Harpie Deck #736343 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 61/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Control / Board denial leading to incremental advantage and eventual win via Sky Striker Ace direct attacks; Board wipe with Harpie's Feather Duster or Lightning Storm
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with hand trap (Infinite Impermanence) to negate, then activate Sky Striker Mobilize - Linkage! to summon Sky Striker Ace - Raye, generate draws and set up link chain
• Turn 2 (going second): Deploy hand traps to disrupt, then use Harpie's Feather Duster or Lightning Storm to clear opponent board, followed by Sky Striker link summons for damage
• Recovery: Utilize draw/search cards (Upstart Goblin, Triple Tactics Talent, Sky Striker Mecha - Lemnisgate) to refill hand and re‑establish control
• After siding: No side deck; rely on flexible hand‑trap suite and draw power to adapt

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens with a hand trap or Sky Striker starter about 69% of the time, giving a solid control engine. It converts that starter into multiple Sky Striker link summons and draws, providing a high ceiling while maintaining a consistent median of board control. Abundant negation and board‑wipe tools give strong interaction and resilience, though the large 55‑card main deck and lack of a side deck reduce efficiency and adaptability. Overall, the system’s control‑oriented design yields a moderate structural power despite brick risk and complexity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: High brick risk (-2); No side deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.69 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.31 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High hand‑trap count for disruption
• Strong draw and search engine via Sky Striker spells
• Flexible link‑summon routes and multiple starters
• Effective board‑wipe options (Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm, Raigeki)

Weaknesses

• 31% brick risk without core starter
• Large 55‑card main deck reduces efficiency
• No side deck limits adaptability
• Complex timing decisions increase error potential

Critical choke points

• Opening hand must contain at least one core starter (hand trap or Sky Striker starter)
• Reliance on multiple specific Sky Striker links for optimal pressure

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: legality status Legal; card text excerpts resolved; copy counts per card; limited status of restricted cards
• Inferred: engine accessibility probability; brick risk estimate; combo ceiling inference; median output inference; starter redundancy inference; resource economy inference; interaction quality inference; going‑second board‑break potential inference; closing power inference; main deck efficiency inference; extra deck coverage inference; side deck adaptability inference; pilotability error tolerance inference
• Provisional: meta power provisional due to missing tournament data; matchup coverage provisional
• 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
