Hi-Speedroid Kitedrake — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 65 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 65 · Deck: 65.5 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss / End-board · Secondary: Negation/Interaction, Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Kitedrake scores on its on-summon choice: destroy every other card on the field, or negate every face-up card the opponent controls. That is a strong, hard-to-play-around interaction package for a single Extra Deck slot. Its ATK of 3000 earns nothing by itself, and it is a Synchro that needs a Machine Tuner plus non-Tuner materials, so access is only moderate. The two recorded boards (both Majespecter lines, power index 85 on average) are a thin sample, so the combo conversion score carries lower confidence.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Needs a Machine Tuner plus 1+ non-Tuner materials; present in 400/400 sampled decks, but the sample is filtered on this card and only 2 combos record it with no starter or searched role (verified text, observed deck stats; combo sample thin). |
| Combo & Conversion | 68 | One Synchro Summon turns into a full board-wipe or a full negate; both recorded boards average power index 85 but only 2 boards exist and neither records a role (observed, small sample). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Destroy-all is a symmetrical board reset with no card gain; the negate mode is card-neutral; the GY-trigger search is conditional on the opponent sending it to the GY (verified text, inferred advantage). |
| Effect & Interaction | 80 | Two on-summon modes, negating all opponent face-up effects or wiping the field, are strong and flexible; each effect is once per turn (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | A Level 8 Synchro is an expensive, awkward material for other summons; no combo evidence of it being used as material (inferred from text, zero as_material count). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | One copy only; the on-summon trigger is one interaction window and the GY search is conditional, so there is limited redundancy (verified text, observed 1-copy distribution). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 62 | One Extra Deck slot in 385/400 decks; high partner overlap (top partner in 92.5% of decks) with the Speedroid shell (observed deck stats, inferred clean fit). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Negation/Interaction. Intrinsic ≈ 65, Deck ≈ 65.5, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Strong on-summon negate-all-opponent-effects mode
- Board-wipe option gives a flexible end-board reset
- Single-copy Extra Deck slot that fits the Speedroid shell with high partner overlap
Weaknesses
- Needs a Machine Tuner plus non-Tuner materials to summon
- The GY-trigger search depends on the opponent sending it to the GY
- Destroy-all mode costs your own board too
Counters / choke points
- Opponent responses to the Synchro Summon trigger (inferred from text: the trigger can be disrupted before it resolves)
- Floodgates or summon restrictions on Extra Deck Synchro Summons (inferred from text)
Best use
Synchro boss: negate or board-wipe on Synchro Summon. Decks: Speedroid (archetype 576), Speedroid (archetype 267). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 8 Synchro, one WIND Machine Tuner plus 1+ non-Tuner monsters; On-summon choice: destroy all other field cards, or negate all opponent face-up cards' effects; GY-trigger: add 1 Speedroid monster from Deck to hand, if sent to GY by an opponent's card; Each effect is once per turn; Typical copies = 1 (usage statistics)
- Observed: Present in 400/400 sampled decks; 385 run 1 copy; Top partners in 67-93% of sampled decks; Two recorded boards with average power index 85, neither recording a role
- Inferred: Negate and board-wipe modes give a strong boss/interaction role; Summon trigger can be disrupted by responses before it resolves; Material use is minimal given the Level 8 Synchro body
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Deck sample of 400 is filtered on this card, so 100% presence is by construction, not a frequency signal Only 2 combo boards, both Majespecter lines, with no role recorded No rulings data for interaction timing of the on-summon trigger Guides mention Speedroid context but not Kitedrake's negate/board-wipe play in detail
