Springans Pedor — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 49 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48 · Deck: 50 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Material body · Secondary: Recovery/Recursion
Why it scores here
Springans Pedor is a Level 4 FIRE Machine whose value is mostly as archetype material: its second effect attaches it from hand, field or GY to a Springans Xyz you control, and its first effect trades a self-Tribute for a Springans monster from the GY. Both effects need a Springans Xyz or a Springans GY target, so the card is live only inside the Springans shell. Its 2000 DEF and archetype-level deck spread earn nothing on their own, and the 400-deck sample is filtered to decks that already contain the card, so its inclusion rate is not evidence of power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 40 | Effect 2 works from hand, field or GY, but it needs a Springans Xyz on the field, and no searcher or starter route is recorded in the evidence (inference, partly observed from deck pairing). |
| Combo & Conversion | 35 | The combo corpus is empty, so the only conversion is one Tribute-for-one revive or one attach, with no recorded board (inference from text). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | The self-Tribute revive is roughly card-neutral and the attach is a free relocation, so there is no repeated advantage (inference from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | Neither effect negates, removes or disrupts an opponent card (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 55 | A Level 4 FIRE Machine effect monster that can attach itself from hand, field or GY, and the body still works as material even if its effects are negated (verified from text, partly inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Two effects across three zones, each once per turn, give some redundancy, but both depend on Springans targets (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 55 | A single copy averages 1.21 per deck, with no garnet or lock, but its value is locked to the Springans archetype (observed from deck copies, inferred for restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Material body + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 50, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Attaches to a Springans Xyz from hand, field or GY, so it is never dead when a Springans Xyz is out
- Tribute-to-revive returns a Springans monster from the GY
- Clean Level 4 FIRE Machine body that works as material even when negated
- Single copy fits the Springans shell with no garnet or lock
Weaknesses
- Both effects require a Springans Xyz or a Springans GY target, so it does nothing outside the archetype
- No interaction, no negation and no removal
- No recorded combo appearances, so board conversion is text-only inference
- Self-Tribute revive is roughly card-neutral, so it does not generate advantage
Best use
Xyz material fodder and GY revive support inside the Springans shell. Decks: Springans. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Effect 1: Tribute this card, then Special Summon one other Springans monster from the GY; Effect 2: from hand, field or GY, attach this card to one Springans Xyz you control as material; Each effect is once per turn, Level 4 FIRE Machine effect monster
- Observed: Appears in all 400 sampled decks at an average of 1.21 copies, mostly 1 copy; Top partners are Springans core cards at 63 to 98 percent of sampled decks; Guides place it in the Springans main deck section and the Gunkan Suship support list
- Inferred: Its value depends on a Springans Xyz being on the field for effect 2; Its role is attach-fodder and revive support rather than a starter; Deck inclusion is largely driven by the Springans shell, not by standalone strength
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference the 400-deck sample is filtered to decks containing this card, so inclusion rate is not a prevalence measure no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so archetype inclusion is inferred from the deck sample only no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no rulings or Springans Xyz list, so material-fit for effect 2 is unverified
