Mulcharmy Deck #770609 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker Link chain (Ace = Zero / Kagari / Raye pressure) with Sky Striker Mobilize and Mecha support, converting hand-trap-protected turns into Link pressure; Toolbox-style Spell recursion and Upstart Goblin card flow into the Link engine
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Sky Striker searcher or Mecha starter (about 0.61 for at least one searcher-text card in 5 cards), Link Summon Ace = Zero or Kagari, and hold Ash / Ghost Belle / Droll for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (11 in the Main Deck; about 0.76 for at least one) to negate the opponent's starter, then rebuild the Sky Striker Link board from the Deck
• Recovery: Recycle Spells from the GY through Kagari, Camellia and Shizuku, and re-search Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage to rebuild the Link board after a disruption
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is an Illegal list (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and The Fallen & The Virtuous are each run 3 times against a limit of 2), so it is capped and scored theoretically, not as a normal Final Contextual score. Its Sky Striker and Link core is live enough to open a searcher (about 0.61 for at least one searcher-text card in 5 cards) and reach Link pressure through Ace = Zero, Kagari and Raye, which supports a moderate Structural read. Interaction is the system's real strength: 13 negation-text and 18 removal-text cards, plus 11 hand traps, give it breadth on both the play and draw. The deck is held back by the core-access gap (only 3 of its 7 archetype-core cards are present, so about half of opening hands lack the Mulcharmy core), the 2 Sphere Mode and 3 Dragon that Devours the Dogma slots that have no live path in this list, and the complete absence of a side deck. The score is not an average of card scores, and popularity did not earn points; no meta sample or recorded boards were supplied.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); dependence_on_dead_extra_card (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical only. 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 49.7, then modifiers -10 = 40 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.61 · 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

• Layered interaction: 11 hand traps, 13 negation-text and 18 removal-text cards
• Sky Striker Link engine with 12 Link monsters and multiple recursion routes
• Strong going-second hand-trap density

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom and The Fallen & The Virtuous are over the copy limit
• Only 3 of 7 Mulcharmy core cards are present, so about half of openings lack the core
• 3 dead Dragon that Devours the Dogma slots and 2 Sphere Mode slots
• No Side Deck

Critical choke points

• Legality: the copy-limit violations must be fixed before this list can be played or scored normally
• Sky Striker searcher access (Mobilize - Engage, 2 copies) is the single engine gate

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Two copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, The Fallen & The Virtuous); Side Deck is empty (0 cards); No tournament link and no recorded combos
• Inferred: Starter access probabilities (0.61 searcher, 0.76 hand-trap going second, core-proxy brick 0.49); Interaction density from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates; Dead-slot analysis for the Dragon and Sphere Mode
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• 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, brick/starter rates) no side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
