Hi-Speedroid Cork Shooter

Hi-Speedroid Cork Shooter — Power Evaluation

Final Score: 59 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium

• Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 60 · Meta: provisional
• Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor, Recovery/Recursion

Why it scores here

Cork Shooter is a Level 3 WIND Machine Tuner whose Synchro Summon trigger converts one Synchro setup into a Speedroid Spell/Trap from the deck, with a conditional revival of Speedroid Synchro materials from the GY. It is present in all 400 sampled decks at a 1.17 average copy count, which confirms the role is practical, but its combo evidence rests on a single recorded board with no starter or material role, so the score stays in the mid-range. It has no interaction of its own and is gated behind a Synchro Summon and Speedroid-only targets, so its high accessibility inside Speedroid does not carry the score on its own.

Axis scores

Calculation

Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Searcher / Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 60, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck

Strengths

• Synchro Summon trigger searches a Speedroid Spell/Trap from the deck, so the summon converts into a live backrow card (verified text).
• Revival branch returns the Speedroid Synchro materials from the GY when all of them were Speedroid monsters (verified text).
• Present in all 400 sampled decks, with top partners at roughly 98% co-inclusion, so the role is real and practical (observed deck stats).
• Level 3 WIND Tuner body stays a Tuner even when its effects are negated, so it still works as material (verified text; inferred).

Weaknesses

• Cannot be used from hand; needs a Synchro Summon setup first (verified text).
• Both effects are locked to Speedroid targets and the revival branch needs every material to be a Speedroid monster (verified text).
• No negation, removal or hand-trap effect of its own (verified text).
• Only one recorded combo board, with no starter or material role, so combo conversion is anecdotal (observed).

Counters / choke points

• Stun and Phantasm Spiral-style interruption, per a Speedroid guide snippet (observed guide mention).
• Negating the Synchro Summon itself stops the on-summon trigger (inferred from text).

Evidence & gaps

• Verified: Synchro Summon trigger adds one Speedroid Spell/Trap from the deck to hand (card text).; Revival branch Special Summons all materials when every one was a Speedroid monster in the GY (card text).; Once per turn, and cannot Special Summon non-WIND monsters the turn it is activated (card text).; Level 3 WIND Machine Tuner with 500/1000 stats (card data).
• Observed: Appears in 400/400 sampled decks, 1.17 average copies, 68 decks at 2 copies (deck data).; Top partners Clear Wing Synchro Dragon and Speedroid Terrortop at about 98% co-inclusion (deck data).; Per-archetype inclusion of 44.4% in Speedroid gameplay type 7, typical copies 1 (usage statistics).; One recorded combo board, power index 100, with no starter or material role (combo data).; Guide snippet notes stun and Phantasm Spiral-style interruption ends the line (guide data).
• Inferred: Revival branch is conditional and rarely live outside a pure Speedroid Synchro board.; Negating the Synchro Summon stops the on-summon trigger.; Tuner status and attribute survive negation, so it remains a clean material body.; The no-Special-Summon restriction is read as applying to the activated effect; the rulings are not confirmed.
• Data gaps: no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) only one recorded combo board with starter role 0, so combo conversion rests on a single sample no official ruling on whether the 'cannot Special Summon' restriction applies to the search branch usage statistics covers only Speedroid gameplay type 7 no card-specific rulings in the evidence pack
