Blitzclique Deck #761749 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blitzclique Thunder chain: hand-activated Blitzclique starters destroy a monster or card, Special Summon Thunder monsters, and build a board of Thunder bodies that grind the opponent down.; Extra Deck boss pressure from Stardust Dragon - Victim Sanctuary, Albion the Branded Dragon, Mirrorjade and Chaos Angel-style Synchro/Fusion finishers when the Fallen of Albaz line is live.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a core Blitzclique starter (about 99.9% chance of at least one in a 5-card hand per the proxy group estimate, Inferred) and use hand-revealed removal to clear the first blocker, then extend with Thunder monsters; Breakaway or Steppleader supplies follow-up.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Fydraulis Harmonia, Blitzclique starters) and Solemn Judgment or Solemn Warning to slow the opponent's summons, then convert with Blitzclique Return Stroke protection and Extra Deck summons.
• Recovery: Recover Thunder monsters through Blitzclique Steppleader, Breakaway and the searcher text (20 cards) to rebuild after a single removal; Droll and Ash provide a second interaction layer.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games in its submitted form.

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency rests on the Blitzclique core (43 archetype cards, about 99.9% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred), which gives it a reliable hand-revealed removal starter on turn one. Its interaction layer is broad, with 33 removal-text cards, 12 negation-text cards, 6 hand traps and three Solemn-family counters, so it can slow an opponent through a turn cycle. Closing power is weaker because the Extra Deck lacks several of the usual bosses (Psychic End Punisher, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma and Albion the Branded Dragon are not run at full strength), and the list carries four archetype sub-engines (Albaz, Dogmatika, Branded, Mulcharmy) that dilute the chain. The score reflects consistency, interaction and system-level cohesion, not the popularity of Blitzclique and not an average of the card scores; there is no recorded combo data and no side deck. The copy-limit violation on The Fallen & The Virtuous makes the list illegal, so the 50 pre-cap score is capped to 35 and this evaluation is theoretical/structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile used; D13 provisional and kept at Midrange weight 5. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-2); Engine conflicts and dilution (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 56; + ContextModifiers(-6) = 50; Illegal legality override caps final at 35 (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core Blitzclique starters are at 3 copies each, giving high draw consistency (Inferred)
• Broad interaction across removal, negation and hand traps (Verified text)
• Hand-revealed starters allow flexible going-first and going-second turns (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on The Fallen & The Virtuous (3 vs 2 legal)
• Five Limited singles plus several Semi-Limited cards expose the deck to banlist change (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation (Verified)
• Sub-engine dilution: exact-name purity 27.8% (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Single Blitzclique starter line dependency on Thunder monster bodies to continue the chain
• Fallen of Albaz/Extra Deck requirements gate Mirrorjade and Albion access (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: The Fallen & The Virtuous at 3 copies vs 2 legal (Semi-Limited) makes the deck Illegal; Main 57 and Extra 15 are within TCG size rules; Side 0 is within 0-15; 33 removal-text, 12 negation-text, 6 hand-trap and 20 searcher-text cards from card text; Five Limited single-copy cards and four Semi-Limited cards
• Inferred: About 99.9% chance of at least one core Blitzclique starter in a 5-card hand (hypergeometric proxy); Consistency, brick and interaction scores derived from card text; Going-second hand-trap coverage about 0.50 (hypergeometric)
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup/format fit (D13) for lack of a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck submitted (side_count 0)
