Legality
Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Ninja Extra Deck fusion, link and Xyz monsters (Meizen, Yaguramaru, Yellow Dragon Ninja, Saizo) reached through Ninja searchers and Ninjitsu Art summon effects; Hand-trap and negation exchanges followed by a single Extra Deck board
- Turn 1 (going first): Open on Ninja Grandmaster Hanzo, Green Ninja or Iron Digger to search or summon a Ninja, then extend into a Fusion or Link monster if the line is live
- Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence or Evenly Matched in hand to stop the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through Ninja summons
- Recovery: Use Ninjitsu Art of Dancing Leaves and Ninja summon effects to recover board presence from the GY
- After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan
Why it scores here
The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its archetype core is thin: only 6 of 25 usage-core Ninjitsu Art cards are present, and just 9 of 69 non-Extra copies carry the exact archetype name. Of the 54 Main Deck cards, 34 are level-0 spells and traps, and the list leans on 9 hand traps and 13 tech cards, which gives it real interaction but also a substantial brick risk. There are no recorded combos, so every conversion and ceiling claim is text-based and Inferred. Popularity and archetype usage were not counted toward the score. The list is Illegal under TCG rules (three Forbidden cards and two Semi-Limited cards over their limits), so the final score is capped at 20 and is a theoretical, structural-only read.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 45 | Archetype core P(at least one in 5-card hand) ~0.79 across 14 copies, but only 6 of 25 usage-core cards are present; starter access is mixed (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 40 | 9 hand traps and 13 tech cards compete with 34 level-0 spells and traps for hand space; P(at least one hand trap in 6 cards going second) ~0.68 (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 30 | No parseable boards; ceiling is inferred from text only, where Meizen, Yaguramaru and Yellow Dragon Ninja give a Fusion and Link ceiling (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 25 | No recorded combos, so the median and floor are unknown and set low by default (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 45 | Nine hand traps and two negation-text spells can answer a first disruption, but a second independent line is not evidenced (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 40 | Six searcher-text cards (Hanzo, Iron Digger, Reinforcement of the Army and others) and Ninja recursion provide some resource regrowth (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 50 | Dimensional Barrier, Eradicator Epidemic Virus, Harpie's Feather Duster and Book of Moon give layered interaction, but Dimensional Barrier is Forbidden (Verified for banlist, Inferred for quality) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 45 | Hand-trap and negation density is high going second, but no going-second board-breaking data exists (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 45 | Extra Deck top-end (Yellow Dragon Ninja 3000 ATK, Meizen 2500, Yaguramaru 2000, Jioh 2300 on field) gives closing power, with one copy each of the highest-impact pieces (Verified stats, Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 35 | 54 Main cards with 25 distinct names and a 13% exact archetype purity; 60 off-archetype copies lower coherence (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 45 | Extra Deck is 7 Fusion, 6 Link and 2 Xyz, with Bagooska and Cross-Sheep Forbidden and Ninja summon access only partly present (Verified composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | No Side Deck is run, so there is no post-side adaptation (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 35 | No tournament link or dated metagame sample; matchup fit is Provisional and excluded from the structural weight |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 40 | Multiple Ninja summon chains and Extra Deck material rules create a moderate decision load (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Toolbox (meta-neutral: D13 dropped and remaining weights renormalized over 95). Structural ≈ 40, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(40) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(30) + Modifiers(-6) = 32; Illegal-list cap applied, final 20 (theoretical/structural only). Meta Power provisional/null.
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.79 · 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
- Legal main and extra sizes (54 / 15 / 0)
- Dense hand-trap and negation suite (9 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards)
- Extra Deck carries high-ATK closers (Yellow Dragon Ninja 3000, Ultimate Great Insect 3000 slot is absent; Meizen 2500, Yaguramaru 2000)
Weaknesses
- Illegal list: three Forbidden cards and two Semi-Limited cards over the copy limit
- Only 6 of 25 usage-core Ninjitsu Art cards are present (24%)
- Exact archetype purity 13%; 60 off-archetype copies
- No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
- No recorded combos to validate the engine
Critical choke points
- Ash Blossom and the other hand traps are the only early interaction, so a single missed starter leaves the deck with no board
- Ninja summon chains depend on a small number of searchers (Hanzo, Iron Digger)
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Dimensional Barrier (x3), Cross-Sheep, Number 41: Bagooska | Legal Ninja or Ninjitsu Art Extra Deck or interaction replacements | Forbidden cards make the list Illegal; no structural score can be given until they are removed |
| 2 | one copy each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Pot of Extravagance | Legal copies only (2 each) | Both exceed their Semi-Limited limit of 2 |
| 3 | Off-archetype tech cards that do not continue a Ninja line | Additional Ninja core cards (Garura, Blade Armor Ninja, Ninja Grandmaster Saizo) if the format allows | Raises archetype purity and the chance a starter leads into a real line (Inferred) |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 is within TCG size rules; Dimensional Barrier, Cross-Sheep and Bagooska are Forbidden in TCG; Ash Blossom and Pot of Extravagance are over their Semi-Limited limit; Exact archetype purity is 13%; 14 copies of the usage-core set are present
- Inferred: Starter access ~0.79 for the archetype core in a 5-card hand; Hand-trap brick and interaction estimates from text roles; Closing power from Extra Deck ATK/DEF values and text
- Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) is excluded from the structural weight
- 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 absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck, so post-side scoring is not possible
