Polymerization Deck #433696 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 20 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes Fusion Summon into high-ATK boss monsters; unclear coherence due to deck construction; Synchro/XYZ Summon hybrid lines (speculative, minimal evidence)
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon Blue-Eyes searcher, resolve Wishes for Eyes of Blue or Melody, establish board with unclear interaction layer due to illegal extra deck
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash, Nibiru, Veiler, Impermanence) to disrupt; board-breaker (Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster) unclear on execution pathway
• Recovery: White Stone recursion + GY floating; no clear lines from disruption
• After siding: Unknown; no side deck supplied

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal and receives a theoretical evaluation only. The extra deck exceeds TCG format limits (20 vs 15 max), blocking tournament entry. The core Blue-Eyes engine (Sage, Melody, Wishes, searchers) shows moderate consistency ~47% to open at least one starter, but the list is severely hampered by conflicting construction: it runs Blue-Eyes Fusion synergy cards (Ultimate Fusion, True Light) alongside heavy Synchro tuners (11+ tuners for uncertain Synchro lines) and unrelated stun tech (Nibiru as a hand trap rather than synergy). The extra deck is cluttered with 20 cards across all summon types (7 Fusion, 7 Synchro, 1 XYZ, 5 Link) with no clear board strategy or combo ceiling documented. The hand-trap suite is solid (9 copies) but board-breaking is underspecified. Without combo evidence or coherent synergy between engines, the deck reads as a toolbox that has not committed to a single plan, resulting in low combo median output and high brick risk from conflicting Normal Summons and garnet accumulation.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 35, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 28. Modifiers: Extra-deck illegal (20 > 15) (-15); No combo evidence & conflicting engines (-8); Archetype mismatch (12% core cards) (-5). Final formula: Illegal deck: Final = 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability, capped low due to extra-deck violation and lack of combo evidence. Meta Provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.47 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.53 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Solid hand-trap count (9 copies) covers going-second disruption
• Blue-Eyes searcher core (Sage, Wishes, Melody, Bingo) opens multiple access points to Blue-Eyes White Dragon
• GY float from White Stone of Ancients and True Light provide recovery texture
• Removal suite (Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Ultimate Fusion) offers multiple disruption angles
• Tuner density enables theoretical Synchro recursion through Synchro Rumble and multiple Synchro bosses

Weaknesses

• Extra deck illegal (20 > 15 TCG limit); deck cannot be entered in tournaments
• No combo evidence supplied; best-line and median output unknown
• Conflicting Fusion and Synchro engines in the same 52 slots with no clear hierarchy or coherent plan
• 14 tuner monsters alongside 3 copies of Blue-Eyes White Dragon create conflicting Normal Summon patterns and high brick risk
• Archetype mismatch: only 12% of Polymerization usage-stat core cards present; deck reads as Blue-Eyes rogue/toolbox misclassified
• 52-card main deck with only 28 distinct cards; high copy redundancy without clear consistency benefit
• No documented going-first board or interrupt layer; end-board quality and layering unclear
• No side deck; post-side plan absent

Critical choke points

• Disruption of the single Sage/Melody/Wishes searcher line likely ends the turn with no backup plan documented
• Unclear Synchro vs Fusion commitment; conflicting engines may cause hand-clogging (tuner + Blue-Eyes in hand)
• Extra deck full of flex/unaccountable cards; no clear boss monster rotation or mandatory coverage
• No documented recovery after losing Blue-Eyes White Dragon or all tuners to disruption

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Illegal (extra deck 20 > 15 TCG maximum); Card text: all 47 distinct cards resolved; Main deck size: 52 cards (within 40–60 range, but extra deck violation makes deck unplayable); Banlist status: Harpie's Feather Duster Limited ×1 (legal copy count met); Hand-trap count: 9 copies (Ash ×3, Nibiru ×3, Impermanence ×2, Veiler ×1); Archetype spread: Blue-Eyes dominates (30 copies); Polymerization exact-name ×2
• Observed: None: no tournament link or match records supplied
• Inferred: P(≥1 Blue-Eyes starter in opening hand) ≈ 0.47 from hypergeometric archetype-group draw odds; Combo ceiling unknown; speculated 3–4 summons on turn 1 based on Wishes/Melody into Fusion Summon, but no measured boards; Combo median ≈ 2–3 summons, floor ≈ 1 setter or pass, due to conflicting engines; Brick estimate ≈ 53% from 52-card size and tuner redundancy without clear bootstrap path; Going-first board: likely 1–2 negates + 1 boss monster (3000–4500 ATK); going-second 1–2 board-breakers; Tournament reliability low: high variance from unproven synergy and extra-deck illegality; Synchro vs Fusion commitment unclear; deck reads as exploratory toolbox rather than coherent strategy
• Provisional: Meta Power: Polymerization archetype meta-share unknown; no dated metagame sample supplied; Blue-Eyes archetype share provisional; Post-side plan: no side deck supplied; reliability after siding unknown
• Data gaps: No combo evidence: combo data.total combos = 0; no best line, median power index, or board per starter No tournament link: tournament data.available = false; no archetype meta-share or per-pilot match record No side deck: Side Deck size = 0; post-side plan and best-of-3 reliability unknown No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second split, matchup outcome, game-level brick/starter/OTK rates absent Archetype mismatch: usage statistics show 0% core-card overlap with Lunalight (the dominant Polymerization deck type); deck identity questionable No guides: guide data.total guides = 0; no strategic intent or coherent game plan documented
