Deck — Deck Power Evaluation
Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)
| Overall score | Value |
|---|---|
| Structural Deck Power | 48.5 |
| Going First | 42 |
| Going Second | 50 |
| Meta Power | provisional |
| Tournament Reliability | 40 |
- Primary strategy: Midrange
- Secondary strategies: Control, Fish banish engine
- Format: master-duel
Legality
Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Banish-based Synchro and Fish boss pressure (Askaan, Snopios, Psiics, Superancient Deepsea King Coelacanth) built from banished Fish monsters; Link and Synchro board pressure from Marincess and Crystron Extra Deck monsters
- Turn 1 (going first): Opening starter such as Beautunaful Princess, Shif, Paces or Zep to banish and search Fish monsters, then build toward a Synchro boss; no combo line recorded
- Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Minairuka to answer the opponent's first play, then continue the banish engine
- Recovery: Banished Fish monsters that re-Special Summon themselves (Shif, Paces, Zep) and Snopios and Psiics searches to rebuild after disruption
- After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan
Why it scores here
The deck reliably opens a Fish-based banish engine on paper: several Level 1 to 2 starters (Beautunaful Princess, Shif, Paces, Zep) can be Special Summoned or banished for value, and the Extra Deck supplies Synchro and Link bosses such as Askaan and Snopios-style Ghoti pressure. Its opening-hand reliability is only moderate: each individual starter has about a 24 to 34 percent chance of appearing in the opening hand, and the archetype core group has about a 58 percent chance of at least one piece, so a brick rate near 40 percent is plausible (Inferred). Interaction is the deck's real strength, with three Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom and Minairuka covering both turns, which earns the going-second and end-board scores. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not treated as power, and card scores were not averaged. The run is Illegal because Called by the Grave is Forbidden in Master Duel and is run twice, so the score is capped and reported as theoretical and structural only; no combo evidence or tournament data exists, so the score rests on text and probability estimates.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 45 | P(at least one archetype core piece in hand of 5) about 0.58; individual starters about 0.24 to 0.34 (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 45 | About 0.42 proxy brick rate with no core card in hand; 6 hand traps and off-archetype tech dilute hands (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 35 | No parseable boards in combo data; ceiling inferred from text only (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No combo median available; floor is a Fish banish-chain loop with uncertain repeatability (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 50 | Several Fish monsters re-summon from the banished zone, giving some alternate routes after disruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 60 | Banish and search effects regenerate resources from the GY and banish zone (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 62 | Infinite Impermanence x3, Ash Blossom x3, Minairuka and Coelacanth negates give multi-layer interaction (Inferred semantic read) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 50 | Six hand traps favour going second but there is no board-breaker density beyond the Synchro bosses (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 55 | Boss ATKs 2100 to 2800 (Askaan 2700, Coelacanth 2800) with no direct-attack or piercing payoff recorded (Verified stat plus Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 60 | 40 main cards with 20 distinct; 10 tech and 14 negation-text cards, though 25.5 percent exact archetype purity lowers coherence (Verified composition plus Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 58 | 12 Synchro and 3 Link Extra cards with a mix of Ghoti and off-archetype bosses (Verified composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | No side deck at all, so no post-side adaptability exists (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link or dated meta sample; Ghoti archetype stats are present but not format fit (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Multi-step Synchro and banish chains with many decision points raise pilot load (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange primary, no secondary blend applied. Structural ≈ 48.5, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Theoretical/structural-only (deck is Illegal): 0.80*Structural(48.5) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 46.8, then banlist-exposure modifier -12 and illegal cap give 35. Meta Power provisional/null.
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.58 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.42 (all Inferred)
- Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
- Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines
Strengths
- Three Infinite Impermanence and three Ash Blossom plus Minairuka give multi-turn interaction
- Several Fish starters that re-summon or search from banish and GY, giving recursion
- Strong Synchro bosses in the Extra Deck with 2100 to 2800 ATK
Weaknesses
- Called by the Grave is Forbidden and over the copy limit, so the list is illegal as built
- Low exact archetype purity (25.5 percent) with many White and generic cards
- No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
- Probability of a brick or non-functional opening hand is high
Critical choke points
- Starter access in the opening hand (about 0.58 for the core group)
- Single-card dependency on Called by the Grave for GY negation, which cannot legally be run
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 Called by the Grave | 1 legal interaction card (for example Maxx C or a legal negate spell) or a second Fish starter | Restores legality; the deck cannot receive a normal score while over the copy limit |
| 2 | 1 off-archetype tech card | 1 more exact-name Ghoti starter | Raises exact archetype purity and starter density for the opening hand |
| 3 | none | a side deck of 3 to 5 cards | Gives the deck any post-side adaptability; currently zero side cards |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality: Called by the Grave Forbidden, 2 copies run, 0 legal (violation); Main 40 and Extra 15 are within size rules; side 0 within 0 to 15; Archetype exact-name purity 25.5 percent; Card text and stats for all listed cards
- Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities (hypergeometric); Interaction density read from negate and removal text; Brick rate estimate of about 0.42
- Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit and matchup coverage (no tournament data)
- Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample deck title is null in the export
