Mitsurugi Deck #766683 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 11 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual-summon Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi or Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi through Mitsurugi Ritual / Mitsurugi Mirror, using Reptile tributes to put a board-clearing or 3200-ATK threat on the field.; Dark Magician of Destruction and Link/Synchro boards built from Yummy and Mulcharmy draw and recursion engines.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Mitsurugi Spell/Monster (Mitsurugi no Mikoto or Mitsurugi Prayers), convert it into a Reptile tribute base, then ritual-summon a Mitsurugi ritual monster for board control.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence and Droll & Lock Bird to break the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild with Mitsurugi Mirror or Mitsurugi Ritual.
• Recovery: Reptile monsters in the GY (Kusanagi, Saji, Aramasa) can be recycled by Futsu no Mitama and Mitsurugi Great Purification, giving a limited re-entry path after a hand-trap exchange.
• After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck is present in the export.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: it runs six Forbidden cards and five cards above their Limited or Semi-Limited copy caps, so it receives only a structural read and its final score is capped at 25 (theoretical). Structurally, the Mitsurugi ritual engine has real access, with a searcher-text density near 0.87 in an opening hand of five and Pre-Preparation and Mitsurugi Prayers for consistency. Interaction is dense (15 hand traps and negation texts, 0.84 for at least one in a six-card going-second hand), which supports the going-second plan. Floor and median output are not evidenced (no parseable boards), and the 59-card main with 27 singletons and 19 tech slots dilutes the engine. No side deck is present, so post-side adaptability is scored near zero, and the score was not built from archetype popularity or averaged card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 49.6, plus context modifiers -12 = 37.6, then capped to 25 as theoretical/structural-only (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · 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

• Dense interaction: 15 hand traps and negation texts give strong going-second coverage
• Ritual endboards (Murakumo 3200 ATK, Futsu no Mitama 3400 DEF) are real closers
• Searcher density (19) makes the core engine accessible on turn 1

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts and six Forbidden cards: the list cannot be played as built
• 27 singletons across 40 distinct main cards dilute the engine and raise brick risk
• No side deck and no recorded boards, so the floor and post-side are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Mitsurugi Prayers and Pre-Preparation are the only broad searchers, and both are over the limit
• Ritual summons depend on Reptile tributes, so losing the early Reptile board breaks the line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal: 6 Forbidden cards and 5 over-limit cards; Main 59, Extra 15, Side 0; copy histogram 27/7/6; Searcher text count 19; hand-trap count 15
• Inferred: Hypergeometric consistency: searcher p≥1 in hand5 ≈ 0.87, hand-trap p≥1 in hand6 ≈ 0.84; Ritual ceiling and interaction density from card text; Recursion and redundancy from text, not recorded lines
• Provisional: Meta Power null; archetype share and tournament link absent
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no side deck — post-side plan cannot be evaluated no win-rate telemetry — going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
