Springans Merrymaker — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 44 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 44 · Deck: 44 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Utility
Why it scores here
The 400/400 deck inclusion is a sample artifact of card-matched decks, so it adds nothing to the score. The card is scored as a 1100/2000 Rank 4 Xyz whose two effects are a Springans deck-to-GY send and a self-banish that removes the card and sends a Fusion to the GY, a net of roughly -1 with no negation. Its real strengths are a single-copy, garnet-free build and a Level 4 Xyz body that appears across 67 archetypes. High DEF and a 2-combo sample earned little, and the 1100 ATK earned nothing.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | Needs two Level 4 materials for the Xyz summon and is never a starter or searched piece (0% starter role, 0% searched-for role); the 100% deck inclusion is card-conditioned sample data (observed; inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Appears in 2 recorded boards, as payoff and end-board in 1 (50%), with the example board at power index 100 and the other at 15 (observed). |
| Resource Economy | 30 | The GY send from Deck is not card advantage, and the self-banish costs the card while sending a Fusion to GY, roughly -1 net (verified text; inferred net). |
| Effect & Interaction | 25 | The quick effect only removes the card itself and does not negate or remove anything on the opponent's side (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 25 | A Rank 4 Xyz is a weak Level-based material body, and its only material value is the Xyz-material link (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The self-banish dodges a targeted effect once per turn per effect, and nothing in the pack shows redundancy (verified text; inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Single copy in 371 of 400 decks, no garnet or lock text, and no restriction in the pack (observed; verified text). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Utility default (no clear primary role; dormant Springans GY send and self-banish dodge, no starter or negation). Intrinsic ≈ 44, Deck ≈ 44, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Free-roll deckbuilding: 1 copy in most decks, no garnet or lock text in the pack (verified; observed)
- Level 4 Xyz body playable across 67 distinct archetypes (observed)
- Self-banish dodges a targeted effect and fuels a Fusion to GY (verified text)
Weaknesses
- 1100 ATK / 2000 DEF gives low board impact; stats earned no points
- Never a starter or searched piece in recorded boards (0% starter role, 0% searched-for role)
- Self-banish costs the card and sends a Fusion, a net of roughly -1 with no negation (inferred)
- Only 2 recorded combos, too thin to confirm the payoff role
Counters / choke points
- Targeted removal or negation that lands before the self-banish is used (inferred from text)
- Opponent plays that do not target it give the self-banish no value (inferred)
Best use
Utility Rank 4 body; Springans GY send. Decks: DoomZ (Rank 4 Xyz body lists), Springans. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Rank 4 Xyz, ATK 1100, DEF 2000, Machine FIRE, archetype Springans (card data); Extra Deck Special Summon trigger sends 1 Springans monster from Deck to GY (card text); Quick effect banishes itself, then sends a Fusion listing Fallen of Albaz if banished with 2+ Xyz Materials (card text); Each effect is once per turn (card text)
- Observed: 400 of 400 sampled decks run it (1.07 avg copies, 2 copies in 29 decks); 67 distinct archetypes, top share 17.8% (DoomZ); 2 recorded combos: payoff and end-board in 1 each, 0 as starter or material; Usage stats: 82-100% inclusion across 4 archetypes, typical 1 copy
- Inferred: Deck inclusion is driven by its Rank 4 body rather than its Springans effects; Self-banish is a net roughly -1 with no negation; Sample is card-conditioned, so 400/400 inclusion is not demand evidence
- Data gaps: No banlist token in the evidence (assumed unlimited) Only 2 recorded combos Deck sample is card-conditioned (400/400 inclusion), so frequency cannot be read as demand No rulings or Springans partner list to confirm the GY-send payoff
