Prophecy Deck #762500 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dark Magician-family boss monsters (Dark Magician the Dragon Knight, Timaeus, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon) on board, supported by Dark Magical Circle / Dark Magical Curtain recursion and Gandora-G / Shining Sarcophagus; Link and Fusion extenders (Underworld Goddess, Selene, Dark Magician of Destruction) when the Extra Deck lines up
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Dark Magical Curtain or Dark Magical Circle to search Dark Magician or Shining Sarcophagus, then build a Dark Magician / Timaeus board while holding Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence to blank the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Magicians' Souls and Soul Servant recursion
• Recovery: Use Magicians' Souls and Soul Servant to recycle Dark Magicians from the GY, and Forbidden Droplet / Forbidden Crown to reset an opposing board
• After siding: Not evaluable: the list runs no Side Deck (0 of up to 15 cards), so no post-side plan exists as built

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens into its Dark Magician core: the archetype core group gives about 98% odds of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and about 86% for at least one searcher-text card (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates). Its strongest trait is interaction density: 13 hand traps and 17 negation-text cards let it blank most first-turn plans, which is why the going-second profile scores higher than the going-first one. Conversion and median output could not be measured because no recorded boards exist, so those scores rest on card text alone and are held near the middle. The deck is an Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against a limit of two, so the score is capped low and labeled structural-only. Popularity and archetype share were not counted, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary, not weighted separately. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Banlist/copy-limit exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 57.8 before modifiers; modifiers applied (-12, clamped); Illegal-list cap then sets final to 38

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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 hand-trap and negation suite (13 hand traps, 17 negation-text cards) that blanks many opening plans
• High archetype-core density gives reliable access to Dark Magician starters
• Recursion (Magicians' Souls, Soul Servant, Dark Magical Circle) supports multi-turn resource recovery
• Strong boss options at 2800–3000 ATK across Fusion and Link Extra Deck slots

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against a limit of 2
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low archetype purity (5.6% exact-name) suggests a loose, generic-heavy build that may brick
• Heavy reliance on text-level reads with no recorded boards to confirm the combo ceiling

Critical choke points

• Dark Magician / Dark Magical Circle access as the main engine starter
• Ash Blossom (illegal third copy) as a core interaction piece

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck composition: 57 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies, Semi-Limited limit 2 (Illegal); Card text and banlist status for every listed card
• Inferred: Core access probabilities (≈0.98 core, ≈0.86 searcher, ≈0.81 hand-trap going second); Interaction density strength from hand-trap and negation text counts; Brick and conflict estimates from composition
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (no tournament or meta sample); Median output and tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups, brick rate, or starter rate Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck supplied
