Blitzclique Deck #734366 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 72/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Overwhelm with a Thunder‑monster board and beatstick summons (Whisker, Return Stroke, XYZ monsters).; Lock opponent’s resources with hand traps and floodgates (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Dimension Shifter).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Surge Blitzclique or another Blitzclique monster, use Breakaway to destroy a card and Special Summon a Thunder monster, then chain hand traps, searchers and beatsticks to build a multi‑Thunder board.
• Turn 2 (going second): Deploy hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, Dimension Shifter) to disrupt opponent, then drop a Blitzclique starter and execute the combo engine.
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw engines (Fuwalos, Purulia) and Pot of Sloth replenish hand; extra‑deck recursion via Number 104, Number 41, etc., restores resources after disruption.
• After siding: Rely on hand traps and Evenly Matched to reset the board; lack of a side deck limits post‑side options.

Why it scores here

The deck consistently opens its Blitzclique engine, with a 99.8 % chance of having at least one core card in the opening hand, allowing a reliable T1‑T2 starter. It can translate that starter into a multi‑Thunder board and powerful beatsticks such as Whisker and Return Stroke, giving a high ceiling while the median game still yields a functional threat. Hand traps like Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and the floodgate Dimension Shifter provide strong disruption and recovery routes, and draw engines keep resources flowing. However the 57‑card main deck is only 25 % exact‑name pure and lacks a side deck, which reduces efficiency and adaptability. Overall the system is solidly combo‑oriented with good resilience but some inefficiency and choke points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 72.27, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 70. Modifiers: Low side deck (-2); Low main‑deck purity (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.3 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Very high opening consistency for the Blitzclique engine.
• Strong hand‑trap suite and draw engines for disruption and recovery.
• High potential board with multiple Thunder monsters and powerful beatsticks.
• Flexible extra‑deck with several XYZ/Synchro options.

Weaknesses

• Large 57‑card main deck with low exact‑name purity reduces efficiency.
• No side deck limits post‑side adaptability.
• Reliance on distinct Thunder monster names creates brick risk.
• Many Extra‑deck summons are restricted after special summons from the hand.

Critical choke points

• Needing a specific starter such as Surge Blitzclique to begin the combo.
• Requirement for multiple distinct Thunder monsters for Whisker and other effects.
• Dependence on Mulcharmy draws for resource recovery.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status Legal; card text excerpts for role hints; usage statistics availability
• Inferred: core group opening probability 0.998; brick risk estimate based on copy histogram; combo ceiling and floor inference from card effects; interruption resilience from hand trap count; resource economy from Mulcharmy and Pot of Sloth; interaction quality from beatsticks and hand traps; going‑second board‑breaking from hand trap group probability; offensive closing power from Whisker ATK; main‑deck efficiency from archetype purity; extra‑deck coverage from breakdown; side‑deck adaptability (none); pilotability from complexity of reveals and sequencing
• Provisional: matchup coverage lacking tournament context
• 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
