Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 12 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Mitsurugi Ritual boss monsters (Ame no Murakumo, Futsu no Mitama, Wousu) plus Extra Deck Link/Fusion beats; Extra Deck Xyz and Fusion pressure once the board is cleared
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Mitsurugi starter (Aramasa/Saji/Kusanagi) or Mitsurugi Ritual, then Ritual Summon a Mitsurugi boss, with Ash Blossom and Droll as backup interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with a hand trap (8 copies, about 63 percent to hold one) to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Mitsurugi searchers
• Recovery: Searchers (21 copies, about 92 percent to hit one in a 5-card hand) and Mitsurugi graveyard recursion (Mitsurugi Prayers, Mitsurugi Great Purification)
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This deck scores as a system and its legality is not valid. It reliably finds a Mitsurugi starter (about 92 percent to hit a searcher in a 5-card hand, Inferred) and has eight hand traps to answer a first board. The 55-card Main Deck is 15 cards over the 40 to 60 band's comfortable midpoint, shows only 4.3 percent exact archetype purity, and carries 12 copies over the copy limit, including seven Forbidden cards. There is no recorded combo data, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. No tournament or meta data exists, so the score does not reflect popularity or matchup results, and card scores were not averaged. Because the list is Illegal, it gets the capped theoretical score rather than a normal Final Contextual score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical/structural-only. Raw 0.80*51 + 0.20*45 = 49.8, minus 12 in modifiers = 37.8, capped to 35 for illegality.

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

• About 92 percent searcher access in a 5-card hand
• Eight hand traps plus broad negation and removal text
• Multiple Mitsurugi boss monsters with 2000 to 3200 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal: 12 copy-limit violations and seven Forbidden cards in the list
• Main Deck of 55 cards with 4.3 percent exact archetype purity
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Mitsurugi Ritual (3 copies) for the ritual boss route
• Single-copy Forbidden cards whose removal would require rebuilding the list

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 counts (within size rules); Illegal status with 12 copy-limit violations and 7 Forbidden cards; No Side Deck (0 cards); Extra Deck breakdown 6 Fusion, 4 Xyz, 4 Link, 1 Synchro
• Observed: No combo boards recorded for this deck
• Inferred: About 92 percent searcher access in a 5-card hand; About 25 percent single-copy starter access in a 5-card hand; About 63 percent hand trap access in a 6-card hand; Ritual boss ceiling read from card text
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (no dated sample or tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta share and pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists, so going-first and matchup figures are Inferred or Unknown No Side Deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
