Dark World Deck #409474 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fiend beatdown and recursion-driven boards: Reign-Beaux, Grapha, Bigfoot and Sillva put 2700-3000 ATK bodies on board off Dark World discard and Special Summon chains.; Link and Xyz pressure from Underworld Goddess, Security Dragon and Masquerena, with Number 38 as a late-game negation and attack-redirect piece.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Danger! monsters and Dark Corridor or Genta to reach a Dark World starter, then convert through discard-to-GY Special Summons into a Reign-Beaux or Grapha board. The forbidden cards must be removed before this plan is legal.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-to-GY discard turns (Snoww, Sillva, Ceruli) to answer the opponent's board, then Grapha or Reign-Beaux to rebuild. Weak against a board with no discard triggers because there are no hand traps.
• Recovery: Recursion from GY via Reign-Beaux, Grapha and Ceruli Special Summons, plus Dark World Archives draw and discard value.
• After siding: None. The deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck's Dark World searchers (16 searcher-text copies, about 0.94 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand) make the core engine likely to go live, and the discard-to-GY Special Summon chains give it real recursion and board presence. Its ceiling comes from Reign-Beaux, Grapha and Bigfoot, but no recorded boards exist, so conversion and median output rest on text reading only. Interaction is thin: there are no hand traps, no negation text on the main deck, and two forbidden cards would remove interaction from the Extra Deck. The score is capped because the list is illegal (Triple Tactics Talent, Knightmare Gryphon, Dugares, Saryuja and Bagooska are Forbidden, and Allure of Darkness is over its Limited count), so this is a theoretical structural read only; popularity and archetype share earned no points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); no side deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal list: 0.80*Structural(49) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 46.2, then context modifiers -16 and a legality cap to 30; theoretical/structural read only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · 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

• Dark World searcher density gives a high chance of reaching a starter (Inferred)
• Recursion through discard-to-GY Special Summons gives board presence after removal (Inferred)
• Large Fiend ATK bodies such as Reign-Beaux and Bigfoot give closing power (Verified stat)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: five Forbidden cards and an over-limit Limited card (Verified)
• No hand traps, floodgates or main-deck negation, so going-second interaction is thin (Verified)
• No side deck and no recorded boards, so there is no measured floor or post-side plan (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Dark World starter access depends on a small set of searchers and discard enablers, so losing them breaks the line (Inferred)
• Forbidden Extra Deck cards force a rebuild of the Extra Deck before the deck is playable (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: five Forbidden cards and Allure of Darkness over its Limited count (Verified); Composition: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side (Verified); Searcher-text count 16 and P(at least one in 5) 0.94 (Verified from evidence)
• Inferred: Engine consistency and brick estimates (Inferred); Going-second weakness from the absence of hand traps (Inferred); Recursion and interaction reads from card text (Inferred)
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit, which need a dated metagame sample (Provisional); Median and floor output, with no recorded boards (Provisional)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta share and pilot match record are absent no win-rate or matchup telemetry exists in YGOVN deck title is null list is illegal, so no normal Final Contextual score is possible
