If you have a "SPYRAL" card on your field or in your GY: You can Special Summon this card from your hand to your opponent's field in Defense Position (but it cannot be Tributed, nor be used as material for a Fusion, Synchro, Xyz, or Link Summon), then both players reveal the top card of their Deck. You can only use this effect of "SPYRAL Double Agent" once per turn. All "SPYRAL" monsters on the field gain 500 ATK, also "SPYRAL Super Agent" on the field can attack directly.
SPYRAL Double Agent — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 46 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 47 · Deck: 46 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Utility
Why it scores here
SPYRAL Double Agent is a Level 4 hand-summon that puts a 1400-ATK body onto the opponent's field in Defense Position, then reveals the top card of both Decks, while giving SPYRAL monsters +500 ATK and letting SPYRAL Super Agent attack directly. Its value depends on a SPYRAL card already being on the field or in the GY, so it converts reliably only inside the SPYRAL shell, and its ATK earns no points by itself. It cannot be Tributed or used as material for Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link Summons, which is a real cost that keeps material_utility very low. The score is held down by the absence of combo evidence and the lack of card advantage, although the card is consistently included in SPYRAL lists.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | Hand-summonable once a SPYRAL card is on the field or in the GY, and SPYRAL enablers such as SPYRAL Quik-Fix and SPYRAL Resort appear in 100% of the 224 decks (observed; the summon condition is verified text). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No combo boards are recorded, so conversion is text-only: a body plus a +500 ATK buff and direct-attack enablement for SPYRAL Super Agent (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | The summon is free and the reveal does not draw, search or refuel, so there is no card advantage beyond the body itself (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 20 | No negation, removal or hand-trap effect is printed; the only interaction is a Defense-Position body on the opponent's side (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 15 | Explicitly barred from Tribute and from Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link material, so it does not convert as material even when its effect is negated (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Once-per-turn effect with a single-copy norm (169 of 224 decks run one copy) and no printed redundancy; the buff needs SPYRAL on the field (verified text, observed copy distribution). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Typically one copy at no garnet cost, but the SPYRAL-only summon condition and material lock make it dead outside SPYRAL-type homes (verified text, observed copy distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter / Combo enabler + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 47, Deck ≈ 46, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Free hand-summon with no cost once a SPYRAL card is on the field or in the GY
- Live in SPYRAL lists: SPYRAL is 37.1% of decks and the four core SPYRAL enablers appear in 100% of decks
- Gives +500 ATK to SPYRAL monsters on the field and enables direct attacks for SPYRAL Super Agent
Weaknesses
- Cannot be Tributed or used as Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link material
- Dead in hands without a SPYRAL card on the field or in the GY
- No card advantage: the reveal does not draw, search or refuel
- No recorded combo evidence, so board conversion is inferred from text only
Counters / choke points
- No counter cards are named in the evidence; the Defense-Position body placed on the opponent's side is exposed to their attacks and removal (inferred from text)
Best use
Hand-summon body on the opponent's field with SPYRAL ATK support; sits alongside the core SPYRAL enablers. Decks: SPYRAL. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand Special Summon to the opponent's field in Defense Position, conditional on a SPYRAL card on the field or in the GY (card text); Cannot be Tributed or used as Fusion, Synchro, Xyz or Link material (card text); Once-per-turn limit; both players reveal the top card of their Deck (card text); +500 ATK to SPYRAL monsters on the field; SPYRAL Super Agent can attack directly (card text); 224 decks, average 1.37 copies, 169 decks run one copy (deck data)
- Observed: SPYRAL 37.1%, Fiendsmith 15.6%, Ghostrick 12.9%, Utopia 11.6% of decks (deck data); SPYRAL Quik-Fix, SPYRAL Resort, SPYRAL GEAR - Big Red and SPYRAL Double Helix each in 100% of decks (top partners); Inclusion 100% in three StatisticsCard archetypes at typical 1 copy (usage statistics)
- Inferred: Primary role is a Starter / Combo enabler: hand-summon body with a board-buff effect (text-based, uncorroborated by combo data); The reveal step adds information but no card advantage (text-based); Deck-level value is concentrated in SPYRAL homes, the other archetypes being minor
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) format values are unlabelled, so gameplay-specific weighting is not possible average starter count when present unavailable, so deck resilience is inferred from copy distribution and archetype spread
