Relinquished Deck #708265 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro summoning and linking into end-boards with negation/removal coverage; Grind-out via resource generation and hand-trap resistance
• Turn 1 (going first): Establish Synchro/Link board with interaction (GranSolfachord Coolia, Visas Amritara, or defensive negation)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird) to disrupt opponent, then pivot into Synchro summoning for removal/recursion
• Recovery: Recycle Yummy monsters via Synchro effects and field spells; grind via draw effects and GY recursion
• After siding: No side deck present; evaluation treats the main deck as static

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal in OCG format due to an overloaded Extra Deck (16 > 15), rendering it unplayable in sanctioned events. Setting that violation aside, the structural evaluation reveals a fragmented toolbox mixing Yummy Synchro lines, Solfachord Pendulum support, Sky Striker searchers, and hand-trap staples with no coherent core engine. While it boasts hand-trap density (8 copies) and some grind potential through Synchro recursion and field-spell loops, the deck lacks a reliable starter—Piri Reis Map halves LP but blocks the searched card, and the Yummy starters require a Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro already in play. Without real combo evidence, no side deck, and a 54-card bloated main deck, consistency is severely compromised. The scoring reflects structural weakness, not card quality or popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 70% Toolbox / 30% Combo. Structural ≈ 35, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 32. Modifiers: Illegal Extra Deck (-12); No Side Deck (-4); 54-Card Main Deck Bloat (-3). Final formula: Illegal deck cap (Extra Deck violation); Structural 35 → capped at 40 for structural evaluation only; Final = 0.70·40 + 0.30·32 = 37.6 → further reduced to 28 due to illegality and no-side penalty

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.46 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.25 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Hand-trap density (8 copies) provides strong going-second disruption options.
• Synchro recursion and field-spell loops enable modest grind potential and resource regeneration.
• Diverse removal suite (Lightning Storm, Dark Ruler No More, Harpie's Feather Duster) covers common board types.
• Yummy Synchro monsters float on removal and can refresh the board via special summon effects.
• GranSolfachord Coolia offers Pendulum-based negation and off-interaction draw.

Weaknesses

• Illegal Extra Deck (16 > 15) disqualifies the deck from sanctioned play; requires immediate correction.
• 54-card main deck is severely bloated; consistency suffers relative to streamlined 40–42 card lists.
• No side deck (0/15) eliminates post-side adaptability; critical weakness for a toolbox archetype in best-of-3 formats.
• Core starters are gated behind prerequisites (Link-1 or Level 2 Synchro required); Piri Reis Map halves LP and locks the searched card.
• Conflicting Normal Summon engines (Mulcharmy, Nemeses Corridor); no unified engine core, leading to high brick potential.
• No combo boards recorded; combo ceiling and consistency are entirely inferred from text; actual performance unknown.
• Modest end-board ATK (2500–2700) does not threaten quick lethal; deck relies on slow grinds.
• Single-choke-point dependency on first Synchro setup; one interruption can collapse the line.

Critical choke points

• Establishing a Link-1 monster or Level 2 Synchro to unlock Yummy starters; without this, Piri Reis Map becomes the only searcher (with LP cost and effect lock).
• Synchro summoning is the backbone of the deck; any disruption of Synchro summons (e.g., Ash Blossom on a tuner/non-tuner combo) severely limits follow-up plays.
• Field-spell recursion loop via Yummy effects requires maintaining at least one Yummy monster in GY; loss of this resource pool stops the grind.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal in OCG format: Extra Deck count 16 > 15 (legality.violations); No side deck present: side_count = 0 (legality.side_count); No combo boards recorded: combos_evidence.total_combos = 0; Archetype purity: 0% exact-name Relinquished (archetype_purity.exact_name_purity_pct); Hand-trap density: 8 distinct hand-trap cards (Ash ×3, Ghost Belle ×2, Droll ×2, Nibiru ×1)
• Observed: Main deck size: 54 cards (legality.main_count); Extra deck size: 16 cards (legality.extra_count); Distinct main-deck cards: 31 (composition.distinct_main); Distinct extra-deck cards: 16 (composition.distinct_extra); Searcher text-role cards: 19 (composition.role_tag_counts.searcher_text); Removal text-role cards: 18 (composition.role_tag_counts.removal_text); Negation text-role cards: 14 (composition.role_tag_counts.negation_text)
• Inferred: P(≥1 core starter in opening 5) ≈ 0.46 (hypergeometric from probabilities.archetype_core_group); Estimated brick rate: ~25% (from Piri Reis effect lock, Mulcharmy prerequisite, conflicting Normal Summons); Best combo ceiling: 1–2 Synchro + 1 Link with 2–3 interaction points (from card text semantic analysis); Median combo output: 1 Synchro + 1 Link with 1–2 interaction points (inferred from starter diversity and text); Deck strategy: Toolbox Synchro/Link hybrid with hand-trap going-second plan (from composition and card text analysis); Interruption resilience: moderate; single-choke-point dependency on first Synchro summon (inferred from limited independent starter branches); Going-first power: 40/100 (from modest interaction density and grind setup); Going-second power: 48/100 (from hand-trap density and removal/negation staples)
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (no dated metagame sample; archetype meta-share unknown from tournament_context.available = false); Format fit: Relinquished archetype is niche in OCG meta; deck deviates significantly from core strategy; unknown matchup performance
• Data gaps: No combo boards recorded: combo ceiling, floor, and median are entirely inferred from card text; actual performance unknown. No tournament link: archetype meta-share, per-pilot match record, and format-level matchup data absent. No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second brick rates, starter rates, OTK rates, and matchup win rates do not exist in YGOVN for this deck. No guides: no strategy documentation supplied (guides_evidence.total_guides = 0). No dated metagame sample: Meta Power cannot be calibrated without a reference meta sample.
