Worm Drake — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48.8 · Deck: 48.6 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body / Normal
Why it scores here
Worm Drake is a vanilla Level 4 Earth Reptile Normal Monster. Its description is flavor text with no effect, so it converts nothing beyond its body. The 1400 ATK earns no points; the score comes from being a cheap, single-copy Level 4 Earth body that can be used as material, and it lands near the middle because no combo evidence confirms that role in practice. Its six-deck presence across several homes supports portability, but that is frequency, not strength.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | Drawable only with no searcher or search route in the text, and it appears in 6 of 6 sampled decks as a main-deck 1-of (observed, deck sample). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | No recorded boards and no combo examples, and the text grants no board-building effect (verified from text, observed as absent from combos). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | No card advantage, refuel or recursion in the text; it is a 1-for-1 body at best (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 0 | No effect, so there is no negation, removal or hand-trap reach (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 50 | Level 4 Earth Reptile body that is a plausible generic material; the as_material stat is 0 because no combos were supplied (inferred from attributes, not observed). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | With no effect there is nothing to negate, so it survives interaction, but it does nothing once drawn outside a material role (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Single copy in every sampled deck with no garnet, lock or self-restriction, so it is cheap and splashable (observed from deck copies). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Primary role Material body / Normal; no secondary role blended. Intrinsic ≈ 48.8, Deck ≈ 48.6, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Splashable 1-of body (1). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Cheap 1-of with no garnet, lock or self-restriction
- Clean Level 4 Earth body usable as generic material
- Appears in 6 sampled decks across several homes, so it is easy to slot in
Weaknesses
- No effect text, so no searching, negation, removal or card advantage
- No combo evidence that it starts or finishes any line
- Dead when drawn unless it is needed as material
- 1400 ATK earns no points under this rubric
Counters / choke points
- No effect to answer; the opponent can ignore it unless it is needed as material
Best use
Material body in a deck that already needs a Level 4 Earth material. Decks: Tearlaments, Galaxy Photon. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Normal Monster, Level 4, EARTH, Reptile, 1400 ATK / 1500 DEF from the card record; Description is flavor text with no effect
- Observed: Single copy in all 6 sampled decks; Humanoid Slime co-occurs in 4 of 6 decks; co-occurrence does not show causation
- Inferred: Generic Level 4 Earth material value, not confirmed by combos; Dead-draw risk outside the material role
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion and material use are text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) available no banlist token, so 3 copies assumed Card description is flavor text only, so no effect or once-per-turn clauses to evaluate
