Adamancipator Deck #765724 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Link boards built from the Adamancipator excavate loop into 3000+ ATK Risen and Shatranga-class bosses; Angelechy Continuous Spell chains that banish the opponent's monsters and fuel Synchro Summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Adamancipator Seeker, Analyzer or Researcher hand summons, excavate a Level 4 or lower Rock monster, then build a Synchro into a Risen boss while holding Ash Blossom and Droll for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment and Forbidden Droplet to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Mates and Signs recursion
• Recovery: Mates and Signs return Rock monsters and cards from the GY to hand or Deck, and Crystal and Risen effects recycle Synchro material to rebuild the board
• After siding: Not evaluable: the export has zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan is recorded

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: the 35-copy Adamancipator core gives about a 99% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric), and 13 searcher-text cards add redundancy. Its engine converts through Synchro and Link summons into 3000+ ATK bosses, but no recorded boards exist, so the conversion ceiling and median output are text-based inferences rather than measured results. Interaction is dense for the format (5 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards, 7 removal-text cards), which lifts the endboard and going-second scores. The deck is illegal as exported because it runs three copies of the Semi-Limited Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring, so the score is capped low and presented as structural only. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible, but they did not earn points, and the score was built from system-level consistency, interaction and closing power rather than by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Stun secondary, scored under the Midrange profile weights (no separate Stun blend applied). Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (over copy limit) (-6); banlist exposure (Limited cards) (-2); no side deck (0); illegal cap (-15). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 58.4 before modifiers; the modifiers bring it to 50; the Illegal cap then sets the final score to 35 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (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 dense (35 copies), so most opening hands contain a live starter
• Strong interaction suite: hand traps, negation text and removal text across both turns
• Synchro and Link access is coherent, and recursion through Mates and Signs supports recovery

Weaknesses

• Illegal as exported: 3 copies of the Semi-Limited Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring
• Zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side adaptability
• Only 33% exact-name archetype purity; the engine is spread across several sub-archetypes
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring copy count (3 against a limit of 2)
• Synchro material for the Risen and Shatranga bosses depends on a small number of Level 4 and Level 2 Tuners

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0 counts and the Main and Extra breakdowns; Card text and banlist status for each listed card
• Observed: Archetype usage: the core cards are standard in the archetype (usage_statistics, inclusion 100%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability of about 0.99 from the hypergeometric calculation; Brick and conflict risk derived from the copy histogram and Tuner count; Ceiling and interaction quality read from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates from text and probability
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit, which require a dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability, which lacks telemetry
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first, going-second, matchup and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown no Side Deck in the export, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
