Tellarknight Deck #44129 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 42/100 (±12 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: none
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 20 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s). Restricted cards run: Dimension Shifter (Limited), Abyss Dweller (Forbidden), Reinforcement of the Army (Limited).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rank-Up-Magic Astral Force + Tellarknight Rank-Up
• Turn 1 (going first): Early Set/SoK/SoL + Set 1; Astral Kuriboh/Red Daemon/SoT search; Dimension Shifter floodgate + access to Rank-Ups for OTK
• Turn 2 (going second): Set 1; Astral Kuriboh/Red Daemon/SoT search; Dimension Shifter floodgate; Rank-Up access
• Recovery: Hand traps + SoT backrow removal; Red Daemon recursion; Rank-Up from GY via Tellarknight Lyran/Constellar Ptolemy M7
• After siding: Side into Red Daemon/SoT removal; rely on Dimension Shifter as single chokepoint — high risk post-side

Why it scores here

The deck is heavily combo-centric but sits on an illegal foundation (Abyss Dweller Forbidden, Dimension Shifter over limit, side count violation) which caps practical reliability. It shows strong ceiling via Rank-Up chains supported by Astral Kuriboh and Red Daemon searchers, yet the floor is dragged down by brick risk (many non-Dark Tuners), hand-trap dependency, and a single floodgate choke (Dimension Shifter). Post-side adaptability is weak because the build leans on one key Extra and lacks flexible backrow removal, making repeated performance inconsistent against disruption.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (combo-focused). Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal cards + side violation (-10); High brick rate (-8); Single floodgate choke (-5); No post-side flexibility (-4); Provisional meta data (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Strong Rank-Up synergy with Astral Kuriboh and Red Daemon searchers
• High ceiling via OTK lines once setup is completed
• Good hand-trap count for interaction and disruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal card presence and side violation create automatic consistency and match-up risks
• High brick rate from non-Dark Tuner main deck content
• Single floodgate choke (Dimension Shifter) creates one-point failure
• Limited recursion outside Red Daemon and SoT
• Poor post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Dimension Shifter as sole key Extra engine
• Missing Dark Tuners in main deck reducing early plays
• Over-reliance on Astral Kuriboh for setup consistency
