Shaddoll Deck #770542 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 13 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Shaddoll Fusion monsters (El Shaddoll Winda, Meshahrail, Apkallone) from the Extra Deck, using Shaddoll monsters from hand or field, to reach 2500+ ATK boards that the opponent must answer.; Link Summon and Fusion Summon follow-ups (Shaddoll Construct, S:P Little Knight, Garura) and graveyard recursion through Shaddoll Fusion and Reshef-style Trap recovery.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Shaddoll searcher or fusion spell (Lev Shaddoll Fusion, Shaddoll Fusion, Void Unleashing) and fuse into an El Shaddoll boss; keep Ash Blossom or Effect Veiler up as a Quick Effect response to the opponent's first interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Nibiru, The Great Gallant Bandit) to break the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through Shaddoll Hedgehog, Squamata flips and the Shaddoll Fusion path.
• Recovery: Banish and recur Shaddoll monsters through Naelshaddoll Ariel, Resh Shaddoll Incarnation and Void Unleashing from the GY, and rebuild a Fusion boss from the recovered monsters.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no recorded post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games in a best-of-3.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization are each run three times against a Semi-Limited limit of two, so the deck gets no normal Final Contextual score and is capped at 30 with a structural-only read. Structurally the engine is real: the 20 archetype-core cards give P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.90 (Inferred), and the 9 hand traps and 15 removal-text cards give the deck a strong interaction layer. The deck's Extra Deck of 11 Fusion and 2 Link monsters offers several 2500-2800 ATK closing bosses. Score is not based on Shaddoll being a popular archetype, and no card scores were averaged; the deck's own system (consistency, interaction, and closing power) drives the read. Recorded combo data is absent, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference and heavily discounted, and no Side Deck exists, which caps adaptability at a low value.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 70 percent Midrange / 30 percent Combo (informational only; Structural computed on Midrange profile). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); no_side_deck (-3); unresolved_passcode (-1); illegal_list_cap (-12). Final formula: Uncapped 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + Modifiers(-8) = 42; Illegal legality cap applied, final = 30. Meta Power null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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

• Archetype core is dense (20 copies) and the opening-hand proxy is high
• Nine hand traps and nine negation-text cards give strong Quick Effect interaction
• Several 2500+ ATK Fusion bosses with floodgate-style text in Extra Deck
• Graveyard recursion (Ariel, Resh Shaddoll Incarnation, Void Unleashing) supports a 2-for-1 rebuild

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violations on two Semi-Limited cards
• No Side Deck, so zero post-side adaptability
• Low exact-archetype purity (38.6 percent) and 16 tech slots reduce compactness
• No recorded combo data, so ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler as the sole early interaction layer
• Fusion Summon sequencing depends on Lev Shaddoll Fusion, Shaddoll Fusion and El Shaddoll Fusion being live
• Single copies of key recursion and boss cards (Reeshaddoll Wendikurhu, Anoyatyllis, Shaddoll Beast) limit redundancy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs legal 2; Super Polymerization 3 copies vs legal 2; Main 57 (legal 40-60), Extra 13 (legal 0-15), Side 0; Archetype core 20 copies, P(>=1 in hand of 5) = 0.8959; Fusion boss ATK values from card data (Winda 2200, Apkallone 2500, Meshahrail 2800, Anoyatyllis 2700)
• Observed: Usage stats show Shaddoll Beast, Shaddoll Schism, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Void Unleashing as core in the archetype (100 percent inclusion)
• Inferred: Starter and fusion-route reliability from hypergeometric draws and text; Interaction density from hand-trap and negation-text counts; Brick and resilience estimates from composition
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit (no tournament link)
• 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 1 passcode (20366274) in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card and was counted as main no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates); those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null, so the name field is unset
