Why it scores here
Super Junior Confrontation is a conditional battle-step answer: it fires only when an opponent's monster declares an attack, and it converts that attack into a forced battle between the opponent's lowest-ATK face-up Attack Position monster and your lowest-DEF face-up Defense Position monster. It therefore needs a face-up Defense Position monster of your own and a qualifying attacker, and it ends the Battle Phase afterward. The evidence is thin (one deck, no recorded combos, no guides), so the score rests on the text and the deck-building cost. High ATK/DEF or rarity earned nothing here, and the card's 2488 page views were not scored.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 45 | A set Trap with no searcher or recursion in the evidence, live only when the opponent attacks; one deck runs one copy (observed, 1 deck; inferred for the attack-trigger condition). |
| Combo & Conversion | 30 | Text-only conversion: it turns one attack into a battle, not a board, and no combo appearances exist (inferred from text; combo data empty). |
| Resource Economy | 45 | A roughly even one-for-one exchange with no refuel, draw, or recursion in the text (inferred). |
| Effect & Interaction | 45 | Real but conditional negation: it stops the battle of an attacking monster, yet only the lowest-ATK attacker is targeted and only when the opponent attacks (verified text; inferred reach). |
| Material Utility | 5 | A Trap, so it is not a material body and cannot serve as a material provider (verified card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | One-shot, single-zone, and dependent on your own Defense Position monster, with no redundancy shown (inferred from text; 1 deck). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | Single copy, no garnet or lock restriction, and a slot-cheap Normal Trap that is easy to splash (verified card type; observed 1 copy in 1 deck). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Board breaker. Intrinsic ≈ 46, Deck ≈ 37, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Negates a battle against an attacking monster without needing to match a specific card
- Forces the opponent's lowest-ATK Attack Position monster into battle with your lowest-DEF Defense Position monster, which can remove it
- Single copy, cheap slot, no garnet or lock restriction
Weaknesses
- Needs your own face-up Defense Position monster to function
- Only fires when an opponent's monster declares an attack, and only against the lowest-ATK attacker
- Ends the Battle Phase after the forced battle, which limits your own attack plans
- No searcher, recursion, or refuel in the evidence, so it is one-shot
Counters / choke points
- Opponent not attacking, or attacking with a monster that is not the lowest-ATK one (inferred from text)
- Removing or leaving no face-up Defense Position monster on your side for the forced battle (inferred from text)
Best use
Removal / Negation against attacks in decks with a Defense Position monster. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card type is Trap Card (normal frame), activated only when an opponent's monster declares an attack; Text negates the battle and forces the opponent's lowest-ATK face-up Attack Position monster to battle your lowest-DEF face-up Defense Position monster; Text ends the Battle Phase after that battle; 1 deck runs 1 copy in gameplay type 6 with no archetype
- Observed: 1 of 1 attached decks runs the card at 1 copy (main deck); No recorded combo boards contain the card (appearances 0)
- Inferred: Requires a face-up Defense Position monster of your own to function; Reach is limited to the opponent's lowest-ATK attacker, which narrows practical use; Roughly even card exchange with no card advantage or refuel
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no usage statistics (StatisticsCard) — archetype inclusion % inferred from deck sample only only 1 attached deck — deck-level signal is very thin no rulings supplied for the lowest-ATK/lowest-DEF selection edge cases
