Windwitch - Glass Bell — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 62 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 61.5 · Deck: 62.6 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Material body
Why it scores here
Windwitch - Glass Bell converts its own summon into a card: when it is Normal or Special Summoned it adds another Windwitch monster from the Deck to hand, which is a real searcher engine and the reason it scores. Its Level 4 WIND Tuner body adds some material value for the Synchro partners it is observed with, and its cheap 2-copy profile keeps deck cost low. Its 1500 ATK/DEF earns no points, and its 400/400 deck inclusion is treated as consistent play rather than intrinsic power, so it does not inflate the score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | The card's own summon trigger and Windwitch-only search make it live in most Windwitch hands, and it is included in all 400 sampled decks at about 2 copies (verified text; observed deck count). Its searched-for role count is 0 in the combo sample, so the search route is not confirmed in boards (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 60 | Across 5 recorded boards it appears in 100% of combos at an average power index of 66.4, with 2 End Monsters and 2 Boss Monsters in the shown examples (observed). Its combo role tags are empty, so its starter or payoff role is not confirmed (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 62 | The summon search nets a card, and the shown boards report netCardAdvantage of 2 (verified text; observed in combos). Its refuel potential is not recorded in the evidence (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no negation, removal, or hand-trap effect in its text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 65 | A Level 4 WIND Tuner fits the Synchro partners it is observed with, such as Crystal Wing and Clear Wing Synchro Dragon (verified text; observed in decks). The sample records material role 0, so material use in actual boards is not confirmed (observed). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Its search is once per turn and can be stopped by negating the summon trigger, so it has no redundancy within one turn (verified text; inferred). Its many partner links give some multi-spot use across decks (observed). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 58 | It runs about 2 copies per deck and is cheap to include, but its text locks non-WIND Special Summons for the rest of the turn, which restricts the deck (verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 61.5, Deck ≈ 62.6, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Non-WIND Special Summon lock (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Summon-triggered search of another Windwitch monster, which feeds the engine (verified text)
- Level 4 WIND Tuner body that fits Synchro partners (verified text; observed in decks)
- Included in all 400 sampled decks across 39 archetypes at about 2 copies (observed; not counted as power)
Weaknesses
- No opponent interaction of any kind (verified text)
- Non-WIND Special Summons are locked for the rest of the turn (verified text)
- Search is once per turn, so repeated search needs other sources (verified text)
Counters / choke points
- Negating the summon trigger stops the search (inferred from text)
Best use
Searcher and Tuner body in Windwitch lines. Decks: Windwitch. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Summon trigger adds a Windwitch monster from Deck to hand, excluding itself, once per turn (card text); Non-WIND Special Summons are locked for the rest of the turn (card text); Level 4 WIND Tuner Spellcaster (card data)
- Observed: Included in 400 of 400 sampled decks at avg 1.98 copies (deck evidence); Appears in 5 of 5 recorded combos, average power index 66.4 (combo evidence); Top partners include Snow Bell (96.8%) and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon (92.8%) (deck evidence)
- Inferred: Summon search is the main engine function, so Searcher/Tutor is the primary role; Negating the summon trigger removes the search
- Data gaps: no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only combo role tags empty (combo role) — starter, searched, and material roles not confirmed only 5 recorded combos, so combo signal is thin no rulings data supplied for the summon-trigger and Special Summon lock interaction
