Nouvelles Deck #770535 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link/Ritual/Pendulum
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 41 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Clown Crew summon-and-pressure engine: Ritual/Tribute summons into Clown Crew Biancaviso and Clown Crew Diabolo, with Nerva and Super Starslayer TY-PHON as Extra Deck boards (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards); Mulcharmy draw pressure via Fuwalos and Purulia when the controller holds no cards (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Clown Crew Rehearsal or Concours de Cuisine to reach a Clown Crew Ritual/Tribute line, backed by Mystical Space Typhoon and Clown Crew Malabarisme (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Nibiru and Droll & Lock Bird to stop the opponent's first summon chain, then convert with Clown Crew Biancaviso (Inferred)
• Recovery: Searchers (12 copies of searcher-text cards) and Clown Crew GY recursion via Clown Crew New Face and Soiree Operations (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The list is illegal: three Ash Blossom and three Super Polymerization exceed the TCG Semi-Limited limit of two, so the deck is capped at 30 and scored as a theoretical, structural-only read. Structurally, the Clown Crew core (about 26 Clown Crew-tagged main-deck copies) has a strong draw chance: the archetype-core group is about 99.7% likely to show one in the opening five, and 84% of the deck's searcher-text cards show at least one in five cards (Inferred). Interaction density is high with 7 hand-trap-tagged cards and a 70% chance of one in a going-second six-card hand, but the lack of recorded boards means the combo ceiling and median output are text-only inference and scored conservatively. The score comes from consistency, interaction and Extra Deck coverage on the system, not from Nouvelles being an archetype label (its exact-name purity is 1.8%) and not from averaging the individual card scores. No side deck, no tournament link and no dated meta sample exist, so Meta Power stays null and matchup fit is provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal-list cap (0). Final formula: Illegal list: uncapped 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 51, then modifiers (-12) and the illegal-deck cap applied; the normal Final Contextual score is withheld and 30 is the capped theoretical value (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · 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

• Clown Crew core is redundant: multiple starters and searchers reach the same Ritual/Tribute line
• Three hand-trap families plus Mystical Space Typhoon give layered interaction
• Extra Deck spans Link, Fusion, Xyz and Synchro, giving board options after an interruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed the Semi-Limited limit of 2
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are text-only inference
• Deck label (Nouvelles) does not match its contents (about 26 Clown Crew copies, 1.8% exact-name purity)

Critical choke points

• Summon-restriction clauses on Clown Crew monsters (Biancaviso and Diabolo) make the Tribute line sensitive to one missing Ritual, Fusion or Pendulum monster
• Heavy reliance on Super Polymerization for Fusion access with only 2 legal copies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Main 41 (within 40-60), Extra 15 (within 0-15), Side 0 (within 0-15); Limited cards Droll & Lock Bird and Linkuriboh are each run at 1 copy, which is legal; Archetype-core and searcher-text draw probabilities computed from the resolved main deck
• Observed: Archetype usage shows Clown Crew Biancaviso, Finale and Matinee Operatics at 100% inclusion (archetype-level, not this deck's results)
• Inferred: Clown Crew Tribute/Ritual line as the primary engine, from card text; Hand-trap and interaction density credit, from text flags and probabilities; Structural scores for D1-D11 and D14
• Provisional: Matchup fit (D13) and Meta Power, which need a dated metagame sample; Going-second and post-side assessments, since no side deck or win telemetry exists
• 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 side deck registered (side_count 0): post-side plan and D12 are unevidenced no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null and the archetype label does not match the card mix
