Springans Deck #792820 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Synchro boss monsters (Tri-Brigade Arms Bucephalus II, Odin, Chaos Angel, Psychic End Punisher) built from hand-trap and tuner lines on the field; Toon board pressure through Toon World, Evil Box and Animimicat, when the Toon sub-engine is online
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter from the archetype core (about 78% at least one in five cards), search Toon or Tri-Brigade pieces, and hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Effect Veiler for the opponent's turn. Hand traps are weak on your own first turn, so the first turn often depends on one starter.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand (about 92% to hold a hand trap) to interrupt the opponent's first engine, then rebuild the board through Link Summons from the Extra Deck.
• Recovery: Recover through searchers (about 96% to see one in five cards) and Tri-Brigade graveyard banishes to re-summon Link monsters after an interruption.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-three play cannot be adjusted.

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from how its systems work together, not from averaging card power. Its main strength is interaction: 13 hand traps and 11 negation effects give it layered answers, which convert well when going second (about 92% to hold a hand trap in six cards). Its engine is reliable on paper: about 78% to open an archetype-core card in five cards and about 96% to open a searcher. Against that, it runs three sub-engines (Toon, Tri-Brigade and Springans), with only 1.8% of its cards from the exact archetype name, so starters often compete for the same hand and graveyard resources. Its going-first consistency is the weakest part, because hand traps are mostly dead on the player's own turn. Popularity did not add points, and no recorded boards were available, so no combo ceiling or median was measured. The Illegal copy limits cap the final score, and the score is theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 51 before modifiers; modifiers total -12 gives 39; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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

• Dense hand-trap and negation coverage (13 hand traps, 11 negation effects)
• Strong going-second interaction, with about 92% to hold a hand trap in six cards
• Searchers in about 96% of opening hands, which helps consistency
• Several 3500+ ATK Extra Deck bosses with graveyard recovery routes

Weaknesses

• Three sub-engines compete for the same resources
• Illegal copy counts: Perfect Toon World and Ash Blossom are over their limits
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Hand traps are weak on the first turn when going first

Critical choke points

• Going first, the one archetype starter must land on turn one
• Link Summons depend on specific Beast, Beast-Warrior and Winged Beast materials that the list does not reliably provide
• Perfect Toon World is needed for the Toon sub-engine but is illegal at 3 copies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, with copy-limit violations for Perfect Toon World and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring; Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0; within size rules; Hand-trap count 13, searcher count 18, negation count 11, removal count 16, tech count 14; Exact archetype purity 1.8%; Extra Deck: 10 Link, 4 Synchro, 1 Fusion
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities for starters, searchers and hand traps; Engine conflicts across Toon, Tri-Brigade and Springans; Going-second advantage from hand-trap density; Board-breaking and closing power from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling come from text only No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second results are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck registered, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
