Crusadia Deck #428906 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Crusadia Link beatdown: Link Summon Crusadia Link monsters (Equimax, Regulex, Magius, Spatha) and attack through the field, with Crusadia Revival/Testament/Power as support (Inferred from card text).; Kaiju boss monsters (Thunder King, Jizukiru, Gadarla, Dogoran, Gameciel) Special Summoned by tributing an opponent's monster, when the opponent has a monster on the field (Inferred from card text).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Crusadia monster and Special Summon a Crusadia monster into a Link zone, then Link Summon toward Crusadia Equimax or Regulex (Inferred, no recorded boards).
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold the Kaiju monsters and Raigeki/Lightning Storm; Kaiju require an opponent monster before they can be Special Summoned, so the second-player plan depends on the opponent's first board (Inferred).
• Recovery: Recur Crusadia monsters through Crusadia Revival and the GY-based Link Special Summons; the recovery path is text-based only (Inferred).
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so no post-side plan can be evaluated; this is a best-of-3 gap.

Why it scores here

The deck's Crusadia core (22 copies, P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.99 for the group) gives it a high chance of having a Crusadia monster early, which supports the engine-access score. The Link-Summon structure, redundant Link-zone summoners and the Extra Deck's 13 Link monsters support the closing and Extra Deck scores. Hand interaction is limited to Raigeki, Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster, and six single-copy Kaiju monsters that need an opponent monster before they can be summoned, which lowers the going-first and brick scores. The deck is illegal: three Kashtira Fenrir, Called by the Grave and Number 60 are Forbidden in OCG, so the score is capped at 25 and labelled structural-only. No recorded boards, no side deck and no dated meta sample exist, so the score does not come from averaging card scores or from the archetype's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (disclosed; the Toolbox weights were not blended into the calculation). Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); raw result 33 is capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Crusadia core is repeatable with 3-copy Link-zone summoners
• Extra Deck is compact and Link-based (13 Link monsters)
• Several 3300 to 2700 ATK Kaiju bosses for closing

Weaknesses

• Three Forbidden OCG cards make the list illegal
• Six single-copy Kaiju monsters are dead without an opponent monster
• No side deck
• Hand interaction is thin (no hand traps)

Critical choke points

• Crusadia Link zones: removing or negating a Link monster collapses the Link-zone summons
• Raigeki/Lightning Storm as the main board-breaking answer

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 40 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards are within OCG size rules; Kashtira Fenrir x3, Called by the Grave x1 and Number 60 x1 are Forbidden with 0 legal copies; Usage: Crusadia Maximus and Crusadia Arboria at 100 percent inclusion (3 copies each)
• Inferred: Crusadia core at least one in 5 cards ≈ 0.99 (hypergeometric); Kaiju bricks without opponent monsters; Link-zone summons give redundant starters
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated meta sample); Side deck performance (no side deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so no meta share or match record No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN No side deck registered (best-of-3 gap) Usage-statistics inconsistency: S:P Little Knight, I:P Masquerena, Crusadia Regulex x2, Crusadia Equimax x2, Mekk-Knight Crusadia Avramax, Accesscode Talker and Crusadia Magius x3 are listed in the card list but marked in this deck:false in usage statistics. The core-card presence of 40 is therefore understated and the Extra Deck match in usage statistics looks unreliable Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
