powered Crawler.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: conditional hand Special Summon, battle-position effect with Insect-only effects, destruction search for a Level 8+ Insect, once-per-turn wording on each effect; Formats TCG, OCG and MasterDuel; archetype null; 33 of 33 sampled decks run it, with 25 at 1 copy and 8 at 2 (avg 1.24)
- Observed: Spread across 16 archetypes, led by Egyptian God and Exodia at 6 decks each; Monster Reborn appears alongside it in 57.6 percent of decks; 90.9 percent of decks are gameplay type 7
- Inferred: The hand summon is unreliable when the opponent has no Level 6 or lower monster; Non-destruction removal skips the search trigger; Level 7 LIGHT Insect body is a usable material
- Data gaps: No combo evidence, so combo_conversion and starter/material shares are text-only inference No guides supplied No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No StatisticsCard usage data No card rulings supplied for the timing interactions
