Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a large HERO boss (Elemental HERO Shining Neos Wingman 3100 ATK, Contrast HERO Chaos 3000 ATK, Elemental HERO Sunrise 2500 ATK) through Polymerization, Mask Change or Fusion Destiny lines.; Link Summon boards (Xtra HERO Infernal Devicer, Xtra HERO Wonder Driver, Xtra HERO Cross Crusader) that recover HERO monsters and re-search Polymerization or Fusion spells.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a searcher (Miracle Ejector, Masked HERO Dusk Crow, Vision HERO Vyon, Masked HERO Furnace, Elemental HERO Stratos), then reach a Polymerization or Mask Change into a Fusion Monster from the Extra Deck.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird, Forbidden Droplet or Forbidden Crown to disrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild with Super Polymerization or Fusion Destiny and a Fusion Summon.
• Recovery: Recover HERO monsters from the GY with Vision HERO Vyon, Elemental HERO Shadow Mist and Destiny HERO - Denier, then re-search Polymerization through Xtra HERO Wonder Driver or Infernal Devicer.
• After siding: None. The deck runs no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan to evaluate.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: 19 searcher-text cards give about a 92% chance of at least one searcher in the opening five (Inferred, hypergeometric), so the engine is usually live on turn 1. It converts that plan into large Fusion boards (2500 to 3100 ATK bosses) and keeps some recursion through Vyon, Shadow Mist and the Xtra HERO Links. Interaction is thin and mostly single-copy (Droll & Lock Bird, one Forbidden Droplet/Crown package, Dark Law's banish), so it survives disruption only moderately and going second is weaker. The score comes from the system: engine consistency, median output and endboard interaction, not from Heroic being a popular archetype (usage stats only confirm the list is real) and not from averaging card scores. The missing Side Deck and the 65 off-archetype copies (Mulcharmy, Kuriboh, Forbidden) pull the score down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: No side deck / weak post-side plan (-4); Off-archetype dilution (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*61 + 0.20*50 - 6 = 52.8, rounded to 53. Structural uses the Midrange profile with D13 dropped and weights renormalized over 95.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Engine accessibility: 19 searcher-text cards give about a 92% chance of a searcher in the opening five (Inferred).
• Extra Deck coverage: 11 Fusion and 4 Link with 2 Chaos, 2 Dark Law and 2 Cross Crusader gives varied boards (Verified).
• Closing power: Shining Neos Wingman 3100, Chaos 3000 and Sunrise 2500 can overwhelm a midrange board (Inferred).

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan (Verified).
• Off-archetype copies (65, including Mulcharmy 3, Kuriboh 3, Forbidden 5) dilute the HERO engine (Verified).
• Thin going-second interaction: only one Droll & Lock Bird and one Forbidden Droplet/Crown package (Verified card list).

Critical choke points

• Polymerization or Mask Change access: only 2 copies each, so the Fusion line can stall when both are absent from the opening (Inferred).
• Single Droll & Lock Bird and Foolish Burial (Limited, 1 copy each) carry the hand-trap and tech role with no backup (Verified).

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 50 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; all restricted cards within legal copies (Droll 1/1 Limited, Foolish Burial 1/1 Limited, Super Polymerization 1/2 Semi-Limited).; Composition: 65 off-archetype copies, 0% exact-name purity, 11 Fusion and 4 Link Extra Deck cards.; Usage: 9 of 15 core cards present (60%); Reinforcement of the Army and Destroyer Phoenix Enforcer missing.
• Inferred: Opening-hand searcher probability ~0.92 and Polymerization access 0.19 for 2 copies (hypergeometric).; Dimension scores D1 through D14 except D12 are semantic reads from card text and composition.; Brick proxy ~0.08 from the core-group estimate.
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample.; Matchup and format fit (D13) is excluded from Structural; no tournament context.
• 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 are absent. No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup, starter or brick rates. Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample. No Side Deck, so the post-side plan cannot be evaluated.
