Krawler Receptor — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 66 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 64.5 · Deck: 67.2 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Krawler Receptor reliably converts a Level 2 body into a Krawler search (FLIP) and, when an opponent's card effect removes it, two more Krawler bodies from the Deck. That is net card advantage plus a removal-resistant floor, which is why its resource and resilience axes score well. Its high inclusion in the sample (259 decks, 96.5% alongside Krawler Soma) confirms it is a practical, live piece, not a score driver by itself. Its 1900-point-range stats and archetype prestige earn nothing; the score is carried by the search and leave-field summon, and effect interaction stays low because the card has no negation or removal of its own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Live in most Krawler-family decks (259 sampled decks, 49 archetypes), but it needs to be flipped and its search only reaches Krawler monsters (verified text, observed deck share). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | No recorded combo boards exist, so conversion is judged from text: a search plus two bodies on removal, with no direct board-building beyond that (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 75 | FLIP search is +1 card from a -1 body, and the leave-field effect can add two more bodies, a net gain of about +1 to +2 (verified text, inferred net value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | No negation or removal of its own; it only retaliates when removed by an opponent's effect (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | Level 2 Earth Insect body can serve as a generic Level 2 material, but no material evidence was supplied (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 75 | The leave-field summon gives value after an opponent's removal and works from the Deck across zones (verified text, inferred resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Usually runs 1 copy (163 of 259 decks, average 1.54), with no garnet or lock, but it is tied to the Krawler family (observed, verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 64.5, Deck ≈ 67.2, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- FLIP effect adds one Krawler monster from the Deck to hand (verified text)
- When removed by an opponent's card effect, Special Summons two Krawler monsters with different names from the Deck in face-down Defense Position (verified text)
- Appears in 259 sampled decks across 49 archetypes, with 96.5% alongside Krawler Soma (observed)
Weaknesses
- Search and leave-field summon only reach Krawler monsters, so it does not stand alone (verified text)
- Both effects are once per turn each, and the leave-field effect needs an opponent's card effect to remove it (verified text)
- No combo evidence, so combo conversion rests on text inference (data gap)
Counters / choke points
- Search-negation hand traps such as Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring can stop the FLIP search in response (inferred from card type; co-occurs in 44.4% of sampled decks, observed)
- Non-card-effect removal or effects that never leave the field do not trigger the leave-field summon (inferred from text)
Best use
Krawler flip engine: Krawler search plus two-body recovery when removed by an opponent's effect. Decks: Krawler, Beetrooper, Battlewasp, Powered Crawler, Ragnaraika. Suggested copies: 1.
