Why it scores here
Final Flame is a plain Normal Spell that deals 600 damage to the opponent, so its value is a fixed finishing or chip-damage payoff rather than board or card advantage. It is a live card in the opening hand only when drawn, and it converts to damage with no search, cost, or material step. The high deck count (116 decks, 3 copies in 99 of them across 20 archetypes) confirms it is a reliable generic staple, but frequency does not raise the score. No combo evidence exists, so the score rests on the card text and deck placement.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Drawn by normal draw only, with no searcher in the evidence; 3 copies in 99 of 116 decks (observed, deck stat). |
| Combo & Conversion | 25 | Its only effect is 600 direct damage; no combo boards or starter stats are supplied (verified text, no combo data). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | One card for 600 damage with no draw, refuel, or recursion, so it is roughly card-neutral (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or disruption on the opponent's side (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Spell card cannot be used as material or as a body (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A spell with no board presence, so it only survives if it resolves; it has no recovery route in the evidence (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 65 | Common, 3-copy generic card with no locks or garnet cost; frequently run across many homes (observed, deck stat). |
