Flower Cardian Deck #570947 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Synchro
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon-chain Flower Cardian monsters into high-ATK Synchro bosses such as Flower Cardian Lightflare and Lightshower (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards); Chaos Angel and Super Starslayer TY-PHON as extra-deck closers (Inferred; the Flower Cardian engine is the main route)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Level 2 or lower or Level 10 or lower Flower Cardian to enable hand Special Summons, then search or draw with Recardination, Cherry Blossom and Peony, and build toward a Synchro (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Super Koi Koi and Super All In to excavate and recover Flower Cardians and convert them into Synchro material (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recardination returns a Flower Cardian from the Graveyard to hand; Moonflowerviewing draws and recurs (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck; the deck has no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck runs 40 Main and 15 Extra cards with a consistent Flower Cardian core (47 of 55 cards are exact-name archetype cards, 85.5% purity). Its engine is reasonably accessible: the 3-copy engine monsters and 10 searcher-text cards give a 78% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate). The deck is structurally illegal, though: Varudras and Baronne de Fleur are Forbidden and each is run once, and that pulls the score down to a theoretical cap. Popularity did not earn points, because the archetype usage stats list only Flower Cardian Moonflowerviewing, Lightshower and Lightflare, and the deck runs none of them as a 50% core. No recorded combos exist, so ceiling and floor scores are text-based inference rather than measured output. Card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*52 + 0.20*45 = 50.6; minus banlist exposure -12 gives 39; capped to 25 as theoretical/structural-only per rubric. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Compact, archetype-pure Main Deck (85.5% exact-name purity)
• 3-copy engine monsters and 10 searcher-text cards give good starter access
• Strong Synchro bosses in the Extra Deck (Lightflare, Lightshower)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: two Forbidden cards are run
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• No recorded combos to confirm the ceiling or median output
• Level-conditional and Tribute-gated summons create hand conflicts

Critical choke points

• Forbidden Varudras and Baronne de Fleur must be removed before the list is playable
• Hand Special Summons depend on a Flower Cardian of the right Level being on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: two Forbidden cards run (Varudras, Baronne de Fleur); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; 47 of 55 cards are exact-name Flower Cardian (85.5%); 3-copy starter probability 0.3376 and searcher probability 0.7834 (hypergeometric)
• Inferred: Primary strategy Combo and the summon-chain plan; Engine consistency and brick estimates; Interaction quality from card text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link)
• 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 and going-second split is Inferred Meta power is Provisional
