If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add 1 "Polymerization" from your Deck to your hand. During your Main Phase: You can activate this effect; you cannot Special Summon monsters for the rest of this turn, except Fusion Monsters, also send 1 "Elemental HERO" monster from your Deck to the GY, except "Elemental HERO Blazeman", and if you do, this card's Attribute and ATK/DEF become the same as the monster sent to the GY, until the end of this turn. You can only use 1 "Elemental HERO Blazeman" effect per turn, and only once that turn.
Elemental HERO Blazeman — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 61 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 58 · Deck: 63 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Starter/Combo enabler, Material body
Why it scores here
Blazeman's main value is its on-summon search for Polymerization, a fusion route that 96.8% of the sampled decks pair with it, so it reliably converts a summon into a fusion engine. Its Main Phase effect converts a deck-to-GY send into a stat and attribute copy, but the combo evidence shows only 2 boards with a low average power index of 31.5 and no recorded starter, search, or material role, so combo conversion stays moderate. Its 1200 ATK and 1800 DEF earn nothing; the score rests on search access, a clean 1-copy deck cost, and a generic Level 4 body. The card has no interaction, so effect_interaction is near zero.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | On-summon search for Polymerization is live after any Normal or Special Summon, and 400/400 sampled decks run it (verified; 1.11 average copies). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The search feeds Polymerization and the GY-send effect copies a HERO's attribute and stats, but only 2 combos contain it with average power index 31.5 and no role tags (observed, thin sample). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | The search is a +1 card, offset by sending a HERO from the Deck to the GY, with netCardAdvantage 0 in both example boards (observed). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card text contains no negation, removal, or disruption (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 4 FIRE Warrior body is a usable generic Fusion material, and it stays a body if its effects are negated (inferred from text and role). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | The summon search does not need a second card in hand, but the card has no protection and its main effect is once per turn (verified from text; inferred resilience). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 80 | Typical 1-copy usage across 28 archetypes with no garnet or lock restriction (observed; verified from deck data). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher + 0.3 Starter. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 63, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Searches Polymerization on summon, so it is a live fusion route
- Present in 400/400 sampled decks with 1.11 average copies
- Cheap to run: one copy, no garnet, splashable into multiple HERO-based archetypes
- Level 4 generic body remains useful as Fusion material if its effects are negated
Weaknesses
- Combo evidence is thin: 2 boards, low average power index 31.5
- Net card advantage is 0 once the GY-send cost is counted
- No interaction or protection
- Its effects are tied to the HERO theme and its dependence on Polymerization
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps or on-summon negation stop the search
- Monster negation or stat-and-attribute changes remove the Main Phase copy
Best use
Searcher/Tutor for Polymerization with a secondary Fusion-material body. Decks: Heroic, Elemental HERO, Vision HERO, Destiny HERO. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: On-summon effect searches Polymerization from the Deck (card text); Main Phase effect sends a non-Blazeman Elemental HERO from the Deck to the GY and copies its attribute and stats (card text); Once-per-turn limit on the Main Phase effect (card text); Present in 400/400 sampled decks; 1.11 average copies (deck data); Polymerization co-appears in 96.8% of sampled decks (deck data)
- Observed: Appears in 2 combo boards with average power index 31.5 (combo data); Net card advantage 0 in both example boards (combo data); Inclusion 100% in Neo-Spacian and 66.7% in Vision HERO and Heroic in usage statistics (usage statistics)
- Inferred: The search gives access to fusion routes beyond the sampled partners; Generic Level 4 body is usable as Fusion material when its effects are negated
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Combo sample is 2 boards with no role tags, so starter/searcher/material shares are not measured Usage statistics cover only 3 archetypes No guide text explicitly describes the card's role
