Legality
Main 40 / Extra 8 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Extra Deck Xyz/Link boards (Zoodiac, Ghostrick, Magistus) fed by Bamboo Sword draw-and-equip value; Original Bamboo Sword destroys the opponent's monsters on battle damage; Direct attacks enabled by Cursed Bamboo Sword's return-to-hand effect
- Turn 1 (going first): Open Royal Magical Library, Upstart Goblin or Golden Bamboo Sword to draw into a playable Xyz or equip line; Double Summon enables two Normal Summons
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Magical Hound and the draw spells to find a board-breaker or Xyz starter; no hand traps are in the list, so the plan relies on Allure of Darkness and Chicken Game
- Recovery: Recycle Bamboo Swords from the GY via Cursed Bamboo Sword and Golden Bamboo Sword, and rebuild with Into the Void or Royal Magical Library draws
- After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan
Why it scores here
This deck is Illegal: Allure of Darkness is run 2 copies against a copy limit of 1, so the evaluation is structural-only and capped at 30. Structurally it is a draw-heavy Toolbox shell: Royal Magical Library, Upstart Goblin, Golden Bamboo Sword and Into the Void give strong resource gain and grind (D6 60), and the core starters reach a hand at about 34% for 3-copy cards on the play (Inferred). Engine coherence is the main weakness: only 7 of 40 Main Deck cards are exact Bamboo Sword names (14.6% exact purity), the Extra Deck splits across Zoodiac, Ghostrick and Magistus, and 27 level-0 spells create a high brick and dead-draw risk. No combo boards, tournament results, side deck or win-rate telemetry are available, so the ceiling, median and post-side scores are text-based estimates. The score reflects the deck as a system; archetype popularity earned no points and card scores were not averaged.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 55 | P(>=1 of a 3-copy starter in 5-card opening hand) ~0.34; archetype core group P(>=1 in hand) ~0.99; searcher text group ~0.64 (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 45 | 27 level-0 spells and several draw-only spells (Upstart Goblin, Into the Void, Royal Magical Library) without a board are dead in many hands; no hand traps (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 45 | No parseable boards in combo data; ceiling is text-only inference from Xyz summons and Original Bamboo Sword destruction (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No recorded boards, so median output cannot be measured; estimate from draw-heavy structure with thin board presence (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 45 | Recursion exists via Cursed and Golden Bamboo Sword plus Magical Hound, but there is no second independent line from the starter set (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 60 | Strong draw density (Royal Magical Library, Upstart Goblin, Into the Void, Golden Bamboo Sword) and GY recursion of Bamboo Swords (Inferred from text) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 40 | Removal and negation text is present (8 removal, 3 negation text hits), but there are 0 hand traps and 0 floodgates (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 35 | Original Bamboo Sword destroys all opposing monsters on battle damage, and Chicken Game is a non-engine card, but there is no hand trap for going second (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 45 | Ghostrick Angel of Mischief win condition at 10 Xyz materials, plus Zoodiac Boarbow board size; no recorded end-board data (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 50 | 40-card Main Deck with 21 distinct cards and 3-copy stacks; only 14.6% exact archetype purity and 26 generic spells (Observed from composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 40 | 8 Extra Deck slots split across Zoodiac (4 cards), Ghostrick (2), Magistus (1) and Chaos/other lines, so no single Extra Deck engine is reinforced (Inferred) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | Side Deck is empty (0 cards); no post-side adaptability (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament data and no dated metagame sample; only archetype usage stats exist (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 50 | Draw-chain and Xyz sequencing is moderately complex with several decision points, but single-card lines are common (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*44 + 0.20*35 = 42.2 structural-blend before cap; Illegal deck capped at 30 (theoretical/structural-only); Meta provisional (null)
