Primite Deck #774201 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Xyz/Link boards (Ryzeal Detonator, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Gunkan Uni-class Super-Dreadnought) that attack through or outvalue the opponent's board, with Gunkan Level 4 monsters as the material base.; Gunkan Xyz direct-attack and draw effects (Shirauo-class Carrier, Ikura-class Dreadnought) and Number 39: Utopia negation pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Normal Summon Gunkan Suship Shari or Uni (or Primite Lordly Lode for a Normal Monster), go to a Level 4 Xyz, and keep Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence up for the opponent's first interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first line, then rebuild through Gunkan Shari Red or Ikura's excavation into a Level 4 Xyz.
• Recovery: Recursion and redraw through Ryzeal Cross, Ryzeal Plugin, and the Gunkan Shari Red name-change loop, plus Painful Decision to rebuild a starter from the Deck.
• After siding: None: the deck runs no Side Deck, so it has no post-side plan (legal, but unadapted).

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Gunkan or Primite starter: Painful Decision, Gunkan Suship Uni, Gunkan Suship Shari Red and Primite Lordly Lode each reach a Level 4 Normal or Xyz base, and the 15 searcher-text cards give about an 88% chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5. From there the deck converts through Extra Deck Xyz and Link boards with 2500 to 3000 ATK closers, and it survives one disruption through six hand traps and several recursion routes. The score comes from consistency, closing power, and interaction density on the list as a system, not from averaging card scores. Archetype popularity earned no points, since the list is only 10% exact-name Primite and the usage data just confirms the Gunkan and Ryzeal cores are real. The zero-card Side Deck and the lack of recorded boards cap the score and keep confidence at Medium.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange + 0.2 Toolbox. Structural ≈ 58.5, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Engine conflict (-3); No side deck (-2); Banlist exposure (-1); Gunkan core redundancy (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*58.5 + 0.20*55 - 4 = 53.8, rounded to 54

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.3 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Redundant Level 4 starters and searchers (Painful Decision, Lordly Lode, Uni, Shari Red) give about 88% chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5
• Six hand traps plus broad negation and removal tech give layered interaction
• High-ATK Xyz and Link closers with direct-attack and draw text

Weaknesses

• Two competing Xyz engines (Gunkan and Ryzeal) with heavy off-archetype spread
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Twelve singleton cards add brick and dead-card risk when going first
• No recorded combos or win-rate data, so output and matchup claims are inferred

Critical choke points

• A single Ryzeal Detonator (Limited, one copy) is the only Extra answer to board control
• Hitting one hand trap line on going second leaves one Xyz route with thin backup
• Lightning Storm and Raigeki need an empty or partial opposing board, so they are dead against a board-first opponent

• Inferred: P(>=1 of a 3-copy starter in opening 5) = 0.30 and P(>=1 searcher-text card in opening 5) = 0.88; Six hand traps give 0.60 chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand; Interaction density is high based on card text (negation, destruction, banish); Closing power estimated from Xyz ATK and direct-attack text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample supplied; D13 matchup and format fit rely on archetype-level context only
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates No Side Deck: post-side performance cannot be scored Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
