Artmage Deck #766072 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion/Link/Synchro Power Patron boss (Nerva, Varudras, Mediclius, Junora) enabled by Artmage/Medius/Mulcharmy starters (structural read only; no combos recorded); Artmage Fusion beatdown via Artmage Non-Finito / Artmage Diactorus with Artmage Graflare protection
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening starters (Medius the Pure, Nervedo, Mulcharmy Fuwalos/Purulia, Pendulum Treasure, Artmage Vandalism) search and summon into Extra Deck Fusion/Link (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru) and Solemn/Called by the Grave interaction to break the opponent's first board, then the Power Patron engine (Inferred)
• Recovery: Artmage Litera / Finmel and Theorealize Past Lull rebuild from the GY via Medius and Power Patron recursion (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck present, so no post-side plan exists (Verified)

Why it scores here

This list is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its engine is reasonably accessible: the Medius/Artmage/Mulcharmy starters and the searcher text give roughly a 0.91 chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred from the hypergeometric table). Its interaction suite (Ash Blossom, Droll, Solemn Judgment and Warning, Called by the Grave, Ghost Ogre) is dense and gives the deck a credible going-second plan. Conversion is not measured: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. The Extra Deck is well used for a 15-card slot, with Power Patron Link and Fusion bosses. The list is Illegal under the TCG copy limit (three copies of the Semi-Limited Ash Blossom, legal maximum two), so it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score and is capped at 20 as a theoretical structural read. Popularity was not credited: the archetype core is present, but exact-name purity is only 20.3 percent and no tournament data exists.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: copy_limit_violation (-12); no_dated_meta_sample (0). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: unconstrained 0.80*Structural(51)+0.20*TR(40)=48.8; capped to 20 because the deck exceeds the copy limit. Structural-only, theoretical read. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.06 (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 (9 hand traps, 17 negation hints)
• Multiple searchers and GY recursion routes for redundancy
• Real Extra Deck boss package (Power Patron Link/Fusion)

Weaknesses

• Illegal under the TCG copy limit (Ash Blossom x3 vs legal 2)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low exact-name archetype purity (20.3%) makes engine coherence uncertain
• No recorded boards, so conversion cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom copy count must be reduced to 2 before the list is playable in TCG
• Medius the Pure as the primary starter for both Fusion and recursion routes

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited); 59 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side counts; Restricted cards Limited/Semi-Limited within legal copy caps except Ash Blossom
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.94 (hypergeometric proxy); Going-second hand-trap plan; Recursion-based recovery
• Provisional: Meta Power; Matchup fit (no dated meta)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) deck title is null no Side Deck, so post-side plans are unevaluable
