Volcanic Blaze Accelerator — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 55 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 54 · Deck: 56 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Removal / Negation · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
The card's value is a once-per-turn soft removal (destroy a face-up opponent monster, paid by sending a Level 1 Pyro from the Deck) plus a once-per-turn Volcanic summon from hand, both attached to a Continuous Spell that is exposed to backrow removal. Its activation cost depends on a second card, Blaze Accelerator, which appears as a partner in all 400 sampled decks, so access is strong in this environment. High ATK and rarity earn nothing here; the score is held down by the card-neutral-to-negative resource cost, the lack of observed combo data, and the fact that it is a Spell with no material role.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 72 | Activation needs a Blaze Accelerator sent from hand, Deck or field, and Blaze Accelerator co-occurs in 400 of 400 decks; no combo starter data was supplied (observed partner stat plus inference). |
| Combo & Conversion | 58 | The summon and the removal each convert one extra card into board presence, but no recorded boards exist to confirm a route (inference from text only). |
| Resource Economy | 40 | Each removal costs a Deck-to-GY Level 1 Pyro and the activation costs a Blaze Accelerator, against a body summon with no card draw, so the economy sits below even (verified text, inferred balance). |
| Effect & Interaction | 60 | Destroying a face-up monster once per turn with no stated timing restriction gives soft interaction usable on the opponent's turn, but it is not a hand trap and the target can be answered (verified text, inferred strength). |
| Material Utility | 0 | A Continuous Spell cannot be used as material, so this axis is zero (verified card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | It sits on the field as a Continuous Spell that backrow removal can destroy, and the 'only control 1' clause limits redundancy, though its two once-per-turn effects reset each turn (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 50 | One slot with near-universal partner support, but the 'only control 1' clause makes duplicate copies dead, and the average of 2.11 copies per deck is slightly wasteful (observed copies, inference). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Removal/Negation + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 54, Deck ≈ 56, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Self-restriction: only control 1 (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Once-per-turn Volcanic summon from hand gives a live body while the spell is on the field
- Once-per-turn destruction of a face-up opponent monster, usable on the opponent's turn with no timing restriction
- Activation can be paid from hand, Deck or field, so the cost is flexible across turns
- Blaze Accelerator co-occurs in every sampled deck, so the access route is reliable in this environment
Weaknesses
- Continuous Spell is exposed to backrow removal
- Removal requires a Deck-to-GY Level 1 Pyro, which thins the deck and costs a card
- Only one copy can be controlled, so duplicates add little
- No observed combo data, so conversion value is inferred from text
Counters / choke points
- Backrow or spell removal targeting the face-up Continuous Spell
- Negation of the activated removal effect
Best use
Soft-removal and Volcanic body engine. Decks: Volcanic, Blaze Accelerator. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Three effect units in the card text: sending Blaze Accelerator as an activation cost, a once-per-turn Main Phase Volcanic summon from hand, and a once-per-turn destruction effect with a Deck-to-GY Level 1 Pyro cost; Card type is Continuous Spell, so it has no material role; Blaze Accelerator appears as a co-deck partner in 400 of 400 decks; Volcanic archetype accounts for 43.5% of decks
- Observed: Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks, with 94.8% in gameplay type 7; Average of 2.11 copies per deck; Included in the usage statistics at 100% for the Volcanic archetype with 3 typical copies
- Inferred: Backrow removal is the main way to remove the card from the field; Removal value is soft because the target can be answered; Accessibility is high because the activation cost can come from hand, Deck or field
- Data gaps: No combo boards supplied, so combo conversion and power index are text-only inference No banlist token; assumed 3 copies (unlimited) No rulings supplied for the Blaze Accelerator cost interaction Guide mentions are thin and do not describe this card's role directly
