If this card is in your GY: You can send 1 card from your hand to the GY; Special Summon this card, but banish it when it leaves the field. You can only use 1 "Jet Synchron" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
Jet Synchron — Power Evaluation

- Intrinsic: 64 · Deck: 67 · Meta: provisional

Why it scores here
Jet Synchron is a Level 1 FIRE Machine Tuner whose value comes from two text-defined effects: a conditional Junk search when it is sent to the GY as Synchro material, and a GY Special Summon by discarding a hand card, banished when it leaves the field. Its score comes from reliable access to a generic Level 1 Tuner body, a +1 search, and a single-copy, garnet-free slot, not from its 500 ATK or its Junk-only search. Its combo appearances (23 of 23) are high, but its role counts are all zero, so the evidence does not show what it converts into, and the score does not credit that presence.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Present in all 400 sampled decks (1 copy each) and live via GY self-revive, but the search needs a prior Synchro summon (observed deck counts; inferred route) (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Appears in 23 of 23 recorded boards with average power index 89.8, yet role_in_combo is empty and as_starter, as_searched and as_payoff are all 0, so its own contribution is not isolated (observed; causal credit withheld). |
| Resource Economy | 65 | Hand-to-GY discard for a self-revive is roughly even, and the conditional Junk search nets +1 card when triggered (verified from card text; inferred net value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal or hand-trap effect in the text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 70 | Clean Level 1 Tuner body that keeps its Tuner role when its effects are negated, so it still converts as material (verified text; inferred from the rubric's material anchor). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Its GY effect can be stopped by a single response, and the top partner Ash Blossom suggests it is routinely interrupted, but it works from both hand and GY (observed partner rate 97.2%; inferred resilience) (observed/inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | One copy in 388 of 400 decks, no garnet or lock, and a generic Tuner body that fits 48 archetypes (observed copy distribution; verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 64, Deck ≈ 67, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Generic Level 1 FIRE Tuner that converts as material
- Conditional +1 Junk search from a Synchro-material trigger
- GY self-revive uses only a hand card and needs no garnet
- Single-copy slot that appears in 48 archetypes
Weaknesses
- Search requires a prior Synchro summon and a Junk target
- Effects can be stopped by a single GY response
- No interaction or negation value
- Combo role counts are all zero, so its contribution is not isolated
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (named partner in decks; interrupts GY effects)
- Droll & Lock Bird-style effect negation (generic; inferred)
Best use
Level 1 Tuner body with GY recursion and a Junk search, for Synchro lines. Decks: Synchron, Junk, Mulcharmy, Elfnote. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: Synchro-material trigger adds 1 Junk monster from Deck to hand; Text: GY trigger discards 1 hand card to Special Summon, banished when it leaves the field; Text: once per turn, shared across effects; Level 1 FIRE Machine Tuner, 500 ATK
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks, 388 with one copy; Appears in 23 of 23 recorded combos, average power index 89.8; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring co-occurs in 97.2% of decks; Gameplay mix: 68.5% type 7, 24.8% type 6
- Inferred: Search needs a prior Synchro summon, so its value is conditional; Net resource value of the revive is roughly even; Material value survives effect negation because the Tuner type remains
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) combos_evidence.role_in_combo is empty and all role counts are 0, so this card's conversion role cannot be verified No ruling or FAQ data for the once-per-turn shared clause usage_statistics show Synchron/Junk inclusion only; no metagame sample
