Why it scores here
Worm Noble is a 1500-ATK Level 6 LIGHT Reptile whose only effect is a FLIP trigger: when an opponent's attack flips it face-up, it deals damage equal to half the attacking monster's ATK. That is a one-shot life-point hit that depends on the opponent attacking into a face-down body, not a repeatable board or card-advantage engine. No combo or searcher evidence exists, and the two 2023 Chaos Phantom decks only confirm it is a low-cost, single-copy slot. The score therefore sits in the low 40s on the strength of its clean deckbuilding and generic Level 6 body, and the evidence does not support a higher score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | Only two recent decks run it at one copy, all in one archetype, and no searcher or starter route is recorded (evidence-observed; no starter role data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 15 | Zero recorded combo boards and no combo examples; the flip damage does not build a board by itself (observed: 0 appearances). |
| Resource Economy | 15 | No card advantage, refuel, or recursion in the text; the effect is a single damage event with no return (verified from description). |
| Effect & Interaction | 40 | The damage only triggers when the opponent attacks into the face-down card, and it does not stop the attack; it is soft, situational interaction (verified from text, inferred for impact). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A Level 6 non-Tuner LIGHT Reptile is a usable generic material body; the effect is irrelevant as material, so the value is the body itself (inferred from stats). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A face-down defensive body dies to any removal and gives no redundancy or multi-zone use (inferred from text; no resilience evidence). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | One copy, no garnet or lock restriction, and no archetype-specific brick cost (verified from text and deck copy distribution). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility default weights (no secondary blend applied). Intrinsic ≈ 40, Deck ≈ 35, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clean, cheap, single-copy inclusion with no garnet or lock cost
- Generic Level 6 LIGHT Reptile body usable as material
- Flip damage scales with the opponent's attacker ATK, so it punishes big attacks into it
Weaknesses
- Damage only occurs if the opponent attacks into the face-down card
- 1500 ATK body is weak on the board and does not stop the attacking monster
- No combo, searcher or starter route in the evidence
- Dies to any removal before the attack happens
Counters / choke points
- The opponent declines to attack into the face-down monster (inferred from text)
- Removing or destroying the card before it is attacked (inferred from text)
Best use
Utility flip-damage body. Decks: Chaos Phantom. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: FLIP damage equals half the attacking monster's ATK (card text); Level 6 LIGHT Reptile, 1500 ATK / 2400 DEF (card stats); Two decks run one copy each, both Chaos Phantom (deck data)
- Observed: Zero combo appearances (combo data); No guide mentions (guide data)
- Inferred: Effect is situational because the opponent controls whether to attack into it; Value as material is the generic Level 6 body; Vulnerable to any removal before an attack
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token; assumed 3 copies no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion inferred from a two-deck sample dated 2023-09 decks sample is very small and dated 2023-09-10
