Spright Blue — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 63 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 60 · Deck: 64 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Starter / Combo enabler · Secondary: Searcher/Tutor
Why it scores here
Spright Blue is a Level 2 body that Special Summons from hand while you control a Level/Rank 2 monster, and its on-summon effect adds another Spright monster from the Deck, so it reliably converts a live Spright board into a second body plus a searched card. Combo evidence shows it in all 4 recorded boards with an average power index of 84.5, and it sits in 400 of 400 sampled decks at about 2.3 copies each, which supports role reality but does not by itself raise the score. It has no opponent interaction and its value depends on the Level 2 lock and Spright-only search, so the high ATK/DEF (1100/1000) earns nothing.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Hand Special Summon gated only by a Level/Rank 2 monster on field, and it is 3-of in 400 decks with 100% inclusion in several Spright usage homes (observed; text verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 62 | Appears in 4 of 4 recorded combos with power indices 100, 100 and 81, but its as_starter and as_searched counts are all zero and role_in_combo is empty, so the conversion is only partly corroborated (observed; inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 58 | The on-summon search gives one card back for the body, and sampled boards show netCardAdvantage of 4 to 6 (verified text; observed). |
| Effect & Interaction | 8 | The card text has no negation, removal, or disruption effect (verified). |
| Material Utility | 40 | A DARK Thunder Level 2 body is a usable material, but no effect-negated material behaviour is evidenced in the data (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | Two separately once-per-turn effects give some redundancy across turns, but there is no evidence of multi-zone survival against interaction (verified text; inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 78 | Three copies in a Spright shell with no garnet or brick restriction and a flexible Level 2 requirement (observed; verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Starter + 0.3 Searcher. Intrinsic ≈ 60, Deck ≈ 64, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Hand Special Summon with a loose Level 2 requirement that most Spright builds meet
- On-summon search returns a card, so each use is card-neutral or better
- Runs as a multi-copy staple in 400 sampled decks with strong partner overlap
Weaknesses
- No interaction or negation of any kind
- Search is restricted to other Spright monsters, so value is tied to the archetype
- Requires a Level/Rank 2 monster on field before the hand Special Summon works
Counters / choke points
- Monster-effect negation or hand traps that stop the Special Summon or the search trigger
- Board-wide interruption of Level 2 bodies, which removes the summon condition
Best use
Level 2 hand-summon body with a search, a starter in Spright-shell builds. Decks: Spright, Evil Twin, Frog. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Hand Special Summon condition: control a Level/Rank 2 monster, once per turn; On-summon search of a Spright monster other than Spright Blue, once per turn; No negation or removal effect in the card text
- Observed: 400 of 400 sampled decks run it, average 2.26 copies; Appears in 4 of 4 recorded combos with power index 84.5 on average; Usage stats show 100% inclusion in several Spright and Frog homes
- Inferred: Converts a live Level 2 board into a searched card plus a body; Material value of a Level 2 DARK Thunder body is usable but not elite
- Data gaps: No banlist token, so 3 copies assumed legal in all formats Combo role tags are empty and as_starter/as_searched counts are zero despite 4 appearances Only 4 recorded combos, so combo conversion rests on a small sample No rulings or official clarification data for the once-per-turn interactions
