FIre Formation Deck #773476 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Midrange
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Lunalight Fusion Dancers (Leo, Liger, Perfume, Cat, Panther, Sabre) Fusion Summoned off Lunalight starters, finishing with 2800-3800 ATK boards; Outer Entity Nyarla and Brotherhood of the Fire Fist - Tiger King Xyz boards, with Fire Formation - Tenki pumping Beast-Warriors
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Lunalight starter (Masquerade, Gold Leo, Black Sheep, Silver Hound, Kaleido Chick, Scarlet Tiger, Yellow Marten), search Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion, and Fusion Summon a Dancer; hold Ash, Droll, Ghost Ogre and Ghost Belle as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold 12 hand traps (76% chance of at least one), negate or destroy the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Lunalight GY recursion into a Dancer
• Recovery: Recover from the Lunalight graveyard through Silver Hound, Emerald Bird, Yellow Marten and Luna Light Perfume, plus Perfume Dancer banish-from-GY recursion
• After siding: No side deck (0 cards): the list has no post-side plan and cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck is a Lunalight engine (31 of 74 archetype copies) built around Fusion Dancers, so its plan is consistent: about 98% of opening hands include a Lunalight core card (hypergeometric proxy, Inferred), and the starter and search density keeps the Dancers reachable. Its interaction suite (12 hand traps and Droll-style lock pieces, plus Ash and Ghost Belle negations) makes it resilient on the going-second side, and the 2800-3800 ATK Dancers close fast when the engine lands. The score is held down by the fact that the list is illegal: six Forbidden cards and two over-limit Limited/Semi-Limited cards mean it cannot be played as built, so the score is capped as a theoretical read. No combos, side deck, or tournament data were supplied, so the floor and median are unmeasured. Popularity of the Lunalight core (usage stats) confirms the cards are real and accessible, but it did not earn points by itself, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Formula: 0.80*Structural(57.4) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 54.9, then modifiers -12 = 42.9; Illegal cap applied (theoretical/structural only) -> 35

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Consistent Lunalight engine: 31 copies with multiple T1 starters and search
• Layered interaction: 12 hand traps plus negation and removal text
• Fusion Dancer finishers with 2800-3800 ATK and second-attack text

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 6 Forbidden cards and 2 copy-limit overages
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Off-archetype spread: only 2.7% exact Fire Formation name purity; the engine is Lunalight, not Fire Formation
• Dependence on Fusion Materials and GY recursion that can be disrupted

Critical choke points

• Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion access for every Dancer line (2 Polymerization, 1 Lunalight Fusion)
• Lunalight Fusion Material availability in hand
• Ash/Droll copy limits: fixing legality removes one hand trap each

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 6 Forbidden copies and 2 copy-limit overages (legal_copies from banlist); Main 59 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side 0; Card text and stats for all 45 distinct cards; Usage stats: Lunalight core present in 80%+ of archetype decks
• Inferred: Opening-hand estimates (hypergeometric, Main only); Consistency and brick estimates from text and hand-trap count; Interaction and closing-power reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13): no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: 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, starter rates) no side deck: no post-side evidence Title null; archetype label 'FIre Formation' does not match the Lunalight engine that is actually built
