Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Atlantean and Mermail Xyz/Link/Synchro boss (Poseidra Abyss, Mermail Abyssgaios, Icejade Gymir Aegirine) built from WATER monsters; Mermail King - Neptabyss and Moulinglacia board pressure through WATER-GY recursion
  • Turn 1 (going first): Open a WATER starter (Neptabyss, Abyssrhine, Mermail Abyssteus or Atlantean Dragoons), search the next Atlantean or Mermail piece, and reach a Synchro or Xyz boss while holding Ash Blossom or Evenly Matched for interaction
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird and Dominus Impulse to slow the opponent's first summon, then continue through Atlantean recursion (Mermail Shadow Squad, Atlantean Heavy Infantry) into a boss
  • Recovery: Recycle WATER monsters from the GY through Neptabyss, Abysspike and Moulinglacia summons and re-extend into a Link or Xyz boss
  • After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck is present in the export

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its archetype core (Mermail, Atlantean, Abyss-) has a hypergeometric opening-hand access of about 0.92 for at least one core card, and searcher text covers about 0.84 of the list, so the engine usually comes online by turn 1 or 2. Its interaction package (Ash Blossom, Evenly Matched, Droll and Lock Bird, Dominus Impulse, Called by the Grave, Crossout Designator) supports a Stun-leaning midrange plan, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median remain text-only inferences. The deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse are run three copies against a Semi-Limited limit of two, so it receives a capped, structural-only score rather than a normal Final Contextual score. Popularity was not credited, the three core Extra Deck cards with 100 percent usage inclusion are absent, and no side deck is present to earn adaptability points.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 62 P(at least one archetype core card in opening 5) ≈ 0.92; searcher text present in ≈ 0.84 of opening hands (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 50 57 Main cards with 14 singletons and 17 tech cards; moderate brick and dead-card risk from the tech slots (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 40 No parseable combos; ceiling is a text-only read of Neptabyss, Abyssrhine and Mermail Abyssteus chains into Xyz and Synchro bosses (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 35 No recorded boards; median output cannot be measured and is estimated low from the tech-heavy split (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 55 Multiple WATER-recursion routes and two hand traps give some redundancy against one interruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 50 Recursion via WATER GY costs and Atlantean searchers offsets spent resources; no resource data (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 62 Eight hand traps and twelve negation-text cards give layered interaction, but two copies exceed the legal limit (Verified legality, Inferred quality)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 50 Dominus Impulse and Droll and Lock Bird contest the going-second board; no going-second split data (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 55 Poseidra Abyss (3000 ATK), Icejade Gymir Aegirine (3000 ATK) and Mermail Abyssgaios (2800 ATK) give high closing power (Verified stats)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 45 57 Main cards at 14 singletons with 17 tech cards and 66 off-exact-archetype copies lowers compactness (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 55 Extra Deck of 15 with 7 Synchro and 4 each of Xyz and Link; the 100 percent usage core (LeVirtue Dragon, Abysstrite) is missing (Verified usage)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 15 No side deck in the export; adaptability cannot be scored beyond a floor (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No tournament link or dated meta sample; format fit is Provisional (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 50 Multi-step chains through several WATER recursion effects with many once-per-turn choices; average pilotability (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun secondary at about one third weight. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: illegal_copy_limit (-8); no_side_deck (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 47, then illegal-deck modifiers -12 → 35 (theoretical / structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

  • Archetype core access is high (about 0.92 for at least one core card in an opening 5)
  • Layered interaction: eight hand traps plus negation and removal text
  • Strong Synchro, Xyz and Link closing bosses at 2800 to 3000 ATK

Weaknesses

  • Illegal as built: two cards exceed the Semi-Limited copy limit
  • No side deck
  • Missing 100 percent usage Extra Deck cores (LeVirtue Dragon, Abysstrite, Xyz Armor Torpedo)
  • High tech count dilutes the engine (17 tech cards and 14 singletons)

Critical choke points

  • Any single Atlantean or Mermail starter that fails to summon blocks the Extra Deck boss route
  • Two over-limit hand traps must be cut to two copies before the list is playable
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 One copy each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse Two copies is the legal ceiling; fill the freed slots with an existing engine card (e.g. a Mermail or Atlantean Level 4 or lower) Makes the list legal so it can receive a normal score
2 One singleton tech card (e.g. Triple Tactics Talent) A WATER Level 3 or 4 engine monster from the core Raises starter density and lowers brick risk
3 None A side deck of 0 to 15 cards covering the most common going-second boards Gives a post-side plan for best-of-3 play

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies vs legal 2; Main 57 and Extra 15 are within TCG size rules; Archetype usage core missing: LeVirtue Dragon, Abysstrite, Xyz Armor Torpedo at 100 percent inclusion; Exact archetype purity 8.3 percent; 66 off-archetype copies
  • Inferred: Engine access about 0.92 from hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction layering from text and hand-trap flags; Brick risk from tech-card count and singletons
  • Provisional: Meta and format fit (D13); no dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability; no tournament link
  • Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No side deck in the export No win-rate or going-first/second telemetry
