Adamancipator Deck #768242 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ashtra Synchro boss (Ashtraja Susanoo / Ashtraya Mikumari-no-Mikoto) summoned off Ashtra monster and trap-to-Normal-Monster Synchro enablers; Synchro beaters from the Extra Deck (Storm-Bane Dragon Destorbim, Red Dragon Archfiend, Ruddy Rose Dragon) once a Tuner is available
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a hand with an Ashtra Special Summon route (Yoa, Mikumari, Akasuna, Kuzuha) or an Ashtra trap that becomes a Tuner, then Synchro into an Ashtra boss while holding Ash Blossom or Droll for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle or Solemn Judgment to stop the opponent's starter, then use a face-down Ashtra trap or Ashtra monster to rebuild a Synchro board
• Recovery: Ashtrashen and Ashtra's Domain/Web/Howl recycle Ashtra monsters from the GY, and Ashtraja Susanoo's End Phase effect rebuilds up to 2 Ashtra cards
• After siding: Side deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan and no adjustment for the over-limit Ash Blossom or the Limited cards

Why it scores here

This OCG list runs a real Ashtra engine: 30 Ashtra-named copies, Ashtra trap cards that Special Summon as Tuners, and Ashtraja Susanoo and Ashtraya Mikumari-no-Mikoto as Extra Deck bosses. Its interaction suite (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle, Droll and Solemn) gives it a strong end-board and a credible going-second plan, so it scores on consistency and interaction across the whole system. The score does not come from Adamancipator being a popular archetype, since the deck runs no Adamancipator core cards and the usage stats show only 2 of 11 core cards present. The score is also not an average of card scores. It is capped because the list is illegal (3 copies of Ash Blossom against a limit of 2) and has no side deck and no recorded boards, so the figure is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure_over_limit (-10); illegal_deck_cap (-10). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then Illegal cap applied (theoretical/structural only): 0.80*56 + 0.20*50 = 54.8; -10 over-limit modifier; -10 illegal cap = 35

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

• Ashtra engine has multiple Special Summon routes and Tuner-enabling traps
• Dense interaction: 8 hand traps, 12 negation texts and 15 removal texts
• Recursion through Ashtrashen and Ashtra Synchro effects
• Extra Deck has strong Synchro bosses

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (3 vs 2)
• Archetype purity is low: 0% exact-name purity, with 70 off-archetype copies
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• No recorded combo boards to validate the ceiling or median

Critical choke points

• Ashtra monster or trap access, because most engine routes depend on a face-down card or an Ashtra monster in hand or on the field
• Ash Blossom over-limit copies, which are an illegal build issue rather than a play issue

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts are within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the Semi-Limited limit (3 vs 2); Card types, text role tags and Extra Deck breakdown (14 Synchro, 1 Fusion); Usage stats: 2 of 11 core cards present (18.2%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access from hypergeometric draw tables; Interaction quality from text role tags; Engine cohesion across the Ashtra family
• Provisional: Format fit and matchup coverage (no dated meta); Median output and ceiling (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry, so going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty, so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed
