Greed Deck #774141 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker Ace Link monsters (Zero, Kagari, Raye/Roze line) and Sky Striker spell recursion converting to board pressure; no single verified kill route in the evidence; Draw-engine card advantage (Pot of Desires, Pot of Sloth, Upstart Goblin, Mulcharmy draw effects) to out-resource the opponent
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Sky Striker starters (Mobilize, Widow Anchor, Ace monsters) while holding Ash/Droll/Solemn interaction; use Greed draw spells to find Extra Deck Link Summons (Inferred, no combo data)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched, Solemn Judgment) and Forbidden Crown / Mystical Space Typhoon to disrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild with Sky Striker Link Summons (Inferred)
• Recovery: Sky Striker Spell recursion via Special Maneuver - Lemnisgate and Sky Striker Ace - Zero/Camellia GY effects, with Greed draw spells to refill the hand (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0); no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and The Fallen & The Virtuous are each run 3 times against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so it is scored as a structural-only read and capped at 30. Its functional core is a Sky Striker engine (29 of 56 main cards, 12 Sky Striker-named Extra Deck Link/Ace routes) supported by a Greed/Mulcharmy draw layer and seven hand traps, which gives it reasonable interaction density and card advantage on paper. The score comes from consistency (archetype-core opening-hand probability 0.445, Inferred), draw-based resource economy, and endboard interaction read from card text, not from the Greed archetype label or its 8.5% exact-name purity. Combo ceiling and floor are not measurable because no recorded boards exist, and the average of the individual card strengths was not used. No side deck and no tournament or meta data are present, so the post-side and matchup dimensions stay low and provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (banlist exposure) (-10); Engine conflicts across archetypes (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(49.6) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 35.7, capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only); Meta Power provisional/null

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Seven hand traps and about 15 negation-text cards give layered interaction
• Draw engines (Pot of Desires, Pot of Sloth, Upstart Goblin, Mulcharmy) give strong card advantage
• Sky Striker Link routes give multiple Extra Deck options with GY-spell recursion

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Ash Blossom and The Fallen & The Virtuous
• Low archetype purity (8.5%) across roughly 7 sub-archetypes
• 56 main cards with 24 distinct names and no side deck
• No recorded combos, so floor and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker starter access depends on Ace monsters in the 5-card main monster pool; the archetype core opens in hand 5 only 44.5% of the time (Inferred)
• Mulcharmy draw effects require an empty field, which conflicts with Sky Striker board requirements (Inferred from text)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main count 56, extra count 15, side count 0 (legality.size_rules); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited); The Fallen & The Virtuous run 3 vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited); Archetype composition: Sky Striker 29, exact-name purity 8.5%; Card text excerpts for all listed cards
• Inferred: Hypergeometric estimates (archetype core 0.445, hand trap 0.569); Engine and draw-layer consistency readings; Going-first and going-second plan descriptions; Interaction and resilience reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry; brick, starter, and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown no side deck; post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
