Generalprobe — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 51 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 47 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher / Tutor · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Generalprobe converts Symphonic Warrior effect activations into card advantage: each activation places a counter, and removing 3 counters searches a Symphonic Warrior monster, while summoning Symphonic Warrior monsters searches Symph Amplifire. It is in all 60 sampled decks at about 2.6 copies each, which confirms it is a consistent theme staple, but that frequency does not earn points beyond accessibility and deck fit. It has no interaction, no material value, and no combo data, and it is dead in hand without the theme, so the score stays in the middle band.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Run in 60 of 60 sampled decks at an average of 2.63 copies, but it is a Continuous Spell that needs the theme on board to do anything, and no combo data shows how often it is drawn or searched (observed deck frequency; inferred playability). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Its text turns counters into one search per trigger but adds no board presence on its own; without recorded boards, the conversion rate is text-only inference. |
| Resource Economy | 72 | Each search from the Deck is a +1 card gain, and counters are generated by effects that already exist, so the repeated advantage is strong (verified from card text; inferred frequency). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | It is a continuous engine with no negation, removal, or disruption on its text (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell card cannot be used as Extra Deck material and offers no body or level value (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The counter pool and the engine both sit on the card, so Spell removal or destruction would stop the engine, and it does nothing from hand until the theme is active (inferred from text; no interaction data). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | It is tied to Symphonic Warrior, with no garnet or brick cost, but it is a dead draw outside that theme and occupies a main-deck slot in every sampled list (observed deck usage; inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Converts Symphonic Warrior activations into repeated +1 card searches (verified from text)
- Present in all 60 sampled decks at about 2.6 copies each (observed)
- Top partners are theme cards at 80–100% co-occurrence, so deck fit is strong (observed)
Weaknesses
- Dead in hand without Symphonic Warrior monsters on the field (verified from text; inferred)
- No interaction, negation, or material value (verified from text)
- Fully archetype-locked, so portability is poor across homes (inferred from text)
- No combo or guide data to confirm how it performs in practice (data gap)
Counters / choke points
- Spell removal or destruction on the Continuous Spell would stop the engine (inferred; no interaction data)
Best use
Continuous Spell search engine that turns Symphonic Warrior activations into extra cards. Decks: Symphonic Warrior. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Continuous Spell with a Symphonic Counter engine: counters placed on Symphonic Warrior effect activation, 3 counters remove a search, and a summon trigger searches Symph Amplifire (card text); Run in 60 of 60 sampled decks at an average of 2.63 copies (deck evidence); Not a Material body and has no interaction on its text (card type and text)
- Observed: Top partners are Symphonic Warrior theme cards at 80–100% co-occurrence (deck evidence); Distributed across 12 archetype IDs, but all are the same Symphonic Warrior family and Synchron/Speedroid splashes (deck evidence)
- Inferred: Dead draw without Symphonic Warrior monsters on the field (inferred from text); Archetype-locked deckbuilding cost (inferred from text and partner list); Deck-level synergy is strong, but the combo centrality cannot be measured (inferred)
- 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) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no top-card ranking data supplied
