forbidden Deck #773760 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Memento board-building into 2800-5000 ATK Fusion/Link threats (Mementotlan-Horned Dragon, Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation); Raigeki and Lightning Storm board clears followed by Memento attackers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a hand-trap or Memento searcher, use Mementotlan Angwitch or Bone Party to search Memento monsters, and build toward a Fusion/Link threat while holding hand traps for the opponent's first answer
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre and Droll to stop the opponent's starter, then clear the field with Raigeki or Lightning Storm and follow up with Memento summons
• Recovery: Memento GY recursion through Mementotlan Ghattic and Mementotlan Akihiron, plus Mementotlan Shleepy for a Fusion Summon from hand
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens interaction: 13 hand traps and 10 negation-text cards give it a strong answer to the opponent's first play, and the three Raigeki/Lightning Storm-style clears add board-breaking. Its engine is Memento, with 25 Memento-named cards and a 76% chance of at least one Memento searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), so the starter is reachable. The Fusion and Link Extra Deck supplies threats of 2800 to 5000 ATK, but no recorded boards exist, so the conversion ceiling and median output are text-only inferences (Inferred). Popularity and archetype usage did not add points, and the score comes from the system as a whole, not from an average of card scores. The list is illegal (Ash Blossom at 3 copies over a limit of 2), so the score is capped low and the evaluation is structural only, with no side deck and no tournament or meta data.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Stun profile with D13 excluded (meta-neutral, no dated metagame sample). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: copy-limit violation (-8); engine conflicts (-3); no side deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), capped low because the list is Illegal: 0.80*52 + 0.20*42 = 50, then -12 context modifiers = 38

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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: 13 hand traps, 10 negation-text cards and 29 removal-text cards
• Memento engine has 25 Memento-named cards and a 76% chance of a searcher in an opening 5
• Fusion and Link Extra Deck supply several threats above 2800 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom run 3 times against a limit of 2
• Only 4.3% exact archetype purity; Mulcharmy and Forbidden lines dilute the Memento engine
• No side deck and no recorded boards

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence are needed to stop the opponent's first play; losing them to a single answer leaves the Memento engine unprotected
• Mementotlan Fusion and Creation King are the main Fusion access; both depend on Memento monsters in hand or field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 14, Side 0 are within size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 copies against a limit of 2 (Illegal); Exact archetype purity 4.3%; Memento copies 25; 13 hand traps and 9 Fusion plus 5 Link cards in the Extra Deck
• Inferred: P(at least one Memento searcher in 5 cards) ~0.76; Interaction-led Stun plan with a Memento board-building conversion; Brick risk from 13 hand traps and 26 level-0 slots; Engine conflicts between Raigeki/Lightning Storm and Memento board-building
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament or meta data)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and the per-pilot record are absent no win-rate telemetry, so going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown no side deck registered, so D12 has no performance data Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
