Deck Vanquish Soul #712563 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synergistic attribute-based combo lines into board với negation/removal layering; Going-second board-breaking via Super Polymerization and hand-trap coverage
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Vanquish Soul core or K9 Cấp độ-5 starters into XYZ/Link boards với interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-traps into Super Polymerization and board-breakers; Mulcharmy draw effects in empty-field recovery
• Recovery: Vanquish Soul attribute-reveal mechanics and K9 graveyard revival enable re-engagement after disruption
• After siding: No side deck available; structural weakness to format adaptation

Why it scores here

This Vanquish Soul hybrid opens 1 functional engine roughly 95% of the time via strong searcher density and multi-attribute starters, converting to boards với XYZ negation and removal interaction. The deck executes moderate combo lines (median estimated ~2–3 summons per starter) and survives one interruption through attribute-reveal recursion and K9 graveyard effects, though lacks secondary independent routes. Heavy reliance on hand-trap density and Super Polymerization for going-second makes the floor fragile when disrupted early. No side deck severely limits format adaptability, and the extra-heavy tech/splash ratios (24.3% Vanquish Soul purity, 11 hand-traps in 55 main) create tension between consistency and coverage.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 59. Modifiers: No Side Deck (-4); High Tech Density (-2); Going-Second Strength (+2). Final formula: 0.80Structural + 0.20TournamentReliability (Meta provisional; no dated metagame supplied)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening 1 starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter 2.5
• Turn order: — going-first lines vs — going-second lines

Strengths

• Very high opening-hand consistency (95%+ core live) due to searcher density and redundant starters
• Strong going-second option via Super Polymerization + hand-trap suite and Mulcharmy draw recovery
• Flexible attribute-reveal mechanics enable multiple win conditions and evasion lines
• XYZ negation board (K9-17 Ripper + Number 104 cascade) provides meaningful interaction
• K9 and Bystial engines enable graveyard recursion and recovery after disruption

Weaknesses

• No side deck severely limits post-game adaptation and format-specific tech
• Median combo output is moderate (estimated 2–3 summons); ceiling is not frequent
• Limited independent lines after first interruption; Vanquish Soul and K9 engines rely on hand composition
• Oversized 55-card main deck increases garnet density and hand-quality variance
• High tech/splash ratio (11 hand-traps, Mulcharmy, Bystial splashes) dilutes core consistency and focus
• Going-first board not inherently durable; reliant on opponent interaction density for attribute-reveal payoffs

Critical choke points

• No side deck forces the deck to rely on maindeck tech that may not align với the metagame
• K9 and Vanquish Soul attribute synergies require specific hand composition; brick rate spikes vớiout them
• Called by the Grave, Bystial dragons, and K9-66a Jokul are Limited copies; forced to run exactly 1
• If opening hand has multiple hand-traps but no core starter, deck cannot pivot to combo line
• Mulcharmy effects only trigger in empty-field state; single established board negates the recovery engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal (all copy limits met, no size violations); 12 restricted cards all vớiin limits (1x Limited/Semi-Limited); Card text excerpts resolve (Ash Blossom negation, K9-17 Izuna hand-check, Super Polymerization, Vanquish Soul attribute-reveal mechanics); Usage statistics available: 56% core cards present (14 of 25)
• Observed: Extra Deck composition: 8 XYZ, 4 Link, 3 Fusion; Copy histogram: 10 3-ofs, 3 2-ofs, 19 1-ofs; no banned cards over-run
• Inferred: Archetype core P(≥1 opener in 5) ≈ 95.1% via hypergeometric (core group 24 copies, 13 openers); Full brick estimate ~8–9% (hand với 3+ hand-traps, no searcher/starter, no Mulcharmy/K9); Median combo output 2–3 summons per starter (no parsed boards; estimated from card-text mechanics and K9/Vanquish Soul interaction depth); Interruption resilience floor 54: limited independent lines; attribute-reveal recovery is slow and conditional; Going-first power 64: strong opening consistency but no inherent board durability; relies on opponent interaction; Going-second power 68: Super Polymerization triple and hand-trap density create viable turn-2; Mulcharmy draw on empty field is 1 secondary win condition; Tournament reliability 59: opening-hand stability offset by brick risk and single-choke-point dependency on hand composition
• Provisional: Meta Power null: no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share unknown; Format fit unknown: deck runs heavy tech (11 hand-traps, Mulcharmy, Bystial splashes) suggesting meta-awareness, but effectiveness cannot be confirmed
• Data gaps: No parsed combo boards — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference; chỉ số sức mạnh cao nhất unknown No tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No side deck (0 cards) — cannot evaluate post-game adaptability or meta-specific adjustments No win-rate telemetry — going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates all Inferred or Unknown No guides attached — strategic intent and tech choices inferred from card selection alone
