Ashtra Deck #765267 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ashtra and Kashtira monster pressure (Ashtraja Susanoo, Mikumari, Akasuna, Kashtira Ogre/Unicorn) converted through Synchro/Xyz summons and board control, inferred from card text only; Synchro/Xyz extra-deck finishers (Shangri-Ira, Ashtraya Mikumari-no-Mikoto, Ashtraja Susanoo)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Ashtra face-down reveal starters or Kashtira Birth, use searchers (Ashtrashen, Mikumari, Kashtira Unicorn/Ogre) to find a second starter, then extend to a Synchro or Xyz (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse for the opponent's first summon or search, then convert the remaining hand into a Kashtira or Ashtra board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion through Ashtrashen, Kashtira Preparations and Ashtra's Howl/Web from the GY, and Kashtira Birth to re-summon banished Kashtira monsters (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs an empty side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The score is a structural-only estimate because the list is illegal: four cards exceed their copy limits, including Kashtira Fenrir, which is Forbidden. The deck's engine has real redundancy, with the archetype core in the opening hand about 99% of the time and 13 searcher effects, so the opening is consistent on paper (Inferred). Its interaction package (Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Synchro Emergency, Ashtra's Domain/Web/Howl) is broad, which supports the endboard and interaction scores. Conversion and median output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so those scores rest on text reads only. The deck has no side deck, a mixed sub-archetype spread (Ashtra 18, Kashtira 12, several off-theme Extra Deck lines), and no tournament or meta data. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical structural-only. Formula 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 0.80*53 + 0.20*45 = 51.4; modifiers -8 gives 43.4; illegal-list cap applied, final score 30.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Archetype core is almost always present in the opening hand (~99%)
• Broad interaction package: Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Synchro Emergency, Ashtra's Domain/Web/Howl
• Thirteen searcher-text effects provide redundancy

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: four cards over copy limit, including a Forbidden card
• Empty side deck gives no post-side plan
• Low exact-archetype purity (33%) and a mixed Extra Deck
• No recorded boards, so conversion and median output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden and must be removed before the deck is playable
• Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies each are above the Semi-Limited limit of 2
• Ashtra face-down reveal starters require a face-down card in place

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 and Extra 15 sizes are legal for TCG; Four copy-limit violations including Kashtira Fenrir (Forbidden); Exact-archetype purity 32.7%; Deck runs an empty side deck; Opening-hand hypergeometric probabilities
• Observed: Archetype core inclusion proxy (usage stats) for 12 of 25 core cards
• Inferred: Starter reliability and brick estimates from card text; Interaction quality from negation and removal text; Going-first and going-second plans; Resilience and recovery from searcher and recursion text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample and no tournament link; Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: Deck is Illegal (four copy-limit violations including a Forbidden card), so no normal final score can be issued No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference usage_statistics.in_this_deck flags conflict with the card list: Blaze, Ashtraja Susanoo, Kerzebs, Crystal Wing, Ursarctic cards and Ashtraya Mikumari-no-Mikoto are present in cards but marked in_this_deck false; the Extra Deck cannot be verified from the usage stats No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN No guides attached to the archetype Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
