2 or more Reptile-Type "Worm" monsters For each Fusion Material Monster with a different name used to Fusion Summon this card, it gains 500 ATK, and also gains these effects: ● 2+: Once per turn, you can select 1 Reptile-Type monster in your Graveyard, and Special Summon it in face-down Defense Position. ● 4+: You can remove from play 1 Reptile-Type monster from your Graveyard to send 1 monster on the field to the Graveyard. ● 6+: Once per turn, you can draw 1 card.
Worm Zero — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 44 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 46 · Deck: 43 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Boss / End-board · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Worm Zero's power comes from its text: each different-name Fusion material gives +500 ATK and unlocks a revive from the Graveyard, a GY-banish send-to-GY effect at 4+, and a once-per-turn draw at 6+. That is a real end-board body that scales with material count, but it needs a Fusion Summon and Reptile Worm materials, and no recorded boards show it as a starter, searched piece, or payoff. Its 2,500-plus ATK on paper earns nothing by itself; the score rests on the effect package and the modest deck footprint.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | Fusion Summon with Reptile Worm materials is a real restriction, though four attached decks across three archetypes show it is live in practice (deck data; text-derived for the summon route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The text converts materials into ATK and revive/send effects, but with zero combo boards there is no observed conversion (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | The 6+ once-per-turn draw and the GY-banish send effect give some refuel and card flow, but the banish cost keeps it modest (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | The 4+ effect sends a field monster to the GY, a soft removal that needs a Reptile banished from the GY first (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 20 | As a Fusion monster it is not a usable material in normal play, and no material role appearances exist (verified from text; combo data zero). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The GY revive and Fusion-material scaling offer multi-turn value, but both depend on Graveyard Reptiles and the Fusion route (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | It takes an Extra Deck slot and needs a specific Reptile Worm material base, with no garnet or lock cost recorded (observed from deck data; inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Boss/End-board + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 46, Deck ≈ 43, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Material-count scaling: +500 ATK and extra effects per different-name Fusion material
- Graveyard revive and once-per-turn draw add value across turns
- Live in 4 recent decks across 3 archetypes
Weaknesses
- Requires a Fusion Summon with specific Reptile Worm materials
- No combo evidence showing it as a starter, searched, or payoff piece
- Send and revive effects depend on Reptile monsters in the Graveyard
Counters / choke points
- Generic monster negation or effect negation on the Fusion Summon
- Graveyard hate that removes Reptile monsters before the revive or banish effects are used
Best use
Fusion end-board body in Worm and Reptile-material builds. Decks: White Forest, Cancer, Runick. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Text: 2+ Reptile Worm materials, +500 ATK per different-name Fusion material, revive at 2+, GY-banish send at 4+, draw at 6+; Decks: 4 recent decks, 3 archetypes, 1.25 average copies per deck
- Observed: Deck partners include I:P Masquerena (3 of 4 decks); Zero combo appearances in the supplied boards
- Inferred: Boss/End-board role from the material-scaling effect package; Modest deck synergy because there are no combo boards to confirm a starter or payoff role
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
