Psy-Frame Deck #774536 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Clown Crew and PSY-Frame boards converted through Ritual, Fusion and Synchro summons into 2,500-ATK beaters (Clown Crew Biancaviso, PSY-Frame Driver) with Clown Crew Malabarisme and Clown Crew Soiree Operations recursion; Hand-trap and Solemn-based interaction that protects a single engine line while extra-deck monsters close the game
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Clown Crew starter (Cappello, Rehearsal, Flair or Malabarisme), extend through Matinee Operatics or Soiree Operations into a Level-5+ Ritual, Fusion or Synchro, and keep Solemn and Effect Veiler up for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Linkuriboh) to break the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Clown Crew Rehearsal or Flair
• Recovery: Recover through Clown Crew New Face, Clown Crew Finale and Mulcharmy Fuwalos recursion; Pot of Sloth resets the hand when a turn is lost
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The list cannot be scored as a normal legal deck: it runs three copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization against a TCG limit of two, so the result is a structural-only theoretical read. The engine is accessible in principle, since the archetype core group has an estimated 94.7% chance of at least one card in a five-card opening hand (Inferred), but only 5.6% of the main deck is exact-name Psy-Frame and 67 copies are off-archetype, so the engine is spread across Clown Crew, Mulcharmy, Solemn and generic staples rather than locked into one line. Interaction is the deck's real strength: 13 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards and 25 removal-text cards give it layered answers to the opponent's first activation, which supports the going-second score. Conversion and median output could not be measured because no recorded boards exist, so combo floor and ceiling rest on card text alone. The deck has no Side Deck, which drags adaptability to the floor. The score comes from consistency, interaction and the system as a whole, not from averaging individual card scores, and popularity was not credited.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Copy-limit violation (banlist exposure) (-12). Final formula: Illegal list: 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 46.4, then copy-limit modifier -12 = 34; treated as theoretical/structural-only, Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Layered interaction: hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird and removal-text cards
• Strong going-second hand-trap coverage (≈0.81 for at least one in six cards)
• Legal size: 56 main and 15 extra are within TCG bounds

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization
• Exact-name archetype purity of 5.6%; engine spread across sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, so conversion and median output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Clown Crew Rehearsal / Flair / Malabarisme as the first-turn starter route
• Single Ritual, Fusion or Synchro summon as the extension step into 2,500-ATK bodies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal from two copy-limit violations; Main 56 and Extra 15 within TCG size rules; Side Deck count is 0; Core-group probability 0.9473 from hypergeometric calculation
• Inferred: Engine consistency and brick risk from hypergeometric estimates and card text; Interaction quality from text roles (hand traps, negation, removal); Going-second interaction from hand-trap group probability
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13 neutral 50)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred No Side Deck: post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
