Widget Kid — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 59 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 60 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Widget Kid turns its own Normal or Special Summon into a second body by pulling another Cyberse from hand to the field in Defense Position, once per turn. Its score comes from that extender role and from being a clean Level 3 Cyberse material, not from its 1500 ATK. It has no interaction, so effect_interaction is 0, and the 173-deck presence confirms it is portable and easy to run, not that it is intrinsically strong (guardrail 3). With no recorded combos, the combo and starter claims stay moderate and inferred.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 70 | A live hand card that triggers on any Normal or Special Summon, with 173 recent decks running it at an average of 1.77 copies, but no recorded starter or searched appearances (verified card text; observed deck counts). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The text converts one summon into two bodies, but there are zero recorded combo boards, so the conversion value rests on text alone (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Two cards move from hand to field with no card drawn or refuelled, so it is a body gain rather than card advantage (inferred from card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | The effect is a summon trigger only, with no negation, removal or hand-trap reach (verified card text). |
| Material Utility | 70 | A non-Tuner Level 3 Earth Cyberse with 1500 ATK, a clean generic Link or Synchro material across the Cyberse archetypes it sits in (inferred from card stats; observed partner pairings). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The trigger is a single summon event that a negate ends, and it is once per turn, so it is fragile across turns (inferred from card text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 85 | Level 3 generic Cyberse, playable in 1 to 3 copies across 29 archetypes, with no garnet or lock cost (observed deck copies; verified legality in four formats). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 60, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Extends a single summon into a second body from hand, with no searcher needed
- Clean generic Level 3 Cyberse material that converts whether or not its effect is negated
- Widely portable: 29 distinct archetypes and 173 recent decks, at 1 to 3 copies each
- Zero garnet or lock cost for the deck
Weaknesses
- No interaction at all: effect_interaction is 0
- Once-per-turn trigger that depends on a Normal or Special Summon event
- Limited to Cyberse targets, so the second body is only as good as the Cyberse in hand
- No recorded combo boards to confirm how far it converts from a realistic start
Counters / choke points
- Negating the summon event removes the effect and leaves only the 1500/900 body (inferred from card text)
- Hand disruption before the summon removes the trigger entirely (inferred)
Best use
Extender. Decks: Cyberse, Code Talker, Cynet, Firewall, @Ignister. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: summon trigger, Defense Position, once per turn, Cyberse from hand; Legal in TCG, OCG, MasterDuel and DuelLinks; 173 decks, average 1.77 copies, max 3
- Observed: Present in 29 archetypes; top are Cyberse, Code Talker and Cynet; 62.4% of decks use gameplay type 7; High co-occurrence with Cynet Mining (85.5%) and Micro Coder (75.1%)
- Inferred: Extender role: the second Cyberse converts the summon into two bodies; Clean Level 3 material body, even when the effect is negated; Negating the summon event removes the effect
- Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo conversion and starter/material frequencies are text-only inference No banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion inferred from the 173-deck sample only Gameplay type IDs (7, 4, 3, 6) are not mapped to names average starter count when present unknown, so deck resilience is estimated from archetype spread No rulings supplied Guide evidence is a single truncated snippet
