1 Tuner + 1+ non-Tuner monsters If this card is Synchro Summoned: Increase or decrease this card's Level by the Level the Tuner used as material had on the field. This card gains ATK equal to its Level x 400. If this Synchro Summoned card is sent to the GY as Synchro Material: Inflict damage to your opponent equal to the new Synchro Summoned monster's Level x 100, and if you do, you can add 1 Level 8 or lower monster with 600 DEF from your Deck to your hand. You can only use this effect of "Cupid Pitch" once per turn.

Why it scores here
Cupid Pitch is a generic Level 4 Synchro Tuner. Its on-Synchro-Summon level adjustment and Level x 400 ATK gain add board value, and when it is sent to the GY as Synchro material it deals Level x 100 damage and can conditionally search a Level 8-or-lower 600 DEF monster. Its presence in all 400 sampled decks, led by Yummy and Ash Blossom and Mulcharmy partners, confirms it is reliably played, not that it is powerful, so frequency did not raise the score. The 3 recorded boards (average power index 16.3, no starter or payoff roles recorded) and the absence of any interaction keep the score in the mid-50s; the ATK gain earned little credit.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Present in 400 of 400 recent decks at one copy in Yummy-led shells, but no recorded combo shows it as a starter or searched piece, so access depends on the deck's own Synchro engine (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Only 3 recorded boards, all titled Exodia, average power index 16.3 with no role tags; the card turns a Synchro Summon into an ATK gain and a GY trigger, but the recorded boards show little board or disruption (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | The GY-send trigger gives one conditional search of a Level 8-or-lower 600 DEF monster plus damage, a single +1 when it fires; the recorded example netCardAdvantage is 0 (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card text contains no negation, removal or hand-trap effect; its only opponent-facing effect is the GY-send damage (verified). |
| Material Utility | 65 | A Level 4 generic Tuner that stays a usable Tuner body even when its effects are negated; no combo stat records it as material (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Its value needs a Synchro Summon to resolve and the card to reach the GY as material, with no recovery route in the text, and it is a single copy per deck (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | One copy per deck, no garnet or restriction, and only a single once-per-turn trigger, so it is cheap to run (verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Generic Level 4 Tuner that fits many Synchro shells
- GY-send trigger adds damage and a conditional search
- Present in every sampled deck at one copy
Weaknesses
- No interaction of its own
- Needs a Synchro Summon and a GY-as-material event to convert
- Thin, mislabelled combo sample; no starter or payoff role recorded
Counters / choke points
- Negating the Synchro Summon effect before the GY trigger resolves
- Banishing or removing the Tuner before it reaches the GY
Best use
Material body (Tuner) with a conditional GY search. Decks: Yummy, Sky Striker, Solfachord. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Level 4 Synchro Tuner, Level x 400 ATK gain, GY-send damage and conditional search, once per turn; Present in 400 of 400 decks at 1 copy each; No banlist token; assumed 3 copies
- Observed: 3 combo boards, average power index 16.3, no role tags recorded; Top partners and archetype spread from deck data
- Inferred: Material-body value when effects are negated; Value of the conditional GY search as a resilience route
- Data gaps: Combo examples are titled 'Exodia' and carry no combo role tags, so the 3-board sample may not reflect this card usage statistics lists 4 archetypes (Black Luster Soldier, The Agent, Kuriboh, Alien) that do not match the Yummy-led deck spread; the two sources disagree No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No rulings data; top-card data is empty
