Adamancipator Deck #768963 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Tech, Tempo
• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Link beatdown from Adamancipator Risen - Tiamite (3300 ATK) and Risen - Dragite (3000 ATK), with Stardust Warrior and Accel Synchro Stardust Dragon as secondary boards; Link pressure from Underworld Goddess of the Closed World and Adamancipator Luminous
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 excavation via Adamancipator Researcher, Seeker or Analyzer (Tuners) to hit a Level 4 or lower Rock, then Synchro into a Risen monster; the going-first hand has a 25 percent chance of holding any single three-copy starter (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Infinite Impermanence to answer the opponent's first summon chain, then convert the surviving board into a Synchro or Link boss (Inferred)
• Recovery: Adamancipator Mates and Crystal - Tiamite recur from the GY to rebuild the Adamancipator searcher and Tuner lines (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

This list would reliably open a Tuner-based excavation start in roughly half of hands (the Adamancipator core group reaches at least one copy in 51 percent of going-first hands by hypergeometric estimate) and convert that into a Synchro or Link board. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: about 15 hand traps and 10 negation effects, with Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre giving a 87 percent chance of at least one hand trap when going second, which lifts going-second strength. Recorded combo data is absent, so ceiling and median are text-only inferences and both are kept well below any single best line. Popularity and archetype usage were not used to add points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score. The deck is scored as Illegal, since Droll and Lock Bird is run at 2 copies against a limit of 1; the structural result is therefore capped and reported as theoretical only, with the banlist modifier applied.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); Illegal deck, theoretical only: 0.80*49 + 0.20*40 = 47.2, minus 12 banlist exposure = 35

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.51 · 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

• Strong Synchro and Link boss top end: Risen Tiamite 3300 ATK, Risen Dragite 3000 ATK, Stardust Warrior 3000 ATK, Underworld Goddess 3000 ATK
• Dense interaction: Solemn Judgment, Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Lightning Storm and Droll give layered answers
• Reasonable Extra Deck spread across Synchro, Link and Xyz with three Tuner-enabling engines

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Droll and Lock Bird at 2 copies against a limit of 1
• Zero side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Low archetype purity (36 percent exact name) with 45 off-archetype copies, which weakens engine coherence
• Many hand traps and conditional cards that become dead without a board, raising brick risk

Critical choke points

• Excavation via Tuners (Researcher, Seeker, Analyzer, Conductor) is the main starter route; losing those to a hand trap stalls the engine
• Synchro summoning into Risen monsters depends on at least one Tuner and a Level 4 or lower Rock in hand or deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Droll and Lock Bird limit violation; Solemn Judgment and S:P Little Knight Limited status; Ash Blossom Semi-Limited at 2 copies; Copy histogram and Extra Deck breakdown from the export
• Observed: Usage stats show the Adamancipator core cards Gallant Granite and I:P Masquerena are absent from this list while present in most decks of the archetype
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities from hypergeometric estimates; Hand-trap effectiveness when going second and the engine conversion described in the narrative; Ceiling and median read from card text because no combos were supplied
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit, since no dated meta sample or tournament link is available
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be evaluated
