Springans Ship - Exblowrer — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 57 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Boss/End-board
Why it scores here
The card's value is its first effect: detach materials to destroy the same number of opponent cards in one chosen zone and its adjacent zones, which is real, flexible removal rather than body stats. Its 1600 ATK and 2500 DEF add nothing. Its quick self-banish during the opponent's Main or Battle Phase is a one-turn dodge, but the text gives no further benefit, so that part is scored lightly. Its single combo sample has an empty role and a power index of 100 from one board, so conversion stays moderate; the 400-deck sample looks selected for decks that already run the card, so it confirms the card is live but does not measure how strong it is.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Needs two Level 8 monsters on the field to be summoned, and the Springans home uses it in 58.8% of statistics decks (observed); it is never a starter or searched card in the combo sample (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The only combo sample is one board with 2 boss and 2 end-board monsters and net card advantage 5, but the card's own role is empty and the sample is a single board (observed, thin). |
| Resource Economy | 50 | Its removal costs detached materials, which are cards, so the exchange is roughly even; it does not refuel or search (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 62 | Targets opponent cards in a chosen zone and its adjacent zones, with a quick self-banish dodge during the opponent's turn (verified from text; the dodge's benefit beyond the banish itself is inferred). |
| Material Utility | 10 | An Xyz monster with no evidence of being used as material; material role is 0 of 1 appearance (observed). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 45 | Detach-based removal is limited by available materials and the self-banish is a one-turn dodge; no evidence of redundancy or multi-turn presence (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | One copy per deck (copies avg 1.02), a single Extra Deck slot, and a Level 8 material requirement that restricts other Xyz choices but needs no garnets (verified from text and deck stats). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Boss/End-board. Intrinsic ≈ 57, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Zone-targeted removal that is hard to play around, since it can hit a whole zone plus adjacent zones
- Live in 64 distinct deck archetype labels in the sample, so it is portable across homes
- Single copy, single slot, no garnets
Weaknesses
- Needs two Level 8 monsters on the field before it can act
- Its removal is paid for with materials, so it does not generate card advantage
- Its self-banish dodge is described without a stated payoff
- Material utility is near zero
Counters / choke points
- Negating the activated effect (inferred from general effect-negation rules)
- Moving cards out of the targeted zones or the adjacent zones before the effect resolves (inferred)
Best use
Removal / zone control on the Extra Deck side, used to clear a chosen opponent zone and its neighbours. Decks: Springans, Therions, Horus, Branded, Fire King. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect 1: detach any number of materials to destroy the same number of opponent cards in a chosen zone and its adjacent zones; Effect 2: quick effect during opponent's Main or Battle Phase to banish this card until End Phase; Xyz requirement: 2+ Level 8 monsters; each effect once per turn; Usage statistics: Springans gameplay 4 inclusion 58.8%, typical copies 1
- Observed: Appears in 400 of 400 sampled decks at 1 copy each, but the sample is probably drawn from decks containing the card; Distinct deck archetype labels: 64; Single combo board, power index 100, starter role/searched-for role/material role/payoff role all 0
- Inferred: Accessibility is moderate because the card needs two Level 8 monsters already on the field; The effect-2 dodge is useful against opponent targeting, though the text states no payoff; Counters listed are generic effect-negation and zone-clearing responses
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) The 400-deck sample appears selected by presence of the card (decks running it in the Main Deck equals total decks), so inclusion rate cannot be read from it Only one combo board, with empty combo role; power index 100 is a single observation No rulings supplied for the zone-adjacency and self-banish timing No dated metagame sample Guide 814 is titled Superheavy Samurai, but its staple-section co-card list contains Springans and Therion cards; it does not include this card, so it was not used as evidence
