Cannot be used as Xyz Material for an Xyz Summon, except the Xyz Summon of an Insect monster. When you Normal Summon a Level 3 Insect monster: You can Special Summon this card from your hand, then you can make both this card and that monster Level 5 or 7. If this card is Special Summoned from the hand: You can change the battle position of 1 Insect monster you control. An Xyz Monster that was Summoned using this card on the field as material gains this effect. ● This card gains 1000 ATK/DEF.
Digital Bug Registrider — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 7 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 59 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Digital Bug Registrider converts a Level 3 Insect Normal Summon into a free hand-to-field body and a Level 5 or 7 shift, which feeds the Digital Bug Xyz line. Its 1000 ATK/DEF and Level 3 frame earn nothing directly. Its score comes from access and deck fit: it is a 3-copy staple across 15 archetypes in the sample, but there are no recorded boards, so combo conversion is text-only and held near the middle.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Hand-triggered Special Summon on a Level 3 Insect Normal Summon, run at about 2.6 copies per deck in 42 of 42 decks, with 34 decks at 3 copies (observed; the Level 3 Insect enabler is not enumerated, so this is not 100). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | The Level 5/7 shift and Xyz-material fallback indicate a line into Digital Bug Xyz, but there are zero combo boards, so the conversion is text-only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | No draw, search, or recursion; a hand-to-field Special Summon is card-neutral, not advantage (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | Only a battle-position change on an Insect; no negation, removal, or hand-trap reach (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | Xyz-material use is restricted to Insect Xyz Summons, and the body is 1000/1000 with a Level it can shift, which gives partial material value (verified from text, inferred for usefulness). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Its effect is lost to a single negate, and it is only one body with no multi-zone or recursion (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | No garnet or self-lock, and 3 copies are common across 15 archetypes; the Insect-only Xyz restriction is the only cost (observed deck usage, verified from text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Material body / Normal. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 59, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Free hand-to-field Special Summon on a Level 3 Insect Normal Summon
- Level 5/7 shift that supports Digital Bug Xyz lines
- Common 3-copy staple across 15 archetypes in the sample
- Cheap to run with no garnet or lock beyond the Xyz restriction
Weaknesses
- Requires a Level 3 Insect Normal Summon to start
- Card-neutral with no draw, search, or recursion
- Negligible interaction
- Xyz-material use restricted to Insect Xyz Summons
- Its effect is lost to a single negate
Counters / choke points
- Negation of its hand effect (inferred from text)
- Field disruption of the Insect Normal Summon line (inferred from text)
Best use
Starter / Level 3 Insect hand-SS enabler feeding Xyz lines. Decks: Digital Bugs, Beetrooper, Ancient Gears. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: hand Special Summon on a Level 3 Insect Normal Summon, Level 5/7 shift, battle-position change, Insect-only Xyz material restriction, +1000 ATK/DEF; Formats TCG, OCG, MasterDuel; no banlist token
- Observed: Run in 42 of 42 sampled decks, average 2.62 copies, 34 decks at 3 copies; Spread across 15 archetypes, led by Digital Bugs (33.3%) and Beetrooper (16.7%); Strong co-occurrence with Digital Bug Rhinosebus (92.9%), Corebage and Scaradiator (83.3%)
- Inferred: Level 3 Insect enabler gives reliable access in the hand; Xyz line is reached through the Level 5/7 shift; Co-occurrence with Digital Bug partners reflects deck construction, not isolated power
- Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference No guides supplied No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion % inferred from deck sample only Level 3 Insect enablers are not enumerated, so the access route is not fully tabled Deck-sample size (42) is small; no average starter count available for resilience
