Once per turn: You can target 1 Insect monster you control with a Level; this turn, you can treat it as a Tuner if used as Synchro Material. You can only activate 1 "Battlewasp Wind" per turn.
Battlewasp Wind — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 60 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 58 · Deck: 62 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Battlewasp Wind's value is repeatable search: each Battlewasp Normal or Special Summon lets it add a lower-ATK Battlewasp from the Deck, twice per turn, which turns a summon-heavy board into card advantage. It also grants Tuner status to an Insect for Synchro, a small utility. It has no interaction and no body of its own. The score does not come from the 400/400 deck inclusion or the 100% inclusion rates, which show the card is consistently played in its own archetype, not that it is intrinsically strong. Those numbers confirm access only, and the absence of combo data keeps the conversion axis and confidence in the middle band.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Played from hand as a Continuous Spell in all 400 sampled decks (1.61 copies average), but no searcher route to it appears in the evidence (inferred; deck presence is observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Converts each Battlewasp summon into a search, but no recorded boards exist to confirm how far it builds (inferred from text; combo count is 0). |
| Resource Economy | 75 | Up to two searches per turn, each taking a lower-ATK Battlewasp from the Deck, gives repeated card advantage (verified from text; repeat frequency is inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | Has no opponent-facing negation, removal, or disruption (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | Is a Spell with no body. Its only material-adjacent effect is granting Tuner status to a leveled Insect for Synchro (verified from text, inferred value). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Sits face-up on the field and can be removed by spell-removal; it triggers on any Battlewasp summon, so it has no single point of failure in the summon line (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | One-copy-leaning slot, no garnets or locks, and the one-per-turn restriction does not hurt redundancy (verified copies distribution 1:160, 2:237, 3:3; typical 2 in usage statistics). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Starter/Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 62, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Repeatable search that converts Battlewasp summons into card advantage
- Nearly free to run: no garnets, locks, or self-restriction beyond one activation per turn
- Tuner grant gives an Insect extra Synchro utility
Weaknesses
- No opponent interaction or board impact
- Needs Battlewasp monsters on the field to do anything
- Only lower-ATK targets can be searched, which limits the search package
Counters / choke points
- Spell removal or continuous-spell destruction
- Going second without Battlewasp summons leaves it as a dead spell in hand
Best use
Continuous searcher for Battlewasp summons. Decks: Battlewasp, Beetrooper, Ragnaraika, Inzektor. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: twice-per-turn Battlewasp search, once-per-turn Insect Tuner grant, one activation per turn; 400 of 400 sampled decks run it (1.61 copies average); usage statistics: 100% inclusion in Inzektor, Battlewasp, and Beetrooper with typical 2 copies
- Observed: 94.5% of decks are gameplay type 7; Top partners are Battlewasp monsters at 91.8–100% co-occurrence
- Inferred: The search line is the card's main value; no other route to it is evidenced; Repeated searches give real card advantage
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) legal copies is empty for both TCG and OCG formats no meta sample supplied
