Junk Deck #754445 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon a large Extra Deck monster (Elfnote June Pride, Junora, Elfnote Seraphim Strelitzia, Vidolium-supported Power Patron lines) and convert the board with attacks or effect damage; Hand-trap disruption on the opponent's summons and activations, then Synchro through the gap
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Elfnote starters (Lucina, Tinia, Regina, Fortuna, Power Patron) and Special Summon into a Synchro with Tuners such as Jet Synchron, Starjunk Synchron or Accel Synchron; hold Ash Blossom / Ghost Belle / Droll as protection (Inferred from text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Fydraulis) to interrupt the opponent's summon or activation, then Synchro with the surviving board (Inferred from text)
• Recovery: Recover through Elfnote and Power Patron searchers (Junoldo, Medius, Elfnote Regina) and Jet Synchron GY effect (Inferred from text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal: four cards exceed their copy limits (Elfnote Lucina and Elfnote Tinia at 3 copies against a limit of 1, Terminus at 3 against 1, Ash Blossom at 3 against 2), so the normal Final Contextual score is capped and this result is structural-only. Within that cap, the Elfnote family gives the deck a dense starter core (30 copies, P(at least one in opening 5) about 0.98, Inferred from the Main Deck only), and the 11 hand traps plus Solemn Judgment, Called by the Grave and Synchro Emergency give real interaction breadth. The deck does not reliably open a single starter: each 3-copy card has only about a 25% chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand, and 68 of 55-plus copies sit outside the exact Junk archetype name, so engine coherence is weak. No recorded boards, tournament record or side deck exist, so ceiling, median and post-side strength are unmeasured rather than averaged from card scores. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not used to earn points, and the Synchro extra-deck pool was scored on structure, not on card-by-card averages.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-5); no_side_deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*49 + 0.20*35 - 8 = 38.2, then capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• 11 hand traps and 13 negation-text cards give broad interaction on both turns
• Elfnote core of 30 copies makes some engine piece in hand likely (P about 0.98 in opening 5, Main Deck only)
• Extra Deck fills all 15 slots with Synchro monsters, with a wide Level and attribute spread
• Solemn Judgment, Called by the Grave and Synchro Emergency add support against key cards

Weaknesses

• Illegal: 4 cards over their copy limits
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Exact archetype purity is 2.9%, so the deck is a mix of Elfnote, Power Patron and Mulcharmy rather than one engine
• No recorded boards or tournament record, so the combo and meta scores are unmeasured
• Most 3-copy cards have only about 25% chance to appear in an opening 5

Critical choke points

• Legality: 2 Elfnote Lucina, 2 Elfnote Tinia, 2 Terminus and 1 Ash Blossom must come out before the list is legal
• Elfnote core: the 30-copy group depends on a few Limited-status cards that the deck has to reduce
• Synchro dependence: all 15 Extra Deck cards need Tuners, so Tuner count is a single point of failure

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; 4 copy-limit violations and restricted_cards list; Card text and stats per the cards section; Extra Deck is 15 Synchro cards
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability and consistency estimates; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Interaction quality from text; Pilotability from sequencing complexity
• Provisional: Meta fit (D13) and Meta Power, no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: Deck is Illegal (4 copy-limit violations), so the normal Final Contextual score is capped No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No side deck: post-side plan cannot be evaluated Usage statistics show in_this_deck=false for Extra Deck cards that are present in the cards list (e.g. Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, Chaos Angel), so the usage comparison is unreliable No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
