Tenyi Deck #770929 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Control
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Link boards led by 3000-ATK Synchro bosses (Draco Berserker, Mula Adhara, Chengying) and Monk of the Tenyi Link pressure; Swordsoul Token and Tenyi recursion grinding out card advantage through repeated Special Summons from the GY and banishment
• Turn 1 (going first): Open one of the seven 3-copy starters (Mo Ye, Taia, Longyuan, Emergence, Suruya, Ecclesia, Ashuna), Normal Summon into a tuner, and reach a Synchro boss while holding a hand trap for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird) to blank the opponent's starter, then Special Summon a Tenyi Spirit or Swordsoul starter and rebuild through the GY
• Recovery: Banish Taia, Adhara, Ashuna, Vishuda or Emergence from the GY to restart Special Summon and search lines; Tenyinfinity and Vessel for the Dragon Cycle supply searches
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence; a post-side plan is a gap, not a strength

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably: seven 3-copy starters give about a 98% chance of at least one starter in a 5-card going-first hand (hypergeometric, Inferred), and the monster count (28 of 40) makes monster-less bricks rare. Its strength is breadth of interaction: six hand traps, Ultimate Slayer, Swordsoul Blackout, Tenyinfinity and several Tenyi Spirit removal or bounce effects give about a 65% chance of a hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand, so the deck can answer a board as well as build one. It recovers through GY and banish-based Special Summons and searches, which supports resilience across turns. Its closing power sits in five Synchro bosses with 2800 to 3000 ATK. The score is not an average of card scores and does not reflect popularity: archetype usage stats confirm the list is the standard build, but the score comes from the system's consistency, interaction density and recovery. The evidence has no recorded boards, no tournament data and no side deck, so the combo, meta and post-side dimensions are inferred or provisional and keep confidence at Medium.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 57. Modifiers: Engine conflict: Swordsoul Token blocks Extra Deck Link, XYZ and Fusion summons (-3); Orphan Extra Deck cards (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; 0.80*63.04 + 0.20*57 - 5 = 56.8)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.02 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Seven 3-copy starters give near-certain access to an opening starter (Inferred)
• Six hand traps plus Ultimate Slayer and Blackout give layered interaction for both going first and second (Inferred)
• Five Synchro bosses at 2800 to 3000 ATK provide a closing threat (Verified stats)
• Recursion from GY and banishment supports recovery after disruption (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Optional Swordsoul Token lock conflicts with the Link engine (Inferred from text)
• Garura, Mereologic Aggregator and Denglong are orphan Extra Deck cards (Inferred)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability (Verified: side_count 0)
• No recorded boards or win-rate telemetry; combo output and meta cannot be measured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Tenyi Spirit conditions ('If you control no Effect Monsters') depend on board state and can brick the hand-summon lines (Inferred)
• Single-copy Synchro bosses (Draco, Mula Adhara, Chengying, Qixing) need specific Tuner and non-Tuner material on board (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal under OCG BanList; Droll & Lock Bird (Limited, 1 copy), S:P Little Knight (Limited, 1 copy) and Ash Blossom (Semi-Limited, 2 copies) are within limits; Main 40 cards, Extra 15, Side 0 within OCG size rules; Hypergeometric draw values match the copy histogram; Core usage: 11 of 23 archetype core cards present (47.8%)
• Inferred: Seven 3-copy starters give about 98% access in a going-first 5-card hand; Hand traps give about 65% access in a going-second 6-card hand; Swordsoul Token conflicts with the Link engine; Garura, Aggregator and Denglong are orphan Extra Deck cards
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Post-side plan (D12, no side deck)
• 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 No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be scored
