Quick Launch — Power Evaluation
Final Score: 73 ± 5 · Confidence: Medium
- Intrinsic: 71 · Deck: 74 · Meta: provisional
- Primary role: Searcher / Tutor · Secondary: Extender
Why it scores here
Quick Launch is a highly efficient searcher that fetches Rokket monsters from the deck to enable the archetype's combo lines, running at near-maximal copies (2.94 average) across Dragon Link, Rokket, and 26 total distinct archetypes. The card's quick-play timing and zero deckbuilding cost make it extremely accessible and flexible. However, the summoned body cannot attack and is destroyed at end phase, making it a temporary material contributor rather than a persistent value engine, and it provides no inherent disruption. Its score reflects its role as a core enabler rather than a power driver.
Axis scores
| Axis | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Accessibility | 92 | Runs at 2.94 copies average with 95% of decks maxing at 3 copies; quick-play spell activation available immediately in hand (verified) |
| Combo & Conversion | 78 | Appears in 100% of combo sample (2/2) with average power index 69; enables boards reaching 3 bosses and +5 card advantage (observed) |
| Resource Economy | 65 | Converts 1 card into 1 temporary body via search, generating neutral economy on its own but part of advantage-generating lines with +5 net (observed) |
| Effect & Interaction | 18 | Quick-Play spell type enables reactive usage, but card text contains zero disruption or interaction clauses; all value depends on the searched piece (verified) |
| Material Utility | 8 | Spell card provides no material utility itself; searched Rokket body is the material contributor, destroyed end phase (verified) |
| Resilience & Flexibility | 72 | Quick-play timing allows reactive activation; 26 distinct archetypes run it with multiple Rokket targets providing targeting flexibility (observed) |
| Deck-Building Efficiency | 88 | Zero restrictive locks or special requirements; runs at maximum copies in all major homes across Dragon Link, Rokket, and Borrel variants (observed) |
Calculation
Weight profile: 0.7 Searcher / Tutor + 0.3 Extender. Intrinsic ≈ 71, Deck ≈ 74, Meta = provisional. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.40*Intrinsic + 0.60*Deck
Strengths
- Extremely high deck inclusion across 400 matched decks (2.94 copies average, 95% at maximum 3 copies)
- Highly splashable searcher that appears in 26 distinct archetypes, not limited to Rokket variants
- Quick-play spell with reactive timing, enabling usage during opponent's turn
- Zero deckbuilding cost or restrictive locks; efficient search effect with straightforward resolution
- Enables high-power combo boards averaging 69 power index
Weaknesses
- Summoned Rokket monster cannot attack, reducing immediate tempo value
- Monster is destroyed at end phase, making it temporary material rather than persistent value
- No inherent disruption or opponent interaction; purely an enabler card
- Vulnerable to hand traps and special-summon negation (Ash Blossom, etc.)
- Small combo evidence sample (2 combos) with no specific role assignment, leaving actual application details unclear
Counters / choke points
- Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (negates special summon)
- Infinite Impermanence (negates during activation if in hand/GY)
- Veiler effects targeting special-summon chains
- Deck-access denial cards
Best use
Consistent searcher and combo enabler, typically played at 3 copies. Decks: Dragon Link, Rokket, Borrel Dragon Link, Bystial Dragon Link. Suggested copies: 3.
Evidence & gaps
- Verified: Card searches and special-summons one Rokket monster from deck to field (card text); Summoned monster cannot attack; destroyed at end phase (card text); Quick-play spell card with immediate activation timing (card type); Appears in 100% of 400 matched decks at average 2.94 copies (deck evidence); Unlimited copies on assumed banlist (data gap context); 100% inclusion in Dragon Link and Rokket archetypes across multiple variants (usage statistics)
- Observed: Appears in 100% of combo sample (2 combos, small sample); Average power index 69 when present in combos (high-power boards); Used across 26 distinct archetypes beyond pure Rokket home (deck evidence); 100% co-appearance with core pieces (Absorouter Dragon, Rokket Tracer, Striker Dragon); 95% of decks run maximum 3 copies (deck evidence distribution)
- Inferred: Functions as primary Searcher/Tutor role via deck-access effect (from card text + deck consistency); Functions as secondary Extender role via summoned body (from card text + combo structure); Very splashable across Dragon-based strategies and control decks (from 26 archetype spread); Quick-play timing enables reactive or proactive usage depending on line structure (from spell type); Temporary body limits resource accumulation but fits into immediate synergy patterns (from end-phase destruction clause)
- Data gaps: Combo sample is very small (2 combos only) and does not assign specific role tags to Quick Launch No banlist data provided; unlimited status assumed Guides mention the card in CORE sections but do not detail its specific function in lines
