Ghoti Deck #497011 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro/Link beatdown; Hand‑trap disruption
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Fish tuner, search a non‑tuner, and aim for a turn‑1 Synchro such as Askaan or White Aura Whale.
• Turn 2 (going second): Set up hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, etc.), then banish‑special‑summon a tuner to Synchro on the opponent’s turn.
• Recovery: Use banish‑recursion (Zep, Shif, Keaf) and draw power (Moray of Avarice) to refill resources after disruption.
• After siding: No side deck; rely on flexible Extra‑Deck summons to adapt.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens with a Fish tuner or alternative starter about one‑third of the time and can assemble a Synchro or Link beatdown by turn two. Hand‑trap suite and banish‑recursion give it solid resilience and resource swing, while high‑ATK synchro monsters provide closing power. Brick risk from many duplicate searchers and the lack of a side deck lower consistency, and without meta data the matchup fit is uncertain. Scores reflect the system’s overall reliability rather than card‑average strength.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57.8, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: none. 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 hand‑trap suite for disruption
• Multiple high‑ATK synchro/link beatdown monsters
• Banish‑recursion loops provide resource swing

Weaknesses

• No side deck limits adaptability
• High duplicate count raises brick risk
• Lack of clear combo floor makes average performance variable

Critical choke points

• Need a Fish tuner on turn 1 to start Synchro
• Reliance on banish‑recursion; if banish effects are negated the deck stalls

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Legal; Card text excerpts for key cards (e.g., White Aura Whale, Infinite Impermanence); Hypergeometric probabilities per copy count
• Inferred: Engine starter probability from tuner copy counts; Brick risk from duplicate searchers; Combo ceiling and floor from boss monster stats; Resilience from hand‑trap count and banish loops; Resource economy from Moray of Avarice and recursion effects; Interaction quality from negation‑text count; Going‑second board‑break potential from hand‑trap group probability; Closing power from ATK and multiple‑attack abilities; Main deck efficiency based on distinct vs duplicate ratio; Extra deck efficiency from slot utilization; Pilotability from chain complexity
• Provisional: Meta‑fit assessment lacking tournament data
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no archetype usage statistics — core/meta-standard comparison unavailable no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
