Genex Worker — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 51 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 50 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Genex Worker converts a hand card into a Special Summon of another Genex monster by Tributing itself, so its value is as a Genex-specific hand-to-field enabler rather than as a body on its own. The five sampled decks run it at an average of 2.6 copies and it sits in a stable cluster of Genex partners, which confirms it is live in its home. High ATK/DEF (1200/1200) earns nothing here, and the lack of combo, starter or searched-role data keeps the combo and resource axes near the middle.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | Run in 5 of 5 sampled decks at about 2.6 copies, but the Genex-only Summon condition means it needs a second Genex monster in hand (observed deck stats; no starter role data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The text converts one card into one Genex monster, a single body with no stated follow-up; no combo examples were supplied (inference from text). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Tributing itself is a 1-for-1 exchange, so there is no card advantage and no refuel (inference from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The effect has no negation, removal or hand-trap reach, so it gives no opponent interaction (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | A Level 3 WIND Machine is a generic Tribute and Level body, though its effect cannot be used once negated (inference from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | The effect is a single-use Tribute with no redundancy, and a negate on the summoning effect ends the play (inference from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | It is a 3-copy-friendly monster with no garnet or lock, and its only restriction is that the deck carries Genex monsters (observed deck copies, verified from text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 50, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in its home archetype: 5 of 5 sampled decks, average 2.6 copies
- Tribute-to-summon from hand converts a dead card into a Genex body
- Clean to run: no garnet, lock or restriction beyond needing Genex partners
Weaknesses
- Zero interaction: no negation, removal or hand-trap reach
- Its value depends on a second Genex monster in hand
- The Tribute cost is a 1-for-1 exchange, not card advantage
- The Genex-only clause limits it to one archetype family
Counters / choke points
- Generic negates on the summoning effect shut the play down
- Hand-based disruption that removes the second Genex monster
Best use
Hand-to-field Genex enabler, Tribute fodder and Level 3 material. Decks: Genex. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Tribute this card to Special Summon 1 Genex monster from hand (card text); Level 3 WIND Machine, 1200/1200, Effect Monster (card text); Appears in 5 of 5 sampled decks, average 2.6 copies (deck stats)
- Observed: Herald of the Arc Light co-occurs in 5 of 5 decks, and four other Genex staples co-occur in 4 of 5 (deck stats)
- Inferred: Hand-to-field enabler role, since its text is a single Special Summon with no searcher clause; Material utility as a generic Level 3 Tribute body; Low resilience, since a negate on the summon removes its only effect
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only no rulings or Rush or Master Duel specifics supplied
