Deskbot 007 — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 48 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 47 · Deck: 49 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss/End-board · Secondary: Board breaker, Material body
Why it scores here
Deskbot 007 converts Deskbot cards in the Graveyard into ATK (+500 each), which makes it a late-game body with piercing damage and a targeting shield for other face-up Deskbots. The 77-deck sample is strong evidence that it is a live, consistently run piece of the Deskbot engine (100% co-occurrence with Deskbot 002 and 003), but no combo boards were supplied, so its conversion value is text-only inference. Its 500/500 base stats and the high inclusion rate earned no points on their own; the score reflects the GY-scaling effect and the deck context, not the ATK line.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Live in 77 of 77 sampled decks at 1.25 average copies, but it depends on Deskbot searchers that no evidence confirms (inferred; no as_searched data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The ATK scaling and piercing are stated in text, but no combo examples or power_index exist, so the conversion is text-only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | No draw, search, or card advantage is stated; the only value is a GY-count ATK bonus (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | Its targeting protection only guards allied Deskbots against opposing monsters' attack targeting; it is not removal or negation (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 35 | Level 7 Machine Earth is a usable material body on paper, but no as_material data exists (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The ATK scaling and the targeting shield give some multi-turn value, but nothing in the evidence shows it surviving a common interrupt (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 50 | Average 1.25 copies, one-of in most decks, and a Deskbot-only Pendulum restriction limit splashability (observed + verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Boss/End-board primary role, single role (no secondary blend applied to weights). Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Pendulum Summon restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Gains 500 ATK per Deskbot in the GY, so it scales in long games
- Piercing battle damage when attacking Defense Position monsters
- Protects face-up Deskbots from opposing attack targeting
- Widely run in the Deskbot ecosystem (77 of 77 sampled decks)
Weaknesses
- Restricted to Deskbot Pendulum Summons
- Its value depends on Deskbot cards being in the GY
- Its targeting protection only covers allied Deskbots, not itself
- No combo evidence to confirm its conversion
Counters / choke points
- Opponent removal or negation that targets it directly
- Anything that empties or exiles the GY, which removes the ATK scaling
- Monsters that attack past it, since the targeting shield only covers Deskbots
Best use
Late-game attacker / board finisher in Deskbot lines. Decks: Deskbots, Dominus, Morganite. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Pendulum Summon restriction to Deskbot monsters (card text); +500 ATK per Deskbot in GY (card text); Piercing damage vs Defense Position (card text); Targeting protection for face-up Deskbots (card text); Appears in 77 of 77 sampled decks, 1.25 average copies (decks_evidence)
- Observed: Co-occurs with Deskbot 002 and 003 in 100% of sampled decks (top_partners); Usage_statistics: 100% inclusion in Deskbots (gameplay 7) and Deskbot (gameplay 6)
- Inferred: Boss/End-board role from GY-scaling ATK and piercing; Accessibility depends on Deskbot searchers not present in evidence; Targeting protection gives modest resilience but no answer to direct removal
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no searcher or material data for Deskbot cards
