Toy Deck #456608 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Dark Magician the Dragon Knight, Master of Chaos, Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon) reached through Fusion, Xyz and Link summons, with Toy and Dark Magician support; Going-second hand-trap disruption (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Nibiru, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence) followed by a boss on an emptier board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Dark Magician or Toy starter, use Magician's Rod or Toy Box to search, then build a Fusion or Link boss; the list has no combo evidence, so this is inferred from text only
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2 or more hand traps in the 6-card hand to strip the opponent's starter, then rebuild with Toy Soldier, Toy Tank and Dark Magic Attack
• Recovery: Rely on Eternal Soul, Magician's Rod and Mudragon-style recursion from the GY; the archetype core is absent, so recovery depends on generic searchers
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in TCG as submitted: three Forbidden cards (Magicians' Souls, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Azamina Ilia Silvia) are present, three Limited cards exceed their copy limits, and the Extra Deck holds 16 cards against a maximum of 15. Because of this, the evaluation is theoretical and structural only, and the final score is capped low. Structurally, the list leans on 14 hand traps and about 18 negation effects, which earns a fair interaction and going-second read, but it has no combo or tournament evidence to support conversion. Its engine is split across Dark Magician, Red-Eyes and Toy pieces, and only 4 of the archetype's core cards are present, so starter access is weak. The score reflects the system: consistency, interaction and an empty Side Deck were weighed together, and card power was not averaged. Popularity or usage statistics did not earn points, since the archetype's core is almost entirely missing.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (default; strategy is mixed between Toolbox and Stun). Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Copy-limit and size violations (-3); No Side Deck (-1); Illegal cap (-8). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(41.6) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(30) = 39.6; modifiers -12 gives 27.6; Illegal cap applied, final 20 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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

• Interaction density: 14 hand traps and about 18 negation-text cards cover both turns
• Extra Deck boss options reach 3000 ATK (Dark Magician the Dragon Knight, Master of Chaos)
• Going-second hand-trap density gives a real disruption plan

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: three Forbidden cards and three over-limit Limited cards
• Extra Deck of 16 cards exceeds the 15-card maximum
• Archetype purity of 5.3% and no archetype core cards means the engine is incoherent
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo, tournament or win-rate evidence exists

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Magicians' Souls and Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon are core-looking engine pieces; removing them breaks the Dark Magician and Red-Eyes lines
• Dark Magician, Toy and Sinful Spoils support splits across three sub-archetypes with few shared enablers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: three Forbidden cards and three over-limit Limited cards; Extra Deck size 16 exceeds the 15-card maximum; Main 59 and Side 0; archetype purity 5.3%; Hand-trap, negation, searcher and removal text counts from the resolved cards
• Inferred: Starter access probability of about 0.24 for a 3-copy starter in a 5-card opening; Brick and garnet risk from the 27 Level 0 spell and trap slots and the split engine; Going-second hand-trap coverage of about 0.82; Interaction quality from card text and the negation-text count
• Provisional: Matchup fit and Meta Power, which need a dated meta sample; Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional; no dated metagame sample was supplied The deck has no Side Deck, so post-side scoring is absent
