Toy Deck #450615 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck fusion/synchro finishers such as Azamina Sol Erysichthon, Fiendsmith's Desirae and Diabell, Queen of the White Forest; the list does not show a repeatable finisher engine (Inferred).; Diabellstar the Black Witch and Silvera-style synchro boards from the White Forest / Azamina package (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Elzette, Toy Soldier, Fiendsmith Engraver or WANTED) and try to reach a Fusion/Synchro; with 15 hand traps the turn-1 plan is mostly reactive (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 15 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to interrupt the opponent's first summons, then rebuild from searchers (Inferred).
• Recovery: Searchers (17 searcher-text cards) and GY-based revival effects (Astellar, Rucia, Silvy) can rebuild, but the list depends on several cards it cannot legally run (Inferred).
• After siding: No side deck is listed, so there is no post-side plan; the list is not playable best-of-3 as built (Verified).

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal in TCG: 16 Extra Deck cards exceed the 15 cap, the Side Deck is empty, and it runs six Forbidden cards and several over-limit Limited and Semi-Limited cards. Per the rubric it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score, so the result is capped at 25 and labeled theoretical/structural only. The structure is a Toolbox/Midrange hybrid built from about twelve archetype sub-packages (only 7% of cards match the exact Toy name), so engine coherence is weak. Its interaction suite (15 hand traps, 14 negation-text and 13 removal-text cards) gives it some resilience and going-second value, but the lack of combo records, tournament data and a side deck keeps it low. Popularity and archetype usage were not used to raise the score, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary; Midrange secondary (hybrid disclosed, not blended numerically). Structural ≈ 43.4, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-2); illegal-list cap (0). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: formula 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 0.80*43.4 + 0.20*30 = 40.7, then modifiers -10 = 30.7, then capped at 25 for Illegal status (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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

• 15 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards give interaction on both going-first and going-second turns.
• 17 searcher-text cards support hand consistency and recovery.
• High-ATK Extra-Deck finishers (Diabellstar, Desirae, Azamina Sol Erysichthon) give closing power when the engine connects.

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Extra Deck over size, empty Side Deck, and several Forbidden cards.
• Low archetype purity (7%) across about 12 sub-archetypes weakens engine coherence.
• No combo, tournament or side-deck evidence to confirm performance.

Critical choke points

• Legality: the list cannot be submitted as built until the Forbidden and over-limit cards are removed.
• Extra Deck of 16 cards must drop to 15 or fewer.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal (Extra 16 > 15; empty Side Deck; six Forbidden cards and several over-limit Limited/Semi-Limited copies).; Archetype purity: 7% exact-name match; 12 sub-archetypes present.; Usage stats: 2 of 24 core archetype cards present (8.3%).
• Inferred: Searcher and hand-trap hypergeometric estimates (0.86 and 0.87).; Going-second interaction value and Toolbox/Midrange strategy classification.; Structural score components D1-D14.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null.; Matchup and format fit (D13) are Provisional with no tournament or dated meta sample.
• 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 are absent. No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown. No Side Deck; post-side performance cannot be assessed. Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample.
