Tenyi Deck #698904 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 49 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro/Fusion board with multiple negations and removals; Hand-trap disruption into defensive grind
• Turn 1 (going first): Establish Synchro-Fusion board with interaction; unable to execute due to illegal cards
• Turn 2 (going second): Break opponent board via hand traps and board-breaker Synchros; rotate Mulcharmy draw engine
• Recovery: Recursion via banished GY resources (Swordsoul Emergence, Sacred Summit); recursion limited without core Synchro starters
• After siding: Unknown; no side deck supplied

Why it scores here

This Tenyi-Swordsoul-Branded hybrid is illegal in OCG format: it runs Maxx "C" and Baronne de Fleur (both Forbidden), exceeds the Extra Deck limit by 3 cards, and lacks a side deck. The evaluation reflects structural dysfunction under illegality. The deck opens a Swordsoul core engine (Mo Ye, Emergence, Strategist Longyuan) with modest consistency (~98% P[≥1 core card in 5], but only 52% core recipe adherence), but the illegal cards and missing key Synchro starters (Chixiao, Mula Adhara, Chengying) cripple combo floors and ceiling alike. Hand-trap density (15 copies) and going-second tools show intent, but the broken legality, omitted Extra-Deck payoffs, and zero side deck make this a theoretical build only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 33, Going First ≈ 36, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 24. Modifiers: Illegal card presence (-15); Extra Deck oversized (-5); Missing core Extra-Deck starters (-8); No side deck (-5); Hand-trap density strength (partial offset) (5). Final formula: ILLEGAL DECK: Capped per rubric. 0.60·Structural (illegality modifier −10) + 0.20·TournamentReliability (low stability due to missing side + forbidden cards) + 0.20·GoingSecond (hand-trap strength only viable line)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (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 (15 copies) provides strong going-second disruption
• Swordsoul core engine (Mo Ye, Emergence, Strategist Longyuan) is coherent and searchable
• Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw engine (×2) offers resource generation in low-resource states
• Fallen of Albaz + Branded engine creates secondary Fusion-line payoff
• Synchro-Tuner saturation (16 copies) enables flexible level-climbing

Weaknesses

• ILLEGAL: Maxx "C" and Baronne de Fleur are Forbidden in OCG
• Extra Deck exceeds 15-card limit by 3 slots
• Missing all primary Synchro starters (Chixiao, Mula Adhara, Chengying) drastically reduces consistency and combo ceiling
• No side deck; cannot adapt in best-of-3 format
• Core starters only 52% of archetype-standard recipe; many key cards missing (Ecclesia & Dark Dragon, Albion, Mula Adhara)
• Only 2 true backup starters (Tenyi Spirit - Suruya, Swordsoul of Taia); single interruption collapses lines
• Conflict between Token-generation (blocks Extra Deck Synchro) and Fusion payoff slows board setup
• No reliable recovery after disruption; recursion engines incomplete

Critical choke points

• Maxx "C" Forbidden: cannot run hand-trap draw tool; going-second consistency heavily reduced
• Baronne de Fleur Forbidden: cannot negate opponent interruptions on opponent's turn; defense severely weakened
• Missing Chixiao (2×): main Synchro searcher absent; cannot search Swordsoul/Wyrm resources; combo floor collapses
• Missing Chengying (1×): end-board anchor and banish synergy lost; grind capability gutted
• Missing Mula Adhara (1×): no Field Spell search, Tenyi synergy broken
• Token generation conflicts with Extra Deck Synchro: cannot layer two Synchros + Fusion on single turn reliably
• Only 9 true starters in 49-card list: actual bootstrap consistency ~70%, not 98%

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: runs Forbidden cards (Maxx C, Baronne de Fleur) and oversized Extra Deck (18 > 15 limit); Main Deck size 49 (legal: 40–60 in OCG); All card text excerpts resolve and are present; Archetype core 52% present (12/23 usage-stat core cards in deck); Hand-trap density: 15 copies across 6 distinct cards (Verified from card flags); Synchro/Fusion split: 11 Synchro, 7 Fusion (Verified from type spread)
• Observed: P(≥1 core archetype card in hand 5) ≈ 0.98 via hypergeometric draw from 25-copy core group; Hand-trap P(≥1 in hand 6 going-second) ≈ 0.90 (Verified from probabilities table); Copy histogram: 7 at 3×, 10 at 2×, 8 at 1× (Verified from composition)
• Inferred: True starter count ~9 (not 25): Mo Ye, Ecclesia, Emergence, Suruya, Taia, Longyuan, Fydraulis, Mulcharmy, Albaz as only reliable openers; Actual bootstrap consistency ~70–75% (true starters), not 98% (archetype core); brick rate ~8–10% vs 2.2% archetype estimate; Best-line combo output: 2 Synchro + 1 Fusion + ~2 negations (estimated ceiling); missing Chixiao/Chengying lowers to ~1 Synchro + 1 Fusion + 1 negate median; Interruption resilience low: only 2×Tenyi & 2×Taia as alternative starters; Token generation blocks backup lines; Going-first board strength: estimated 3 layers (Impermanence trap, end-board negate, removal); Baronne absence removes 4th layer; Going-second power: hand-trap density strong, but lacking Baronne negation and Maxx C draw engine; estimated 60–65% board-break success; Tournament reliability: no side deck (0/15) → best-of-3 adaptation impossible; reliability capped at ~40%; Pilotability: 6–8 step combo with high decision density (Token vs Synchro trade-off, Fusion priority, GY management); error-prone without practice
• Provisional: Meta Power cannot be assessed without a dated OCG metagame sample; Swordsoul archetype meta-share unknown; Matchup coverage: Tenyi-Swordsoul-Branded hybrid positioning vs OCG meta unknown (Provisional); Post-side plan: no side deck supplied; cannot evaluate side-deck effectiveness (Provisional)
• Data gaps: No combo evidence supplied — all combo floor/median/ceiling inferred from card text and no board frequency data No tournament link or match record — archetype meta-share unavailable; format fit unknown No side deck (0/15) — post-game adaptation impossible; best-of-3 reliability unfalsifiable No win-rate telemetry — going-first/second/matchup/game-level win rates absent; brick rates, starter frequency, OTK rates inferred only Deck is Illegal — evaluation is structural/theoretical only; not playable in OCG format as-is
