Why it scores here
EMERGENCY! converts a Rescue-ACE deck and its tribute fodder into one Defense-Position Rescue-ACE body from the Deck, and its Main Phase GY effect can banish itself to set a Rescue-ACE Trap back from the GY. The score comes from live access (it is in all 400 sampled decks at about 3 copies each) and a modest recursion engine, not from its effect text alone. Its effects only work with Rescue-ACE pieces and it has no interaction of its own, so the Rescue-ACE lock caps its score and no combo boards were supplied to show a payoff.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 78 | Quick-Play Spell in 400/400 sampled decks at about 2.68 copies on average, live from hand but needing a Rescue-ACE monster in Deck and a tribute (observed; text verified). |
| Combo & Conversion | 50 | Converts into one Defense-Position Rescue-ACE body from Deck with no combo boards supplied, so the conversion is text-only (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 58 | Deck-to-field summon offset by a one-for-one tribute, plus a once-per-turn GY banish that resets a Rescue-ACE Trap, so roughly even with some recursion (verified text, inferred value). |
| Effect & Interaction | 35 | No direct negation or removal; only a Trap reset from the GY, which is indirect interaction (verified text). |
| Material Utility | 15 | A Spell cannot be used as material and its effects only summon or set other pieces, so material value is minimal (verified). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 55 | Quick-Play timing and a GY-based effect give some recovery across turns, but both effects are once per turn each (verified text, inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 45 | Three copies run in 300/400 decks, but it is dead without Rescue-ACE pieces, which restricts the deck build (observed; inferred restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Extender + 0.3 Recovery/Recursion. Intrinsic ≈ 52, Deck ≈ 54, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: Archetype-locked restriction (-2). Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Live in all 400 sampled decks at about 3 copies each
- Deck-to-field summon with a once-per-turn GY trap recursion
- Quick-Play timing gives it some flexibility
Weaknesses
- Rescue-ACE-locked, so it is dead in non-Rescue-ACE builds
- Needs a Rescue-ACE monster in Deck and a tribute, so it is not a free conversion
- No direct interaction and no supplied combo boards to prove the conversion
Counters / choke points
- Monster-based removal or bounce that removes the Rescue-ACE tribute fodder
- Negation of the activation, which blanks both effects
Best use
Extender with GY trap recursion inside the Rescue-ACE engine. Decks: Rescue-ACE. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Quick-Play Spell with a Rescue-ACE-locked Deck summon and tribute effect; Main Phase GY effect banishes itself to set a Rescue-ACE Trap, once per turn each effect; Present in 400/400 sampled decks, average 2.68 copies
- Observed: Partners such as Rescue-ACE Hydrant and Preventer appear in 100% of sampled decks; Copies distribution: 300 decks run 3 copies
- Inferred: Recursion value of the Trap reset depends on which Rescue-ACE Traps are in the GY; Deck-to-field conversion is roughly resource-neutral
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference Rescue-ACE appears under three archetype_ids (843, 1485, 1149), so archetype attribution is ambiguous 36 distinct archetypes for a Rescue-ACE-locked card suggests deck archetype labels are not a reliable home signal no banlist token, assumed 3 copies (unlimited) no ruling or FAQ data supplied for the Trap-set interaction
