Once per turn: You can choose any number of your unused Main Monster Zones, and if you do, place that number of Season Counters on this card, also those zones cannot be used while this card is on the field. Monsters you control gain 400 ATK for each Season Counter on this card. Once per turn, during your opponent's End Phase: You can take 1 Field Spell from your Deck that you can place a Season Counter on, and place it face-up on your field (but neither player can activate its effects this turn), and if you do, place all Season Counters on this card on that card.

Why it scores here
Spring converts its Season Counters into a board-wide +400 ATK per counter for all of its controller's monsters, and its opponent's End Phase lets it move counters onto a Field Spell retrieved from the Deck. Those effects are real but unmeasured: no combo boards were supplied, so conversion is text-only. The card's ATK bonus earns little on its own, because each counter costs one of the controller's own unused Main Monster Zones and both halves are once per turn. Its score rests on being run in 47 of 47 sampled decks across 14 archetypes at roughly two copies each, not on raw power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Present in all 47 sampled decks, but no combo starter or searched appearances are recorded to confirm the route (observed; the Terraforming co-occurrence of 83% is not a verified access route, inference). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | The +400 ATK per counter is a board-wide buff, but no combo boards were supplied, so the conversion is text-only (verified text, inference on conversion). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | The opponent's End Phase deck-to-field retrieval is a single card gained with no recorded refuel or net advantage (verified text, inference). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | No negation, removal or hand-trap reach; it only blocks the controller's own zones while counters are on it (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Spell Card, so it provides no monster material, level or attribute (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Once-per-turn limits on both effects and no recorded combo survival data; the counter transfer offers some recovery (verified text, inference). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 60 | Runs at 1 to 3 copies (average 1.96) in a single field-spell slot with no garnet or lock beyond its own zone cost (observed deck stats, inference). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Utility + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 46.5, Deck ≈ 46.9, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Board-wide +400 ATK per Season Counter across all of the controller's monsters (verified text)
- Live in 47 of 47 sampled decks across 14 archetypes (observed)
- Opponent's End Phase retrieves a Field Spell from the Deck to the field and moves its counters onto it (verified text)
Weaknesses
- Each counter costs one of the controller's own unused Main Monster Zones (verified text)
- Both effects are once per turn (verified text)
- No recorded combo appearances, so board conversion is unverified (observed)
Counters / choke points
- Opponent's Field Spell removal or replacement, which would strip the counters and the ATK bonus (inference; no interaction evidence supplied)
Best use
Utility / field-spell ATK support. Decks: Sky Striker, Watt. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Board-wide +400 ATK per Season Counter to controller's monsters (card text); Each counter blocks one of the controller's own unused Main Monster Zones (card text); Once-per-turn limits on both effects (card text); Opponent's End Phase retrieves a Field Spell from the Deck to the field and moves counters onto it (card text)
- Observed: Present in 47 sampled decks, 14 archetypes, average 1.96 copies (deck evidence); Terraforming co-occurs in 83% of decks (deck evidence); Zero combo appearances (combo evidence)
- Inferred: Field-spell access route via Terraforming co-occurrence is plausible but unverified; Board conversion is strong if counters are placed early, from text alone; Opponent Field Spell removal would end the ATK bonus
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo conversion, starter role and material role rates are unknown No guides supplied No banlist token, so 3 copies (unlimited) assumed No rulings supplied for the counter-transfer timing in the opponent's End Phase No Field Spell identity or list supplied for the End Phase retrieval target
