If an Equip Card(s) is sent to your Graveyard while equipped to this card (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon 1 "Inzektor" monster from your Deck, except "Inzektor Dragonfly". While this card is equipped to a monster, that monster's Level is increased by 3.
Inzektor Dragonfly — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 51 · Deck: 49 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Inzektor Dragonfly converts a Level 3 Inzektor body in hand or Graveyard into an equip that adds three Levels to the monster it sits on, and a later equip send to the Graveyard can bring back another Inzektor from the Deck. Its value is tied to the Inzektor shell: it appears in 145 of 145 decks and sits in 69.7% of them as an Inzektor archetype card. The 1000 ATK / 1800 DEF stats earned nothing; the score comes from access and the Level and recursion text. No recorded boards exist to confirm its conversion, so the score stays in the mid-50s and the confidence stays Medium.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Runs 3 copies in 127 of 145 decks and sits next to Inzektor Centipede and Hornet in 100% of decks, but no recorded board shows it as a starter or searched card (inferred from deck data, not combos). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | The text gives a real Level +3 and a GY-triggered Special Summon, but there are zero combo appearances to confirm the conversion (inferred from card text; observed deck-level partners only). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The GY-triggered Special Summon from the Deck is a one-for-one recovery when an equip card hits the Graveyard, with no measured netCardAdvantage (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect, so opponent interaction is effectively zero (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | It is a generic Level 3 DARK Insect body that can be Level material, and the equip Level boost works on a monster that keeps its own level value (inferred from text; no as_material counts). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The effects are once per turn and need an Inzektor monster in hand or GY first, so one interruption can end the line (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | It is a 3-copy card that only works in an Inzektor shell, with 127 of 145 decks running three copies, so the restriction is mild but archetype-locked (observed from decks_evidence). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 51, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: archetype-locked restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Level 3 DARK Insect body with a Level +3 equip that can enable Level-based plays
- GY-triggered Special Summon of another Inzektor from the Deck, giving recursion when an equip card is sent to the GY
- Near-universal in the Inzektor shell: 145 of 145 sampled decks, 3 copies in 127 of them
Weaknesses
- No opponent interaction at all
- Once per turn and archetype-locked: needs an Inzektor monster in hand or GY before it does anything
- Zero recorded combo appearances, so the conversion value is inferred from text rather than observed
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the equip or the Graveyard-send trigger stops the recursion before it resolves
- Hand-trap or board-breaker interaction that removes the Inzektor body from hand or GY before equip
Best use
Extender / recursion body in the Inzektor shell. Decks: Inzektor. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: once per turn equip of an Inzektor monster from hand or GY; Card text: GY-triggered Special Summon of an Inzektor from Deck, excluding Inzektor Dragonfly; Card text: +3 Level to the equipped monster; no negation or removal effect; Deck data: 145 of 145 decks, 127 running 3 copies, 69.7% Inzektor archetype
- Observed: Partner data: Inzektor Centipede, Hornet and Ladybug in 97–100% of decks; usage_statistics: 100% inclusion in the Ally of Justice archetype row at 3 copies
- Inferred: Accessibility is high because of the deck data, not a measured starter rate; Conversion value is inferred from the text since no combos are recorded; Deckbuilding cost is mild because the restriction is archetype-only
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) usage_statistics lists a single 'Ally of Justice' row at 100%, which does not match the Inzektor deck archetype data; not used to move the score decks_evidence has no per-deck starter count, so the redundancy term rests on archetype spread only
