Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: FTK/Alternate-Win
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Control
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 7 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Instant win by holding Exodia the Forbidden One plus the four Forbidden One limbs (Left/Right Arm and Leg) in hand; Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate via Millennium Ankh, reached through Heart of the Blue-Eyes discard and Mulcharmy/Millennium searchers
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or draw Forbidden One pieces with Shield of the Millennium Dynasty, Sengenjin, Golem and Wedju Temple, while protecting the hand with Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Evenly Matched, Dimension Shifter) to stop the opponent, then assemble the five-piece hand or the Ankh engine over later turns
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Mulcharmy Purulia draw cards when the field is empty; Millennium searchers rebuild the hand
• After siding: None: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This deck is capped low because it is illegal in TCG: three copies of Dimension Shifter (Forbidden) and three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (Semi-Limited, 2 legal) exceed the banlist, so the result is theoretical and structural only. Structurally, the Exodia win needs five specific pieces in hand, and only one copy of each limb and of Exodia is run, so a functional opening is rare and most hands are bricks. The Millennium and Ankh engine (Heart of the Blue-Eyes, Millennium Ankh, Sengenjin, Shield, Golem, Wedju Temple) gives a second route, and twelve hand traps plus several negates protect it. Popularity and archetype familiarity earned no points, and no card scores were averaged; the score comes from the system's consistency, fragility and interaction read. There is no recorded combo, guide, side deck or tournament data, so the floor and median are inferred from text only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: FTK / Alternate-Win. Structural ≈ 39, Going First ≈ 35, Going Second ≈ 30, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); unrecoverable choke point (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 37.2, then modifiers -12 = 25.2, then Illegal cap applied = 20

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.39 · 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

• Instant-win Exodia route that closes the game without a board
• Twelve hand traps and several negates give layered interaction
• Millennium engine via Heart of the Blue-Eyes and Millennium Ankh gives a second route
• Extra Deck has three Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate plus Link backups

Weaknesses

• Illegal banlist count (Dimension Shifter x3, Ash Blossom x3)
• Five-piece Exodia hand is rarely opened and has only one copy of each piece
• Many generic tech and staple slots dilute the engine
• No Side Deck, so no adaptation after game one
• No recorded combos, guides or tournament data to verify the lines

Critical choke points

• A single answered Forbidden One piece ends the Exodia route
• Heart of the Blue-Eyes and Millennium Ankh are needed for the Unstoppable Exodia route
• Dimension Shifter's floodgate role is inoperable under TCG banlist rules

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Dimension Shifter (Forbidden) x3 and Ash Blossom x3 over limit; Main 55, Extra 7, Side 0; Five one-copy Forbidden One pieces plus Exodia in the main deck; Archetype core group P(≥1 in opening 5) = 0.3909
• Inferred: Five-piece Exodia hand is rare and fragile; Interaction density is high from hand-trap and negate text; Millennium engine provides a second route; Scores D1 through D14 are estimated from card text and hypergeometric draw odds
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup and format fit are unscored: no tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists, so going-first and going-second splits are inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No guides attached to the archetype
