Primite Deck #773758 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Ryzeal Detonator, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Chaos Angel) and Ryzeal Duo Drive attack pressure, assuming the Ryzeal and Fiendsmith lines connect; Fiendsmith Link/Fusion board presence (Fiendsmith's Desirae, Fiendsmith's Agnumday) with Primite recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Primite Lordly Lode or Fiendsmith Engraver, then Normal Summon Primite Dragon Ether Beryl or a Ryzeal and extend into an Extra Deck boss; hold Ash Blossom and Solemn behind it
• Turn 2 (going second): Open hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Artifact Lancea, Dominus Purge) against the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Ryzeal or Fiendsmith extenders
• Recovery: Recover through Ryzeal Cross and Primite Drillbeam-style recursion from the GY, plus Fiendsmith's Tract to refetch a LIGHT Fiend
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be assessed; the deck runs 0 side cards

Why it scores here

This list is scored as a structural, theoretical read only because it is Illegal: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden in TCG, and Solemn Judgment, Fiendsmith Engraver and Ash Blossom are over their copy limits. The deck reliably reaches a Lordly Lode or Engraver search and a Ryzeal or Primite extender in most openings (P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card hand) is about 0.95), but it splits across three archetypes (Primite, Fiendsmith, Ryzeal) plus generic tech, which lowers engine cohesion and raises brick risk. Its interaction suite (10 hand traps, about 17 negation-text cards, about 19 removal-text cards) is the main strength, especially going second where the hand-trap draw odds are about 0.73. No combo boards were recorded, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference, and no side deck or tournament data exists to support post-side or meta claims. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Balanced (no combo evidence for a Combo profile). Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Illegal cap applied, structural-only read

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Dense interaction suite: about 10 hand traps and about 17 negation-text cards
• High archetype-core presence (about 0.95 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card hand)
• Extra Deck has real boss options (Ryzeal Detonator, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Chaos Angel)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden card and three copy-limit violations
• Three archetypes split the engine, lowering cohesion
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• About 20 tech cards and many singletons raise brick risk

Critical choke points

• Primite Lordly Lode and Fiendsmith Engraver as the main searchers, both copy-limit constrained
• Extra Deck summon restrictions on Ryzeal and Fiendsmith extenders after a Special Summon from the Extra Deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and three copy-limit violations exist; Main 53, Extra 15, Side 0 under TCG size rules (main 40-60, extra 0-15); Archetype purity: exact Primite name 11.8%; 60 off-archetype copies; spread across Fiendsmith, Ryzeal, Mulcharmy, Artifact and Dominus; Usage stats: 25 core cards tracked, 12 present (48%)
• Inferred: Core engine access about 0.95 in a 5-card hand (hypergeometric); Hand-trap access about 0.73 going second (hypergeometric); Brick and dead-card estimates from card text and singleton count; Interaction density from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• 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 absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates No Side Deck registered, so post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
