Marincess Deck #770523 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · 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: Link Summon large WATER/Atlantis-Daedalus Link monsters (Neo-Daedalus Rage 2900 ATK, Mediclius 3000 ATK, Levia-Dragoon 2600 ATK) and convert the Link board into pressure; Marincess Great Bubble Reef and Coral Triangle recursion loops from the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Searcher-text cards (Cynet Mining, First Penguin, Marincess Blue Tang, Advent of Atlantis) to reach a 2-card Link starter, then Link Summon into the Link engine
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird and Dominus Impulse as hand traps and negate the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw effects
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Marincess Dive, Marincess Coral Anemone and Warchief of Atlantis, which can add or Special Summon WATER monsters back
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck scores on its system rather than on its card list. Fifteen searcher-text cards give a roughly 80 percent chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), so the Link engine is usually reachable on turn 1 or 2. Interaction is dense: seven hand traps, Droll & Lock Bird, Dark Ruler No More, Dominus Impulse and Ash Blossom together give a going-second hand a better than 50 percent chance of holding a hand trap (Inferred), which lifts the interaction and going-second scores. The Link finishers reach 2600 to 3000 ATK and the deck recurs from the GY, which supports its closing power. The score is held down by an Illegal list: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse are each run three times against a limit of two, so the result is a theoretical, structural-only read capped at 35. The archetype is spread across Atlantis, Mulcharmy, Daedalus, Deep Sea, Dominus and Solemn (exact-name purity only 19.7 percent), and there is no side deck, so popularity and archetype share contribute nothing, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with the Toolbox weighting as a secondary read. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12); No side deck (0). Final formula: Illegal deck: 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + Modifiers(-12) = 38, capped at 35 for an Illegal list (theoretical/structural only); Meta provisional

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 searcher text (15 cards) gives a high chance of a live engine on turn 1-2 (Inferred)
• Interaction density across hand traps, negation and removal text on the going-second side
• Link finishers reach 2600-3000 ATK with GY recursion for resilience

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violation on two cards (Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low exact-archetype purity (19.7 percent) spread over several sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• Single Link starter chain for the Link engine
• Semi-Limited copy limit on the two negation cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse each run 3 copies, legal limit 2; Droll & Lock Bird is Limited with 1 copy, which is legal; Main 56 and Extra 15 fall inside the TCG size rules; Side 0; Searcher-text count 15; negation-text 20; removal-text 14; hand-trap 7
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in 5-card opening) = 0.80 (hypergeometric); Going-second P(>=1 hand trap in 6) = 0.57; Link engine reachable T1-T2 and brick risk assessed from text
• Provisional: Meta Power and format-fit (D13) because no dated meta sample exists
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: 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 pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional until a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured
