Prophecy Deck #759620 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual or Fusion boss (Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier, Master of Chaos, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon) at 3000 ATK, reached through a Dark Magician / Light and Darkness Ritual engine; Link-based board pressure (Accesscode Talker, Charmer Quartet, Selene) once Link Monsters are on the field
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Magician's Rod or Dark Magical Curtain to find Dark Magician or the ritual spell, then Ritual Summon through Light and Darkness Ritual or Illusion of Chaos toward a 3000-ATK boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Dominus Impulse for the opponent's turn, then use the same engine once the board is cleared
• Recovery: Searchers (Ragged Records of Rites, Mind Shuffle, Dark Magical Circle) and Magicians' Souls rebuild the hand from the Deck and GY
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck has a coherent core: Dark Magician and Light and Darkness Ritual searchers feed a Ritual or Fusion boss at 3000 ATK, supported by five hand-trap-style cards and a broad set of negation and removal text. Consistency is moderate (Inferred): the 3-copy starters reach at least one copy in 5 cards only about 31% of the time, while the archetype core group reaches a live card about 97% of the time. The score is not driven by Prophecy being a common archetype, and no card scores were averaged. The score is capped low because the list is Illegal (Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse each run 3 copies against a limit of 2, and Protectcode Talker is Forbidden), so this is a theoretical, structural-only read. No recorded boards or side deck exist, so floor, median and post-side terms remain largely unmeasured.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); No recorded combos (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 53 before modifiers; capped at 35 for an Illegal list (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.31 · 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

• Dense searcher and draw text (18 searcher cards) gives a high chance of finding a starter
• Five hand-trap cards and layered negation and removal text support going second
• Multiple 2800-3000 ATK boss routes give closing power if the engine goes live

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit and Forbidden violations make the deck unplayable in-format as built
• Low 3-copy starter access (P = 0.31 in opening 5) for the lead starter
• Empty side deck leaves no post-side adaptability
• Off-archetype spread (6.8% exact-name purity) dilutes engine coherence

Critical choke points

• Dark Magician / Light and Darkness Ritual as the lead engine; losing it to a single negation shuts the line
• Ritual boss depends on Light and Darkness Ritual and the correct Tribute or banish material

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 44 and Extra 15 are within the TCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse are over the Semi-Limited copy limit; Protectcode Talker is Forbidden in the TCG banlist
• Observed: Archetype usage shows the core cards Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Dark Magical Curtain are standard
• Inferred: Starter access P(>=1 in 5) = 0.31 for 3-copy starters; Ceiling and interaction read from card text of 3000-ATK bosses and hand traps; Going-second hand-trap coverage from text
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability
• 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, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Side deck empty; no post-side evidence Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
