Why it scores here
Frozen Rose is a once-per-turn Quick-Play that converts one face-up monster into either a Plant search (Level 4 or lower, from Deck to hand) or a Plant draw-2/discard-1 at End Phase, so its value is a reliable 1-for-1 search or a roughly neutral card exchange rather than board presence. The text is clear and the search route is live whenever you control a monster, which is what earns the accessibility and deckbuilding points. High deck count (287 decks, 84% in one gameplay), the 80% co-occurrence with Red Rose Dragon and the 66.7% Junk inclusion did not earn points: they show the card is consistently played, not that it is strong, and the lack of combo records keeps combo conversion low.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Live whenever you control a face-up monster, and Quick-Play with no summon restriction; the 1.63 average copies per deck support reliable access (verified text, observed deck stats). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Text only converts into a single searched Plant or a draw-2/discard-1, with no combo boards recorded to show a larger payoff (inferred from text; combo data is empty). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Sending one monster and then searching a Plant is a roughly even 1-for-1; the Plant branch nets about +1 hand after its discard but costs the board monster (verified text, inferred net). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card provides no negation, removal or hand-trap reach (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 10 | The card is a Spell and provides no material body; its monster is only a cost to send (verified from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Once per turn and dependent on a face-up monster and a Plant in the Deck, so one response to the activation or the cost ends it (inferred from text and timing). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Common across 45 archetype labels with 1–3 copies and no garnet, but it needs a Plant-heavy Deck to pay off its search (observed deck copies; inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Utility. Intrinsic ≈ 50, Deck ≈ 53, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live from hand whenever a monster is on board, so access is reliable
- Plant search (Level 4 or lower) gives a consistent 1-for-1 target
- Plant branch gives a small hand advantage through draw-2/discard-1
Weaknesses
- No interaction: no negation, removal or hand-trap reach
- Once per turn, and it needs both a face-up monster to send and a Plant in the Deck
- Creates no board presence or material body by itself
Counters / choke points
- Opponent response to the activation or to the sent monster (inferred from Quick-Play timing; no counter data supplied)
Best use
Searcher/Tutor (Plant search), with the Plant draw as a secondary option. Decks: Rose Dragon. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Once per turn; sends 1 face-up monster you control to the GY as a cost; Plant branch: draw 2 at End Phase then discard 1; Non-Plant branch: add a Level 4 or lower Plant from Deck to hand; Quick-Play Spell with no summon restriction
- Observed: 287 decks run it, 84% in gameplay 7 and 1.63 average copies; Co-occurs with Rose Dragon partners in about 80% of decks; Junk inclusion 66.7% at 2 copies (usage statistics, which do not raise the score)
- Inferred: Plant search route is reliable only in Plant-heavy decks; Net card advantage is about even after the monster cost
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) guide evidence is a single thin mention 'Rose Dragon' appears as three archetype IDs (831, 1033, 1947), so archetype attribution may be ambiguous
