Destiny HERO Deck #390716 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Field 3000-ATK or 2500-ATK beaters (Imsety, The Zombie Vampire, Yellow Dragon Ninja, Destiny HERO - Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer) and Ninja Fusion/Link pressure (Meizen, Yaguramaru, Saizo). Recorded boards are absent, so this is a card-text read (Inferred).; Borrelsword Dragon and Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord as Extra Deck closers; Ninja monsters attacking directly via Meizen's text (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Ninja searcher (Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo, Noble Knight's Shield-Bearer or Tobari) to add a second Ninja or Ninjitsu Art card, then bridge into a Fusion or Link Summon (Inferred from card text; no combo data).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Evenly Matched and Super Polymerization for the opponent's turn, then answer the board with Lightning Storm or Dinowrestler Pankratops (Inferred from card text).
• Recovery: Ninjitsu Art and Ninja searchers in the GY (Shield-Bearer, Baku, Twilight Ninja Getsuga, Hidden Village) restart the chain across turns (Inferred from card text).
• After siding: Not applicable: side count is 0, so no post-side plan exists in this list.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in TCG: five Forbidden copies are run (Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent, Amorphage Goliath, Abyss Dweller, Cross-Sheep), and the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a limit of 15. Under the rubric's legality cap, the score is held low and labelled structural-only. The structure is a Ninja-centred toolbox with heavy searcher density (14 searcher-text cards, P(at least one in opening 5) about 0.81, Inferred) and a 3-copy starter with about a 27% chance of appearing in the opening 5 (Inferred). Only 5 of 69 main and Extra copies are exact Destiny HERO names (7.2% purity), so the Destiny HERO identity is mostly a label on a Ninja, Horus, Noble Knight and Cyclone mix. The score reflects the system as a whole (consistency, interaction, and closing power across engines that partly conflict), not an average of card scores, and not the archetype's popularity, which gives no points here. No recorded boards, tournament data, or side deck exist, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only estimates.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 39.5, Going First ≈ 36, Going Second ≈ 34, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 28. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflicts (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(39.5) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(28) = 37.2, then context modifiers -9 = 28 (Meta provisional, legality cap applied)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ — (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher and recursion text (14 searchers, Ninjitsu Art recursion from the GY) keeps resources flowing across turns
• Layered removal and negation text (22 removal, 3 negation) plus 3000-ATK beaters gives end-board interaction and closing power
• Extra Deck has mixed Fusion, Xyz and Link coverage, so several boards can be reached from the same hand

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 5 Forbidden copies and an Extra Deck of 17 against a 15 cap
• Low exact-archetype purity (7.2%) means the engines conflict and the list is not a coherent Destiny HERO build
• Only 3 of 25 usage-stat core cards are present (12%), so the list is not built on the archetype standard
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• The Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent, Amorphage Goliath, Abyss Dweller, Cross-Sheep) must be removed before the list can be played at all
• The Ninja starter chain depends on 3-copy starters that each have about a 27% chance of appearing in the opening 5, so a single missed starter stalls the line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 5 Forbidden copies run and Extra Deck of 17 against a 15 limit; Exact-name archetype purity 7.2% (5 of 69 extra and main copies); Side deck count is 0; Competitive card stats and types for the listed monsters
• Inferred: Starter and searcher probabilities (hypergeometric); Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Interaction density from text tags; Brick risk from off-archetype density
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate, brick, starter or OTK telemetry exists for this deck Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck is empty, so post-side scoring is structural-only
