Signature move Deck #766845 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Mechanic: Synchro/Xyz/Fusion/Link
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck boss monsters (Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon, Metalzoa X, Metalflame Swordsman) Special Summoned through Max Metalmorph / Metalmorph line, supported by Xyz/Synchro/Fusion extras; Extra-Deck Xyz and Synchro beatsticks once the board is stable behind hand traps
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter that enables Max Metalmorph (Metalmorph trap or Incoming Machine), hold up Ash Blossom / Ghost Belle / Infinite Impermanence to protect the Special Summon line
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (14 in deck, about 0.84 chance of at least one) to break the opponent's first board, then extend through Metal Illusionist and Zoa
• Recovery: Incoming Machine and Metalflame Swordsman recover Metalmorph traps and monsters from Deck/GY; Red-Eyes Metal Claws Dragon and Time Engine re-enable the summon line
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: it runs Triple Tactics Talent, which is Forbidden in TCG, and three copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Pot of Extravagance, and two copies of Droll & Lock Bird, all over their copy limits. Under the rubric it receives only a structural, capped score. Its structure is a Metalmorph and Red-Eyes summon engine (Max Metalmorph and Incoming Machine feeding Metalzoa X, Metalflame Swordsman and Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon) supported by 14 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards, which gives it real interaction density on the system. Consistency is only moderate: each three-copy starter has about a 25% chance to appear in a 5-card opening hand, the 22 distinct main cards are dense in tech and conditional cards, and the Metalmorph line needs a Tribute plus a Metalmorph-named Special Summon. There are no recorded boards, so ceiling and median output are text-only inferences rather than measured values. Popularity of the Signature move archetype and the 4.3% exact-name purity were not credited, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 43, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); no side deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(43) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 41.4; banlist and no-side modifiers (-12) give 29.4; Illegal deck capped to 25 and labelled 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

• Dense hand-trap suite (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll, Infinite Impermanence, Lost Wind, Evenly Matched, Ultimate Slayer, Harpie's Feather Duster)
• Multiple Extra-Deck boss options across Synchro, Xyz, Fusion and Link
• Metalmorph line gives recurring Special Summon and recovery through Incoming Machine and Time Engine

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden card plus four copy-limit violations
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low archetype purity (4.3%) and many tech slots reduce repeatable consistency
• No recorded boards, so the power ceiling cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Max Metalmorph and a Metalmorph Tribute/Special Summon line: losing the trap or the Tribute monster stops the engine
• Droll & Lock Bird and Ash Blossom are limited to fewer copies in this format, so the hand-trap density is overstated for the legal build

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, Forbidden card and four copy-limit violations; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Card text and stats for the Metalmorph, Red-Eyes and Ignister cards; Exact archetype purity 4.3%; Side deck is empty
• Inferred: Engine consistency from hypergeometric estimates; Hand-trap interaction quality from text; Extra Deck access and pilot load
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta); Meta power (null)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null
