Adventurer Token Deck #720286 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz summon into negation board with Phantom Knights engine + Adventurer Token hybrid; Resource advantage through Mulcharmy draw effects and hand traps
• Turn 1 (going first): Establish Phantom Knights Xyz monsters (Break Sword, Malevolent Scythe) with interaction negation while leaving Adventurer Token open for follow-up
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre) to disrupt, then pivot with board breakers (Forbidden Droplet) and Adventurer Token activation for board rebuilding
• Recovery: Phantom Knights recursion from GY via banish mechanics and Adventurer Token field presence; limited independent recovery lines
• After siding: No side deck present; unable to adapt post-Game 1 in best-of-3

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal in OCG format, running 2 Solemn Judgment (limit 1), Forbidden Red Reboot, and Forbidden Maxx "C". Structurally, it is a hybrid Phantom Knights (27 cards) + Adventurer Token (5 cards) engine with generic interaction tools, but engine coherence is weak. The deck opens a Phantom Knights Xyz (≈25% likelihood via hypergeometric draw) but lacks redundant starts; Adventurer Token is underutilized as a secondary engine. Combo ceiling reaches ≈3 negations + protection via Break Sword and Fog Blade, but median boards are 1–2 interactions due to starter diversity failure and the 55-card Main Deck diluting consistency. Going-second has realistic removal (Forbidden Droplet, Ghost Ogre) but no dedicated board-breaker engine. The Extra Deck is well-constructed (5 Links, 10 Xyz), but the Main lacks compactness, runs hard garnets (Wandering Gryphon Rider as a one-of brick), and has no Side Deck. Recovery is hampered by low Phantom Knights redundancy post-disruption. This evaluation is theoretical-only due to illegality.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 41, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 32. Modifiers: Illegality penalty (-11); No Side Deck (-3); 55-card Main Deck bloat (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck — capped at 28. If legalized: 0.80*Structural (42) + 0.20*TournamentReliability (32) ≈ 39; modifier −11 for illegality (three cards over limit including two Forbidden cards).

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

• Extra Deck coherence: 15 slots well-allocated (5 Links for flexibility, 10 Xyz for layered Rank-ups)
• Interaction density: 3-ofs of Solemn Accusation + Forbidden Droplet + Fog Blade provide 8–10 negation/removal vectors
• Hybrid engine enables pivoting: Phantom Knights into Adventurer Token Rite can rebuild board post-disruption
• Going-second removal package: Ash Blossom (2), Ghost Ogre (2), Forbidden Droplet (3) give realistic hand-trap coverage

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Solemn Judgment ×2 (limit 1), Red Reboot (Forbidden), Maxx "C" (Forbidden) — deck cannot be played
• Engine fragmentation: 27 Phantom Knights + 5 Adventurer + 6 Mulcharmy split focuses; no single engine dominant or redundant
• Brick risk: 55-card Main Deck + single Rite of Aramesir + single Wandering Gryphon Rider (hard garnet) inflates opening-hand dead draws
• Starter redundancy: P(≥1 consistent start) ≈ 0.35; most games resolve to 1 Xyz, no backup line
• No Side Deck: Zero best-of-3 adaptability; locked into same 55 cards post-Game 1
• Slow draw engine: Mulcharmy triggers only when controlling no cards T1, severely limiting T1 utility
• Limited recovery: Phantom Knights recursion via banish is conditional on GY state; post-disruption resilience low

Critical choke points

• GY material access: Phantom Knights lines depend on GY for recursion and Rank-Up-Magic triggers; disruption of mill (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird) stalls the deck entirely
• Single Xyz summon T1: Most hands resolve 1 Break Sword or Malevolent Scythe, leaving no independent follow-up if destroyed
• Adventurer Token under-integration: Rite of Aramesir is a one-of; Adventurer Token board is not naturally recurrable without re-accessing Rite
• 55-card Main Deck dilution: Each draw is ≈9% less likely than a 40-card equivalent; cumulative effect over a game reduces starter and interaction frequency

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal in OCG: Solemn Judgment ×2 (limit 1), Red Reboot (Forbidden), Maxx "C" (Forbidden); Main Deck count: 55 cards (legal 40–60 range, but 55 is upper threshold); Extra Deck count: 15 cards (legal 0–15); Side Deck count: 0 cards (legal 0–15); Card text resolved for Phantom Knights and Adventurer Token archetypes; Usage statistics available: Adventurer Token/SPYRAL comparison shows 8% core card overlap
• Observed: Extra Deck composition: 10 Xyz (2× Break Sword, 1× Malevolent Scythe, 1× Raider's Knight, 1× Ophion, 1× Karmael, 1× Dark Rebellion, 1× Dark Requiem, 1× Arc Rebellion, 1× Dark Rebellion 4HDs) + 5 Links; Main Deck archetype split: 27 Phantom Knights, 6 Mulcharmy, 5 Adventurer Token, 3 Solemn, 15+ tech/interaction
• Inferred: Opening consistency P(≥1 starter hand 5) ≈ 0.35 from hypergeometric probabilities (9 Phantom Knights starters + 2 Adventurer searchers / 55 deck); Brick rate ≈ 0.20 (no mulligan in OCG; opening 5 with 0 starters + hand traps); Combo ceiling ≈ 3 negations (Break Sword + Malevolent Scythe + Rank-Up into Arc Rebellion) from card text read; Median board ≈ 1–2 interactions due to low starter redundancy and 55-card dilution; Going-second removal coverage: 7 hand traps + 3 Forbidden Droplet give ≈70% probability of at least 1 disruption in hand 6; Tournament reliability low: no adaptive strategy post-Game 1; single-choke-point Xyz dependency
• Provisional: Meta Power = null (no dated metagame sample supplied; Adventurer Token archetype meta-share unknown); Matchup performance unknown; deck deviation from core (8% overlap with SPYRAL stats) suggests niche build with unverified positioning
• Data gaps: Deck is Illegal — cannot receive a normal Final Contextual score; evaluation is structural/theoretical only No combo evidence supplied (combos_evidence.scored_combos = 0) — all combo inferences are text-based, labeled Inferred No tournament link — archetype meta-share, per-pilot match record, and format meta-fit are Unknown/Provisional No win-rate telemetry (YGOVN does not collect game-level brick/starter/OTK rates) — all consistency and resilience claims are Inferred No guides supplied — strategic intent and post-side plans are absent; adaptation strategies unknown No Side Deck present (0 cards) — post-Game 1 plan cannot be evaluated; best-of-3 reliability is Unknown Archetype purity 2.9% exact-name; deck is hybrid Phantom Knights + Adventurer glue, not a pure shell — usage stats reflect SPYRAL, not this build
