When an opponent's monster declares a direct attack, while you have 3 or more Cyberse monsters in your GY: Negate the attack, then, you can Special Summon up to 3 "Spool Tokens" (Cyberse/LIGHT/Level 1/ATK 0/DEF 0) in Defense Position. These Tokens cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon.
Spool Code — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Negation/Interaction · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Spool Code is a conditional response: it negates one opponent direct attack, but only while you have 3 or more Cyberse monsters in your GY, and it only covers direct attacks. Its payoff is up to 3 Level 1 Cyberse LIGHT tokens with 0 ATK/0 DEF, which convert one card into a small board, and the tokens cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon. The 27-deck sample (12 of them Code Talker) and the strong partner overlap with Cynet Conflict and Transcode Talker confirm the card is practical in its home shell, but that frequency does not add power by itself. No ATK or rarity contributed to the score; the Level 1 tokens earn only a modest material value.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Live only once 3+ Cyberse are in the GY, and it is run in 27 of 27 sampled decks, mostly Code Talker shells, so access is reliable mid-game but not in the opening hand (verified text; deck count observed; GY timing inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Text converts one negated attack into up to 3 zero-ATK bodies; no recorded boards exist to confirm the line, so the score is capped near a fair board (inferred, no combo data). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | One card becomes up to 3 bodies after a negation, a clear board-presence gain, but the tokens are not cards and nothing refuels from the GY (verified text; interpretation inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | Negation is limited to direct attacks only and needs a 3-Cyberse GY condition, which keeps interaction soft and narrow (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | Level 1 Cyberse LIGHT tokens can serve as Cyberse material in general, but the Tribute ban and 0 stats keep value modest, and no material stats are recorded (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | A single Quick-Play use with no recursion or second copy of the effect in the text, so one negation of this card ends the line (verified text; inference). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | One copy-flexible spell with an average of 1.81 copies per deck, no garnet or lock, and it fits the Cyberse/Code Talker shells without restriction (observed deck sample; inferred cost). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Negation/Interaction + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Converts one negated direct attack into up to 3 bodies, a real board conversion (verified text)
- Runs in 27 sampled decks, 12 of them Code Talker, with strong partner overlap (observed)
- Cheap to run with a flexible 1-3 copy range and no garnet (observed)
Weaknesses
- Negates only direct attacks, not monster-to-monster attacks (verified text)
- Needs 3+ Cyberse in the GY, which is unavailable early (verified text)
- Tokens are 0 ATK/0 DEF and cannot be Tributed (verified text)
- No combo boards recorded, so conversion is text-only (data gap)
Counters / choke points
- Opponent lines that never declare a direct attack (inferred from the trigger text)
- Opponent interaction that stops or negates a Quick-Play Spell's effect, which would also stop this card (inferred from card type; not in evidence)
Best use
Negation/Interaction with a token extender in Cyberse shells. Decks: Code Talker, Cynet builds with Cyberse GY fuel. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: negates an opponent's direct attack while 3+ Cyberse are in your GY, then Special Summons up to 3 Cyberse/LIGHT/Level 1/0-0 tokens in Defense Position; Tokens cannot be Tributed for a Tribute Summon; Formats: TCG, OCG, MasterDuel, DuelLinks
- Observed: Appears in 27 of 27 sampled decks (27 main, 0 side), average 1.81 copies; Code Talker archetype in 12 of 27 decks (44.4%); Top partners include Cynet Conflict (66.7%) and Transcode Talker (63.0%); One guide mentions the card (Code Talker Trap Control)
- Inferred: Tokens are usable as Level 1 Cyberse material for Cyberse summons (not stated in the evidence); Quick-Play timing lets the response land in the battle step against a direct attack; Neither the Cyberse GY condition nor the direct-attack trigger is covered by any combo data, so conversion is estimated from text
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no rulings or Q&A supplied for the 3-Cyberse GY check or the token Tribute restriction no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion inferred from the 27-deck sample only no material or Tribute-interaction data for the tokens beyond the text
