Why it scores here
Blaze Cannon is a Quick-Play that turns one 'The Winged Dragon of Ra' into a finisher: it becomes unaffected by the opponent's card effects, can gain ATK by tributing non-attacking monsters, and after damage calculation can send every monster the opponent controls to the GY. The effect-interaction and combo-conversion axes carry the score because the board-clearing finish is what the card reliably converts into. It has no search route and no material value, and it is dead without a live Winged Dragon of Ra, so accessibility and deckbuilding efficiency are held down; high deck inclusion in the sample confirms it is played, not that it is strong on its own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | No searcher or starter route appears in combo data (starter role and searched-for role are both 0), and access depends on a Winged Dragon of Ra already being live; the 400/400 deck inclusion in the sample shows it is reliably run (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 70 | Two recorded boards average power index 76, both Winged Dragon of Ra full lines, though the card's combo role is empty, so its exact contribution is only partly visible (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | The card does not draw, search or refuel; the recorded boards show netCardAdvantage 3, which comes from the wider line rather than this card alone (observed/inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 70 | Text states the opponent's monsters are sent to the GY after an attack, and the activation cannot be negated; this is strong but conditional on a successful attack (verified). |
| Material Utility | 15 | Blaze Cannon is a Spell with no material use and no body; it cannot be used as material (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | Unaffected by opponent card effects and non-negatable activation protect the line, but there is a single spell with no recursion or redundancy in the evidence (verified/inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | One copy per deck is cheap, but the card restricts the deck to Winged Dragon of Ra homes and is near-dead elsewhere (inferred from text and deck spread). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker / Going-second + 0.3 Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 55, Deck ≈ 60, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-locking restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Non-negatable activation and immunity to opponent card effects protect the finishing line.
- Post-attack mass send to the GY is a clean board-clearing finish.
- Appears in both recorded boards with average power index 76 and net card advantage 3.
Weaknesses
- Does nothing without a live Winged Dragon of Ra.
- No searcher, starter or material route in the evidence.
- Its effect only triggers after an attack, so it is blanked by any stop before battle.
Counters / choke points
- Negating the Winged Dragon of Ra before the card resolves.
- Stopping the attack declaration or killing the attacker before damage calculation.
- Interaction that fires before Blaze Cannon's effects can be applied to the target.
Best use
Finisher: protected post-attack board clear for Winged Dragon of Ra. Decks: Winged Dragon of Ra. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: unaffected by opponent card effects; activation and effect cannot be negated; tribute ATK gain; post-damage-calculation send of opponent monsters to the GY.; Deck partners are Winged Dragon of Ra cards (top partner at 97%).
- Observed: Appears in 2 of 2 recorded combos, average power index 76.; Included in 400 of 400 sampled decks, 1 copy average 1.23.; Winged Dragon of Ra archetype inclusion 100% in the usage statistics.
- Inferred: The card is a finisher for Winged Dragon of Ra rather than a standalone threat.; Blanked by a stop before battle or a negation of the Winged Dragon of Ra.
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited). Only 2 combos in the evidence; combo role fields are empty. 400/400 deck inclusion across 45 archetypes is unusually uniform and may come from sample construction; treat deck data with caution. No rulings available.
