Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 52/100 (±5 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Stun
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Establish a lock‑out with hand traps and floodgates, then finish with a high‑ATK boss monster (e.g., Bystial Magnamhut or Vanquish Soul Jiaolong).; Control the board via mass removal (Harpie's Feather Duster, Book of Eclipse) and lock the opponent out of draws.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, D.D. Crow) and a searcher (Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Pot of Prosperity). Set floodgate (Dimensional Fissure) and look for a boss monster through search effects.
• Turn 2 (going second): Deploy hand traps to disrupt opponent, flip the board with Book of Eclipse, then summon a boss monster using the search pool.
• Recovery: Use draw/search engines (Triple Tactics Talent, Pot of Prosperity, Reinforcement of the Army) to refill hand and re‑establish floodgates.
• After siding: No side deck; the deck relies on its internal toolbox to adapt.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens with a hand‑trap or floodgate about 85 % of the time, giving it solid early control. Its many search and draw effects let it recover resources and eventually summon a high‑ATK boss to close out the game. Because it lacks a focused combo engine and carries 55 main‑deck cards, consistency and side‑deck adaptability are limited, pulling the overall power down. Interaction depth and board‑breaking tools are decent, but the large, unfocused list leaves room for brick and error, which caps its final score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Stun. Structural ≈ 54.15, Going First ≈ 0, Going Second ≈ 0, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Large main deck size (-2); No side deck (-5). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.61 · 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

• High density of hand traps and floodgates for early control.
• Robust draw/search toolbox (Pot of Prosperity, Triple Tactics Talent, Reinforcement of the Army).
• Multiple board‑breaking cards (Harpie's Feather Duster, Book of Eclipse).

Weaknesses

• Very large main deck leads to brick risk and slower consistency.
• Lack of side deck limits post‑side adaptability.
• Extra deck contains many generic options with low synergy.

Critical choke points

• Reliance on drawing a key boss monster (Bystial Magnamhut or Vanquish Soul boss).
• Need for specific hand traps (Ash Blossom, D.D. Crow) to establish early lock.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status; card text excerpts; copy counts and limited status
• Inferred: hand‑trap opening probability; brick risk from deck size; resource economy from draw/search cards; interaction quality from boss monsters; going‑second board‑break potential
• Provisional: matchup coverage due to missing tournament data
• 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
