If you have a Fusion Monster that mentions "Fallen of Albaz" as material on your field or in your GY: You can Special Summon this card from your hand. If this card is Normal or Special Summoned: You can add to your hand, 1 of your "Branded" Spells/Traps that is banished or in your Deck or GY, then place 1 card from your hand on the bottom of the Deck. You can only use each effect of "Springans Kitt" once per turn.
Springans Kitt — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 6 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 61 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Starter
Why it scores here
Springans Kitt reliably converts a hand card into a Branded Spell/Trap from the deck, GY or banishment, and it can also come down from hand when a Fusion with Fallen of Albaz as material is on the field or in the GY. Deck evidence is strong (in 400 of 400 sampled decks, co-listed with Fallen of Albaz in all of them), but the combo corpus records no searched or starter role, so the score rests on text plus deck presence. The 1700 ATK and Level 4 body earn almost nothing: it has no interaction and weak material value, and the bottom-of-deck cost keeps its resource gain close to neutral.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 62 | Live from hand only when a Fallen of Albaz Fusion is on the field or in the GY, and its search fires on any Normal or Special Summon; Fallen of Albaz is in 100% of sampled decks, so the condition is usually met (verified text, deck stat; inference on the conditional route). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | It appears in all 30 recorded combos with average power index 50.9, but it is tagged as starter, searched or payoff in none of them and as end-board in only one (observed); the search to a Branded S/T is the conversion step (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | Searching a Branded S/T is offset by putting a card from hand on the bottom of the Deck, so net hand advantage is about zero, with some value from recovering banished or GY S/T (verified text, inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal or hand-trap effect (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 30 | Level 4 DARK Beast body is a generic material in principle, but no combo or deck evidence shows it used as material (no observed as_material count; inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 50 | It has two separate once-per-turn effects on two triggers (hand Special Summon and summon-triggered search), so one negation does not end both routes (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 72 | It is a single generic-cost copy in 369 of 400 decks, with no garnet or lock; average copies 1.12 (observed deck stat). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Starter/Combo enabler. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 61, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck (decks present, meta unknown)
Strengths
- Turns a summon-dependent Branded engine into a searched Branded S/T from Deck, GY or banishment
- Two independent once-per-turn effects on two triggers, so the card has more than one way to be live
- Present in all 400 sampled decks, co-listed with Fallen of Albaz in every one
- Single-copy, generic-cost body with no garnet
Weaknesses
- Hand Special Summon needs a Fusion with Fallen of Albaz as material on the field or in the GY
- Search trades a hand card to the bottom of the Deck, so net card advantage is roughly zero
- No negation, removal or disruption of its own
- The combo corpus records no starter or searched role for it, so the claimed role is not corroborated there
Counters / choke points
- Negation of the triggering summon or of the search effect (inferred from effect text; no counter cards named in evidence)
- Removal or negation of the Fallen of Albaz Fusion that enables the hand Special Summon (inferred)
Best use
Searcher for a Branded Spell/Trap, with a hand route when a Fallen of Albaz Fusion is present. Decks: Branded (Bystial/Branded lines), Despia (Branded-adjacent lines), Dogmatika, Bystial/Byssted. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: hand Special Summon conditioned on a Fusion with Fallen of Albaz as material on field or GY; search of a Branded Spell/Trap on Normal or Special Summon; bottom-deck cost; each effect once per turn; In 400 of 400 sampled decks; 369 run 1 copy, average 1.12 copies; Fallen of Albaz co-listed in 400 of 400 decks (100%)
- Observed: Appears in 30 of 30 recorded combos with average power index 50.9; Tagged in_end_board in 1 combo (3.3%); starter, searched, material and payoff counts all 0; Usage statistics: 89.5% inclusion in Branded (gameplay 3), 100% in Springans (gameplay 6), 75% in Despia (gameplay 4); Top-card rank 25 in Duel Links (261 entries, average 92.5%)
- Inferred: The search target is what makes the card a Searcher; the Branded S/T pool is the source of value; Net hand advantage is about zero because of the bottom-deck cost; Hand Special Summon is the dependable route when a Fusion with Fallen of Albaz is present; Two triggers give two live routes, so one negation rarely ends the card
- Data gaps: No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Combo role tags are all zero except one end-board appearance, so the searched and starter roles are not confirmed by combo data The guide snippets discuss Branded support in general terms; this card's passcode does not appear in the listed section co_card_ids No card rulings or interaction examples in the evidence The 39 distinct archetypes count repeats the Branded archetype under four ids, so it overstates portability
