Why it scores here
The card's text gives a strong payoff, adding 3 same-named monsters from Deck to hand, which is a net +2 card gain for one trap. Its activation condition is very narrow: it needs exactly 3 non-Token monsters with the same name and no other monsters, so the score is held down by accessibility and resilience. Its high-value text does not earn points on its own; the score reflects how rarely the board can meet the condition. The single 2023 Frog deck confirms it can be run but does not show practical frequency of use.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 25 | Set trap that needs a board of exactly three same-name monsters with nothing else on the field, and the only deck sample is one 2023 Frog list (verified text, observed deck count). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | The search itself is strong if it resolves, but no combo boards exist to show how often it does (verified text, inferred conversion). |
| Resource Economy | 70 | Adds 3 cards from Deck for one trap, a net +2 advantage, with no stated cost beyond the board condition (verified text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal, or opponent interaction in the text (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 15 | Trap card with no material or summon role of its own (verified text). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 20 | Fragile: any extra monster or non-matching name breaks the condition, and there is no redundancy in the evidence (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 40 | Requires running three copies of one monster name for the condition to be reachable, a real build commitment, though the trap itself is cheap to run (inferred from text and the 3-copy deck sample). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Searcher/Tutor profile, single primary role with no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 38, Deck ≈ 32, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Conditional activation restriction (-3). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Searches 3 same-named monsters from Deck for one trap, a net +2 card gain if the condition is met.
- Once-per-turn wording limits its use to a single activation per turn.
Weaknesses
- Activation needs exactly three same-name monsters and no other monsters, a narrow board state.
- Has no interaction, negation, or material role.
- Only one 2023 deck in the evidence, with no combo or guide data.
Best use
Searcher/Tutor (conditional). Decks: Frog (the one sampled list). Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Trap card: if you control exactly 3 non-Token monsters with the same name and no other monsters, you can add 3 same-named monsters from Deck to hand.; After resolution, you cannot Normal Summon/Set or Special Summon monsters with the added name, nor activate their effects, for the rest of the turn.; Can only activate 1 copy per turn.
- Observed: Appears in 1 of 1 evidence decks (Frog archetype, 100%) at 3 copies per deck, all main deck.
- Inferred: The activation condition makes the card hard to use in most board states, so practical access is limited.; Real value depends on running three same-name monsters, which reduces deck flexibility.
- Data gaps: Single deck sample (2023), too thin to measure practical frequency. No combos_evidence, so conversion is text-only inference. No guides supplied. No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited). No usage statistics (StatisticsCard); inclusion inferred from one deck.
