Solemn Deck #770614 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes boss monsters (Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon) reached through Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon; Synchro and Link beatsticks (Stardust Sifr, Red Supernova, Lightstorm, Azure-Eyes) once the Extra Deck is accessible
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Normal Summon a Level 1 LIGHT Tuner (Sage, Maiden, Effect Veiler) to reach Blue-Eyes lines while holding hand traps for the opponent's turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Solemn family) to answer the opponent's first engine, then rebuild a Blue-Eyes board
• Recovery: Blue-Eyes White Dragon recursion from the Graveyard via Blue-Eyes Jet Dragon, Mausoleum of White, and Synchro Rumble
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards

Why it scores here

The score reflects the deck as a system, not an average of its card scores: the Blue-Eyes and Eyes of Blue engine (Sage, Maiden, Effect Veiler, Wishes, Roar) gives a searcher-driven route to Blue-Eyes White Dragon, and nine hand traps plus the Solemn trio supply a strong going-second interaction layer. Floor and median output are modest because a single Blue-Eyes White Dragon copy count and only about 58% odds of at least one searcher in a 5-card hand leave real brick and bootstrap risk; the ceiling (Ultimate Spirit, Tyrant, Neo Ultimate) is much higher than what a typical opening produces. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points: the usage core cards (Kozmo family) are almost entirely absent (6.7% present), so the list is not the standard build. The Illegal legality status caps the final contextual score at 35, and the evaluation is theoretical/structural only: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against a Semi-Limited limit of two.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10). Final formula: Illegal list: 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-10) = 43.8, capped at 35 for an Illegal deck; theoretical/structural-only. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.58 · 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 (9 hand traps, 15 negation texts) for going second
• Blue-Eyes boss ceiling accessible through Extra-Deck Blue-Eyes Spirit and Ultimate Spirit
• Extra Deck covers Synchro, Link, Fusion and Xyz routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (3 vs limit 2)
• Low Blue-Eyes White Dragon count (2) for a deck whose boss lines depend on it
• No Side Deck; no post-side plan for best-of-three
• Archetype core from usage statistics (Kozmo family) is absent, so the list does not match the usage baseline

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon (2 copies) is required for most boss lines; P(>=1 in hand5) ~0.24
• Searcher cards (6 copies of searcher text) are required to bootstrap the Tuner engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 within TCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against Semi-Limited limit 2 (over limit); Solemn Judgment and Harpie's Feather Duster are Limited at 1 copy each (within limit); Card text for the 14 role-tagged hand traps and removal cards
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Kozmo core absent (core_present 6.7%)
• Inferred: Searcher access P(>=1 in hand5) ~0.58 and Blue-Eyes White Dragon access ~0.24; Brick risk from 24 Level-0 spell/trap cards and 9 hand traps; Going-second strength from hand-trap density; Closing power from Blue-Eyes bosses and Synchro/Link beatsticks
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: 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) Usage statistics describe the Kozmo core, which this list does not run, so the baseline is weak for this build Deck title is null in the export Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
