Psy-Frame Deck #750875 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 10 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: High-ATK Synchro and Link beaters (Elfnote Tinia/Fortuna lines, Chaos Angel, Ruddy Rose Dragon, Vidolium) once the Elfnote/Power Patron engine lands; the Forbidden Synchros are unavailable in any legal build; Stardust Dragon and Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon board-protection plus beaters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Elfnote Lucina/Fortuna, Mulcharmy, Power Patron Portal) and Synchro into a 2000-3000 ATK boss, holding hand traps for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Droll, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first board, then Synchro through the gap
• Recovery: Elfnote recursion (Rhapsodia, Welcome Home) and Theorealize/Medius searches rebuild the board after a hand-trap exchange
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 side cards, so no post-side plan exists in the export

Why it scores here

This deck is Illegal in TCG: six Forbidden cards are run, three of them Elfnote Tinia at 3 copies, and ten copy-limit violations are present, so under the rubric it receives a capped, structural-only score of 30 rather than a normal final score. Structurally, the list reliably reaches a starter about three times in four (archetype-core P(at least one in opening 5) about 0.75, Inferred) and has unusually redundant interaction, with 12 hand traps and 9 negation-text cards, which is where most of its value comes from (Inferred). Its going-second plan is stronger than its going-first plan because the going-second hand has about a 78% chance of holding a hand trap. The score comes from consistency, interruption redundancy and interaction on the system, not from averaging card scores, and not from popularity: the Psy-Frame archetype label and the 14 Synchro monsters did not earn points by themselves. The score is held down by the empty side deck, by the Forbidden cards removing the strongest Extra Deck options, and by the absence of combo recordings and meta data.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52.7, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-7); engine_conflicts (-3); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: pre-cap = 0.80*52.7 + 0.20*42 + (-12) = 38.5; capped to 30 for an Illegal list (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.75 · 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

• Redundant hand-trap suite (12 cards) with a strong going-second hand chance
• Large removal and negation text density (24 and 9) for endboard interaction
• Broad searcher and recursion text (16) for resource recovery
• Several high-ATK Synchro and Link finishers (Vidolium, Chaos Angel, Dis Pater, Ruddy Rose)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in TCG: six Forbidden cards and ten copy-limit violations
• No side deck (0 cards), so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-archetype purity (5.6%) with conflicting Elfnote, Power Patron and PSY-Frame lines
• Heavy reliance on Forbidden Synchros for the top end of the Extra Deck

Critical choke points

• Elfnote Lucina and Fortuna starter access, which the archetype-core probability rests on
• Forbidden Elfnote Tinia and Forbidden Synchros removing the closing lines in any legal build

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 are within the TCG size rules; Six Forbidden cards and ten over-limit violations, from the banlist tokens; Archetype purity 5.6%, from the composition counts; Seven of seven archetype-core usage cards present
• Inferred: Archetype-core starter probability about 0.75 (hypergeometric); Going-second hand-trap probability about 0.78 (hypergeometric); Interaction, resilience and closing-power reads from card text and role tags
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit (no dated meta sample, no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Side deck is empty (0 cards): post-side adaptability cannot be assessed Deck title is null Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
