When an opponent's Spell/Trap Card, or monster effect, is activated that targets a "Frightfur" monster(s) you control: Negate the activation, and if you do, destroy that card, then you can send 1 of the targeted "Frightfur" monsters to the Graveyard, and if you do, Special Summon 1 Level 8 or higher "Frightfur" Fusion Monster from your Extra Deck. (This Special Summon is treated as a Fusion Summon.) During your next End Phase, banish the monster Special Summoned by this effect.
Frightfur March — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 57 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Combo enabler
Why it scores here
Frightfur March is a set Trap whose value is a conditional negate-and-destroy against Spell/Trap cards or monster effects that target a Frightfur monster you control, with an optional follow-up that converts a targeted Frightfur into a Level 8+ Frightfur Fusion from the Extra Deck. The score comes from that negation and Fusion conversion, which is the reliable part of the text. It is narrowed by the targeting condition, the Trap-zone access cost, and the lack of any combo or guide evidence to confirm how often the conversion line actually fires. Its high presence in the 39-deck sample (every deck runs 1-3 copies alongside Frightfur Fusion and Frightfur monsters) confirms it is a practical, cheap slot in this archetype, but that popularity did not raise the score.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Set Trap that must be in the backrow to act; present in 39 of 39 sampled decks at 1.54 copies average, but no searcher or combo-start evidence was supplied (observed/inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 62 | Text converts a negated opponent action into a Level 8+ Frightfur Fusion Special Summon from the Extra Deck, and 84.6% of decks also run Frightfur Fusion; no recorded board confirms the line (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 60 | Trades one Frightfur monster to the GY for a Fusion body and destroys the opposing card, so the exchange is roughly even with a small net body gain (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 62 | Negates Spell/Trap activations and monster effects that target a Frightfur monster, but only when that targeting occurs; the trigger is narrower than a general negate (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 12 | A Trap card, not a monster, so it provides no material or level value and is not a material body (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Negation depends on the opponent targeting a Frightfur monster and on the Trap surviving in the backrow; generic opponent negates or hand traps can stop it, but no counter data was supplied (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | One to three copies in a single Trap slot with no garnet or lock restriction and no legal-copy limit in the evidence; it is cheap to run inside Frightfur (verified from deck copy stats). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Starter/Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 57, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Negates and destroys an opposing Spell/Trap or monster effect that targets a Frightfur monster, a strong interaction within its archetype
- Optional follow-up converts the targeted Frightfur into a Level 8+ Frightfur Fusion from the Extra Deck, adding a board presence
- Cheap to run: 1-3 copies, no garnet or lock restriction
- Present in every sampled deck that uses it, with consistent Frightfur partners
Weaknesses
- The negate only triggers when the opponent's action targets a Frightfur monster you control, so it is situational
- Set Trap needs backrow space and a turn to set before it can act
- No recorded combo or guide evidence to confirm how often the Fusion conversion line is reached
- Its value is tied to the Frightfur archetype and does not carry into other homes
Counters / choke points
- Opponent negates or hand traps that act before the activation resolves (generic; no specific counter data supplied)
- Opponent actions that do not target a Frightfur monster are not negated by this card
Best use
Removal / Negation with a Frightfur Fusion conversion line. Decks: Frightfur, Fluffal, Edge Imp.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: negates Spell/Trap or monster effects targeting a Frightfur monster, destroys the card, optional GY send, Level 8+ Frightfur Fusion Special Summon, banish in next End Phase; Present in 39 sampled decks, 1.54 copies average, 100% of decks run the main deck slot; Card type is Trap, so it has no body or material value
- Observed: Distribution across 10 archetypes; top partners include Frightfur Fusion (84.6%) and Frightfur Patchwork (84.6%); Gameplay types 7 (51.3%) and 4 (46.2%)
- Inferred: Negation effect is narrower than a generic negate because it needs Frightfur targeting; Fusion conversion adds a body but has no combo evidence; Set Trap access requires backrow space and a turn
- Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token: assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard): archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only
