Exchange of the Spirit Deck #770556 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link Summons of Destiny HERO and Elemental HERO monsters into large Fusion boards (Destiny HERO - Dusktopia, Dystopia, Dominance class), with Destiny HERO recursion from the GY; Destiny HERO - Destro-Dogma inflicting 2000 damage in the Standby Phase, and Masked HERO Dark Law pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Fusion Destiny, Polymerization, Masked HERO Fountain or Destiny HERO Denier/Dark Angel searchers, then Fusion Summon into a Destiny HERO boss. Plan depends on the copy-limit fix because three copies of Super Polymerization and Dominus Impulse over-run the limit.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Evenly Matched for interaction, then rebuild through Destiny HERO searchers and Fusion Destiny. The second-player plan relies on hand-trap density (12 hand traps).
• Recovery: Recover from the GY with Destiny HERO monsters (Denier, Dark Angel, Dreadnought Servant, Destiny HERO - Malicious) and Masked HERO Furnace/Fountain search effects. Recovery is untested in this evidence.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in the evidence. Structural only.

Why it scores here

This deck is Illegal in the TCG format because three copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Dominus Impulse and Super Polymerization exceed their Semi-Limited limit of two, so its score is capped and the evaluation is theoretical and structural only. Its 72% chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred) and 12 hand traps give it a plausible engine and interaction shell. The score does not reflect popularity, since no tournament or meta-share data is linked, and it is not an average of the individual card scores. No combos were supplied, so the floor, median and ceiling of the combo output cannot be measured, and the 70 off-archetype copies in a 'Exchange of the Spirit' list are a coherence concern rather than a strength.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (not computed as a percentage). Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (copy-limit violations) (-8). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical only. 0.80*Structural(44) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + ContextModifiers(-8) = 35.2, capped to 25 because the deck fails copy limits. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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 hand-trap and negation suite (12 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards)
• Multiple Destiny HERO searchers and GY recursion routes
• Strong Fusion and Link Extra Deck coverage (11 Fusion, 4 Link)

Weaknesses

• Illegal under TCG copy limits (three Semi-Limited cards at 3 copies)
• No side deck (side_count = 0)
• Low exact-archetype purity (0%) and 70 off-archetype copies; engine coherence depends on sub-archetype overlap
• No combo evidence, so consistency and output claims are inferred only

Critical choke points

• Destiny HERO monster access in hand, which underpins most Fusion lines
• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Dominus Impulse and Super Polymerization copy count (illegal as built)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Dominus Impulse and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Main deck 55 and Extra deck 15 are within TCG size rules; side deck is 0; Extra Deck breakdown: 11 Fusion, 4 Link; Archetype-core group has 12 copies and a 0.7233 probability of at least one in a 5-card opening hand
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency (Destiny HERO engine, hand traps, searchers) from the hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density and hand-trap effectiveness from card text; Structural dimension scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and 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 are absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) no side deck registered (side_count 0) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
