Worm Call — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 35 ± 10 · Confidence: Low
- Intrinsic: 37 · Deck: — · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Worm Call's only output is one face-down Defense Position Reptile "Worm" monster Special Summoned from hand, gated by three conditions: once per turn, the opponent controls a monster, and you control no monsters. Its score rests on text inference alone because no deck, combo, guide or usage-statistics evidence was supplied. The card earns nothing for its view count (2886), format breadth or Worm archetype label, since none of these are power drivers.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | The summon comes from hand, but the three-part board condition and once-per-turn limit make it situational; no searcher or deck-frequency data was supplied (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | It converts into a single defensive body with no stated follow-up, and no combo boards were supplied to show a larger outcome (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | It is a free Special Summon from hand, so it trades one card for one body with no card advantage or refuel (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect against the opponent (verified). |
| Material Utility | 30 | The summoned Reptile Worm body could be a material, but the Worm monster pool was not supplied, so its value cannot be confirmed (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 30 | The card is a Continuous Spell that can be removed, and its condition can be broken by the opponent's monster-control play (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | It is cheap to run as a single copy and carries no garnet, but it commits the deck to the Worm archetype (verified). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Starter / Combo enabler row; the secondary Combo enabler shares this profile, so no blend was needed. Intrinsic ≈ 37, Deck ≈ —, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-restriction (-2). Final formula: Final = Intrinsic (provisional; Deck = null, no decks or combos) + modifiers
Strengths
- Free Special Summon from hand, so it is card-neutral on resources
- Summons a Worm-archetype body without spending a normal summon
- Single-copy card with no garnet cost
Weaknesses
- Three-part board condition makes it situational
- Once per turn limit
- Only outputs one defensive face-down body
- No deck, combo or guide evidence of real use
Counters / choke points
- The opponent can break the condition by controlling no monsters or by keeping monsters on their side of the board (inferred)
- Removing the Continuous Spell from the field turns off any ongoing use (inferred)
Best use
Conditional Worm body from hand (Starter).

- Inferred: Summoned body is a weak defensive blocker with no stated follow-up; The three-part condition makes the card situational in practice; Single-copy use is low cost to the deck
- Data gaps: no decks supplied, so deck and synergy signals are unavailable no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, so 3 copies (unlimited) were assumed no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) for archetype inclusion legal copies is empty for every format no Worm Reptile monster pool supplied, so material and searcher routes are unverified
