Goblin Deck #774184 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Chaos Angel 3500, Psychic End Punisher 3500, Lancea 3300, Arms of Genex Return Zero 3100) reached through Goblin and Radiant Typhoon searcher lines (Inferred from card text); Goblin Biker Grand Breakout and Goblin ecosystem Xyz/Synchro follow-up (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Goblin or Radiant Typhoon starter, convert it into a Synchro or Xyz boss, and hold Ash Blossom and Nibiru as hand traps (Inferred; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Nibiru, Evenly Matched) to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through searchers (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through searchers (16 searcher-text cards) and Goblin Biker graveyard effects (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its searcher density (16 searcher-text cards, P(at least one in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.83) gives it a reasonable chance of reaching a starter, and it is held back by a thin 10-copy Goblin core (14.1% exact-archetype purity) spread across Horus, Bamboo Sword, P.U.N.K., Roid and Radiant Typhoon. Interruption is covered by seven hand traps, three of them Ash Blossom, and by seven negation-text cards. Its Extra Deck has real closing power: several 3000+ ATK bosses sit behind the searchers, which keeps the end-board score up. The score is capped because the list is illegal (Ash Blossom at 3 copies against a limit of 2) and it has no Side Deck, no recorded boards and no tournament data. Archetype popularity did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox (D13 dropped and renormalized to 95 for a meta-neutral structural score). Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Structural 53 (D13 excluded, renormalized) → 0.80*53 + 0.20*48 = 52.0; modifiers −8 → 44; capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only read, not a normal Final score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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

• 16 searcher-text cards give a high chance of reaching a starter (≈0.83 in a 5-card hand)
• Seven hand traps and three Ash Blossoms give redundant interruption
• Several 3000+ ATK Extra Deck bosses give real closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Diffuse archetype: 14.1% exact-archetype purity across many sub-archetypes
• No combo, tournament or win-rate evidence, so the floor and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom copy count must drop to 2 for the list to be legal
• Goblin starter availability is thin (10 exact-archetype copies)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 56 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs limit 2; Hypergeometric draw probabilities from the resolved list; Boss ATK values and the archetype-purity counts
• Inferred: Starter and engine accessibility from searcher text and draw odds; Interruption resilience from hand-trap and negation text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Toolbox classification
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13), since no dated meta sample exists; Meta Power is null
• Data gaps: Card title is null and no deck name is available No combos supplied: combo 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) Source conflict: usage statistics marks Goblin Biker Big Gabonga and S:P Little Knight as not in this deck, but the cards array lists both in the Extra Deck, so their presence is uncertain Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
