Runick (Mysterune) Deck #392355 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Link/Fusion mechanic
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Fusion pressure from Sky Striker Ace and Runick Extra Deck monsters, enabled by Quick-Play spell turns that skip the next Battle Phase.; Sky Striker Ace - Kagari and Shizuku gain ATK and drain board presence from the Spells in the Graveyard, so a long game can still finish with a late Link.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Runick Tip or Runick Flashing Fire to add a Runick card or remove a Special Summoned monster, then Special Summon a Runick Fusion from the Extra Deck to build the Link board.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Runick Freezing Curses or Dark Ruler No More to shut down the opposing board, then rebuild with Sky Striker Mecha tokens and a Link Summon. Dimensional Barrier, which is Forbidden, is not usable in TCG.
• Recovery: Runick Fountain (only one legal copy) returns Quick-Play Runick spells from the Graveyard to the Deck and draws the same number of cards. Sky Striker Mecha effects refill the board when the Main Monster Zone is empty.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The list cannot be played as built: four Forbidden cards and three over-limit Semi-Limited or Limited cards make it Illegal, so the score is a theoretical structural read capped low. The main deck has only seven monsters, and the 44 Spells depend on Sky Striker and Runick conditions, so the deck often opens with spells it cannot use. The archetype core is reasonably likely to appear in an opening hand (about 78% for at least one core card, Inferred), which keeps the engine accessibility score in the middle. Interaction is dense (negations, removal Spells and the Runick turn-skip effects), which carries the end-board score, while the absence of a side deck and a recorded win or matchup record keep the consistency and format-fit scores low. The score comes from consistency, interaction and Extra Deck coverage across the whole system, not from averaging the individual card scores or from the archetype's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 35, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Theoretical structural only (list is Illegal): 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*44 + 0.20*35 - 12 ≈ 30; Meta Power provisional (null)

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 negation and removal coverage across the Runick and Sky Striker Spells
• Link and Fusion Extra Deck with a cohesive Sky Striker and Runick theme
• Quick-Play Spells can be used at instant speed on the opponent's turn

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: four Forbidden cards and three over-limit cards
• Only 7 Main Deck monsters, so most hands depend on Spells that need a condition
• No side deck and no recorded boards or match data

Critical choke points

• Runick and Sky Striker Spells need an empty Main Monster Zone, so a single monster on board blocks much of the line
• Fusion and Link summons need Extra Deck access; most of the engine has no alternative if the Link monster is negated

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 55, Extra Deck 15, Side Deck 0 (legal size); Four Forbidden cards and three over-limit cards from the legality check; Card text for the Runick and Sky Striker Spells and Link monsters
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency and the 78% core-card estimate; Brick rate and the going-first and going-second estimates; Interaction quality from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated meta sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so the archetype meta share and match record are absent No win-rate telemetry, so going-first, going-second and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck, so post-side adaptability is unmeasured
