Adamancipator Deck #772953 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro/Link boss pressure from Adamancipator Risen (Tiamite 3300 ATK, Dragite 3000 ATK) and Nibiru, supported by Rock excavation starters; Dragunity and Visas Starfrost Synchro/Link bodies from the Extra Deck as additional bosses
• Turn 1 (going first): Open an Adamancipator Tuner (Analyzer, Conductor, Seeker or Researcher), excavate for a Level 4 or lower Rock, and build toward a Synchro or Link boss while holding Ash/Infinite Impermanence/Ghost Belle for interaction (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 18 hand-trap and interaction cards from hand to break the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through Rock excavation and Adamancipator searchers (Inferred)
• Recovery: Adamancipator Mates and Crystal - Tiamite recur from the GY and Half Slice of Nickeline searches a Level 4 or lower Rock (Inferred)
• After siding: None: the deck registers no Side Deck, so there is no evidenced post-side plan

Why it scores here

The score is built from how the deck works as a system, not from averaging card scores. Its core Adamancipator Tuners (about 63% chance of at least one in an opening 5) give a plausible but unreliable route to a Rock excavation starter, and the deck does not show a recorded combo ceiling or median. Its strength is interaction: 18 hand-trap or negation cards, with a 91% chance of at least one in a going-second 6, support disruption and going-second play. Weak points are a 57-card main that is not compact, 15 Extra Deck cards spread across six sub-archetypes, Mistake that conflicts with the deck's own searchers, and Koa'ki Meiru Supplier and Guardian with no Iron Core in the list. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage stats are only partially present and there is no tournament or meta data. The illegal copy count of Ash Blossom caps the score low and marks this evaluation as theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: illegal_copy_limit_cap (-24); engine_conflicts (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); illegal-list cap applied after modifiers

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.63 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.37 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered interaction: 18 hand traps and about 16 negation-text cards
• Strong Synchro/Link boss bodies (Tiamite 3300, Dragite 3000, Nibiru 3000)
• Multiple Rock-excavation Tuners give redundant starts

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom run at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Off-archetype bloat: only about 32% exact-name Adamancipator purity; 57 main cards over 24 distinct names
• Engine conflicts: Mistake vs searchers; Koa'ki Meiru Supplier/Guardian without Iron Core
• Tuner-heavy main (20 Tuners) lowers non-Tuner access for Synchro bosses
• No Side Deck

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom at 3 copies is the first legality failure to fix
• Synchro bosses need a Tuner plus non-Tuner, and the non-Tuner count is low
• Excavation starters depend on Rock monsters being in the top 5

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs limit 2; Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within size rules; Archetype purity 31.9%, Adamancipator copies 23; Hypergeometric odds: archetype core P(>=1 in 5) 0.6337; hand-trap P(>=1 in 6) 0.9101
• Observed: Usage stats: 4 of 12 core cards present (33.3%)
• Inferred: Opening consistency and brick rate (estimated from hypergeometric odds and card roles); Interaction quality and going-second strength from card text; Engine conflicts (Mistake, Koa'ki Supplier) from card text
• Provisional: Meta power null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit and tournament reliability; no tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: meta-share and per-pilot records absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, or brick/starter rates No dated metagame sample, so Meta Power stays provisional No Side Deck, so D12 has no post-side evidence No guides attached to the archetype
