Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss creatures reached through Lady of Lament and Bystial engines, with Starving Venom Fusion Dragon (2800 ATK, 2 copies) and Predaplant Triphyoverutum (3000 ATK) as the main closers in the list.; Bystial Baldrake and Bystial Druiswurm (2500 ATK each) as Main Deck beaters, backed by Darkest Diabolos (3000 ATK).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Lair of Darkness, Ahrima and Alice-style searches to set up Lady of Lament bodies, then protect the board with Infinite Impermanence or Evenly Matched. The text read supports this line but no recorded boards confirm it.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched) and Full Force Virus or Eradicator Epidemic Virus to break the opponent's board, then rebuild with Bystial and Lady of Lament bodies. Four hand traps give roughly a 38% chance of at least one in a six-card hand.
• Recovery: Recursion comes from Alice, Malice and Bystial Magnamhut, plus Metaverse and Terraforming for field spells. Those are real but thin, since the sub-archetypes do not share many enablers.
• After siding: Not evaluable. The list has no side deck (0 of 15 slots used).

Why it scores here

This list would reliably open its archetype core: the 19 core-family copies give roughly an 89% chance of at least one in a five-card opening hand (Inferred). Its real strength is interaction, with 28 removal-type effects, 4 hand traps and several Trap-based board wipes, which lifts interaction quality above the rest of the list. Conversion and median output are weak because no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only reads, and the list spreads across Lady of Lament, Bystial, Knightmare, Predaplant and Venom with only 6 exact-name Lady of Lament copies. The deck fails the legality check (Super Polymerization over the copy limit, Forbidden Knightmare Gryphon) and has no side deck, so it is capped at 30 as a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity did not earn points, and the score was built from the system's consistency, interaction and closing power, not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); no Side Deck (-3). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural(47) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + modifiers(-7) = 39. Meta is provisional. Capped at 30 because the list is Illegal, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• Broad interaction: 28 removal-type effects, 6 negation effects and 4 hand traps
• Core-family copies are likely to appear in the opening hand (~89% for at least one)
• Extra Deck bosses reach 2500–3000 ATK, with Starving Venom and Predaplant as the main closers

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Super Polymerization over its copy limit, and a Forbidden Knightmare Gryphon in the Extra Deck
• No side deck (0 of 15 slots), so no post-side plan
• Only 6 exact-name Lady of Lament copies; the remaining sub-archetypes share few enablers
• Many 1-copy tech Traps dilute hand consistency

Critical choke points

• Lady of Lament starter presence in the opening hand
• Knightmare Gryphon's Forbidden status (the Extra Deck card cannot be played as listed)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: Super Polymerization 3 copies vs 2 legal; Knightmare Gryphon Forbidden; Main Deck 55 cards, Extra Deck 15, Side Deck 0; 28 removal-type effects and 6 negation effects in card text
• Inferred: About 89% chance of at least one core-family card in a five-card opening hand; About 38% chance of at least one hand trap in a six-card hand; Interaction quality is the deck's strongest dimension; Consistency and pilotability scores
• Provisional: Matchup fit and meta standing (no dated metagame sample or tournament link); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only reads No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot results are absent No win-rate telemetry, so going-first/second and matchup results are not measured No side deck, so post-side plans cannot be assessed Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
