Signature move Deck #774612 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 52/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Max Metalmorph special-summons a boss (Metalzoa X, Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon, Metalflame Swordsman, 2400-3400 ATK) that attacks through the opponent's board; Desperado Barrel Dragon coin-toss board destruction (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Metal Illusionist or Zoa, tribute into Max Metalmorph, Special Summon a Max Metalmorph boss, and hold Mirror Force for the attack
• Turn 2 (going second): Zoa Special Summon from hand in Defense, then pivot into a Max Metalmorph boss; Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon negation and Mirror Force as the only interaction (Inferred)
• Recovery: Time Engine and Max Metalmorph/Flame Coating recycle Metalmorph traps from the GY; Incoming Machine! banishes from the GY to re-threaten (Inferred from text)
• After siding: None. The deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency rests on its system rather than on any single card: three copies each of Metal Illusionist, Incoming Machine! and Zoa give several redundant routes to the Metalmorph engine, and the searcher-text group reaches at least one copy in about 88% of opening hands (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from Max Metalmorph summoning high-ATK bosses such as Metalzoa X, Red-Eyes Black Fullmetal Dragon and Desperado Barrel Dragon, which gives strong closing power (D9). The score is held back by the absence of recorded boards, so floor and median are estimated at neutral, by the lack of any Side Deck, by the dead Terraforming (no Field Spell in the Main Deck) and the Summoner Monk effect with no Level 4 target, and by zero hand traps for going second. Popularity was not credited: the archetype usage stats only confirm that the core list is standard, and the score was not built by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: no_side_deck (-3); dead_tech_singletons (-2); engine_redundancy (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*56 + 0.20*50 - 3 = 51.8 -> 52

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · 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

• Three copies each of 12 cards gives a consistent, low-variance core
• Several redundant Max Metalmorph and searcher enablers (about 88% at least one searcher in opening 5, Inferred)
• High-ATK bosses (2400-3400) that close games
• Recursion through Time Engine, Scrap Garage and Incoming Machine! GY banish
• Compact 40-card Main Deck with no Extra Deck dependence

Weaknesses

• No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are unmeasured
• Terraforming is dead with no Field Spells in the Main Deck
• Summoner Monk's effect has no Level 4 target
• No Side Deck and therefore no post-side plan
• Zero hand traps or floodgates for going second; only one Mirror Force
• Boss monsters are Normal Summon-restricted and depend on Max Metalmorph tribute

Critical choke points

• Max Metalmorph needs a face-up monster to tribute; without one the boss line stops
• Boss monsters cannot be Normal Summoned, so they depend on the Metalmorph trap package

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 40 Main, 0 Extra, 0 Side; Terraforming Limited at 1 copy (legal); No Field Spells in the Main Deck (type spread: Effect 22, Trap 11, Spell 7); Only one Level 4 card (Summoner Monk) in the Main Deck; Boss ATK 2400-3400 across five monsters; All 10 usage-stat core cards present
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher-text card in 5) ≈ 0.88 gives engine consistency; Max Metalmorph line and tribute-based summons as the deck's ceiling; Interaction density and going-second board breaking from card text; Recursion-based resilience from Time Engine, Scrap Garage and Incoming Machine!
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated sample or tournament link); Tournament reliability and post-side performance (no win-rate data)
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed The deck title is null, and resolved_by is not stated in the evidence
