Relinquished Deck #773704 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 21 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tribute Summon and Extra Deck threats (2500-3000 ATK bodies) from the Clown Crew core; Link and Fusion beats protected by hand traps
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Clown Crew starter, search with Clown Crew Flair or Rehearsal, then build toward Biancaviso or the Extra Deck threats
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence) answer the first board, then Biancaviso or The Great Gallant Bandit recovers
• Recovery: Clown Crew Malabarisme and Clown Crew Finale recur from the GY or banishment
• After siding: No side deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is interaction-dense: 9 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards sit around a Clown Crew core, and the archetype-core proxy gives roughly 0.99 odds of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Its floor and median output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so the combo dimensions rest on card text alone and are held moderate. Structural power lands near 55 under a Midrange profile, but the list is illegal as built: 21 Extra Deck cards exceeds the TCG maximum of 15, so per the rubric the Final Contextual score is capped at 30 and the evaluation is theoretical/structural-only. Archetype popularity earned no points, card scores were not averaged, and the score reflects consistency, interaction and resilience on the system as a whole.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54.6, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (0). Final formula: Illegal (Extra Deck 21 > 15): raw 0.80*54.6 + 0.20*48 = 53.3, capped at 30 per rubric Step 2 (theoretical/structural-only); Meta Power provisional (null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Hand-trap and negation density: 9 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards
• Redundant searchers and starters: 11 searcher-text cards and a 3-copy Clown Crew core
• High-ATK closers in the Extra Deck (2500-3000 ATK)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 21 Extra Deck cards against a maximum of 15
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Archetype label Relinquished does not match the list: 1 exact-name copy against 33 Clown Crew copies
• No recorded combo boards, so floor and median output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck over the limit: the list must be cut to 15 before it is playable as a legal deck
• Clown Crew Extra Deck summon chains depend on a few single-copy Link, Synchro and Fusion cards
