Genex Spare — Power Evaluation

- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Genex Spare is a 3-Level DARK Machine Tuner with 800 ATK. Its only effect is a once-per-turn name change to "Genex Controller" that requires another Genex monster, so its value is as a clean Tuner body, not as a standalone threat. The 800 ATK and 1200 DEF earn nothing; the score comes from material fit and low deck cost. No combo evidence exists, so there is no observed starter, searcher, or payoff role, and the score is capped by that gap.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | Appears in 3 sampled decks across 3 archetype labels, but no searcher or starter route is evidenced in the pack (observed, thin; inferred otherwise). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | The name-change effect is text-only; no recorded boards show it converting into a board (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 15 | No card advantage, search, or recursion text; a body that does not generate value (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap text (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | Level 3 DARK Machine Tuner is a clean generic synchro material fit, but no combo evidence shows it being used as material (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | The effect needs another Genex monster on the field and is a single once-per-turn use, so it is fragile (verified from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Single-copy-friendly Tuner with no garnet or lock text in the evidence (observed from copies_per_deck; inferred otherwise). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Material body / Normal primary; no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 46, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean Level 3 DARK Machine Tuner body for synchro material
- Low deck cost; a single copy fits the Genex lists observed
Weaknesses
- Effect requires another Genex monster on the field
- Name change is a once-per-turn effect with no observed conversion into board
- No card advantage, search, or interaction
Best use
Tuner material body in Genex shells. Decks: Genex, Psy-Frame. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 3 DARK Machine Tuner, 800 ATK / 1200 DEF; Once-per-turn name change to "Genex Controller" requiring another Genex monster
- Observed: Present in 3 of 3 sampled decks, 1 to 3 copies each; Co-occurs with Genex Controller and R-Genex Overseer in all 3 decks
- Inferred: Material body role from Tuner type and Level 3 DARK Machine profile; Fragility of the effect from its board requirement
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); archetype inclusion inferred from a 3-deck sample only no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no searcher or starter evidence for accessibility
