Sangen Deck #764925 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Angelechy Extra Deck synchro boards with 3000 ATK bodies (Angelechy Shatranga, Angelechy Bastion, Angelechy Seneschal, Sangenpai Transcendent Dragion), reached through Angelechy Opening to e4 and Angelechy Strategy Score (text read, Inferred); Tenpai Dragon and Sangen FIRE Dragon recursion and Tuner setup via Tenpai Dragon Paidra, Genroku and Fadra (text read, Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening to e4 or Strategy Score to place an Angelechy Field Spell and summon an Angelechy monster from the Extra Deck, supported by Opposition and Ash Blossom as protection (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru and Dominus Impulse to interrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Angelechy Opposition or Tenpai Dragon searches (Inferred)
• Recovery: Tenpai Dragon Genroku and Fadra special summon from the GY, plus Sangen Summoning and Sangen Kaimen searches (text read, Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a starter in most hands: the Archetype core group is present in 93 percent of opening 5-card hands (proxy estimate, Inferred), and at least one searcher is present in about 72 percent. Its conversion is scored from card text only, because no combos were supplied, so the ceiling and median dimensions are deliberately conservative. Interaction is broad (24 removal-text cards, 10 negation-text cards, 8 hand traps), which supports the going-second score, and the 3000 ATK Extra Deck bosses drive the closing score. The score is not an average of card scores, and popularity or meta share did not earn points because no tournament or meta data exists. The list is Illegal because Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse are run three copies against a Semi-Limited limit of two, so the figure is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-4); No side deck (-3). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical structural-only. Raw blend 0.80*54 + 0.20*45 = 52 is not used; the illegal-deck cap sets the final score to 20.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.07 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Broad interaction suite: 8 hand traps, 10 negation-text cards and 24 removal-text cards (Inferred from text)
• Extra Deck coverage across Angelechy and Sangen synchros with several 3000 ATK bosses (Verified structure)
• Searchers and recursion (Tenpai Dragon Genroku, Fadra, Chundra) support resource recovery (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse run 3 times against a limit of 2
• No side deck, so there is no best-of-3 adaptation
• Low archetype purity (5.7 percent exact-name) across mixed sub-archetypes, which may weaken engine coherence (Inferred)
• Zero recorded boards, so the real conversion rate is unknown

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck Angelechy monsters must be reached through Opening to e4 or Strategy Score; without a Continuous Spell placement the boss lines stall (Inferred)
• Over-limit Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse must be cut before this list can be played legally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse each run 3 copies against Semi-Limited limit 2; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; Main and Extra counts are within size rules; Extra Deck: 14 Synchro and 1 Link; Archetype purity 5.7 percent exact name; archetype spread recorded
• Observed: Usage statistics list the Sangen archetype core cards; the deck's copies of them are present (as shown in the export)
• Inferred: Primary strategy Combo with Stun secondary, from the card text and the composition; Hypergeometric starter, brick and hand-trap odds; Interaction density and closing power read from text; Going-first and going-second plans from text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit: no dated meta sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate, going-first or matchup telemetry exists for this deck usage_statistics.core_cards marks several Extra Deck Angelechy and Sangen monsters as in_this_deck false even though the card list shows them in the Extra zone (Angelechy Castellan, Destrier, Seneschal, Enlisted x2, Shatranga, Bastion, Sangenpai Bident and Transcendent Dragion, Trident, Kuibelt, Malong, Vorpgate, Hieratic Seal, Kusanagi). core_present_pct 44 is therefore likely a Main-Deck-only artifact and was not used as evidence of missing core cards. Side deck is empty (side_count 0)
