Deskbot 003 — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 66 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 62.5 · Deck: 67.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor, Material body
Why it scores here
Deskbot 003 is a Level 3 Earth Machine that, on Normal Summon, Special Summons another Deskbot from the Deck, so it converts one hand card into a board of two bodies. Its once-per-turn quick effect pumps a Deskbot by 500 ATK/DEF per Deskbot controlled, which adds board presence but no interaction. Its 500 base ATK/DEF earned no points; the score comes from the Normal Summon-into-Deck body, its 3-copy staple status across 214 decks, and its clean deckbuilding cost.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 78 | A Level 3 Normal Summonable body that runs 3 copies in 171 of 214 decks, so it is reliably in hand (observed; the Normal Summon route itself is verified from text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 62 | Text lets it Special Summon a second Deskbot from the Deck, a fair two-body conversion, but no combo boards were supplied to confirm further reach (verified text; conversion depth inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 62 | Nets roughly +1 card on Normal Summon (its own body plus one Deck Deskbot) with no GY refuel or recurring draw (verified text; net value inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 12 | No negation, removal, or disruption in the text; the only effect is a stat pump for own monsters (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | Level 3 Earth Machine is a usable Synchro/Xyz material, but its text is Deskbot-specific and its material use is not measured because no combo data exists (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Its Normal Summon trigger and once-per-turn pump are single-zone and single-turn, with no recursion or redundancy in the text (verified text; resilience inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Runs 3 copies in most decks with no garnet or lock, and 9 Deskbot partners give redundancy in its home archetype (observed from decks_evidence). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Searcher / Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 62.5, Deck ≈ 67.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Normal Summon body that Special Summons another Deskbot from the Deck, a 2-body conversion
- Live in 214 recent decks at 3 copies on average, across 34 archetypes
- Clean, low-cost deckbuilding with heavy partner redundancy inside the Deskbot shell
Weaknesses
- Zero effect-based interaction; the quick effect only pumps own monsters
- No combo boards in evidence, so its conversion depth beyond one extra body is unmeasured
- Deskbot-specific text limits use outside its own archetype family
Counters / choke points
- No counter data in evidence; interaction against its Normal Summon trigger is inferred from text only
Best use
Starter: Normal Summon body that Special Summons another Deskbot from the Deck. Decks: Deskbots (archetype 134), Deskbots (archetype 972). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Summon: Special Summon 1 Deskbot from Deck, except Deskbot 003; Once-per-turn quick effect: +500 ATK/DEF per Deskbot controlled to one target Deskbot; Level 3 Earth Machine, 500/500
- Observed: In 214 recent decks; 3 copies in 171 of them; top partner Deskbot 005 in 82.2% of decks; usage_statistics: 100% inclusion in both Deskbots archetypes at 3 copies typical
- Inferred: Two-body conversion on Normal Summon is reliable in its home archetype; Material use as a Level 3 Earth Machine is practical but unmeasured
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no combo as_starter / as_material statistics, so starter role is text-inferred no rulings or interaction data for the Normal Summon trigger usage_statistics covers only 2 archetypes guide evidence is a single snippet
