Speedroid Dominobutterfly — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 52 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Combo enabler, Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Speedroid Dominobutterfly earns its place as a Level 2 WIND Tuner and Scale 8 Pendulum body inside the Speedroid Synchro climb, converting into material for WIND Dragon/Machine Synchro monsters (Clear Wing, Crystal Wing line) and offering a Pendulum effect that recycles banished WIND monsters. Its 100 ATK and complete lack of negation, removal, or disruption earn it no points, and the Synchro-material lock plus self-banishing from the Extra Deck tax its flexibility. With no combo or guide data supplied, the score rests on card text plus strong deck inclusion (55 decks, ~1.71 copies, 98.2% co-presence with Speedroid Terrortop), placing it in the mid-band.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 60 | A Level 2 Speedroid member that is searchable within its engine and can be Pendulum Summoned at Scale 8, appearing in 55 decks with 98.2% co-presence with Speedroid Terrortop (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No combo data is supplied, so conversion is text-only: a Level 2 WIND Tuner contributes Synchro material toward WIND Dragon/Machine Synchro monsters but does nothing on its own (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Its Pendulum effect is card-neutral (discard 1 WIND to add 1 banished WIND to hand) once per turn, and it banishes itself when used as Extra Deck material (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 15 | The card provides no negation, removal, or disruption of any kind (verified). |
| Material Utility | 62 | A clean 100/300 Level 2 WIND Tuner body usable for WIND Dragon or Machine Synchro Summons, though locked to that axis and self-banishing from the Extra Deck (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | As a Pendulum monster it can recur through the Extra Deck face-up zone and its Pendulum effect recycles banished WIND monsters, but the effect is once per turn and zone-limited (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 50 | Runs at ~1.71 copies on average (33 decks at 1, 17 at 3) inside the Speedroid engine, cheap once the archetype is built but not a generic free-roll (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking Synchro-material restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Searchable Speedroid member that can also be Pendulum Summoned at Scale 8
- Level 2 WIND Tuner — clean Synchro material for the Clear Wing/Crystal Wing line
- Pendulum effect recovers a banished WIND monster, recycling the archetype's grinded resources
- Strong observed accessibility: 55 decks, ~1.71 copies, 98.2% co-presence with Speedroid Terrortop
Weaknesses
- 100 ATK and no negation, removal, or disruption of any kind
- Synchro-material lock: only usable for WIND Dragon or Machine Synchro Summons
- Banishes itself when used as material after being Special Summoned from the Extra Deck
- Pendulum Summons restricted to WIND monsters only (non-negatable clause)
- Weak outside the Speedroid engine, which supplies most of its value
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps (e.g. Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring) interrupting the Speedroid search/Synchro engine
- Effect negation on the Synchro Summon line
- Monster removal or Summon negation against a 100-ATK body
- Graveyard/banish disruption that cuts off the Pendulum recovery loop
Best use
Level 2 WIND Tuner and Scale 8 Pendulum Synchro-material piece. Decks: Speedroid, WIND Synchro toolbox. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 2 WIND Machine Pendulum Tuner with ATK 100 / DEF 300 and Scale 8; Pendulum effect: discard 1 WIND monster to add 1 banished WIND monster to hand, once per turn; Pendulum Summons locked to WIND monsters and that clause cannot be negated; Monster effect: cannot be used as Synchro Material except for WIND Dragon or Machine Synchro Summons; Monster effect: banishes itself if Special Summoned from the Extra Deck and used as Synchro Material
- Observed: Appears in 55 recent decks, all main deck, averaging 1.71 copies; 98.2% co-deck with Speedroid Terrortop and 90.9% with Speedroid Taketomborg; Most common home is the Speedroid archetype (34 of 55 decks), plus Symphonic Warrior and Kashtira
- Inferred: Functions as Synchro material for the Clear Wing / Crystal Wing WIND Dragon line given its material lock; Accessible within its archetype engine via Level-3-or-lower Speedroid search routes; Pendulum status gives it Extra Deck face-up recursion potential when destroyed on field
- 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 no average power index or starter-count data to measure actual board contribution
