Atlantis, City of the Sea Dragon Deck #770522 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Umi / Atlantis Link-and-Synchro board built from Link Summons (Levia-Dragoon, Azure Ocean Dragon Lord, Marincess Great Bubble Reef) that converts into large ATK attackers (Mediclius 3000, Adamancipator Risen 3000).; Mulcharmy and Marincess draw and recursion engines that grind card advantage over a long game.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher or Atlantis starter (Advent of Atlantis, Call of Atlantis, Cynet Mining, Marincess Sea Angel), reach the Umi field, and protect with the 7 hand traps and negate-based Spells/Traps.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Accusation and Dominus Impulse to break the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw effects. Going second is the stronger seat on paper given 57% hand-trap coverage in a six-card hand.
• Recovery: Recycle from GY through Warchief of Atlantis, Marincess Coral Anemone and Monster Arms of Atlantis, and rebuild Link monsters from the Extra Deck.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-3 play is not supported by this list.

Why it scores here

The deck would reliably open a searcher or Atlantis starter, with P(at least one searcher in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.80 (Inferred). Its interaction package is dense, with about 20 negation texts, 14 removal texts and 7 hand traps, which gives it real resilience against an opponent's starter (Inferred). Its ceiling depends on Umi Link routes into 2600–3000 ATK attackers, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based estimates only. The score does not come from Atlantis being a popular archetype (no usage stats or tournament data exist), and it does not average card scores. It is capped low because the list is Illegal: three copies each of Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse exceed the Semi-Limited limit of two, so the figure is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (default; no single strategy profile applied because the primary read is Midrange with a Stun secondary and no recorded combos). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-2); no_combo_evidence (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 51.2; modifiers -12 → 39; Illegal cap applied → 35 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.8 · 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 negation and hand-trap package (7 hand traps, about 20 negation texts) gives strong interruption coverage
• Searcher density (about 15 texts, P ≈ 0.80 in a 5-card hand) supports reliable access to starters
• Multiple Link-and-Synchro attackers reach 2600–3000 ATK, which gives real closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts: 3 copies each of two Semi-Limited cards
• Low archetype purity (14%) with about 61 off-archetype copies across five sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Multi-engine sequencing is complex and error-prone

Critical choke points

• The Umi field (Atlantis, Advent, or Call) is needed for most Link routes, so losing it removes most of the engine
• Extra Deck Link monsters need exact material routes; a single disrupted Link Summon can strand the board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse exceed the Semi-Limited limit of 2 (Illegal); Main Deck 56 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards are within the TCG size rules; Side Deck is 0; Card text for the hand-trap, negation and searcher roles (regex-scaffold hints checked against excerpts); Archetype purity 14.1% and Extra Deck composition (12 Link, 2 Synchro, 1 XYZ)
• Observed: Composition counts: 26 distinct Main Deck cards, copy histogram 1×10 / 2×2 / 3×14
• Inferred: Searcher hypergeometric estimate P(≥1 in 5) ≈ 0.80; Hand-trap P(≥1 in going-second 6) ≈ 0.57; Going-second stronger than going-first on the interaction package; Umi Link routes as the primary win condition
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit, with no dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability, with no per-pilot or win-rate data
• 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, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck data
