Adamancipator Deck #773700 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro beatdown from Adamancipator Risen monsters (Tiamite 3300 ATK, Dragite 3000 ATK) after excavation-driven Synchro setup; Snake-Eyes Vengeance Dragon and Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying as additional Extra Deck boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Adamancipator Conductor / Seeker / Researcher / Analyzer to excavate for a Rock Level 4 or lower, Mates or Crystal - Tiamite for searching, then Synchro into a Risen monster while holding Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through the Adamancipator excavation engine
• Recovery: Excavation and Mates / Crystal searches recover Adamancipator monsters from the Deck; Half Slice of Nickeline and Crystal - Tiamite recycle Rock monsters from the GY
• After siding: Not evaluated: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is built around a dense Adamancipator core (32 copies of the archetype core group, about 0.9997 chance of at least one in an opening 5 by hypergeometric estimate) that repeatedly reaches a live engine through several Tuner and excavation routes, so the opening is consistent (Inferred). Its system strength lies in layered interaction: about ten hand traps plus negation text across the Main Deck and Extra Deck give roughly 83% chance of a hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand (Inferred), which supports the going-second plan. Ceiling and median output could not be measured because the export contains no parseable recorded boards, so D3 and D4 rest on text reads only. The score is not driven by Adamancipator's popularity or by averaging card scores. It is capped because the list runs three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of two, which makes the deck Illegal in the TCG format and limits this result to a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, no secondary weighting applied. Structural ≈ 53.7, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-4); illegal cap (-5). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*53.7 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 40, then capped to 35 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only read)

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• Dense Adamancipator core gives near-certain engine access in the opening 5
• Layered hand-trap and negation coverage for going second
• Multiple Rock Synchro and excavation routes for redundancy
• Strong end-board attackers (Risen - Tiamite, Risen - Dragite, Chengying)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in TCG: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring copy count exceeds the Semi-Limited limit
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Only 50.9% exact-name archetype purity; 28 off-archetype copies dilute the engine
• No combo data to validate ceiling or median

Critical choke points

• Excavation Main Phase effects requiring a Level 4 or lower Rock monster in the Deck
• Synchro Summon of Risen monsters requiring specific Tuner and non-Tuner pairings
• Ash Blossom copy count is an immediate legality failure until reduced to two

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck size 42 and Extra Deck size 15 are inside the TCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Droll & Lock Bird runs 1 copy within its Limited limit of 1; Adamancipator archetype purity is 50.9% by exact name; No Side Deck is supplied (side count 0)
• Observed: Usage statistics show Adamancipator core cards at 100% inclusion in the archetype sample
• Inferred: Opening-5 engine access ≈ 0.9997 from hypergeometric estimate; Going-second hand-trap access ≈ 0.83 from hypergeometric estimate; Interaction depth from negation and hand-trap text; Synchro end-board strength from printed ATK values and text
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (D13) because no archetype meta-share or dated sample is supplied
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck supplied, so post-side plan cannot be evaluated
