Prophecy Deck #759634 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Dark Magician of Destruction, Timaeus, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Underworld Goddess) reached through Dark Magician starters and Fusion/Link material; Dark Magician recursion and Spell-based draw/search engine (Magicians' Souls, Soul Servant, Dark Magical Circle)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Dark Magician starter (Dark Magician Girl, Magicians' Souls, Apprentice Illusion Magician), search a Dark Magician or Shining Sarcophagus follow-up, then build toward a Fusion or Link boss; hand traps protect the first starter
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) to disrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild with search and a Dark Magician boss
• Recovery: Recur Dark Magician-named cards from the GY (Magician's Rod, Soul Servant, Magicians' Souls) and reuse Spell searchers (Dark Magical Circle, Shining Sarcophagus) to rebuild the engine
• After siding: No side deck is run (0 of 15 slots), so no post-side plan exists; the list is also illegal as built

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against a Semi-Limited limit of two, so the score is capped and reported as structural/theoretical only. Structurally the deck can reliably reach a Dark Magician starter (core-group draw odds are high) and has dense interaction (13 hand traps plus tech and negation text), which is what earns the most points. Conversion and median output are the weak points: there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling and floor are text-only inferences, and only 4 of 57 main cards carry the exact Prophecy name, so engine coherence depends on a mixed Dark Magician and generic shell. The side deck is empty, and no tournament or win-rate data exists, so Meta Power is provisional and null and Tournament Reliability is a low estimate. The score was not derived by averaging card scores, and the archetype's popularity was not credited as strength.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-15). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) - 15 illegal-list cap = ~36

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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 interaction suite (hand traps, negation text, removal text)
• Dark Magician core is reliably drawn (archetype-core group P(open) 0.98)
• Extra Deck bosses reach 2800 to 3000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom run 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Low exact-archetype purity (5.6%): engine coherence relies on generic and off-archetype cards
• Empty Side Deck (0 of 15) gives no post-side adaptability
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring copy count must be cut to 2 before the list is legal
• Dark Magician starter access is the single gate to the Extra Deck boss lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2 (Illegal); Main 57 and Extra 15 are within the TCG size rules; Limited cards (Called by the Grave, S:P Little Knight, Triple Tactics Talent) are each run at 1 copy; 0 side deck cards are run
• Observed: Usage stats show the Dark Magician core is standard for the Prophecy archetype (15 of 24 core cards present)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter access 0.24 per 3-copy card in opening 5; Going-second hand-trap coverage 0.81 for the 13 hand-trap group; Structural score derived from the Combo weight profile
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) require a dated metagame sample
• 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/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null in the export
