Abyss- Deck #770500 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Tempo
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level-7 Xyz/Synchro/Link pressure from Abyss-, Mermail and Atlantean engine (Poseidra Abyss, Abysstrite, Mermail Abyssgaios) (Inferred); Hand-trap and trap disruption (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle, Evenly Matched) that buys time for the board (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Searcher chain through Neptabyss, Mermail Abyssteus and Mermail Abysspike into a Level-7 summon (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 15 hand-trap and trap-based interaction cards to break the opponent's first board, then extend into Poseidra or Abysstrite (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY through WATER-monster effects (Abyssrhine, Atlantean Dragoons, Deep Sea Minstrel) and searchers that refill the hand (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; this is a major structural gap

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system on its Midrange profile: the Abyss-, Mermail and Atlantean searchers give a probable starter in the opening hand (P(at least one searcher in 5) about 0.78, Inferred), and the 15 hand-trap and trap cards give it real interruption density (P(at least one hand trap in 6 going second) about 0.84, Inferred). Its ceiling and median output are not measured because no recorded boards exist, so the combo dimensions rest on text reads only. The deck is capped low because it is Illegal: it runs 3 Ash Blossom and 3 Dominus Impulse where the limit is 2, 2 Droll & Lock Bird where the limit is 1, and Called by the Grave and Trishula, which are Forbidden. The deck has no side deck and a 59-card main with only 27 distinct cards, which pulls down efficiency and adaptability. Popularity was not a factor, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary (not a true blend; Midrange weights applied). Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); no Side Deck (-3); no_combo_evidence (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: uncapped 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = about 52, then capped to 20 as theoretical/structural-only because the deck is Illegal; Meta Power is provisional (null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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 searcher and hand-trap package (15 each by text) gives a probable starter and early interaction
• Extra Deck of 15 covers Xyz, Synchro and Link with Level-7 closers
• Interaction density is high across negation and removal text

Weaknesses

• Illegal in its format: 5 cards over the copy limit, 2 of them Forbidden
• No side deck at all, so no post-side adaptation
• Low archetype purity (10.8%) and 27 distinct main cards point to a loose, non-coherent engine
• No combo evidence, so ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Searcher chain depends on a small set of Atlantean and Mermail starters
• Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave, Trishula) must be removed before this list is legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck size 59 main and 15 extra, within format limits; Five over-limit cards and two Forbidden cards per the BanList field; Extra Deck breakdown: 5 Xyz, 5 Synchro, 5 Link; Archetype exact-name purity 10.8%
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.78 via searcher text (hypergeometric); Hand-trap access about 0.84 going second; Midrange and Stun strategy classification from card text and composition; Dimension scores D1 to D9 and D11 to D14 from text and structure
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit D13
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no archetype usage statistics; core and meta-standard comparison unavailable 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 without a dated metagame sample no side deck registered
