Triamids Deck #433774 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Field Spell engine
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 10 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Triamid board pressure: Field Spells and Rock-type bodies build a board, then Triamid Sphinx and ATK-boost effects (Triamid Kingolem, Triamid Dancer) convert into attacks.; Xyz finishers from the Extra Deck (Full Armored Utopic Ray Lancer, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS) when a monster is already on the field.
• Turn 1 (going first): Use Triamid Loading or Metaverse/Terraforming to put a Field Spell into the Field Zone, Normal Summon Rock-type monsters (Triamid Hunter, Triamid Master), then Special Summon Triamid Sphinx through a Triamid card's effect. (Inferred from card text.)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Triamid Master and the Triamid Pulse / Triamid Master destruction effects to answer the opponent's Set cards, then rebuild the Field Spell and Sphinx line on the next turn. (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards.)
• Recovery: Triamid Sphinx and Triamid Master can be Special Summoned again when Triamid cards are destroyed, and Triamid Dancer and Triamid Pulse can recycle Triamid cards and Field Spells from the Graveyard. (Inferred from card text.)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. The deck cannot adjust between games.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: three copies of Chicken Game exceed the single legal copy in OCG, so it is scored as a structural read only and capped at 30. The Triamid core is consistent: the archetype's core cards are in the opening hand almost every time, and several searchers (Triamid Loading, Metaverse, Terraforming, Pot of Duality) help find a Field Spell. Recursion through Triamid Sphinx, Triamid Master and Triamid Dancer lets the engine recover after a Triamid is destroyed, which earns the most points. Closing power comes from Sphinx, Kingolem's ATK boost and the Xyz finishers, but there are no hand traps or floodgates and no side deck, so interaction and going-second strength stay modest. No recorded boards exist and no meta sample was supplied, so the scores rest on card text and probability estimates. Popularity of the archetype and the average strength of the cards were not counted.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50.7, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6). Final formula: Illegal deck: uncapped 0.80*50.7 + 0.20*50 = 50.6, minus 6 banlist modifier = 44.6, then capped at 30 per the Illegal rule. Structural-only, theoretical read. Meta power null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is almost always in the opening hand (~99.7%, Inferred)
• 16 searcher-text cards help find the Field Spell engine
• Recursion through Triamid Sphinx, Master and Dancer gives resilience
• Xyz finishers and ATK-boost effects give closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Chicken Game runs 3 copies against an OCG limit of 1
• No hand traps, no floodgates, and no side deck
• Only 25 of 40 main cards are named Triamid; the rest are off-archetype
• Extra Deck: three Gorgonic copies plus seven single-copy monsters from different archetypes

Critical choke points

• Field Spell in the Field Zone: Fortress, Cruiser and Kingolem all depend on it
• Triamid Sphinx needs a Triamid card's effect to Special Summon
• Chicken Game must be cut to one copy to be legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Chicken Game is 3 copies vs a Limited limit of 1; main 40, extra 10, side 0; Card text and stats for every listed card; Archetype-core inclusion of 100% for Sphinx, Metaverse, Loading and Fortress in usage stats
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates from the hypergeometric draw table; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions from card text; Recursion and interaction reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no side deck is registered no win-rate telemetry exists for this deck Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
