Sinful Spoils Deck #774196 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters from Azamina, Diabell and Snake-Eyes lines (for example Azamina Moa Regina 3000 ATK, Diabellstar the Black Witch 2500 ATK, Snake-Eyes Vengeance Dragon 3000 ATK) once the Fusion and Synchro summons are online; Chaos Angel (3500 ATK) and Saint Azamina (4000 DEF) as late-game boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon through White Forest and Azamina searchers (Elzette, Silvy, Astellar) toward a Fusion or Synchro boss; the copy-limit violations mean this line cannot be played as-is in a sanctioned event
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first engine activation, then convert with Diabellze the White Witch or Witch of the White Forest; no side plan exists because the Side Deck is empty
• Recovery: Recur Sinful Spoils and Diabell Spell/Trap cards from the GY with WANTED, Deception of the Sinful Spoils and Curse of Diabell; Mulcharmy draw effects fill hand after a board break
• After siding: Not available: side_count is 0, so the deck has no post-side plan in best-of-3

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher line: about 20 searcher-text cards give roughly a 90% chance of at least one in the opening five, and the White Forest and Azamina searchers feed a Fusion or Synchro boss from the Extra Deck. Its interaction is layered across four hand traps, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Forbidden Droplet and Lightning Storm, so it can contest a going-second turn. Structural power is about 52 on the Midrange profile. Recovery is moderate because GY recursion from WANTED and Deception of the Sinful Spoils exists but depends on a single Limited card. The score is capped at 25 because three cards exceed their TCG copy limits, making the list illegal, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read. Archetype popularity and usage stats were not credited, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-5); archetype incoherence (-4); unrecoverable choke point (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + Modifiers = 0.80*52 + 0.20*42 - 12 = 38 uncapped; Illegal legality cap applied, final = 25 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · 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

• About 20 searcher-text cards give a high chance of a live opening (Inferred)
• Four hand traps and multiple negation effects give interaction on both turns (Inferred)
• Several high-ATK Extra Deck bosses (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Three cards exceed their TCG copy limits, so the list is illegal (Verified)
• Empty Side Deck: no post-side plan in best-of-3 (Verified)
• Low archetype purity (9.9%) across several sub-archetypes (Verified count)
• No recorded combos, guides, or tournament data to confirm any line (Verified absence)

Critical choke points

• WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils (Limited, over its copy limit): main searcher and GY recursion
• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (Semi-Limited, over its copy limit): main hand trap

Evidence & confidence

• Inferred: Opening-hand estimates for searchers, archetype core and hand traps (hypergeometric); Consistency, brick risk and interaction quality from text and composition; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• Data gaps: 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck.title is null No guides attached (total_guides = 0) Side Deck is empty, so there is no post-side evidence
