If you control a "Springans" monster: Choose 1 opponent's Main Monster Zone; if a monster is face-up in that zone, during this turn, it cannot attack directly, also its effects are negated. If no monster is in that zone, it cannot be used this turn. If you control a Fusion Monster that lists "Fallen of Albaz" as material, you can choose 2 zones instead. You can only activate 1 "Springans Blast!" per turn.
Springans Blast! — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 45 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 45 · Deck: 49 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Board breaker
Why it scores here
Springans Blast! is a conditional Normal Trap that negates the effects of one opponent Main Monster Zone monster and blocks its direct attacks for the turn, or locks an empty zone. Its real value is interaction in one zone per turn, gated by controlling a Springans monster, so it scores as soft-to-moderate negation rather than a board-building or card-advantage piece. The evidence shows it is in every sampled Springans-leaning deck (165 of 165) with high co-occurrence with the archetype core, but that confirms deck fit, not intrinsic strength (guardrail 3). ATK, rarity, and view count earned no points, and the single recorded combo gives no role-specific signal.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Live only when you control a Springans monster and have set the trap a turn ahead; it is in 165 of 165 sampled decks with no searcher or starter route in the evidence (verified deck count, inferred conditional access). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | The card builds no board itself; its one recorded combo has an empty role list and a starter count of zero, so there is no combo-level conversion evidence (observed, thin). |
| Resource Economy | 25 | Spends one card to negate one monster's effects with no refuel, search, or recursion described in the text or evidence (verified text, inferred 1-for-1). |
| Effect & Interaction | 50 | Negates effects and blocks direct attacks on one opponent monster per turn, with a second mode that picks 2 zones only with a specific Fusion; flexible but not a destruction or hard removal (verified text, inferred strength). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Trap card has no material or level role at all, so this axis scores near zero (verified card frame trap). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A single set Trap that a common negate or set-card interaction can stop before it resolves, with no redundancy in the text (inferred from text, not tabled). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | Restricted to Springans decks and one copy per deck on average with no garnet, so the slot cost is mild and mostly archetype-locked (observed copies per deck, inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Removal / Negation primary profile; no secondary blend applied. Intrinsic ≈ 45, Deck ≈ 49, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: self-locking restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Negates an opponent monster's effects and blocks its direct attacks in one chosen zone
- Present in every sampled Springans-leaning deck with strong partner co-occurrence (observed)
- Once-per-turn wording and a single copy per deck keep it clean to run
Weaknesses
- Conditional activation on a Springans monster limits it outside that archetype
- Negates effects rather than destroying, so the monster keeps its ATK and can still matter
- No searcher, recursion, or refuel route in the evidence, so card advantage is flat
Counters / choke points
- Set-card or negate responses in the opponent's hand or field that can stop the activation
- Opponent monsters without relevant effects, where the negation is blank
Best use
Single-zone negation and direct-attack lock in Springans decks. Decks: Springans. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Trap card, conditional on controlling a Springans monster, negates effects of one Main Monster Zone monster and blocks direct attacks; Once-per-turn restriction on activation; Appears in 165 of 165 sampled decks, average 1.23 copies per deck
- Observed: Co-occurs with core Springans cards in 80 to 93 percent of decks; Single recorded combo appearance with no starter, searched, or material role
- Inferred: Accessibility depends on setting a turn ahead and having a Springans monster on field; Negation is soft interaction because the monster keeps its ATK and can still matter
- Data gaps: no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only only one recorded combo; combo role and conversion signal is thin no rulings data for the second, Fusion-linked two-zone mode no guide detail beyond one Spell/Trap section mention
