Prophecy Deck #761920 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dark Magician / Blue-Eyes boss monsters (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Blue-Eyes Chaos MAX Dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon) backed by Prophecy-style Dark Magician searches and hand traps; Extra Deck Synchro, Link and Fusion finishers (Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Dragon Master Magia, Stardust Sifr) as follow-up pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening starters (Dark Magical Circle, Magicians Souls, Soul Servant) search Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes pieces toward a single Level 8 or higher boss, with Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler held for opposing starters
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler) interrupt the opponent's starter, then Dark Magical Curtain or Blue-Eyes searches rebuild a board
• Recovery: Graveyard-based revival through Dark Magician, Magicians Souls and Blue-Eyes Abyss Dragon effects, plus searchers that refill the hand after a hand trap is spent
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal (Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring is run three times against a limit of two), so it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score and is capped low as a theoretical, structural-only read. Its engine is consistent on paper: searchers and Dark Magician pieces reach a starter in about 93 percent of opening hands, and the Dark Magician core is near-universal in hand, so the deck usually has something to do on turn one. Interaction is its best trait, with 11 hand traps and about 72 percent odds of at least one hand trap in a going-second six-card hand. Its recorded combo output is unavailable, so combo ceiling and floor are text-only inferences and score in the 38 to 40 range. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score; the score comes from consistency, interaction and the Extra Deck on the system.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability - 12 (illegal copy-limit cap); Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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 Dark Magician engine gives high starter access (Inferred)
• 11 hand traps and multiple negation effects give layered interaction (Inferred)
• Recursion via Graveyard effects supports a second line after disruption (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring over the copy limit (Verified)
• Mixed sub-archetypes (Dark Magician, Blue-Eyes, Prophecy, Chaos, Timaeus, Endymion) dilute engine coherence (Verified composition)
• No Side Deck and no recorded boards, so the deck cannot be tested post-side or against recorded lines (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Dark Magician and Blue-Eyes boss monsters are mostly single copies, so losing a key Extra Deck monster removes the main finisher (Inferred)
• Ash Blossom over the copy limit must be cut to two copies before the deck is playable in TCG (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring copy limit violation (3 run, 2 legal); Main Deck 60 and Extra Deck 15 within TCG size rules; Droll and Lock Bird and Called by the Grave within their limits; Exact-name archetype purity 6.7 percent, 70 off-archetype copies
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.93 from hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction density from hand traps and negation text; Going-first and going-second split from card text and hand odds
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit, pending a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry, so going-first and going-second splits and brick rate are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no Side Deck, so post-side adaptability is unscored
