Adamancipator Deck #771841 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 37/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rock-based Synchro/Link beatdown: Adamancipator Risen (Dragite/Tiamite/Raptite) and Dragunity Knight - Areadbhair pressure off excavate-driven Synchro summons; Magnet Warrior fusion/Magna Warrior pressure through Magnet Bonding and Conduction Warrior Linear Magnum searches
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tuner or searcher (Adamancipator Researcher, Adamancipator Mates, Magnet Bonding), excavate for a Level 4 or lower Rock, and build a Synchro or Link; hold Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for the first opponent response (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use 16 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru) to disrupt the opponent's first board, then extend through Adamancipator excavation (Inferred)
• Recovery: Adamancipator Mates and Magnet Bonding search from the Deck; Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Adamancipator Crystal - Tiamite recur from GY; no combo-line evidence exists to verify this (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adjust between games in best-of-3 play

Why it scores here

This list reliably opens a starter in most hands: the 20-copy Adamancipator core has about an 88% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate), and the searchers add redundancy. Its strength is interaction: 16 hand traps and about 21 negation-text cards give a strong going-second answer to an opponent's first board, which is where most of the score comes from. Offensive power is real, with 3000-3300 ATK Synchro boss monsters, but no recorded boards exist to confirm how often those are reached. The score was not earned from Adamancipator's popularity: archetype usage stats show only moderate core inclusion, and no tournament share is available. Card scores were not averaged; the system was scored on consistency, interaction and closing power. The list has three structural problems: it runs 3 copies of the Semi-Limited Ash Blossom, it contains a mixed-archetype Magnet/Dragunity/Koa'ki/Mulcharmy core of only 24% exact-name purity, and it has no side deck. Those are why the deck is capped as theoretical rather than a normal legal score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 48.8, then Illegal copy-limit modifier -12 = 37; theoretical/structural-only per legality rule

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (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 (16 hand traps, about 21 negation-text cards) for going second
• Redundant Adamancipator starters and searchers (Researcher, Mates, Seeker, Analyzer) give about 89% core access
• High-ATK Synchro and Link bosses (Risen - Tiamite 3300 ATK, Dragunity Knight - Areadbhair 3300 ATK)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low archetype purity (24.3%) with mixed Magnet, Dragunity, Koa'ki Meiru and Mulcharmy cards
• No recorded combos, guides or tournament data to verify any line

Critical choke points

• A single Ash Blossom copy beyond the limit makes the list illegal until one is removed
• Excavate-based Synchro starts depend on Level 4 or lower Rock monsters in the Deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 59, Extra 15, Side 0 in the OCG size rules (40-60, 0-15, 0-15); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies run, 2 legal (Semi-Limited), violation recorded; Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, S:P Little Knight and Solemn Judgment are Limited and each run 1 copy (legal); Exact-name archetype purity 24.3% (18 of 74 archetype-tagged copies); Usage: 8 of 12 core cards present (66.7%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand access: 0.237 per 3-copy card; 0.885 for the 20-copy core group; Hand-trap going-second estimate: 0.86 for at least one hand trap in 6 cards; Full-brick proxy: 0.115; Midrange primary strategy from Synchro/Link engine plus negation density
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• 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 for going-first/second, matchup or brick/starter rates no side deck registered, so post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
