Why it scores here
Deep Sea Repetiteur is a Level 5 WATER Synchro Tuner whose value comes from its graveyard effect: once it is Synchro Summoned and sent to the GY, it can bring back a Level 5+ WATER monster in Defense Position. Its quick effect (discard a Level 4 or lower WATER to gain 800 ATK once per turn) is a cost-paid pump, not card advantage, and it has no negation or removal. The 1800 ATK earns no points; the score comes from the clean Tuner body, the recursion, and the 400/400 single-copy deck presence inside a WATER shell that is consistent with the archetype rather than with this card's own power. Combo evidence is absent, so the combo axis rests on text inference alone.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Synchro-summon route depends on the text-named Tuner Deep Sea Diva, which does not appear in the top partner list, so access is gated (verified text, observed deck presence). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | No recorded boards exist, so conversion is judged from the text: one Synchro body plus a GY revive of a Level 5+ WATER (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Quick effect costs a discard for an ATK pump (no advantage), while the GY effect is a free revive, netting roughly even (verified text, inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap reach; its GY restriction only limits the controller's own Special Summons (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 70 | Level 5 WATER Tuner that generically fits WATER Synchros and still returns value from the GY after being used as material (verified text, observed partners). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | The GY effect works from the graveyard, but the quick effect and the summon recipe can both be disrupted by a single interruption (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | One copy in all 400 decks and no garnet or lock beyond the own-summon restriction, so it is cheap to run (observed deck copies, verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 5 WATER Tuner with a free graveyard Special Summon of a Level 5+ WATER monster
- Quick effect offers a repeatable ATK pump at the cost of a low-level WATER discard
- Single copy in all 400 sampled decks; cheap to run
Weaknesses
- Synchro recipe requires Deep Sea Diva as the Tuner, which gates access
- Own-summon restriction for the rest of the turn limits follow-up plays
- Graveyard effect needs the card to reach the GY after a Synchro Summon
- No combo evidence, so the combo axis is text-only
Counters / choke points
- Generic negation of the quick effect or the graveyard trigger
- Disruption of the Deep Sea Diva Synchro recipe before the Tuner is summoned
Best use
Tuner with GY recursion in WATER Synchro shells. Decks: Mermail, Atlantean, Deep Sea. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: Level 5 WATER Synchro Tuner; quick effect discards a Level 4 or lower WATER for +800 ATK once per turn; Text: GY effect Special Summons a Level 5+ WATER in Defense Position, once per turn; Text: Synchro recipe names Deep Sea Diva as the Tuner; Deck evidence: 400 of 400 sampled decks run one copy
- Observed: Partner co-occurrence of 88–96% with Atlantean and Mermail staples; usage_statistics inclusion of 66–100% across 3 archetypes at 1 copy
- Inferred: Primary role Extender, with recursion as a secondary role; Combo conversion is limited without recorded boards; Access is gated by the Deep Sea Diva requirement
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Deep Sea Diva is named in the text but absent from the top partner list, so its real presence cannot be verified decks_running_main of 400 is anomalous for an Extra Deck Synchro; verify the data source no searcher or access-route evidence beyond the Synchro recipe
