If a monster is Special Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step): You can Special Summon this card from your hand, also you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except WIND monsters. You can only use this effect of "Speedroid Rubberband Plane" once per turn. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can target 1 face-up monster on the field; it loses 600 ATK until the end of this turn.
Speedroid Rubberband Plane — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 52 · Deck: 54 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Material body, Utility
Why it scores here
Speedroid Rubberband Plane converts a WIND-heavy combo turn into one extra Level 5 Machine body: its hand Special Summon triggers off any monster already Special Summoned to your field, so it is a real but conditional extender rather than a starter. Its only other effect is a temporary 600 ATK reduction, which does almost nothing on its own, and the WIND-only summon lock narrows which decks can actually use the body. The 1800 ATK and Level 5 statline earn no points here; the score comes from being a cheap, consistently co-played Speedroid extender whose ceiling is capped by the requirement of an existing summon and by zero recorded combo appearances.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 58 | It is a 'Speedroid' name and appears in 230 sampled decks (98.7% alongside Speedroid Terrortop), but it must be drawn and only becomes live after another monster is Special Summoned, and 213 of 230 decks run just one copy (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 52 | Its text only adds a single body to a turn that is already developing and no combo data appearances are recorded, so conversion is one extra Synchro material rather than a full board from one card (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | It summons itself from hand at no discard or LP cost but generates no card advantage and the 600 ATK debuff is temporary, making it roughly break-even (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 22 | The only interaction is targeting 1 face-up monster to lose 600 ATK until end of turn, which rarely changes combat or stops a play (verified). |
| Material Utility | 62 | As a Level 5 WIND Machine it is a clean Synchro material body that still provides level/attribute value even if its 600 ATK effect is irrelevant or negated (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | It works only from hand, is dead without a prior Special Summon, and the 'except WIND monsters' lock restricts the rest of the turn's plays, so one negated summon removes it entirely (verified). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Typical cost is a single slot (avg 1.08 copies), which is cheap inside Speedroid, but the WIND-only lock and the need for an existing summon make it a soft, archetype-bound pick outside WIND decks (observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-2); Soft garnet / low natural access (-1). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Free Special Summon from hand off any monster Special Summoned to your field, adding a body without spending a Normal Summon
- Level 5 WIND Machine body that slots straight into Speedroid Synchro lines
- Once-per-turn clause keeps it low-risk to run as a one-of
- Very high co-occurrence with the Speedroid core (98.7% with Terrortop and Taketomborg)
Weaknesses
- Cannot start a play on its own — it needs another monster to already be Special Summoned
- Locks the rest of the turn's Special Summons to WIND monsters
- Secondary effect is only a temporary 600 ATK reduction
- Mostly played at one copy, so it is rarely drawn; zero recorded combo appearances
Counters / choke points
- Hand disruption such as Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring on the summon trigger line
- Summon negation (Solemn Judgment/Solemn Strike style traps) removing the body outright
- Non-WIND interaction that punishes the turn lock
- Graveyard/board effects that make the -600 ATK debuff irrelevant
Best use
Extender / Level 5 WIND material body for Synchro plays. Decks: Speedroid, Windwitch (WIND Synchro variants). Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: if a monster is Special Summoned to your field (except during the Damage Step), you can Special Summon this card from your hand, and you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of the turn except WIND monsters; once per turn.; Card text: if this card is Normal or Special Summoned, you can target 1 face-up monster on the field and it loses 600 ATK until the end of the turn.; Card identity is a Level 5 WIND Machine Effect Monster, ATK 1800 / DEF 0, archetype 'Roid' ('Speedroid' name).; 230 sampled decks run it, all in the main deck, average 1.08 copies (213 decks at exactly 1 copy).
- Observed: deck data reports 230 decks with 98.7% co-decking alongside Speedroid Terrortop and Speedroid Taketomborg.; Archetype distribution is dominated by Speedroid entries (93 + 59 + 10 + 5 decks), with small splashes in Kashtira (13), Synchron (7) and Windwitch (6 + 3).; combo data records 0 appearances and no starter/material/payoff usage across recorded boards.
- Inferred: Primary role is an extender into Synchro plays: the free hand Special Summon supplies one extra Level 5 body after an existing summon.; The 'except WIND monsters' clause confines practical use to WIND-based decks, which matches the Speedroid/Windwitch distribution.; The 600 ATK reduction is situational combat math at best and does not function as meaningful removal or negation.; Zero combo appearances means deck-synergy and resilience estimates rely on deck counts and partner data rather than measured board outcomes.
- 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 field summon negation availability not measured, so the low resilience figure is inferred
