Deck — Deck Power Evaluation
Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)
| Overall score | Value |
|---|---|
| Structural Deck Power | 59 |
| Going First | 58 |
| Going Second | 62 |
| Meta Power | provisional |
| Tournament Reliability | 55 |
- Primary strategy: Midrange
- Secondary strategies: Control
- Format: master-duel
Legality
Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Synchro boss beats (Askaan, Arionpos, Ghoti of the Deep Beyond, White Aura Whale) backed by banish-based hand-trap protection; Banish-loop value and Synchro recursion through Fish-Tuner and Ghoti Tuners
- Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fish starter (Beautunaful Princess, White Sardine, Psiics, Snopios, Paces) and extend into a Level 6-8 Fish Synchro while holding a hand trap
- Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence or Crossout Designator to interrupt the opponent's first board, then Synchro through
- Recovery: Rebuild from the banished Fish (Paces, Shif, Zep, Beautunaful Princess) and re-Synchro from the Extra Deck
- After siding: Not available: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
Why it scores here
The deck is scored as a system: its 11-copy archetype core gives about 82% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric), and three-copy Fish starters (Beautunaful Princess, White Sardine, Infinite Impermanence and similar) give redundant openings. Interaction is the strongest part: 10 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards give about 85% chance of a hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand (Inferred), which supports the Control and going-second reads. The Synchro boss suite (Askaan, Arionpos, Ghoti of the Deep Beyond, White Aura Whale) gives real closing power, but no recorded boards exist, so combo ceiling and median are text-only inference. Popularity and archetype usage were not used to raise the score, and the card scores were not averaged. The deck is Illegal (two copies of the Forbidden Called by the Grave), so the score is capped at 30 and the evaluation is theoretical and structural only.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 66 | P(>=1 archetype-core card in opening 5) ≈ 0.82; 3-copy Fish starters ≈ 0.34 each (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 58 | 10 hand traps and 8 searchers offset a number of 0-Level non-starters; brick rate estimated from text (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 60 | Ceiling from Ghoti banish-Synchro text; no parseable boards (Inferred, text-only) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 48 | Median output unknown: zero recorded boards in combos_evidence (Inferred, no data) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 68 | Redundant Fish starters (3x Beautunaful, 3x White Sardine, 2x White Sunfish) and hand traps keep multiple lines alive after one interruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 60 | Banish-based costs are regenerated by Ghoti recursion and searchers; no resource signature recorded (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 66 | 12 negation-text and 10 hand-trap cards; Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Ghost Ogre cover layered interaction (Verified text, Inferred quality) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 62 | Going-second hand-trap probability ≈ 0.85 supports challenging an opposing board (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 62 | Synchro bosses at 2100-2900 ATK and White Aura Whale 2-attack text; closing is plausible but unobserved (Verified stats, Inferred use) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 58 | 40-card Main at the minimum, 21 distinct cards; exact-name Ghoti purity 23.6% but Ghoti plus White shares are coherent (Verified composition, Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 55 | 13 Synchro and 2 Link Extra cards; several Extra slots (Trishula, Marincess, Archethys) are flex or off-archetype (Verified composition, Inferred) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | No Side Deck at all, so post-side adaptability is effectively absent (Verified composition) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament link and no dated metagame sample; Provisional, placed at neutral |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 58 | Banish timing, Quick-Effect interactions and multi-step Synchro lines raise decision load (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Control considered in the interaction read but not weighted separately. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (Forbidden card run) (-12). Final formula: Structural 59 and TournamentReliability 55 give 0.80*59 + 0.20*55 = 58; banlist-exposure modifier -12 gives 46; Illegal-deck cap sets the final value to 30 (theoretical/structural-only, not a normal Final Contextual score)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · 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 Fish starter redundancy: 3x Beautunaful Princess, 3x White Sardine, 2x White Sunfish
- 10 hand traps give strong going-second interaction (≈0.85 chance in a 6-card hand, Inferred)
- Synchro boss suite with 2100-2900 ATK bosses and a White Aura Whale 2-attack threat
- Coherent Ghoti plus White engine with banish-based recursion
Weaknesses
- Illegal list: 2x Called by the Grave is Forbidden in Master Duel
- No Side Deck at all, so no post-side plan
- No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are unmeasured
- Off-archetype Extra Deck splashes (Trishula, Marincess, Archethys) dilute the Synchro engine
Critical choke points
- Legality: the Forbidden Called by the Grave copies cap the deck regardless of structure
- Fish Tuner availability for Synchro summons (Shif, Zep, Paces, Fishborg Harpooner)
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2x Called by the Grave | Two non-Forbidden slots: a second copy of a 1-copy Ghoti engine piece (Keaf or Zep) or a legal negate | Makes the list legal so it can receive a normal Final Contextual score; the Forbidden copies are the only reason for the Illegal status |
| 2 | 1x Fishborg Harpooner (or 1x Trishula) | 1x Side Deck slot tailored to the format | Adds a post-side plan, which the deck currently lacks (D12 = 15) |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 counts match the GameplayType size rules; 2x Called by the Grave is Forbidden (legal copies 0); Crossout Designator, Gold Sarcophagus and One for One are Limited at 1 copy each (legal); Archetype core 11 copies; 13 Ghoti and 11 White exact-name copies
- Inferred: ≈0.82 at-least-one core card in opening 5 (hypergeometric); ≈0.85 at-least-one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand; Ghoti banish-Synchro loop viability and ceiling; Interaction layering and going-second board-breaking quality
- Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13) — no dated meta sample or 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, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck supplied, so post-side (D12) cannot be measured
