Adamancipator Deck #771510 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ashtra and Azamina Synchro/Fusion boards (Ashtraja Susanoo, Akasuna, Ashtraya Mikumari-no-Mikoto) built through Ashtra's face-down Special Summon route; Diabellstar the Black Witch and Azamina Mu Rcielago pressure, with Dark Paladin and Dark Magician of Destruction as extra-deck follow-up
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Deception of the Sinful Spoils or Ashtrashen, set a face-down card, Special Summon an Ashtra monster by returning that card, then Synchro Summon. Keep Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre or Solemn in hand for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 9 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence, Solemn Warning and Judgment) to break the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Ashtra's GY and banished recursion
• Recovery: Ashtra monsters recur from GY and banishment through Ashtraja Susanoo, Ashtraya Mikumari-no-Mikoto and Ashtrashen; Dominus Impulse and Songs of the Dominators trade hand traps for Trap recursion
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has 0 side deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in OCG: four Forbidden cards (Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Azamina Ilia Silvia, Baronne de Fleur, Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye) are run at 1 copy each, so it is capped and scored as structural-only. Structurally, the deck opens a functional Ashtra plan often enough: 17 searcher-text cards and about 0.85 chance of at least one searcher in an opening hand of 5 (Inferred). Its interaction is the strongest part, with 9 hand traps, 20 negation-text cards, and 17 removal-text cards, which supports the interaction and going-second dimensions. Its weaknesses are a low archetype purity (1.4% exact Adamancipator names; the list is a mix of Ashtra, Azamina, Sinful Spoils, Diabellstar, Solemn and others) and zero side deck cards, which leave no post-side plan. The score does not come from Adamancipator's popularity or from averaging card scores; no combos, usage stats, or tournament data were supplied, so the floor and median are text-based estimates only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun flavour from hand-trap density (no secondary weight applied). Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal_cap (0); no Side Deck (0). Final formula: Illegal list: no normal Final. Structural 50 -> 0.80*50 + 0.20*35 = 47 before modifiers; banlist modifier -12 gives 35; illegal cap sets the final score to 20 (structural-only, theoretical)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · 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

• Nine hand traps and 20 negation-text cards give interaction on both turns
• 17 searcher-text cards give access to the engine
• Ashtra recursion from GY and banish lets the deck rebuild after disruption
• High-ATK Synchro finishers (Ashtraja Susanoo 3300, Akasuna 3000)

Weaknesses

• Four Forbidden cards make the list illegal
• Exact archetype purity is 1.4%; the list mixes several sub-engines
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• No combo data, so the floor and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Ashtra starter access: the face-down return route needs a face-down card, which a single disruption can remove
• Extra Deck access: 15 Extra slots with 4 Forbidden cards, so the legal Extra is thinner than the list suggests

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 4 Forbidden cards at 1 copy each (over copy limit); Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 (within OCG size rules); Archetype purity 1.4%; 9 Synchro and 6 Fusion in the Extra Deck; Searcher-text 17, negation-text 20, removal-text 17, hand traps 9
• Inferred: At least one searcher in an opening 5 is about 0.85; Hand-trap probability at 6 going second is about 0.67; Ashtra engine access and recursion give a reasonable rebuild; Interaction density rates the deck well for disruption
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample or tournament link); Going-first and going-second splits (no win-rate telemetry)
• Data gaps: Illegal list: the four Forbidden cards must be removed before a normal score can be given No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-based inference only No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No usage-stat groups match this list (1 of 12 core cards present) No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first and going-second are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
