Why it scores here
Parallel Teleport is a Quick-Play Spell that converts one Psychic on the field into a Level 7-or-lower Psychic from the Deck or Extra Deck, so it works as a body swap that reaches the Extra Deck rather than as a board-maker on its own. Its real value is access: it is in 392 of the 392 sampled decks, and its top partners are staples of the same Psychic lanes, which confirms the role is practical. High stats earned no points, and the score is held down by the LP-loss clause, the once-per-turn limit, the Psychic-only restriction, and the absence of any combo or interaction evidence.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 75 | Runs in 392 of 392 sampled decks at 1.94 copies average, with Mind Procedure and Teleport Fusion as top partners, so access is reliable within Psychic lanes (observed). |
| Combo & Conversion | 45 | The text converts one tributed Psychic into one Deck or Extra Deck summon, a one-for-one body upgrade with no stated multi-body payoff, and no recorded combo boards exist to show more (inferred from text). |
| Resource Economy | 55 | No card advantage is printed; it trades a field body for a deck or Extra Deck body and can cost LP equal to the Level difference x 1000 (verified from text). |
| Effect & Interaction | 5 | The card has no negation, removal, or disruption clause (verified from text). |
| Material Utility | 0 | It is a Spell and cannot be material, so the score is zero (verified from card type). |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 40 | Being a Quick-Play, it can respond to the opponent but is exposed to hand traps and negations, and it is limited to once per turn (verified from text, with hand-trap exposure inferred). |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 70 | It takes one slot at about 1.9 copies per deck with no garnet or lock, but it only works with Psychic monsters (observed copies, verified restriction). |
Calculation
Weight profile: Extender primary role, no secondary blend. Intrinsic ≈ 48, Deck ≈ 58.6, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Near-universal inclusion in the sampled Psychic decks (392 of 392), with strong partner overlap (observed)
- Reaches Deck and Extra Deck Level 7-or-lower Psychics, giving access to Extra Deck bodies (verified)
- Cheap to run at about 1.9 copies with no garnet or lock (observed)
Weaknesses
- Only works with Psychic monsters, and the Tribute requires a Psychic with a Level (verified)
- Costs LP equal to the difference in Levels when the summoned monster differs (verified)
- Once per turn, and it blocks non-Psychic Special Summons the turn it is activated (verified)
- No combo, interaction, or material value; a Spell cannot be material (verified)
Counters / choke points
- Hand traps and negations that respond to the Quick-Play activation (inferred from card type; no counter data supplied)
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, a common in-deck partner also used against such activations (observed partner, inference on its response role)
Best use
Extender: Psychic Deck-to-field body swap that reaches Level 7-or-lower Psychics. Decks: Psy-Frame, P.U.N.K., Myutant. Suggested copies: 2.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Tribute 1 Psychic with a Level, then Special Summon a Level 7-or-lower Psychic from Deck or Extra Deck (card text); LP loss equal to the Level difference x 1000 (card text); Once per turn, and only Psychic Special Summons the turn it is activated (card text); Spell card type, so it cannot be material (card type)
- Observed: Present in 392 of 392 sampled decks at 1.94 copies average (decks_evidence); Top partners: Mind Procedure 99.2%, Teleport Fusion 98.5% (decks_evidence); Archetype homes: P.U.N.K. 40.1%, Psy-Frame 34.9%, Myutant 9.2% (decks_evidence)
- Inferred: Extender role: a Deck-to-field body swap, not a searcher or starter (from text, no combo data); Quick-Play timing leaves it exposed to responses and negations (from card type)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo conversion is text-only inference no guides supplied no banlist token, so legal copies assumed 3 no usage statistics (StatisticsCard), so inclusion is from the deck sample only
