Adamancipator Deck #768323 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Link boards (Adamancipator Risen - Dragite / Tiamite, Dragunity Knight - Areadbhair) built from excavate-based Level 4 or lower Rock monster summons; Extra Deck breadth via Gallant Granite, Coral Dragon and Stardust Dragon - Victim Sanctuary; no recorded combo boards to confirm
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a 1-card Tuner (Adamancipator Seeker, Researcher, Analyzer or Conductor), excavate with Main Phase effect into a Level 4 or lower Rock, and reach a Synchro summon while holding a hand trap for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold 1–2 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, Nibiru) against the opponent's starter, then rebuild from excavate
• Recovery: Rebuild from the Graveyard through Adamancipator Crystal - Tiamite, Adamancipator Signs and Adamancipator Mates searches, plus Tuner recursion; hand traps that are discarded to negate also remain as searchable resources
• After siding: No side deck in this list, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its opening consistency is moderate: three copies of several 1-card Tuner starters give about a 25% chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand, and the 7-copy archetype core gives about 50% for one core card in hand. Interaction is the strongest area, with 16 hand traps and negate or removal text spread across Main Deck and Extra Deck, so the list has many answers to a going-second board. Conversion and median output cannot be verified because the export contains no parseable combo boards, and Adamancipator purity is only about 34% of the Main Deck. The illegal copy count of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring caps the score, and popularity and archetype share did not earn any points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49.3, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Copy-limit violation (illegal list) (-12); No combo evidence (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: Final = 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*49.3 + 0.20*40 - 15 ≈ 32 (illegal copy-limit cap applied via modifiers)

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, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Nibiru) gives strong going-second interaction
• Several independent Tuner starters and excavate effects give route redundancy
• Extra Deck covers Synchro, Link and Xyz boss threats

Weaknesses

• Copy-limit violation makes the list illegal as built
• Only about 34% of the Main Deck is exact Adamancipator archetype, so the engine is diluted by off-archetype cards
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Hand-trap-heavy construction risks dead cards on going first

Critical choke points

• Excavate-based Synchro engine depends on a Level 4 or lower Rock being in the Deck and on Tuner availability
• Ash Blossom's illegal third copy must be removed before the list is playable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against OCG limit 2; Main/Extra/Side counts (56/15/0) fall within the OCG size rules for Main and Extra; Side is 0 and within the 0–15 range; Exact archetype purity 33.8%; Extra Deck is 10 Synchro, 2 Xyz, 3 Link; Usage statistics show 3 of 11 core cards present (27.3%)
• Inferred: Starter access is about 25% for a 3-copy card in 5 cards, and about 50% for at least one of 7 archetype core copies; Hand-trap going-second probability is about 0.88; Interaction breadth rated high from text roles (16 hand traps, negation text); Dead-hand risk on going first from hand-trap density
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit are unknown without a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry: 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 performance cannot be assessed
