Fossil Deck #773702 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, 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 off the Rock/Adamancipator engine: Adamancipator Risen - Tiamite (3300 ATK) and Risen - Dragite (3000 ATK) once a Tuner plus non-Tuners are on field; Backup Synchro and Link bodies (Risen - Leonite, Risen - Raptite, Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying, Snake-Eyes Vengeance Dragon) when the first boss is answered
• Turn 1 (going first): Excavate-driven starter from hand (Adamancipator Conductor, Seeker, Researcher, Analyzer) to a Level-matched Synchro, with Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Effect Veiler held for the opponent's first Main Phase
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Nibiru) to stop the opponent's first board, then the Adamancipator engine to rebuild a Synchro boss
• Recovery: Adamancipator Mates and Crystal - Tiamite recycle the engine from the GY, and Adamancipator Signs revives a Rock monster from the GY
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck list (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan is shown

Why it scores here

The Adamancipator core is almost certain to be present: the evidence gives roughly a 99% chance of at least one core card in an opening five-card hand, and about 80% for at least one searcher, so the engine opens reliably (Inferred). Ten hand traps and six removal-text cards give the deck real interaction, and the going-second hand-trap hit rate of about 83% supports a reasonable going-second plan. Conversion is only moderately supported because the deck has no recorded combos, so ceiling and median scores are text-based inferences and kept near the middle. The score is pulled down by the legality failure (three Ash Blossom copies against a limit of two), which caps it at 40, and by the missing Side Deck, which removes any post-side evidence. Archetype popularity was not used to earn points, and the score comes from the list's structure rather than an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary (hand-trap heavy); the Midrange profile is used for the structural score. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(59) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) = 58.2; modifiers -4 gives 54; Illegal status caps the final score at 40 (theoretical and structural only); Meta Power provisional, excluded

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.01 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Engine opens reliably: about 99% of opening hands contain an Adamancipator core card
• Ten hand traps plus Koa'ki Meiru negation text give layered interaction
• Synchro bosses reach 3000 to 3300 ATK with a clear Tuner plus non-Tuner route

Weaknesses

• Illegal in the TCG format: three Ash Blossom copies against a limit of two
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan can be assessed
• No recorded combo boards, so conversion is text-only inference

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom copy count is a legality failure until one copy is removed
• Tuner availability for every Synchro line (Adamancipator Conductor, Seeker, Researcher, Analyzer)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies versus a legal limit of 2 (Semi-Limited); Droll & Lock Bird is Limited with 1 copy, legal; Main 42, Extra 15, Side 0; Main within 40 to 60; Archetype-core hypergeometric estimate ≈ 0.995 (usage-based)
• Inferred: Engine accessibility, brick risk and interaction quality are estimated from text and hypergeometric draws; Going-second hand-trap coverage ≈ 0.83
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: Illegal list: the copy-limit violation caps the score, so the score reflects structure only No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-based inference No Side Deck (Side Deck size 0): D12 is provisional No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck Data inconsistency: usage statistics marks several Extra Deck cards (e.g. Risen - Tiamite, Risen - Dragite, Risen - Leonite, Luminous) as in this deck false although the cards list includes them with copies; the cards list was trusted Title is null and the stored archetype Fossil conflicts with the Adamancipator-dominant list (exact-name purity 1.8%)
