Synchron Deck #752181 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Tempo, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kewl Tune Synchro Summons (Kewl Tune Remix, Track Maker, B2B, RS, Crackle, Loudness War) pressuring the board with Tuner-based Synchro lines; Non-Kewl Tune Synchro bosses (Zalen, Golden Cloud Beast - Malong, Enigmaster Packbit, Visas Amritara, Despian Luluwalilith) when the Kewl Tune line is interrupted
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Kewl Tune Tuner (Cue, Mix, Reco or Clip), search a Kewl Tune card, and Synchro Summon into a Kewl Tune boss; hand traps (Ash, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle) are held for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (15 in deck) to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild a Tuner and Synchro Summon the engine through the resulting open field
• Recovery: Revive or search Tuners from GY via Kewl Tune effects and Synchro again; Ghost Ogre and Ghost Belle recursion and Jet Synchron GY effect are the recovery routes
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has an empty Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system on its Kewl Tune Synchro engine, its 15 hand-trap and interaction cards, and its Extra Deck coverage, not as an average of card scores. Starter access is moderate: about 75 percent of opening hands contain at least one of the 13 Kewl Tune core cards, but three-copy starters each show only about 25 percent per opening hand, so the engine is reliable only as a repeated draw-and-search system. Interaction density is high (15 hand traps, 17 searchers, 28 removal-text cards), which supports resilience and going-second play, but the list has no recorded combos, so combo conversion is an inferred structural read only. Popularity and archetype-usage signals were not used to add points, and the deck has no side deck, which removes post-side credit. Because the list is illegal in TCG (three Forbidden copies and five over-limit Limited or Semi-Limited cards), the score is capped at structural-only and is not a normal contextual score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (illegal) (-10). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + Modifiers(-10) = 40.4, capped to 20 because the list is Illegal in TCG; structural-only, not a normal contextual score

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Dense hand-trap and negation suite (15 hand traps, 18 negation-text cards) gives strong resilience on going second
• Kewl Tune Synchro engine has many Tuner searchers (17 searcher-text cards) and redundant Tuner routes
• Compact main deck (56 cards, 29 distinct) with a Synchro-heavy Extra Deck of 15

Weaknesses

• Illegal in TCG: 3 Forbidden copies and 5 over-limit Limited/Semi-Limited cards
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median output cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Kewl Tune Synchro and the Kewl Tune Tuner set are the only route to most bosses; removing the Limited copies cuts the engine
• Three Kewl Tune Rotary are Forbidden, so the list cannot be played as built

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 8 copy-limit violations, Illegal status (56 main, 15 extra, 0 side); Banlist statuses for Kewl Tune Rotary, Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden) and Limited/Semi-Limited cards; Archetype spread: Kewl Tune 26, generic 24, Mulcharmy 5, Synchro 4
• Observed: Usage stats show Ash Blossom, Called by the Grave and Droll & Lock Bird as core cards in the archetype
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, core and hand-trap probabilities; Strategy classification as Midrange with Tempo and Toolbox secondaries; Interaction and resilience dimension scores from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (no tournament context)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck is empty; no post-side evidence Archetype label 'Synchron' does not match the Kewl Tune-dominated card pool (26 Kewl Tune copies vs 5 Synchron-named cards)
