forbidden Deck #774179 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Memento Fusion / Extra Deck boss monsters (Mementoal Tecuhtlica - Combined Creation, Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, Mementotlan Twin Dragon, Mementotlan-Horned Dragon) reached through Memento searchers and Fusion spells, protected by hand traps; Link and Fusion beatsticks (Starving Venom Fusion Dragon, Predaplant Dragostapelia, Accesscode Talker) and Mulcharmy draw-based grind
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Memento searchers and Fusion/Bone Party to reach a 2-card Memento board, keeping hand traps for the opponent's first commitment
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Droll & Lock Bird and Ghost Ogre to answer the opponent's starter, then convert with Memento Fusion or Creation King
• Recovery: Recurse Memento monsters from the GY (Angwitch, Ghattic, Shleepy, Horned Dragon GY-summon) and rebuild the Fusion engine
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its interaction: 13 hand-trap-tagged cards and 10 negation-text cards give roughly an 82% chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second six-card hand, which carries the going-second and end-board interaction scores. The Memento engine is real but split: the archetype core of 10 copies has about a 65% chance of at least one copy in a five-card opening hand, and the rest of the Main Deck is spread across Mulcharmy, Charmer, Cyclone, Greed and generic staples. Board conversion is scored on text only, because the evidence has no recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median sit low with Inferred confidence. The deck is capped because its legality is Illegal (three copies of Semi-Limited Ash Blossom), so its final score is a theoretical, structural-only figure. Archetype usage statistics and the deck's popularity did not earn points, and the score does not come from averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun weights not blended because the deck has no dedicated stun shell. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-9). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 49, then Illegal cap applied via modifier = 40

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.65 · 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 hand-trap and negation coverage that is strongest going second
• Multiple recursion routes from the GY to keep the Memento engine going
• High-ATK Fusion and Link bosses for closing

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom
• Low archetype purity and many off-archetype staples
• No Side Deck
• Many hand traps are dead without an opponent action

Critical choke points

• Memento monster access in hand or GY
• Fusion Summon needs for Creation King and Twin Dragon

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 14, Side 0 within the TCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Hand-trap, negation and removal role tags from the card text; Exact-name archetype purity of 4.3%
• Observed: No recorded boards exist for the deck
• Inferred: Memento core at-least-one-in-5 probability of about 0.65; 82% chance of a hand trap in a going-second six-card hand; Brick and recovery estimates from composition and card text; Interaction quality and pilot difficulty
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Matchup coverage (no matchup data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent No Side Deck registered; post-side plan cannot be assessed No win-rate telemetry exists for this deck Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
