Greed Deck #774085 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 39/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Control
• 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: Extra Deck Synchro beatdown and removal from Angelechy monsters (3000-ATK Angelechy Shatranga, Seneschal, Destrier, Bastion) backed by Centur-Ion Legatia and Chaos Angel.; Greed draw engine (Pot of Sloth, Pot of Desires) and Mulcharmy draw effects grinding card advantage into a long game.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Angelechy Problem or Opening to e4 and place an Angelechy Field Spell to start Extra Deck Synchro summons; hold Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre for the opponent's first activated effect.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Dominus Impulse) for the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Angelechy Verdict or Opposition.
• Recovery: Rebuild from the Spell and Trap zone with Angelechy Disturbance or Brilliant Move, which re-summon Angelechy monsters from the Extra Deck; Mulcharmy monsters draw cards when the hand is empty.
• After siding: No Side Deck is run, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games.

Why it scores here

The deck opens Angelechy starters reasonably often, with about 45 percent odds of at least one core-group card in a 5-card hand (Inferred), and its hand traps and Angelechy trap/negation interaction give it a credible interaction layer. Its Extra Deck converts to 3000-ATK and 3500-ATK Synchro boards once Angelechy monsters are summoned. Those strengths are offset by a split engine: only 4 copies of the exact Greed name are run, and 66 of the 70 archetype-linked copies belong to other sub-archetypes or are generic. The score rests on consistency, median output and interaction across the whole list, not on averaging card scores or on the popularity of Angelechy. The list is illegal as built (3 copies each of Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse against a limit of 2), so the score is a theoretical structural read only and carries low confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53.2, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist/copy-limit exposure (-8); no side deck (-2); engine conflict (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*53.2 + 0.20*42 - 12 = 39 (Meta provisional). Theoretical structural read only because the list is Illegal as built.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.45 · 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

• Interaction layer: 8 hand traps plus Verdict, Purge, Impulse and Opposition cover the first summon and the first activated effect.
• Extra Deck bosses reach 3000 to 3500 ATK (Shatranga, Seneschal, Chaos Angel, Centur-Ion Legatia).
• Greed and Mulcharmy draw effects recover card advantage across a long game.

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse against a limit of 2.
• Split engine: 4 exact Greed copies and 28 Angelechy copies sit alongside Chaos, Dominus, Mulcharmy and generic filler.
• No Side Deck, so the deck cannot adapt between games.
• 33 non-monster Main Deck slots with several dead-without-engine cards raise brick risk.

Critical choke points

• Angelechy Field Spell and Extra Deck Synchro summons: most lines need an Angelechy monster in the Extra Deck to be live.
• Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre are the only answers to an early first activated effect, so losing them to the opponent's first turn breaks the going-second plan.
• Off-engine Extra Deck slots (Chaos Angel, Centur-Ion, Assault Blackwing, Tri-Edge, Glitch Clutch) dilute the summon path.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2 (legality).; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the TCG size rules; Side 0 is legal.; Archetype usage: Ash Blossom 75.7 percent and Mulcharmy Fuwalos 73.0 percent inclusion; both present at full copies.; Card stats: Angelechy Shatranga 3000 ATK, Chaos Angel 3500 ATK, Centur-Ion Legatia 3500 ATK.
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand odds (0.25 per copy for 3-copy cards; 0.45 for the core group).; Hand-trap coverage of first summon and first activation.; Functional roles of Pot of Sloth, Pot of Desires and Mulcharmy as draw engines.
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (D13), since no dated metagame sample was supplied.
• 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 are absent. No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates). Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. Deck title is null in the export.
