Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Clown Crew Ritual/Synchro/Fusion board pressure converted by Tribute Summon chains (Biancaviso, Cappello, Flair) and Zaborg/Packbit-class bosses in the Extra Deck; Mulcharmy draw-engine attrition using Fuwalos and Purulia
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Clown Crew Rehearsal or Cappello and Mulcharmy Fuwalos for card advantage, then Tribute into a Clown Crew Extra Deck boss; hand traps held for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, and Droll & Lock Bird as hand traps to interrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild with Clown Crew Biancaviso draws
• Recovery: Clown Crew Flair and Clown Crew Finale re-enable a Clown Crew monster from the GY or banishment after a hand-trap-heavy hand is spent
• After siding: No side deck is supplied; no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably into a Clown Crew engine: the archetype core has an estimated 99% chance of at least one card in the opening hand, so the engine is usually live on turn 1 or 2. Its strongest feature is interaction, with 13 hand traps and 26 removal-text cards giving it several answers per game and strong going-second presence. Conversion is credible but untested, since no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-based inferences. The score is capped low because the list is illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against a limit of two, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity of the archetype and the Clown Crew core were not counted as power, and the card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53.5, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-4); No side deck (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 51.8 - 8 = 43.8, then capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 near-certain to be drawn (≈0.99 at least one in opening hand)
• Heavy interaction density: 13 hand traps plus negation and removal text
• Multiple independent Clown Crew starters and recursion routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 copies against a limit of 2
• High off-archetype density (60% of copies) and tech slots reduce hand quality
• No side deck and no recorded boards, so consistency and post-side claims are unverified

Critical choke points

• Dependence on a single Clown Crew Tribute Summon line for board conversion
• Ash Blossom copy count must be reduced to 2 before the deck can be played legally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 55, Extra deck 15, Side 0, all within TCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 copies vs legal limit 2 (Semi-Limited); Archetype core probability ≈ 0.99 from hypergeometric draw table
• Inferred: Starter and brick estimates from hypergeometric draw table and card text; Interaction density from role-hint tags and card text; Going-second strength from hand-trap count
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos; floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No side deck supplied; best-of-3 adaptation unassessable No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN
