Why it scores here
Volcanic Rimfire is a Level 1, 300 ATK body whose value comes from its graveyard effects: it banishes itself to send a Volcanic monster from the Deck to the GY, or banishes a Blaze Accelerator to place a Blaze Accelerator Continuous Spell/Trap from the hand or Deck. Those two effects convert one GY resource into a fuel monster plus a field card, which earns the resource_economy and combo_conversion points. Its ATK and Level are not scored, and the absence of Tuner or interaction text keeps material_utility and effect_interaction low. The 400/400 deck presence confirms it is reliably accessible, but that frequency is treated as access only, not as evidence of raw power.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 65 | Included in all 400 sampled decks at 2.18 copies on average, but it is a Level 1 body with no searcher text of its own and no combo starter data (observed, inferred). |
| Combo & Conversion | 55 | Its GY effects send a Deck monster to the GY and place a Blaze Accelerator S/T from the Deck, a two-step conversion from text alone with no recorded board evidence (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 70 | Banishing itself from the GY sends one Volcanic monster to the GY and places one S/T, which nets roughly one card of advantage per use (verified text, inferred net). |
| Effect & Interaction | 10 | The card text contains no negation, removal or hand-trap effect (verified). |
| Material Utility | 40 | Level 1 Pyro is a usable Level material, but the text gives no Tuner status and the body is 300 ATK (verified text, inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 60 | The GY-activated effects survive the field body being negated, but they depend on the card reaching the GY and on once-per-turn limits per effect (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | A 1-cost, non-garnet card run at 2 copies on average with an assumed 3-copy limit, though its effects require Volcanic and Blaze Accelerator support (observed, inferred). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Searcher/Tutor. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 60, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Two independent GY-activated effects, each usable once per turn
- Converts its own GY presence into a Volcanic Deck-to-GY send and a Blaze Accelerator placement
- Present in all 400 sampled decks at about 2.18 copies, showing reliable access
- Clean deckbuilding cost: Level 1, non-garnet, no self-lock text
Weaknesses
- No opponent interaction of any kind
- 300 ATK and no confirmed Tuner status limit its material value
- Requires a Volcanic monster in the Deck and a Blaze Accelerator on field or in GY for full value
- No recorded combo boards, so conversion power rests on text inference
Counters / choke points
- No counter evidence in the pack; the GY effects can be disrupted by generic graveyard-based interruption (inferred, not sourced)
Best use
GY-activated Extender supporting Volcanic and Blaze Accelerator lines. Decks: Volcanic, Snake-Eyes, Diabellstar, Charmer. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Level 1 Effect Monster, Pyro/FIRE, 300 ATK, 0 DEF (card text); GY effect 1 banishes itself to send one Volcanic monster from Deck to GY (card text); GY effect 2 banishes one Blaze Accelerator to place one Blaze Accelerator Continuous S/T from hand or Deck (card text); Both effects are once per turn each (card text); Present in 400 of 400 sampled decks (deck evidence)
- Observed: Average 2.18 copies per deck, 94.5% of decks in gameplay type 7 (deck evidence); Partners such as Volcanic Emperor appear in 100% of sampled decks (deck evidence); Usage statistics show 100% inclusion at 2 copies in the Volcanic archetype (usage statistics)
- Inferred: Two-step GY conversion yields roughly one card of advantage per use; Level 1 body is a usable but limited Level material without confirmed Tuner status; Four deck homes suggest a cross-archetype support role, though labels may be noisy
- Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo conversion is text-only inference no banlist token — assumed 3 copies (unlimited) Tuner status not in card text or evidence Archetype labels for Snake-Eyes, Diabellstar and Charmer decks are unverified against card role no counter or matchup evidence
