Emergency Apport — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 50 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 48 · Deck: 52 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Recovery/Recursion · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Emergency Apport converts one trap card into a Special Summon of one Level 5-or-lower Psychic from the GY or banishment, so its value is recursion of a body rather than interaction or material. The 8-deck sample shows it is a live, repeatable slot with 2.5 average copies across 6 archetypes, which supports the accessibility and deckbuilding scores. The Kozmo-heavy partner list is consistent with an archetype-specific fit, not proof of intrinsic strength, and no combo boards were supplied, so combo conversion is text-only. High card-text impact or popularity earned no points.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Set trap that needs a set turn before it can activate; it is in 8 of 8 sampled decks at about 2.5 copies each (observed, inferred for the set-turn timing). |
| Combo & Conversion | 40 | Text yields one Special Summon of a Lv5-or-lower Psychic; no combo examples or power index were supplied (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | Spends the trap card and returns one monster from GY or banishment, roughly card-neutral with a recovery of a body (inferred from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | No negation, removal or disruption in the text (verified). |
| Material Utility | 20 | It creates no material; the summoned body's value is outside this card (inferred). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 35 | A face-down trap can be stopped by backrow removal or negation, and it cannot be used the turn it is set; the target pool is broad across Psychic monsters (inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 75 | One slot, no garnet or lock text, and 3 copies are fine; partners are staples rather than restrictive requirements (verified from text and deck copies). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Recovery/Recursion + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 52, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Broad Psychic target pool (Level 5 or lower, from GY or banished) keeps it live across many boards
- Card-neutral recursion for a single trap slot
- Shows up in 8 of 8 sampled decks across 6 archetypes
Weaknesses
- Trap timing: must be set and cannot be used the turn it is set
- No interaction, material value, or combo starter role
- Depends on Psychic bodies already in GY or banished
Counters / choke points
- Backrow removal or negation on the set trap (generic; no counter data supplied)

Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: Special Summon one Level 5-or-lower Psychic from GY or banished; Deck sample: 8 decks, 6 archetypes, 2.5 average copies, max 3; Top partners include Emergency Teleport in 8 of 8 decks
- Observed: Kozmo partners at 87.5% co-deck rate; Gameplay split across two gameplay types (5 and 3 decks)
- Inferred: Trap set-turn restriction applies (card type); Card-neutral recursion economy; Combo conversion scored from text only because no combo boards were supplied
- 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 no top-card ranking context supplied
