Metalmorph Deck #774610 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 49/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Max Metalmorph trap chains into 2500-3400 ATK Special Summoned boss monsters (Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon 3400, Metalzoa X 3000, Zoa 2600, Metalflame Swordsman 2500), each protected by Metalmorph traps.; Desperado Barrel Dragon coin-toss destruction during the Battle Phase, which can clear blockers and open attacks.
• Turn 1 (going first): Set a Metalmorph trap (Metal Illusionist or Incoming Machine can fetch one), then Tribute into Max Metalmorph and Special Summon a Max Metalmorph boss from hand or Deck.
• Turn 2 (going second): No hand traps are included, so the plan relies on Max Metalmorph on the Battle Phase or end of turn, plus Desperado coin-toss and Mirror Force to answer the opponent's board.
• Recovery: Incoming Machine recycles from the GY to fetch Max Metalmorph or a Metalmorph trap, and Metal Illusionist can draw when Max Metalmorph is in the GY.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan (Side = 0).

Why it scores here

The deck opens a Metalmorph plan reliably enough. Searchers are present in 13 copies (P(at least one in a 5-card hand) = 0.88), and the Max Metalmorph gate has 3 copies (P = 0.34 in 5 cards, 0.39 in 6). Conversion depends on Max Metalmorph and the traps that protect the boss monsters. Its ceiling is high because several 2500-3400 ATK bosses are Special Summoned from the Main Deck, but no recorded boards exist, so the median and ceiling are text-based estimates. Resilience is moderate: 11 traps and redundant starters help, but the list runs zero hand traps and zero Side Deck cards, which weakens going-second interaction and post-side adaptation. The score comes from the system: starter redundancy, boss output, and trap protection on one engine, not from averaging card scores or from the archetype's popularity; the archetype share and usage stats only confirm the list is a real build. Meta Power is provisional because no dated metagame sample exists.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55.3, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: No Side Deck plan (-3); Max Metalmorph single-gate dependency (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*55.3 + 0.20*48 = 53.8, then -5 modifiers = 48.8, rounded to 49

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Starter redundancy: 13 searcher-text copies, with 4 routes into Max Metalmorph.
• High boss output: 2500-3400 ATK Main Deck summons.
• Trap-protected engine: 11 traps, including 9 Metalmorph traps (Time Engine, Max Metalmorph, Flame Coating), which protect the bosses.
• Compact 40-card build with 12 cards at 3 copies.

Weaknesses

• Zero hand traps, so going-second interaction depends on Max Metalmorph timing.
• Zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.
• Low archetype purity (22.5% exact-name), with 21 generic copies and off-archetype splash.

Critical choke points

• Max Metalmorph (3 copies): gates most boss Special Summons; the disruption-resilience plan depends on Incoming Machine and Metal Illusionist to recover it.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal; Terraforming Limited 1 copy run 1; all others at 3 copies or fewer; 40 Main, 0 Extra, 0 Side.; Card text and stats for all 16 distinct cards.; Archetype purity: 9 exact-name Metalmorph copies (22.5%).; Core usage stats: 10 of 20 core cards present; archetype stat sample has 3 decks.; Hand traps = 0; Side = 0.
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter probabilities (0.3376 / 0.3943 / 0.8773).; Structural dimension scores D1-D12, D14 from card text and composition.; Going-first and going-second estimates.; Interaction density and resilience from text tags.
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample).; D13 matchup/format fit (no tournament link).; Tournament Reliability.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent. No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick/starter rates are Inferred or Unknown. Archetype usage statistics are based on only 3 sampled decks, so inclusion percentages are low-sample. Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample. No Side Deck recorded, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured. Terraforming's Field Spell targets are unverified in this list.
