Esper Girl — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 58 ± 8 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 58 · Deck: 58 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher/Tutor · Secondary: Material body, Resource economy
Why it scores here
Esper Girl scores on its ability to turn the top card of the Deck into a hand card: once it is removed from play and Special Summoned, it banishes the top Deck card face-down, and when it is sent from the field to the Graveyard that card goes to hand. That is a repeatable +1 card conversion with a Level 2 Tuner body, so resource economy and material utility carry the score. High deck counts (34 decks, 33 at one copy) confirm that the card is practical and easy to run, but they do not raise the score by themselves. The 500 ATK and 300 DEF earn nothing, and the lack of combo data keeps combo conversion near the text-only estimate.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 55 | Appears in 34 of 34 recent decks, mostly Assault Mode, but reaching the removed-from-play state needs a route the evidence does not show (observed for deck presence; inferred for the removal requirement). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | No recorded combo boards, so conversion rests on the text: one trigger can add one card to hand, with no board-building step shown (inferred). |
| Resource Economy | 65 | The effect is a repeatable top-deck-to-hand conversion that nets roughly one card when it resolves through the Graveyard trigger (verified from card text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card carries no negation, removal, or disruption effect (verified from card text). |
| Material Utility | 60 | A Level 2 Tuner Psychic body is a clean generic Synchro material, and the body still works as material after the effect is negated (inferred from stats and type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | The effect depends on being removed from play and then Special Summoned, which limits its use across zones and turns (inferred from text). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | Runs as a single copy in 33 of 34 decks with no garnet or lock restriction, and its Psychic partners are shared with the rest of the archetype pool (observed for copies; inferred for restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher/Tutor + 0.3 Material body. Intrinsic ≈ 58, Deck ≈ 58, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Converts the top card of the Deck into hand, giving a repeatable +1 card effect
- Level 2 Tuner Psychic body that still works as Synchro material
- Single-copy, low-restriction deckbuilding cost with broad archetype reach (14 archetypes)
Weaknesses
- The effect needs the card to be removed from play and then Special Summoned, which is a fiddly, multi-step requirement
- No effect interaction or disruption of its own
- No recorded combo boards to confirm how far it converts from a realistic start
Counters / choke points
- Negating the Special Summon trigger or the removed-from-play state stops the top-deck removal (inferred from text)
- Blanking the effect leaves only the body, which limits it to material use (inferred from text)
Best use
Searcher/Tutor (top-deck-to-hand conversion) with Tuner material body. Decks: Assault Mode. Suggested copies: 1.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card text: the effect banishes the top Deck card face-down on Special Summon from removed-from-play, and adds it to hand when the card is sent from the field to the Graveyard; Stats: Tuner Monster, Level 2, EARTH, Psychic, 500 ATK / 300 DEF; Deck sample: 34 decks; 33 run one copy and 1 runs two; 52.9% in Assault Mode; 14 distinct archetypes
- Observed: Top partner Emergency Teleport appears in 97.1% of sampled decks (33 of 34); Gameplay split: 82.4% in gameplay type 7 and 17.6% in gameplay type 4
- Inferred: The removed-from-play requirement is hard to meet on its own, which keeps accessibility mid-range; Blanking the effect still leaves a usable Tuner body for material purposes; Primary role is Searcher/Tutor, with Material body as the secondary role
- 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 information on how the removed-from-play state is reached in practice
