Destiny HERO Deck #656386 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link Summons from a 15-card Extra Deck (Elemental HERO / Destiny HERO / Xtra HERO bosses) that end on a 2500-3100 ATK board; Mulcharmy and Evil HERO card draw and board pressure off Polymerization and Mask Change lines
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Destiny HERO and Elemental HERO searchers and starters, go to Fusion or Link, keep Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Droll up as hand traps
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched) to slow the opponent's board, then rebuild through Fusion Destiny or Polymerization
• Recovery: Recover from GY through Destiny HERO - Denier, Vision HERO Vyon and Masked HERO Dusk Crow effects (text-based, Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan is supplied

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in TCG: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so it is capped low and labelled structural-only. Structurally it reaches about 49 under the Midrange profile: the archetype core is present (about 94% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred), and the hand-trap suite gives reasonable interaction density. Consistency is held back by low archetype purity (12.2% exact-name, with 65 off-archetype copies across Elemental HERO, Mulcharmy, Vision HERO and Evil HERO), so engine coherence is weak. There are no recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and score conservatively. The score comes from consistency, interaction and the Extra Deck structure on the system; it does not come from Destiny HERO being a popular archetype or from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary, disclosed as a 2:1 weighting. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 47.2, then context modifiers -12, then Illegal cap applied: final 35

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

• Dense hand-trap suite (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched) plus Solemn Judgment gives strong interaction on the opponent's turn
• Full 15-card Extra Deck with Fusion and Link bosses reaching 2500-3100 ATK
• Redundant HERO searchers and recursion from the GY

Weaknesses

• Illegal in TCG as built: Ash Blossom is run 3 times against a limit of 2
• Low archetype purity (12.2%), so the engines compete for hand and Extra Deck slots
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring must be cut to 2 copies before any normal score applies
• Fusion and Link lines depend on Polymerization, Fusion Destiny and Mask Change: 2 to 3 copies each, with no alternative Fusion route beyond Miracle Fusion

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 59 cards, Extra Deck 15, Side 0 (within the TCG size rules); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies vs legal limit 2 (Semi-Limited), status Illegal; Five Limited cards each run at 1 copy, all within their limit; Archetype purity 12.2% exact-name (9 of 74 archetype-tagged copies); Destiny HERO - Denier, Plasma and Called by the Grave are in the 100%-usage core list
• Inferred: Hypergeometric estimates: searcher group about 69%, archetype core about 94% at least one in hand of 5, hand-trap group about 73% at least one in hand of 6; Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary, based on card text and composition; Dimension scores D1-D14 read from card text and composition, not from recorded games
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no 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 match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, starter or brick rates) no Side Deck supplied: post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
