Tellarknight Deck #73319 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 9/100 (±5 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Attrition via Level 4 Xyz board control and negation layers; Material recycling and rank-up chains to sustain pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal summon Pollux/Lyran to special summon Constellar/Tellarknight, search with Caduceus/Deneb, build Level 4 Xyz (Delteros/Triverr/Caduceus), set traps, beat down
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Altairan/Triverr/Unicorn to clear board, establish Delteros protection, detach for Caduceus search or Diamond negation
• Recovery: Altair recursion, Ptolemaeus rank-up chain, Caduceus banish-to-search, Living Fossil retrieval
• After siding: None; zero side deck cards listed

Why it scores here

This Tellarknight/Constellar hybrid operates as a Level 4 Xyz combo-midrange deck, relying on engine starters like Lyran and Caduceus to build interactive boards featuring Delteros and Triverr. However, the evaluation is severely penalized because the list is Illegal in TCG (running two Forbidden cards and exceeding copy limits), has zero side deck cards, and suffers from extreme archetype dilution with heavy Noble Knight and Photon splashes. Without recorded combo data or metagame context, its consistency and floor are inferred to be low, making it highly unreliable in actual play. Popularity or archetype tags do not compensate for these structural and legality failures.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced. Structural ≈ 38, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 32. Modifiers: Illegal List (-12); Zero Side Deck (-10); Heavy Archetype Conflict (-5). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.74 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.26 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong end-board interaction with layered negations and protections
• Decent material recycling and rank-up chains for grind potential
• Multiple boss monster options reaching 2500+ ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal in TCG (Forbidden cards, copy limit violations)
• Zero side deck cards; no post-side adaptation
• Extreme archetype dilution reduces engine reliability
• Missing core staples (Castor, Mulcharmy, Fuwalos, Cygnian) drastically lowers floor
• No recorded combo data or metagame performance metrics

Critical choke points

• Hitting Constellar Tellarknights or Caduceus to enable engine continuity
• Avoiding hand traps that negate searchers or prevent Normal Summons
• Maintaining enough Level 4 monsters to bypass Delteros/Triverr restrictions

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Illegal; Side count: 0; Copy limit violations: TTT (2/1), Apollousa (Forbidden), Isolde (Forbidden)
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Combo floor/median/ceiling derived from card text and archetype mechanics; Interaction quality and resource economy assessed via role hints and description excerpts; Pilotability and error tolerance estimated from combo step complexity
• Provisional: Matchup format fit and metagame alignment
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
