Solemn Deck #754302 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Control, Fusion/Synchro
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion or Synchro Extra Deck boss (Elemental HERO Absolute Zero, Goyo Guardian, Colossal Fighter, Dark End Dragon) once the board is cleared and the opponent's answers are spent; Gorz the Emissary of Darkness and Cyber Dragon as bodies that pressure through interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Neos Alius, Deep Sea Diva, or a searcher (E - Emergency Call, Reinforcement of the Army) and set backrow to protect the first extender, then Synchro or Fusion through set interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold Mirror Force, Bottomless Trap Hole, Pulling the Rug, Dimensional Prison and Solemn Judgment to stop the opponent's first summon, then convert with Synchro or Fusion bosses
• Recovery: Recover via Hero Blast from the GY and Elemental HERO Stratos searches; weak recovery because no hand traps or recursion beyond these
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan (confidence low)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its 22 traps and 16 spells give a lot of interaction, but the starters are thin: three Neos Alius and a 25% chance of at least one in a five-card opening hand, with searchers only partly covering that gap. Interaction density is the deck's strongest area, though many of its traps need specific triggers and some do not fit the rest of the list. There are no recorded boards, so conversion and median output are text-based inference. The Solemn label does not describe the list: only one copy is an exact-name Solemn card, and the deck is a loose mix of Elemental HERO, Hole, Roid and staple traps. Popularity did not earn points. Four Forbidden cards are over the copy limit, so the deck is illegal and is capped; the score comes from the structural read only and does not reflect a legal, playable plan.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Control secondary (disclosed; default Toolbox weights used). Structural ≈ 40, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflict and no side (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck, capped: Final = 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*40 + 0.20*30 - 10 = 28

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

• Broad trap and spell interaction (Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute, Light-Imprisoning Mirror, Dust Tornado, Solemn Judgment)
• Strong Extra Deck bosses at 2500–2800 ATK
• Searchers for the Elemental HERO core (E - Emergency Call, Hero Blast)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: four Forbidden cards over the copy limit
• Low starter density (three Neos Alius, about 25% per opening hand)
• High card count spread (36 distinct) with low archetype coherence
• No Side Deck

Critical choke points

• Neos Alius as the sole Gemini starter enabling Gemini Spark and Miracle Fusion
• Forbidden card removal would drop the deck to 54 legal main cards if the copies are cut

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: four Forbidden cards over the copy limit; Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 against size rules; Card text and stats for listed cards; Usage stats: core Solemn/Kozmo cards absent from this list
• Observed: No recorded combo boards for this deck
• Inferred: Starter probability and brick estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Toolbox/Control strategy read from card mix; Dimension scores D1–D14 from text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit, with no dated metagame sample
• 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
