Why it scores here
Inzektor Earwig is a 1000/1000 Level 4 DARK Insect whose value is almost entirely as an Inzektor support piece: it equips from hand or Graveyard to an Inzektor monster for ATK/DEF and gives +1000 ATK when it dies while equipped. The text shows no searching, drawing, negation or removal, and the combo evidence is empty, so its combo and interaction scores stay low. Its Level 4 DARK Insect body gives it real material value, and it appears in all 4 sampled decks, but it is single-archetype and does not convert into a board on its own. High ATK and DEF earn no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Reachable from hand or Graveyard via the equip effect, and it sits in all 4 sampled Inzektor decks, but no starter or searched observations exist (observed in deck inclusion, inferred for routes). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The equip and death-trigger text adds stats to an Inzektor monster but makes no body by itself, and there are no recorded combo examples (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | No draw, search, or card-advantage text, and the Graveyard equip is a once-per-turn recursion of one body (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A Level 4 DARK Insect is a clean generic material, and the equip ability is still reachable once the body is in the Graveyard (inferred from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Hand and Graveyard activation gives some recovery, but the equip is once per turn and needs an Inzektor target (verified from text, inferred for resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | A 1–2 copy, non-garnet Inzektor body with no lock, and it appears in 4 of 4 sampled decks at 1.75 copies average (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 48, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Generic Level 4 DARK Insect material body
- Equip from hand or Graveyard keeps it live across zones
- Appears in all 4 sampled Inzektor decks
Weaknesses
- Adds no board, draw, or interaction by itself
- Only one archetype, so the deck home is narrow
- Once-per-turn equip restricts repeated use
Counters / choke points
- Requires an Inzektor target on the field to be useful
- Generic removal or negation of the equipped monster removes the stat value
Best use
Support equip body and Level 4 material in Inzektor lines. Decks: Inzektor. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Once-per-turn equip from hand or Graveyard to an Inzektor monster; Equipped monster gains the Earwig's ATK and DEF; +1000 ATK to the equipped monster when Earwig is sent to the Graveyard while equipped; No search, draw, negation, or removal text
- Observed: Appears in 4 of 4 sampled decks (100%), average 1.75 copies; Inzektor archetype only, gameplay type 7; Co-occurs in all 4 decks with Inzektor Giga-Weevil, Giga-Mantis, Hornet, Centipede, Dragonfly, Ladybug, and Armor Blast
- Inferred: Material body value from Level 4 DARK Insect; Equip recursion gives some resilience; Support role depends on Inzektor shell
- 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
