Inzektor Centipede
Inzektor Centipede ———————————————— Once per turn: You can equip 1 "Inzektor" monster from your hand or Graveyard to this card. If an Equip Card(s) is sent to your Graveyard while equipped to this card (except during the Damage Step): You can add 1 "Inzektor" card from your Deck to your hand. While this card is equipped to a monster, that monster's Level is increased by 3. ———————————————— Can Be Found In: Order of Chaos (ORCS-EN019), Astral Pack One (AP01-EN007)
The most popular builds among the competitive scene usually have a huge focus arround their Graveyards and the exploits arround it. Inzektor is a great example of it, as thanks to their shared ability to equip members from the Graveyard they can keep setting up powerful monsters and Xyz Summons without much investment from our hand. Many Inzektors on their own are fragile due below average stats, but having a card pool of monsters to equip on themselves and obtain the best effects for the situation is what makes them efficient from early to late game.
"Inzektor Centipede" is one of the core members that will move the entire archetype with its assistance, probably becoming the most important Inzektor specially in our first turns. Like any other Inzektor, "Centipede" can equip other members from our hand or Graveyard to gain their abilities. If "Centipede" itself becomes equipment, its target will get its Level increased by three ready to use on some setups. But "Centipede" main function comes when its equipment is sent to the Graveyard (outside the Damage Step) as in return we will be allowed to search for any Inzektor card inside our Deck to add it to our hand. This ability might seem tricky as might seem that we must depend on removal effect to trigger it, but actually "Centipede" has some cards to work it so not only we gain its searching effect with ease but also gain additional results in the process.
"Centipede" is a bit scarce on supporting options, but the ones available will suffice in most circumstances. Obviously we can depend on copies of itself to gather it in our hand, and the more "Centipede" cards in our field the more times we can use its effect in a single turn. The alternative comes from "Inzektor Dragonfly", a member with a very similar role but instead will summon Inzektors from the Deck under the same conditions as "Centipede". The final option comes from working arround the weakest members like "Inzektor Ladybug" to become target of "Insect Imitation", replacing them with "Centipede" and be used as equipment afterwards. Obviously a "Centipede" in our Graveyard will mostly be equipped in other Inzektors as the Duel progresses, but with cards like "Inzektor Sword - Zektkaliber" and "Beetron" we will have various chances to bring it back to our field for all sorts of purposes.
With the ability to obtain almost every archetype card available, is clear that "Centipede" is a monster we must exploit its searching ability as soon as possible. To do so we need the cards that "Centipede" equips on itself to be immediately disposed, and is not a difficult task with members like "Inzektor Hornet" or "Inzektor Ladybug" among several others getting rid of themselves to activate certain abilities and further improve our performance. Others like "Inzektor Ant" will do so to protect "Centipede" from most dangers (But won't activate the searching effect if happens in the Damage Step), while cards like "Beetron" and "Twin Twisters" might have to get rid of the equipped card to obtain their abilities activated. Let's not ignore "Centipede" as equipment of other Inzektors, as although is just a Level increase it will become a great benefit for some Synchro and Xyz Summons specially since the rest of Inzektors can equip "Centipede" from the Graveyard.
Like many other cards with searching abilities, "Inzektor Centipede" is extremely important and a must have to work arround the archetype. With the ability to equip Inzektors from our hand or Graveyard and members like "Inzektor Hornet" and "Inzektor Hopper" disposing of themselves to activate effects, soon enough "Centipede" not only will be gathering key cards in our hand but also give additional benefits with the effects that we will trigger in the process. A "Centipede" in the Graveyard might not be as impressive as other Inzektors, but still has a great function with the Level increase that provides until we can retrieve it back to the field to keep searching archetype cards. Obviously, "Centipede" is severely dependant of the equipment that must work with specially those that can trigger its searching effect right away. But with three copies in our Deck and many equip cards available from the hand to the Graveyard, soon enough "Centipede" will keep gathering our best cards without no much effort arround it.
Personal Rating: A+
+ Can equip an Inzektor monster from our hand or Graveyard + If equipped on an Inzektor it will provide a Level increase + Searches for Inzektor cards if a card equipped on it is sent to the Graveyard + Many cards to equip and immediately obtain its searching effect along other benefits
- Completely dependant of cards to be equipped with
