Adventurer Token Deck #770092 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Phantom Knights Xyz/Link pressure (Break Sword, Malevolent Scythe, Rusty Bardiche) backed by Adventurer Token board presence and Xyz dragons from the Extra Deck; Dark Requiem / Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragons (3000 ATK) and Super Starslayer TY-PHON as high-ATK closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Phantom Knights searcher or Rite of Aramesir, summon an Adventurer Token, then Xyz or Link into a board with hand traps held up for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2-3 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird) against the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Phantom Knights recursion from the GY
• Recovery: Phantom Knights monsters and Spell/Trap recursion from the GY (Fog Blade, Umbrage Veil, Requiem) plus Fateful Adventure searches to refill the Extra Deck route
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck's strongest core is the Phantom Knights package: 7 archetype copies give about a 64% chance of at least one in an opening 5-card hand, and their GY recursion keeps lines alive after an interruption. Ten hand traps (about 85% to hold at least one when going second) give it a real going-second plan against a board. Its Extra Deck supplies high-ATK Xyz closers (3000 ATK Dragons, 2900 ATK TY-PHON) that convert advantage into pressure. The Adventurer Token half is thin: only 1 Fateful Adventure, 2 Rite of Aramesir and 2 Water Enchantress, so the engine often lacks its token, which lowers consistency and the median output. Popularity and usage data only confirm the list is real; they did not earn points. The score was built from consistency, median output, and interaction on the system, not by averaging card scores. The deck is Illegal (1 copy of the Forbidden Called by the Grave), so the score is capped and structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Stun secondary, approximate 80/20 (Midrange weights used for the structural sum). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 50.2, then -12 modifiers = 38.2, then capped at 30 by the Illegal-deck rule

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.64 · 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

• Phantom Knights core (7 copies) is about a 64% opener and recurs from the GY
• 10 hand traps give a strong going-second plan (about 85% to hold one)
• High-ATK Xyz closers in the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Called by the Grave (Forbidden) is run
• Adventurer Token engine is thin (5 starter copies) and often unlit
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• No combo data, so the ceiling and median are inferred

Critical choke points

• The Adventurer Token must be on field for Water Enchantress, Illegal Knight and Wandering Gryphon Rider to work
• Single Forbidden card makes the list illegal until removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Called by the Grave is Forbidden in OCG and run 1 copy, making the list Illegal; Main 40 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side 0 is within 0-15; Droll & Lock Bird and S:P Little Knight are Limited at 1 copy; Ash Blossom is Semi-Limited at 2 copies, all legal; No side deck is run
• Observed: Archetype usage: Wandering Gryphon Rider, Fateful Adventure, Dracoback at 83% inclusion; Foolish Burial at 67% is not run
• Inferred: Phantom Knights core opens about 64% of the time in hand 5; Hand traps hold at least one in hand 6 about 85% of the time going second; Adventurer Token engine is thin and often unlit
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Format fit (D13) is a placeholder: no tournament link
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent no win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck, so post-side performance is unmeasurable
