Why it scores here
Fish Rain is a Trap whose only function is to Special Summon one Level 3 or lower Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua from hand after a face-up monster of those types is banished. It converts one set trap and one prior banish into one body, so it scores as a narrow tempo extender rather than a board or interaction card. No decks, combos, or guides were supplied, so the score rests on the card text alone, and its high-level-free, type-locked wording does not earn points on its own.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 30 | A set Trap that needs a prior banish of a Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua on the field to trigger, with no searcher or deck evidence to confirm reliable access (inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | Converts one banish trigger into one Level 3 or lower body from hand, with no recorded board or combo examples (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | Spends the Trap and gains a body from hand without drawing or refuelling, so it does not create card advantage (verified). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card text has no negation, removal, or disruption clause (verified). |
| Material Utility | 10 | Adds a low-level body that can be material, but the card itself is a Trap and provides no material value (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 25 | A face-down Trap is vulnerable to backrow removal or negation, and its trigger depends on a specific banish event (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Costs one Trap slot and restricts the deck to Fish, Sea Serpent, and Aqua banish targets, which is a mild restriction (inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Extender profile applied as a single role, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 31, Deck ≈ —, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: Final = Intrinsic (no decks and no combos; Deck and Meta null, provisional)
Strengths
- Converts a banish event into a body from hand without spending a card from hand
- Trigger is cheap to set and the summoned body is not a card-advantage cost
Weaknesses
- Narrow trigger: needs a face-up Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua banished on the field
- Restricted summon target: Level 3 or lower and only Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua
- Trap timing, so it must be set and survives only if not removed from the backrow
Counters / choke points
- Backrow removal or Trap negation before the banish event
- Opponent banish or interaction that makes the trigger unavailable
Best use
Extender for a Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua banish theme. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Trap card with a banish trigger that Special Summons one Level 3 or lower Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua from hand
- Inferred: Set-Trap access depends on a prior banish of a matching face-up monster; Mild deckbuilding restriction from the Fish, Sea Serpent, or Aqua requirement
- Data gaps: no decks supplied, so deck synergy and archetype homes are unknown no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) available
