Target 1 face-up "Inzektor" monster you control; equip this card to that target. It gains 500 ATK and DEF. When exactly 1 "Inzektor" monster you control is targeted by a card effect (except during the Damage Step): You can send this Equip Card to the Graveyard; negate that effect.
Inzektor Orb — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48 · Deck: 51 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
Inzektor Orb is a narrow, single-purpose piece. Its equip (+500 ATK/DEF) is a stat boost that earns no points, and its real value is one conditional negation of an effect that targets exactly one face-up Inzektor monster, paid by sending the card itself to the Graveyard. It is a 1-for-1 that only works against single-target effects on one Inzektor, and it cannot convert into material or a board, so the score sits in the middle. The four-deck Inzektor presence confirms the card is actually run and supports deck fit, but the rubric does not reward popularity or the high ATK and DEF it grants.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Appears in all 4 attached decks (3 Inzektor, 1 Ally of Justice) at 2-3 copies, but no searcher or starter data exists, so live access is inferred from deck counts alone (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | No recorded combo boards and no combo examples; the card only grants +500 ATK/DEF and does not build a board on its own (verified text, no combo data). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | Negation costs the card itself (sent to GY) for one opposing effect, a 1-for-1 with no refuel or searches (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | Negates a single targeted effect on exactly one face-up Inzektor, excluding the Damage Step, so the window is narrow and conditional (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | It is a Trap/Equip card with no monster body, so it cannot be used as material and provides no level, attribute or name (verified card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | Single-use once it is sent to the Graveyard, and it is removable by any generic destruction or removal (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Archetype-locked to Inzektor (non-monster slot), with 2-3 copies per deck and no garnet or restriction clauses in its text; the 3-copy limit is assumed, not verified (observed/inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Removal / Negation profile; no secondary blend applied (secondary Utility is minor).. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean, cheap negation of single-target Inzektor effects
- Present in every attached Inzektor deck at 2-3 copies
- Non-monster slot with no garnet or self-lock clause in its text
Weaknesses
- Narrow trigger: only a single targeted Inzektor, excluding the Damage Step
- Costs the card itself for a one-for-one negation
- Equip stat boost adds no power score and gives no material or board value
Counters / choke points
- Effects that target multiple Inzektor monsters at once
- Generic destruction or removal of the equip target or the card itself
- Effects activated during the Damage Step
Best use
Single-target negation and protection for one Inzektor monster. Decks: Inzektor. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: equip to one face-up Inzektor for +500 ATK/DEF; Negation trigger: exactly 1 targeted Inzektor, not in Damage Step, cost is sending itself to GY; Card type is Trap Card, so it has no monster body or material value; Appears in 4 of 4 attached decks
- Observed: Average 2.25 copies per deck, max 3; 100% inclusion in Inzektor-archetype usage statistics at 2 typical copies; Co-occurs with Inzektor staples such as Dragonfly and Hornet in all 4 decks
- Inferred: Accessibility is solid because it sits in the Inzektor deck core; Negation is realistically limited to single-target effects on one Inzektor; Removal by generic destruction is a realistic weakness
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied legal_copies is empty; the 3-copy banlist limit is assumed no searcher or starter counts for Inzektor support cards
