Clown Crew Deck #762470 — 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 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Clown Crew Extra Deck summons (Biancaviso, Diabolo, Meteor, Dristy) and Mitsurugi Ritual beatdown, both built on Clown Crew Rehearsal / Malabarisme / Soiree Operations chains; Mitsurugi Ritual Monsters (Ame no Murakumo, Futsu no Mitama) with Mitsurugi Mirror and Mitsurugi Ritual
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Clown Crew Rehearsal or Mulcharmy Fuwalos for a searcher/summon line into a Clown Crew Extra Deck monster; play through Solemn Judgment and Called by the Grave as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird, Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle/Ghost Ogre to break the opponent's first line, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and Clown Crew recursion
• Recovery: Recover from GY via Clown Crew Rehearsal banish effect, Mitsurugi Ritual recursion and Mulcharmy hand draws
• After siding: Not evaluable: zero Side Deck cards

Why it scores here

The list runs a reasonably dense Clown Crew core (21 single-copy and multi-copy archetype cards, with an archetype-core proxy of about 0.90 to open at least one in a 5-card hand), so the engine should usually be reachable on turns 1 to 2 (Inferred). Its searchers and Mulcharmy draw effects give it some recovery, and nine hand traps plus five negation or removal spells give it real interaction density on the field. Conversion and median output are not measurable because the deck has no recorded boards, so those scores are text-only inference. The score is capped low because the deck exceeds the copy limits for Mitsurugi Prayers (3 vs 1) and Super Polymerization (3 vs 2), so it is evaluated as theoretical and structural only. Popularity of the Clown Crew archetype did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, no secondary weighting applied. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure_illegal_copies (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + Modifiers(-12) = 36; Illegal deck, theoretical/structural only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.1 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense Clown Crew core with several searchers and draw effects
• Nine hand traps plus layered negation and removal spells
• Extra Deck covers Fusion, Synchro, XYZ and Link

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Mitsurugi Prayers and Super Polymerization
• Zero Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Low archetype purity (24%) with Mitsurugi and Mulcharmy spread
• No recorded combos to confirm conversion

Critical choke points

• Clown Crew Rehearsal and Mulcharmy Fuwalos as the main early engine starters
• Mitsurugi Ritual chain depends on single-copy Ritual Monsters

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Mitsurugi Prayers over copy limit (3 vs 1); Super Polymerization over copy limit (3 vs 2); Main 59, Extra 15, Side 0 within size rules; Zero Side Deck cards
• Observed: Archetype purity 24.3% with Mitsurugi (12) and Mulcharmy (5) spread
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in opening 5) about 0.87; Hand trap coverage and layered interaction read from card text; Structural scores from composition and probabilities
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame or tournament data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta share and pilot records absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null
