Vision HERO Deck #480235 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link Summons of Elemental HERO and Xtra HERO monsters (Neos Lord, Sunrise, Shining Neos Wingman, Malicious Bane, Cross Crusader) for board pressure; Destiny HERO and Evil HERO fusion boards via Dark Fusion, Fusion Destiny and Polymerization
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Vision HERO or HERO starter, search Polymerization or Miracle Fusion, and make a Fusion Summon; the list has no reliable T1 combo.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash, Droll, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Artifact Lancea) to stop the opponent's first play, then convert with a Fusion Summon.
• Recovery: Recover through HERO searchers (Evil Assault, Shadow Mist, Vyon, Stratos) and recursion from the GY (Vision HERO Increase, Destiny HERO - Denier).
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists.

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird exceed their copy limits, and Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent are Forbidden, so it gets a capped structural-only score. Structurally it has a reasonable opening chance (about 0.25 per 3-copy card in a 5-card hand, and about 0.61 that the archetype core is present) and a strong going-second hand-trap presence (about 0.87 for at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand). Its weaknesses are the low exact-archetype purity (8.6 percent, 64 off-archetype copies), the lack of any recorded combos to confirm conversion, and the absence of a Side Deck. Popularity and archetype familiarity earned no points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: min(0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers, 30); unweighted pre-cap value about 33 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Layered hand-trap interaction (Ash, Droll, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Lancea)
• Strong going-second hand-trap density (about 0.87 per 6-card hand)
• High-ATK Fusion and Link endboard options

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy limits and Forbidden cards must be fixed before it can be played
• Very low archetype purity (8.6 percent exact name)
• No Side Deck
• No recorded combos or win data to confirm conversion

Critical choke points

• Polymerization (1 copy) or Dark Fusion is the sole route to most Fusion Summons
• Most Extra Deck access depends on a HERO monster being in hand or on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0; Ash x3 (2 legal), Droll x3 (1 legal), Called x1 and Triple Tactics x1 Forbidden; Exact-name purity 8.6 percent, 64 off-archetype copies
• Inferred: Starter and hand-trap hypergeometric estimates (0.25, 0.61, 0.87); Interaction and endboard reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample)
• 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 win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) no Side Deck, so post-side plan is unevaluable Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
