Mulcharmy Deck #770565 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
• 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 Summon Level 8 Fusion boss monsters (Dracotail Arthalion, Albion, Titaniklad, Mirrorjade) from the Extra Deck via Fusion starters (Dracotail Faimena, Dracotail Pan, Dracotail Urgula, Ketu/Rahu Dracotail, Branded Fusion); Mulcharmy board presence and card advantage from Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Dracotail recursion, with Fallen of Albaz-based Fusion pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening starter (Fuwalos, Ecclesia, Lukias or Dracotail monster) searches or recurs a Dracotail/Branded engine piece, then a Fusion Summon into a 3000 ATK boss, with Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler/Droll & Lock Bird held up as hand traps (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with hand traps (13 in deck) to interrupt the opponent's starter, then a Fusion or Synchro boss through Dragon's Mind, Forbidden Droplet or Infinite Impermanence as the disruption layer (Inferred)
• Recovery: Dracotail recursion from the GY and banish zone via Dracotail Flame, Dracotail Horn and Dracotail Sting, which place a Dracotail card on the Deck bottom and draw (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan (verified)

Why it scores here

This list cannot earn a normal score because three cards exceed their TCG copy limits (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, The Fallen & The Virtuous and Super Polymerization are each run 3 times against 2 legal copies), so the result is a theoretical, structural-only read capped at 40. Structurally the deck is a Fusion engine with a strong interaction suite: 13 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards give it a high going-second disruption density, and 12 searcher-text cards give about a 72% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). The Extra Deck supplies Level 8 Fusion bosses at 3000 ATK, which carries the closing power. The score does not come from Mulcharmy being a popular archetype, and it is not an average of card scores. Consistency is held back by the 23 Level-0 spells and traps, the Limited and Semi-Limited density, and the absence of any recorded combo boards or a side deck.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-8); Banlist exposure (-4). Final formula: Structural 56 with Combo weights; Final = 0.80*56 + 0.20*45 = 53.8, then context modifiers -12 (illegal copy limits and Limited/Semi-Limited exposure) = 41.8, then illegal cap to 40 (theoretical and structural only, 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

• 13 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards give high interaction density, especially going second
• Fusion boss density (12 Fusion, including 3000 ATK Level 8 bosses) gives real closing power
• Dracotail recursion (Flame, Horn, Sting) gives recovery after a single disruption

Weaknesses

• Three cards are over the TCG copy limit, so the list is illegal as built
• Heavy Limited and Semi-Limited dependence (Branded Fusion, Dracotail Mululu, Lukias, Arthalion) makes the engine fragile to list changes
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Mulcharmy core is only 3 copies; the archetype identity is weak against a Dracotail/Branded/Albaz multi-archetype build

Critical choke points

• Branded Fusion and Dracotail Mululu are single-copy Limited cards gating the Fusion starts
• Fallen of Albaz is the required material for most Branded and Albaz Fusion bosses; one copy gates several lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: 3 copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, The Fallen & The Virtuous, Super Polymerization); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side is 0; Composition counts and Extra Deck breakdown; Usage stats: Mulcharmy Fuwalos 97%, Ash Blossom 90%, Droll & Lock Bird 90% inclusion
• Inferred: Starter probability P(at least one searcher in 5) = 0.72; Going-second hand-trap probability 0.82; Interaction density and going-second strength from card text; Recovery plan from Dracotail recursion text
• Provisional: Median and floor output (no recorded boards); Matchup and format fit (no tournament or meta sample); Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown no side deck: post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
