Why it scores here
Fusion of Fire is a Normal Spell that converts hand and field materials into a free Salamangreat Fusion Summon from the Extra Deck, so its value depends on the Salamangreat Fusion targets it reaches. It is live in every sampled deck (138 of 138, 1.2 copies on average), which confirms accessibility, but there are no recorded boards, so the conversion score rests on text alone. It is archetype-locked and has no interaction of its own, so the Intrinsic score stays in the mid-50s and the -2 archetype-lock modifier applies. High deck partner rates (Salamangreat Balelynx in 98.6% of decks) raise Deck synergy, but that reflects the archetype's shell rather than the card's intrinsic strength.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 85 | Live in 138 of 138 sampled decks with a 1.2 copy average and a spell-zone hand activation, but it needs a Salamangreat Fusion in the Extra Deck (evidence text and deck stats; observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 70 | Fusion Summons one Salamangreat Fusion from hand and field materials, so it converts into a body without a stated ceiling (card text; inferred, no combo examples). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Extra Deck summon is card-neutral to slightly positive with no draw or refuel clause (card text; inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal or hand-trap effect (card text; verified). |
| Material Utility | 10 | A Spell, so it provides no material body or level and never converts on its own (card text; verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Once-per-turn name restriction and vulnerable to a single spell negate, partly offset by multiple field-material routes (card text; inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Cheap to run at one copy, but the card is locked to the Salamangreat archetype (deck stats; observed). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Combo enabler + 0.3 Extender (blend). Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 63.6, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype-locked to Salamangreat (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (decks present, combos absent), then -2 archetype-lock modifier
Strengths
- Live in every sampled deck (138 of 138) at a low copy count
- Free Extra Deck Fusion Summon with no life or draw cost
- Multiple field and hand material routes
Weaknesses
- No effect interaction and no material body
- Archetype-locked; no value outside Salamangreat
- Single spell negate or name restriction stops the line
Counters / choke points
- Spell negation (e.g. Ash Blossom-style hand traps do not apply; a spell negate does)
- Extra Deck disruption that removes the Salamangreat Fusion targets
Best use
Fusion enabler for the Salamangreat engine. Decks: Salamangreat. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Fusion Summon one Salamangreat Fusion from the Extra Deck using hand and/or field materials; Card text: once per turn name restriction; Live in 138 of 138 sampled decks, 1.2 copies average
- Observed: Top partners co-occur in 92–99% of decks; 66.7% of decks in archetype 611
- Inferred: Free Fusion Summon gives net card-neutral-to-positive resource value; Score cap from archetype lock
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited)
