Enneacraft Deck #704534 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 52/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum combo summons into Level 9 bosses (3000 ATK Enneacraft monsters) generating interaction through flips and E.C. Counter payoffs; Midrange grind via resource loops and floodgate pressure (Vanity's Fiend, Contact C)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Pendulum Zones with Level-1 Enneacraft searchers, flip into E.C. Counters, summon Level-9 bosses for on-field removal at Battle Phase end; set Enneapolis for chip damage
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ghost Reaper, Droll & Lock Bird) into board breaking via Contact C lock or Vanity's Fiend placement; use removal-heavy Enneacraft monsters to trade and grind
• Recovery: Banish Enneacraft Reverth and Enneacraft Release from GY to rebuild Pendulum Zones; recursion via graveyard activation extends turns
• After siding: No side deck supplied; cannot evaluate post-side strategy

Why it scores here

Enneacraft opens its Pendulum engine reliably (97% P[≥1 core starter], 28/57 main dedicated Enneacraft monsters), generating consistent Level-9 boss boards with ATK-based removal. However, the deck is held back by a thin median combo output (no parsed boards; inferred ~3–4 flips + 2–3 negations per turn), dependence on two-card Pendulum setup for consistency, weak recovery against disruption (few independent lines, limited recursion density), and a large non-archetype splash (36/72 copies off-archetype) that dilutes coherence. The core interaction engine (Vanity's Fiend, Contact C, hand traps) provides midrange pressure but not explosive closing power. Missing 14 of 25 archetype-core cards and running zero side deck significantly reduces adaptability and tournament reliability. The deck is playable and has a solid turn-1 baseline, but lacks the redundancy and explosive scaling of mature combo engines.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Missing core cards penalty (-3); No side deck (-4); Thin median combo output (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample supplied)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Highly consistent opening engine: 97% P[≥1 starter in 5-card hand] with 14-card redundant searcher suite
• Solid turn-1 board: dual Level-9 bosses (3000 ATK, removal effects) + Enneapolis for layered interaction and chip damage scaling
• Flexible interaction suite: 14 negation-text cards + 34 removal-text cards provide diverse lines
• Graveyard recursion: Reverth and Release enable turn-stretching and resource regeneration
• Going-second disruption package: Ghost Reaper (Extra-Deck banish), Contact C (lock), Vanity's Fiend (summon stun), Droll & Lock Bird (search lockout)

Weaknesses

• Thin median combo output: no parsed boards; inferred ~3–4 interactions per turn is below mature combo standards; ceiling-to-median gap suggests inconsistent execution
• Limited interruption recovery: few independent starter lines (5 distinct Level-1 searchers are redundant copies); one broken Pendulum Zone cripples the turn
• Heavy non-archetype splash: 36/72 cards off-archetype (50% purity) dilutes core coherence and increases draw conflict risk
• Missing 14 archetype-core cards: no Book of Eclipse, Dimensional Fissure, Dark Ruler No More, or key Extra-Deck tutors (S:P Little Knight, I:P Masquerena); reduces consistency and board quality
• No going-second explosive: board-breaker engine is passive (hand traps + disruption) rather than active removal combo; weak against established boards
• Weak closing power: 3000 ATK bosses provide presence but no piercing, direct damage, or lethal acceleration beyond Enneapolis chip (900 per counter = slow clock)
• Zero side deck: cannot adapt to format; tournament reliability severely limited

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone setup: both zones must be filled to unlock Level-9 summons; if one zone is disrupted (negated, removed), output drops to single-boss boards
• Searcher redundancy bottleneck: five distinct Level-1 searcher names at 14 total copies means hand consistency can degrade if multiple copies drawn (dead cards in hand)
• Graveyard dependency: Reverth and Release recycling requires live GY; Called by the Grave (1 copy) or GY-wipe effects disable recovery paths
• Single-copy tech cards: Called by the Grave and Solemn Judgment are 1-ofs; unreliable access in critical moments
• No side deck: forced to play game 1 strategy in games 2 and 3; cannot tune for meta threats
