Relinquished Deck #774123 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 21 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Clown Crew board presence backed by high-ATK Level 7 and Level 8 monsters (Biancaviso, Harmonia, Bandit) and Extra Deck link/synchro beaters (Avramax, Underworld Goddess, Packbit); Tribute-summon chains through Clown Crew Cappello and Flair into the Extra Deck, with Relinquished and Clown Crew Finale as recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Clown Crew starter (Cappello, Malabarisme or Soiree Operations, each about 30% in a 5-card hand) and convert it into a Tribute Summon or Pendulum line; hold Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence for the first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's 9 hand traps (about 76% to hold at least one) and Ash/Ghost Belle negations to break the opponent's first Extra Deck summon, then rebuild with Clown Crew Matinee Operatics and Rehearsal
• Recovery: Clown Crew Finale and Clown Crew New Face recover from the GY/banish zone; Preparation of Rites searches a Ritual Monster and a Ritual Spell from the GY
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck can open a Clown Crew engine reliably in aggregate: 28 archetype-core copies give about a 99% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, although each individual 3-copy starter sits near 30%. Interaction is dense for the format, with 18 negation-text cards and 9 hand traps, which gives a real going-second plan. Closing power is strong on paper because several Extra Deck monsters reach 2500 to 3000 ATK. Score is capped because the Extra Deck holds 21 cards against a limit of 15, which makes the list illegal, and because there are no combos, no side deck and no tournament data. Popularity did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Combo as a secondary read, not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal Extra Deck size (-6); No side deck (-4); Limited-status key cards (-2). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*51 + 0.20*42 + modifiers(-6) = about 43 (Meta provisional). Illegal cap applied: final = 30, structural-only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.3 · 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 Clown Crew core (28 copies) gives high archetype access in the opening hand
• Nine hand traps and 18 negation-text cards give going-second interaction depth
• Strong Extra Deck closing power at 2500 to 3000 ATK, with multiple link and synchro options

Weaknesses

• Extra Deck is over the 15-card limit at 21, which makes the list illegal as built
• No side deck, so there is no way to adapt between games
• Exact-name purity is only 1.5%, which suggests a loose, off-archetype build
• No recorded combos, so consistency and conversion are inferred from text only

Critical choke points

• Each 3-copy Clown Crew starter is about a 30% chance in the opening hand, so the engine depends on one specific card
• Tribute Summon chains depend on monsters that must already be on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Extra Deck size 21 exceeds the 15-card limit; Droll & Lock Bird and S:P Little Knight are Limited at 1 copy each; Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are Semi-Limited at 2 and 1 copies, both within the legal limit; Main Deck is 45 cards, within 40 to 60; Side Deck is 0 cards; Exact-name archetype purity is 1.5%
• Observed: Clown Crew 33 copies and generic 27 copies in the main composition
• Inferred: Clown Crew core access of about 0.99 in a 5-card hand; Going-second interaction density from 9 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards; Closing power estimated from ATK values and Extra Deck beaters
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample is supplied
• Data gaps: No recorded combos, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and matchup records are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for this deck Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Side Deck is empty, so post-side performance is unknown Deck title is null
