Insect Queen — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 39 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium

Why it scores here
Insect Queen is a Level 7 Insect body whose main value is a self-buff (+200 ATK per Insect on the field) and a once-per-turn token after it destroys a monster in battle. It converts a single attacking body into a board presence, but it has no search, negation, or recursion, and its token depends on winning a battle first. Its 2200 ATK and 2400 DEF earn nothing by themselves; the score reflects the Level 7 Insect body, its link to Insect-themed decks, and the Tribute-to-attack restriction.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 42 | No searcher or search route appears in the evidence, and it is a Level 7 non-searchable body; it appears in 7 decks across 5 archetypes, but in one copy each (inferred from text plus deck sample, no combo stats). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Text gives a board-building effect (token after battle destruction, once per turn) but no combo boards exist in the evidence to confirm a starter-to-board line (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | The token is a +1 body on a successful battle, with no GY refuel or banish recursion in the text (verified from card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in the text; it only interacts through battle (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 7 Insect EARTH body is usable as material for Level 7 Insect plays, and its race and attribute remain after its effects are negated (inferred from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | Its ATK boost and token depend on being on the field and winning a battle, so a single negate or removal ends most of its value (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Runs at 1 copy in 6 of 7 decks with no garnets or locks beyond the Tribute-to-attack restriction (observed from deck sample). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 41, Deck ≈ 37.6, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Tribute-to-attack restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- 2200 ATK Level 7 Insect body with a self-buff that scales with Insect monsters on the field (verified from card text)
- Token generation after battle destruction, once per turn, adds a body to the board (verified from card text)
- Appears in 7 decks across 5 archetypes, so it is not limited to one home (observed)
Weaknesses
- No combo evidence, so combo conversion rests on text alone (data gap)
- Tribute-to-attack restriction and battle-dependent token make it awkward to start (verified from card text)
- No negation, removal, or recursion, so it does little against interaction (verified from card text)
- Only 7 recent decks, with 6 of 7 running 1 copy (observed)
Counters / choke points
- Generic monster-effect negation or destruction (inferred; the evidence does not name specific counters)
- Battle-based interaction that stops the attack and therefore the token (inferred from text)
Best use
Boss/End-board. Decks: Beetrooper, Inzektor, Hole. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 7 EARTH Insect Effect Monster, 2200 ATK / 2400 DEF (card text); +200 ATK per Insect on the field; Tribute-to-attack restriction; once-per-turn End Phase token after battle destruction (card text)
- Observed: Appears in 7 decks across 5 archetypes, with 6 of 7 running 1 copy (deck sample); Top partners include Resonance Insect and Battlewasp - Arbalest the Rapidfire, each in 4 of 7 decks (deck sample)
- Inferred: Role is Boss/End-board with Material body secondary, based on text and the token effect (text inference); Negation and removal are the main threats to its value (text inference)
- 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
