Goblin Deck #761789 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Memento Fusion/Special Summon line into Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, Mementotlan Twin Dragon or Mementotlan-Horned Dragon (text-only read; no recorded boards); Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation (5000 ATK, Special Summoned by shuffling 5 Memento monsters) as a late-game finisher
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Mementotlan Angwitch / Mementotlan Bone Party / Mementotlan Ghattic, then Mementotlan Fusion or Pot of Prosperity into a Memento Fusion Monster (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched) and Forbidden Droplet / Mementotlan Mace to disrupt the opposing board, then rebuild through Memento GY recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover Memento monsters from GY and banish via Mementotlan Ghattic, Mementotlan Akihiron and Mementotlan-Horned Dragon (Inferred from text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: side_count is 0, so there is no post-side plan in the list

Why it scores here

This list is scored as a 59-card Memento-centred Midrange system, not as an average of card scores: searchers (16 searcher-text cards, P(at least one in a 5-card hand) about 0.81) make the engine reasonably accessible, and Memento recursion plus five hand traps and roughly 27 removal-text cards give it real resilience and interaction on paper. The single-copy Memento starters are thin (P(at least one 3-copy starter in opening 5) about 0.24), and the 59-card main with 30 level-0 spells and traps, 14 tech slots and conditional summon requirements lowers brick management, compactness and pilotability. Popularity of the Goblin label does not earn points: exact-name archetype purity is 6.8% and the list is mostly Memento and off-archetype staples, and the four legality violations (two Forbidden cards, Super Polymerization over its limit, Droll & Lock Bird over its limit) cap the score. No recorded boards, sideboard or tournament data exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences and the Meta Power is provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary disclosed, not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 50.6, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist and copy-limit exposure (-8); Brick and engine conflict (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*50.6 + 0.20*35 - 12 = 35.5; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (four copy-limit/Forbidden violations). Meta Power is null (Provisional).

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 searcher text (16 cards) gives high access to a live line
• Five hand traps and about 27 removal-text cards give broad interaction
• Memento recursion provides several routes after an interruption
• Boss-level Extra Deck monsters (Creation King, Twin Dragon, Horned Dragon)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards and two copy-limit overages
• No sideboard (side_count 0)
• Low compactness: 59 main cards with 14 tech and 30 level-0 spells/traps
• Label mismatch: archetype Goblin, but exact-name purity is 6.8% and the engine is Memento

Critical choke points

• Memento summon conditions: most Memento monsters need a destroyed/banished monster or a specific GY state
• Single-copy Memento starters, P(at least one in opening 5) about 0.24
• Creation King and Twin Dragon both need Memento materials in Deck/GY

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 4 violations under the TCG BanList; Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 sizes; Copy histogram 1:11, 2:3, 3:14; Archetype exact-name purity 6.8%; Usage stats: 4 archetype core cards (100% inclusion) absent from this list
• Inferred: Starter access P(>=1 searcher in 5) about 0.81 and P(>=1 3-copy starter in 5) about 0.24; Brick risk from conditional Memento summons and tech density; Ceiling and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (no dated sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck empty (side_count 0)
