Adamancipator Deck #37296 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 15 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 16 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Adamancipator Risen Rock-based Synchro and Xyz boards (Dragite, Raptite, Gallant Granite) pressuring through the excavation engine, if the forbidden and over-limit cards are removed; Extra Deck link and Xyz boards (Topologic Zeroboros, Underworld Goddess, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS) as a backup threat
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Normal Summon or Special Summon an Adamancipator Tuner (Seeker or Researcher), excavate with the Main Phase effect for a Level 4 or lower Rock, then build toward an Adamancipator Risen Synchro (Inferred, no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap backed defence (Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Ghost Reaper from the Side Deck) to stop the opponent's board, then rebuild through excavation and Gallant Granite (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through Revival Golem and Rock recursion from the GY, plus Rock Band Xenoguitar's GY return (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Side in Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Ghost Reaper and Raigeki, which fit the Rock-engine plan, after removing the Forbidden and over-limit cards (Inferred; the side list is not a verified fix)

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal for TCG: it runs 12 Forbidden cards, including Maxx C, Called by the Grave, Kashtira Fenrir, Block Dragon and Apollousa, and it exceeds the copy limit on several Limited cards, so it gets a structural-only read capped at 30. Structurally, the 15-copy Adamancipator core gives about 0.78 odds of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 20 searcher-text cards support continuity (Inferred). The engine's ceiling is a Rock excavation into Adamancipator Risen and Gallant Granite boards, but there are no recorded boards, so both the ceiling and the median are text-only inference. Interaction is thin in the legal main deck and mostly sits in the Side Deck. No popularity or archetype usage was used to earn points, and the score was not produced by averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (Midrange profile used; no separate secondary weighting applied). Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) = 49.2; modifier -12 gives 37.2; Illegal deck capped to 30 (theoretical/structural-only, no normal Final Contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.22 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Adamancipator core is 15 copies and reliably opens (Inferred from hypergeometric)
• Dense searcher and recursion text helps continuity (Inferred from text)
• Side Deck has coherent hand-trap and reset options (Verified composition)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in TCG: 12 Forbidden cards and several over-limit Limited cards (Verified legality)
• Only 14.7% exact-name archetype purity; 64 off-archetype copies (Verified composition)
• No recorded combos, so the combo ceiling and floor cannot be measured (Verified data gap)
• Legal main-deck interaction is thin (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Removing the Forbidden cards (Maxx C, Called by the Grave, Kashtira Fenrir, Block Dragon, Apollousa) leaves gaps in the main and Extra Decks
• Hand-trap coverage depends on Side Deck cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status with 12 Forbidden cards and copy-limit violations; Main 60, Extra 15, Side 15 are within size rules; Archetype purity 14.7% and 64 off-archetype copies; Core-group hypergeometric P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.776
• Inferred: Combo ceiling and floor from card text only; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Brick and consistency estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
