forbidden Deck #757125 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz pressure from Purrely Xyz monsters (Epurrely Happiness, Expurrely Noir, Epurrely Beauty) and large Xyz/Dragon bodies (Galaxy-Eyes Antimatter Dragon, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS); Bystial / Phara / Dragon beatsticks from the Main Deck and Extra Deck
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Purrely Level 1 or Level 2 monster and a Quick-Play Spell, search or Special Summon a second Purrely monster, and build an Xyz from the Purrely Extra Deck pool (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Evenly Matched, Called by the Grave, Forbidden Droplet) to interrupt the opponent's engine, then convert through Purrely Xyz or the Bystial beatsticks (Inferred from card text)
• Recovery: Purrely Xyz that detach materials and Purrely searchers (Purrelyly, My Friend Purrely, Purrely) rebuild a board from the Deck and GY (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in this export; a best-of-3 deck would have no adaptation path

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in the TCG format: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so it is capped at 25 and the evaluation is theoretical/structural only. The engine is a Purrely Xyz package (about 23 Main Deck Purrely-archetype cards plus 9 Purrely Xyz in the Extra Deck) that opens with a Level 1 or 2 starter in roughly 69% of opening hands, which earns the consistency and resource scores. Hand traps, floodgate and removal text give the interaction and end-board scores moderate credit, but no recorded combos exist, so the combo ceiling and floor are text-only Inferred reads. The deck has no Side Deck, so the side adaptability score is low. Usage statistics and archetype popularity were not used as evidence of power, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-8). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 49.8, then -8 illegal-copy modifier = 41.8, then capped at 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.69 · 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

• Purrely Xyz engine is the most concentrated package, with 32 Purrely-archetype copies across Main and Extra
• Layered interaction: hand traps, Dimensional Fissure floodgate, Forbidden Droplet and Called by the Grave
• Strong closing bodies: Galaxy-Eyes Antimatter Dragon, AA-ZEUS and Phara

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over its copy limit
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Engine is Purrely-only in practice; the exact 'forbidden' archetype name covers 1 copy, so the archetype label is not a coherent engine label

Critical choke points

• Purrely Level 2 pair needed for the Xyz engine; a hand without them is a brick for the engine
• Ash Blossom copy count must drop to 2 before the list can be played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status from copy-limit violation (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 vs legal 2); Main 55 and Extra 14 are within TCG size rules; Purrely-archetype copies = 32 of 69 cards; Restricted cards: Limited and Semi-Limited statuses as listed; Core usage: archetype core present 5 of 10
• Inferred: Purrely Xyz engine opens with a starter in about 69% of opening hands; Hand-trap and floodgate coverage counts are estimates from curated flags
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• 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, going-second and matchup splits are unknown Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck registered; post-side plan cannot be assessed Deck title is null and the archetype label 'forbidden' covers only 1 copy
