Exchange of the Spirit Deck #774034 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Destiny HERO fusion and Dark Angel / Denier recursion into Destiny HERO boss monsters (Dusktopia, Dominance, Destro-Dogma, Dreadnought Master), with Destiny HERO - Doom Overlord and Fusion Destiny as the engine starters.; Elemental HERO and Masked HERO fusions (Contrast HERO Chaos, Masked HERO Dark Law) and Angelechy synchro beats, all dependent on Tuner access from Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Destiny HERO or Fusion Destiny starter, use Doom Overlord or Dark City at Midnight to search a second Destiny HERO, then fuse into a 2900-3400 ATK boss while holding Typhoon and Ash Blossom for the opponent's response.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Nibiru as hand traps to break the opponent's first Special Summon or activation, then recover through Destiny HERO - Denier or Dark Angel and rebuild a Destiny HERO fusion on the following turn.
• Recovery: Recover from a single hand-trap or Solemn exchange by returning Destiny HERO monsters from the GY with Denier or Dark Angel, then re-searching Polymerization or Fusion Destiny through Furnace or Fountain.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan in the list as submitted.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected system: a Destiny HERO fusion engine fed by searchers (15 searcher-text cards, P(at least one in a 5-card hand) about 0.81, Inferred) and recursion through Denier and Dark Angel, backed by 9 hand traps and 11 tech cards that add interruption resilience. Its closing power is high (Dusktopia 3000 ATK, Dominance 2900, Destro-Dogma 3400 with a delayed burn), and the Extra Deck is fully used at 15 cards. The list does not earn points for the archetype label or for popularity: the export names 'Exchange of the Spirit', which no card in the list carries, and the Destiny HERO core is inferred from card text rather than from recorded boards or win rates. Two copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse, 3 copies each against a limit of 2) make the list illegal, so the score is capped at the structural-only band and not treated as a normal Final Contextual score. The side deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan and the tournament-reliability component is held down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange (D13 dropped and remaining weights renormalised, meta-neutral). Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Legality exposure (copy-limit violations and Semi-Limited/Limited cards) (-8); No post-side plan (-5); Engine conflict and archetype mismatch (-5). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); Illegal-deck cap applied: theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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 searcher and recursion package (15 searcher-text cards, Denier and Dark Angel recursion)
• Nine hand traps plus Typhoon, Solemn and Dominus interaction give layered disruption
• High closing ATK in the Extra Deck (Destro-Dogma, Dusktopia, Dominance, Dreadnought Master)
• Full Extra Deck with three distinct fusion/synchro/link routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: two cards are over the Semi-Limited copy limit
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan in a best-of-3 format
• Archetype label does not match the card pool, which signals an unclear build identity
• Off-archetype and narrow slots (Dominus, Reinforcement, Terraforming, Rainbow Bridge) reduce hand quality

Critical choke points

• Destiny HERO fusion lines depend on Polymerization or Fusion Destiny, each present as a single-copy or triple-copy Main slot, so losing those to Ash or Solemn stops the main route
• Tuner access for Angelechy and Ghost Ogre depends on Ash Blossom, which is itself over the copy limit

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 55, Extra Deck 15, Side Deck 0; main and extra counts are within the TCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse are run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Solemn Judgment, Terraforming, Droll & Lock Bird and Reinforcement of the Army are Limited at 1 copy each and run at 1 copy each; Extra Deck breakdown: 9 Fusion, 3 Synchro, 3 Link
• Inferred: Searcher hand probability about 0.81 and archetype-core hand probability about 0.99 from hypergeometric estimates; Destiny HERO engine is the primary win condition, based on card text and the Extra Deck composition; Interaction density is high based on card text (removal_text 33, negation_text 11); Going-second hand-trap coverage about 0.68 for at least one hand trap in 6 cards
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament link, no post-side data)
• Data gaps: Deck title is null, and the exported archetype 'Exchange of the Spirit' matches no card in the card list No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No guides attached for the archetype (0 guides)
