forbidden Deck #774162 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, 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: Link Summon Sky Striker Ace monsters (Raye and Roze into Kagari, Zero, Shizuku, Hayate) for board pressure, with Sky Striker spells recurring from the GY as the engine.; Hand-trap and removal interaction (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Evenly Matched, Drowning Mirror Force, Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster) to keep the opponent from stabilising.
• Turn 1 (going first): Not determinable from evidence: no combo boards are recorded. Structural read only: open a non-monster Sky Striker spell that searches or Special Summons, then Link Summon an Ace (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Ghost Ogre to negate the opponent's first activations, then use Raigeki or Forbidden Droplet on the resulting board (Inferred).
• Recovery: Rebuild through Sky Striker Mecha spells and Sky Striker Ace Link recursion once the GY holds 3 or more Spells (Inferred from card text).
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan can be evaluated.

Why it scores here

Scored on the system, not by averaging card scores. The list is Illegal as built, because Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited cap of 2, so the normal Final score is capped at 30 and the result is structural and theoretical only. The Sky Striker engine (Raye, Roze, Kagari, Hayate, Zero, Shizuku) is real but diluted: exact-name archetype purity is 2.9% and 37 Main copies are generic, and the archetype core group gives only about 0.39 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest part, with 15 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards giving high going-second coverage (D7 74, D8 70). Closing power is moderate and there are no recorded combo boards, so floor, median and ceiling cannot be measured. Popularity and archetype usage earned no points beyond confirming the list is a real build, and the empty side deck removes any post-side credit.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Structural 52.3 -> 0.80*52.3 + 0.20*45 = 50.8; context modifiers -12 -> 38.8; Illegal cap (copy-limit violations) -> 30. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.39 · 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

• 15 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards give interaction on both turns
• Sky Striker spell recursion and several Link Ace routes give some redundancy
• Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster and Drowning Mirror Force provide board-wide and trap-based removal

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two cards exceed their Semi-Limited copy limit
• No side deck (side_count 0), so no post-side adaptability
• Engine is split across Sky Striker, Forbidden and Harpie cards plus generic tech (exact-name purity 2.9%)
• No combos, guides or tournament data, so floor, median and ceiling cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• The strongest Sky Striker effects need 3 or more Spells in the GY, and early turns depend on the no-monsters-in-MMZ condition
• Single-copy Extra Deck lines (Sky Striker Ace - Camellia, Zeke, Azalea) and the Fusion monsters (Norden, Mudragon) have no redundancy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 55 and Extra Deck 15 are within the size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization run 3 copies against a legal max of 2 (Semi-Limited); Harpie's Feather Duster, Reinforcement of the Army and Sky Striker Mecha - Hornet Drones are Limited and run 1 copy each (legal); Core usage stats: Ash Blossom 78%, Forbidden Droplet 61%, Harpie's Feather Duster 56% are in the deck; S:P Little Knight and Mulcharmy Fuwalos are absent
• Observed: No combos are recorded (total_combos 0)
• Inferred: Archetype core P(>=1 in opening 5) = 0.39 (hypergeometric); Hand-trap P(>=1 in going-second 6) = 0.87 (hypergeometric); Interaction and brick estimates come from card text role hints
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample, no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered (side_count 0) Deck title is null; archetype field 'forbidden' differs from the Sky Striker engine by card spread
