Spright Sprind — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 57 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 56 · Deck: 57.7 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Extender · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Spright Sprind scores as a mid-tier Link-2 engine body, not on its 1400 ATK. Its value is a once-per-turn deck-to-GY send and a conditional bounce that needs an Xyz material and only fires on a Special Summon, so it converts into board presence rather than card advantage. Its high deck count and 4 recorded boards show the card is reliably accessible and played, but the combo data does not tag it with any specific role, so the score does not rise on frequency alone.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Present in all 400 sampled main decks across 95 archetypes and reachable through Spright Link-2 routes, but the Link-2 requirement limits it to Link-summon lines (observed; text verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Appears in 4 of 4 recorded combos with an average power index of 84.5, yet it carries no starter, searched, material or payoff role tags, so its conversion is only a body on the board (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 35 | The deck-to-GY send moves a card to the graveyard but draws nothing, and no netCardAdvantage is attributed to the card (verified from text; observed from combos). |
| Effect & Interaction | 50 | The bounce targets one monster on the field and requires detaching an Xyz material, is once per turn and is blocked during the Damage Step; it is soft, conditional interaction (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 45 | A Link-2 monster with two arrows that cannot be used as Link material on the turn it is Link Summoned, so it is only a narrow material body (verified from text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The bounce effect only works while the card is on the field, so one negation or removal ends its interaction; no recursion exists (verified from text; inference). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | A single-copy Extra Deck slot with no garnet or lock restriction beyond the Link-material timing clause and no banlist limit recorded (verified from text; data gap on banlist). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Board breaker. Intrinsic ≈ 56, Deck ≈ 57.7, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self Link-material restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Reliable Link-2 access inside the Spright shell and across many archetypes
- Conditional on-field bounce answers a Special Summon for one Xyz material
- Single-copy, low-cost Extra Deck slot
Weaknesses
- Shuts off on one negation or removal because its interaction only works from the field
- Conditional bounce needs an Xyz monster and material on the field
- Narrow material value and no card advantage
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the on-field effect
- Removal or bounce of the card itself before the Special Summon trigger
Best use
Extender with on-field bounce interaction in Spright Link lines. Decks: Spright, Tearlaments, Fiendsmith, Edge Imp. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Link-2, FIRE Thunder, 1400 ATK, Spright archetype, Link-material restriction on the summon turn; Once-per-turn deck-to-GY send on Link Summon and conditional bounce on another monster's Special Summon; Present in all 400 sampled main decks and 95 distinct archetypes
- Observed: Appears in 4 of 4 recorded combos with average power index 84.5 and average starter count 3.25; Usage statistics show 61 to 100 percent inclusion across 19 archetype and gameplay pairs at one copy
- Inferred: Bounce is a meaningful interaction when an Xyz is already on the field; Its primary value is board presence rather than card advantage
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Combo role tags are empty for all 4 recorded boards, so the combo role of the card is not established No ruling or FAQ evidence for the Link-material and once-per-turn interactions top-card data shows no ranking, so the card is not a top-card pick
