Why it scores here
Des Croaking is a one-sided mass-destruction Spell: it destroys every card the opponent controls, which gives it very high interaction value once it can be activated. Its score is held back by the activation condition, which requires three face-up Des Frogs on your side, so it is only live in Frog-family boards. The card has no material value and no searcher or combo evidence, so the high ATK and popularity of the wider archetype earned no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Needs 3 face-up Des Frogs on the field, and the decks evidence shows Des Frog as a partner in 7 of 9 decks, but there is no searcher or starter evidence (inferred, from text and deck data). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Converts into a full opponent-board wipe in one activation, but no combo data boards exist to confirm the realistic start (inferred, from text). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | One card removes the opponent's whole field, a large swing for a single spell, but there is no refuel or draw (inferred, from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 72 | Mass destruction of every opponent card is strong and hard to answer once live, but it is a single-activation Spell that a negate can stop (verified, from card text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell card with no material or level value (verified, from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A single Spell that a negate ends, and it depends on the Frog board staying on the field (inferred, from text and deck data). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 50 | Mild restriction: it needs a Frog-family board, but it is run at about 1.9 copies per deck with no garnet or lock (observed, from deck data copies per deck). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Board breaker + 0.3 Removal. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 51, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Destroys every card the opponent controls in one activation
- Strong when live, since the opponent has no board left to rebuild from
- Run at about 1.9 copies per deck with no garnet cost
Weaknesses
- Needs three face-up Des Frogs before it can be activated
- Only the Frog family reliably meets the activation condition
- No searcher or combo evidence, so accessibility is inferred
- No material value
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the activation (general; inferred from the Spell's activation timing)
- Clearing or removing the three Des Frogs before activation (inferred from the condition)
Best use
Board breaker: one-sided mass destruction once three face-up Des Frogs are on the field. Decks: Frog. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Activation requires three face-up "Des Frogs" on your side; Destroys all cards the opponent controls; Spell card with no material value
- Observed: 9 decks run it, with Frog the main archetype (5 of 9); Average 1.89 copies per deck, mostly 2; Des Frog partners in 7 of 9 decks
- Inferred: Accessibility depends on Frog-family board presence, not a searcher; Negation of the activation would end the card; Board wipe value is high when the opponent has a developed board
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) available no banlist token, so 3 copies (unlimited) assumed
