Deck Ally of Justice #604253 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Synchro-Midrange Control
• Secondary strategies: Grind, Floodgate Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — trạng thái theo luật lúc đánh giá: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro summoning grind engine via Cấp độ 8 tuners + non-tuners; establish repeating board interaction through Tytannial negation and recursive Plant synchros; Floodgate-backed stun lines (Royal Decree, Non-Fusion Area, Jinzo) to lock opponent interaction while grinding resources
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon Lonefire/Dandylion/Phoenixian into Cấp độ 8 synchro (Stardust/Colossal Fighter/Red Dragon Archfiend); float interaction; pass với backrow floodgates
• Turn 2 (going second): Open Cyber Valley + removal/disruption to clear opponent board; synchro into Mist Wurm or Brionac bounce; recover via graveyard recursion
• Recovery: Miracle Fertilizer special summon from Mộ; Plaguespreader + Lonefire recursive lines; graveyard-fill via Lightsworn (Ryko, Lyla, Charge of the Light Brigade)
• After siding: No side deck present; theoretical adjustments would target meta matchups but cannot be evaluated

Why it scores here

This deck is Illegal in OCG (runs 3x Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis, 2x Dandylion, 1x Heavy Storm—all Forbidden). Evaluating structurally only: the list mixes Ally of Justice archetype intent với 1 Plant-Tuner synchro engine that conflicts in multiple ways. Only 48% of the archetype core is present; the Extra Deck is well-developed (15 diverse Synchro slots), but the Main Deck lacks focused starters—Lonefire/Dandylion are the primary engines, but 3x Phoenixian at 2200 ATK fills slots vớiout synergizing reliably. Trade-In, Hidden Armory, and Lightsworn generators provide draw/search, but inconsistent routing to the synchro lines. Going-first boards rely on repeatable negation (Tytannial) and graveyard float, but vớiout combo evidence or 1 side deck, resilience is unproven. Offensive ceiling is low (no piercing, no direct damage synergies). The deck is theoretically playable as 1 mid-tier grinding control shell but suffers from brick risk, non-archetype purity, banlist violations, and missing core extra cards.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 35, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 28. Modifiers: Illegality penalty (-15); Archetype purity misalignment (-5); Missing Extra-Deck core (-3); No side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck capped; theoretical Structural 0.80*35 + 0.20*28 = 33 → reduced to 28 due to banlist violations and structural instability. Meta = Provisional (no dated sample).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening 1 starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.59 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.38 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.15 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Extra Deck is comprehensive and legal: 15 Synchro monsters với flexible Cấp độ coverage (4–9) for diverse summoning lines
• Lightsworn engine (Ryko, Lyla, Charge of Light Brigade) provides consistent graveyard setup and mild draw acceleration
• Recursion loops (Miracle Fertilizer, Plaguespreader Zombie, graveyard-fill synergies) enable multi-turn grinding and recovery
• Floodgate density (Royal Decree, Non-Fusion Area, Shadow/Light-Imprisoning Mirror) can lock specific matchups if resolved correctly
• Tytannial repeatable targeting negate provides on-theme interaction; high ATK (2800) survives some trades

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: 3× Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis (Forbidden), 2× Dandylion (Forbidden), 1× Heavy Storm (Forbidden) — deck cannot be played in sanctioned formats
• Archetype misalignment: only 1.4% exact Ally of Justice cards; deck plays as generic Plant-Tuner synchro, not 1 focused archetype shell
• Low engine consistency: primary starters (Lonefire, Dandylion) compete for Triệu hồi bình thường slot; 3× Phoenixian clogs vớiout clear synergy; estimated brick rate 12–18%
• Missing core Extra-Deck monsters: Colossal Fighter, Thought Ruler Archfiend, Stardust Dragon, Scrap Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, Ancient Fairy Dragon all absent, capping best-line power
• Weak offensive ceiling: no piercing, no direct damage, no OTK synergies; closing power relies on grind attrition and chip damage
• Single-choke-point lines: primary synchro summon route through Lonefire/Dandylion; one interruption (ash blooming Lonefire) ends most lines
• No side deck: 0 cards; zero adaptability in best-of-3; tournament reliability severely compromised
• Conflicting summoning costs: Tytannial and Phoenixian both Hiến tế 1 or require special summon conditions; Triệu hồi bình thường tuner often competes với Lonefire setup
• mộ dependence: Miracle Fertilizer and recursion require established Mộ state; opening hands vớiout draw/mill are vulnerable to banish strategies

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Illegal (3 Forbidden cards present: Phoenixian Cluster Amaryllis ×3, Dandylion ×2, Heavy Storm ×1); Main/Extra/Side deck sizes: 55/15/0 (non-standard main; illegal); Card text: all card excerpts confirmed from resolved card database; Archetype purity: 1.4% exact Ally of Justice name cards (verified from composition); Extra Deck breakdown: 15 legal Synchro monsters (verified from zone and frame flags); Restricted cards present: 3 Forbidden (verified trạng thái banlist field)
• Observed: Lightsworn searcher/mill density: 4 distinct Lightsworn cards (Ryko, Lyla, Charge, implicitly supporting deck grind pattern); Floodgate card density: 9 cards với negation or floodgate tags (Shadow-Imprisoning Mirror, Light-Imprisoning Mirror, Royal Decree, Non-Fusion Area, Solemn Judgment, Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute, Scrap-Iron Scarecrow, Jinzo)
• Inferred: Consistency P(≥1 Plant starter in hand 5) ≈ 0.59 (hypergeometric from Lonefire 2×, Dandylion 2×, Phoenixian 3×; Dandylion Forbidden so effective = Lonefire + Phoenixian only); Brick estimate 12–18% (no starter + no draw/mill + Triệu hồi bình thường conflict); Combo ceiling: Lonefire → Tuner synchro (Cấp độ 8) + Tytannial negate + one backrow = 3–4 interaction pieces (inferred from card text, no boards supplied); Combo floor / median: stalled at 1 Synchro + 1 negation vớiout second independent line (inferred from single tuner/starter choke point); Going-first power ~42 (moderate interaction, graveyard setup, but no explosive board); Going-second power ~38 (Cyber Valley draw, Ryko/Lyla removal, Brionac bounce; moderate offensive conversion); Tournament reliability ~28 (high brick risk, no side deck, missing core Extra, banlist exposure)
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share unknown; deck deviates from Ally of Justice core 48% present pct); Matchup coverage: cannot assess vớiout dated meta sample or explicit matchup testing data; Post-side adaptation: 0 side cards means theoretical; best-of-3 reliability is severely limited
• Data gaps: No combo boards supplied: best/median/ceiling is text-only inference; no observed power distribution for turncounts or resource economy No tournament context: archetype meta-share, per-pilot match records, and win-rate telemetry absent; Meta Power = Provisional No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN: going-first vs going-second rates, matchup-specific performance, brick rates, starter rates, OTK rates not available; all consistency/resilience claims are Inferred No guides provided: strategic intent, sideboard plans, piloting notes absent; pilotability scored on card complexity only Banlist legality unresolved: deck is Illegal as submitted; hypothetical legal reconstruction would require new evidence pass Side deck absent: 0 cards; post-side power and matchup adaptation cannot be evaluated
