Why it scores here
Counter Cleaner is a narrow Spell whose whole function is one sweep: pay 500 LP and remove every counter on the field, both sides included. Its score comes almost entirely from effect_interaction and accessibility, because it only does anything on boards that hold counters, and when it does work it is symmetrical and costs life. It converts nothing into board, card advantage, or material, so combo and resource axes stay low. The evidence is one deck with no combos and no guides, so the score rests on the card text and the rubric weights rather than on observed play. High stats or popularity do not add points here; the view count and the single-deck appearance are not treated as power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 35 | A plain hand Spell with no search, but it is dead unless the board holds counters; one deck runs it (observed, 1 of 1 decks, no archetype). |
| Combo & Conversion | 10 | Removes counters and nothing else; it builds no board and starts no line (inferred from text, no combos recorded). |
| Resource Economy | 15 | Costs 500 LP and returns no cards or advantage; it is a one-for-zero sweep at best (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 30 | Clears all counters on the field, which answers counter-based engines but is symmetrical and situational (verified from text; situational scope inferred). |
| Material Utility | 0 | Spell card with no material, level, or name value (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 25 | Single-copy Spell that a single negate or a non-counter board fully blanks; no redundancy evidenced (inferred from text and deck sample). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | One slot, no garnet or lock restriction, but it is a dead card in most boards and its LP cost is a real drawback (inferred from text and deck sample). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Utility (Utility weights used for the secondary blend). Intrinsic ≈ 34, Deck ≈ 31, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Clears every counter on the field in one activation, which answers counter-based boards outright
- Cheap to run, one slot, no garnet or search requirement
Weaknesses
- Dead on boards with no counters, which is most boards
- Costs 500 LP and removes the opponent's counters as well as yours
- No search, no advantage, and no board presence
Counters / choke points
- Floodgate-style or counter-placing cards that the player does not want cleared
- Negation of the spell itself before the sweep resolves
Best use
Tech answer to counter-based boards; a sideboard or single-slot answer, not a main-deck staple. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: pay 500 LP, remove all counters from the field; Card type is Spell; no ATK/DEF, level, or material value
- Observed: Appears in 1 of 1 sampled decks, 1 copy, no archetype, gameplay type 3
- Inferred: Only useful against counter-based boards; Counter removal is symmetrical and situational
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion based on a single deck no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) decks evidence is a single deck, so deck synergy and resilience are thinly supported
