Runick (Mysterune) Deck #407535 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Stun
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• 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: Runick Fusion/Link/Xyz boards built from Quick-Play Runick spells, closed by Lava Golem and the Runick Fangs/Wings in the Extra Deck; Floodgate lock (Skill Drain, Crackdown, Dimensional Fissure, Grave of the Super Ancient Organism) while the Runick extra-summon engine runs underneath
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Runick Tip, Runick Freezing Curses or Runick Flashing Fire to remove an opposing monster and Special Summon a Runick from the Extra Deck; keep Solemn Judgment or Skill Drain up as the floodgate; the lock pieces are Inspector Boarder and Skill Drain
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ghost Belle or Evenly Matched as a hand trap on the first summon, then play Runick Slumber or Runick Destruction to remove the board and summon a Runick Fusion
• Recovery: Runick Fountain recycles Quick-Play Runick spells from the GY to the bottom of the Deck and draws; Pot of Duality and Pot of Desires add draw depth; Runick Dispelling and Freki/Munin recover through the GY
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan in the evidence

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal: five Forbidden cards and two over-limit cards (Solemn Judgment 3 copies and Runick Fountain 2 copies), so it is scored on structure only and capped at 25 rather than receiving a normal Final score. Scored as a system, the deck reliably produces a Runick Quick-Play line with a 3-copy spell core, and the Extra Deck gives it a varied set of summons. Its interaction density (Solemn, Skill Drain, Dimensional Fissure, and the Forbidden floodgates that were counted) lifts the end-board score, but that lift depends on cards that cannot legally be run. Consistency is held back by 46 zero-level cards, 27 tech cards, and a single bricking-prone Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode that cannot be Special Summoned, so it is dead in most hands. No combo boards, win rates or tournament results exist, so the floor and median are estimates; the score does not reflect archetype popularity and the card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 75/25 Stun/Combo. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-10); Engine compactness (-2); Illegal list cap (-8). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-12) = 33.6, capped at 25 because the list is Illegal; Meta provisional (null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Quick-Play Runick spells with removal and Extra Deck summon options
• Layered end-board interaction: Solemn Judgment, Skill Drain, Dimensional Fissure and floodgates
• Varied Extra Deck (Fusion, Link, Xyz) with multiple Runick routes
• Draw and recycle depth from Runick Fountain and the Pots

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: five Forbidden cards and two over-limit cards
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• 46 zero-level cards and 27 tech cards dilute consistency
• Winged Dragon of Ra - Sphere Mode cannot be Special Summoned and needs 3 Tributes, so it is a dead card in most hands
• Floodgates can lock the player's own engine as well as the opponent's

Critical choke points

• Runick Quick-Play spells: a single hand with no Runick spell has no Extra Deck summon route
• Solemn Judgment and the Forbidden floodgates cannot be run legally in TCG

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status with 5 Forbidden cards and 2 over-limit cards; Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within size rules; Card text for the Runick core and floodgates; Hypergeometric draw odds for 3-copy and 2-copy cards
• Observed: Usage statistics show Runick core cards at 100% inclusion
• Inferred: Structural dimension scores D1 to D14; Floodgate and interaction read from text; Strategy classification (Stun primary, Combo and Toolbox secondary)
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup/format fit (no dated metagame)
• Data gaps: No parseable combos: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates No Side Deck, so post-side adaptability cannot be scored Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
