Blackwings Deck #430271 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: 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: Link and Fusion boards built from Dark World, Danger! and Kaiju searches (Grapha, Dragon Overlord; Reign-Beaux; Danger! Bigfoot!) closing through 3000-ATK monsters; Going-second recovery through Snoww, Genta and Dark World recursion into a Link board
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Dark World engine piece with The Gates of Dark World, Genta or Dark Corridor, then extend into a Link Summon from Extra Deck.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird and the hand traps to slow the opponent, then rebuild through Dark World recursion.
• Recovery: Dark World monsters return from the Graveyard through their own effects (Reign-Beaux, Grapha) to rebuild a board after one interruption.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in the TCG format: it runs three Forbidden cards and several over-limit Limited cards, so it is scored as theoretical and structural only. Its Dark World searchers (17 searcher-text cards, P of at least one in a 5-card hand about 0.86, Inferred) give it a reasonable chance of opening a starter, and its Link and Fusion Extra Deck covers several board routes. Interaction is broad (Dark Ruler No More, Harpie's Feather Duster, Skill Drain, Lightning Storm, Eradicator Epidemic Virus), but most of it is restricted. The score does not come from the popularity of the Blackwings name, which is off-archetype for most of the 70 non-exact-name copies, and it does not come from averaging card scores. No combos, no tournament link and no side deck were supplied, so the median and floor are Inferred and the matchup score is Provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then banlist-exposure modifier; illegal-deck cap applied

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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 (17 searcher-text cards) gives strong starter access on paper
• Extra Deck covers multiple Link and Fusion routes
• Broad negation and removal suite, 3 hand traps

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts and Forbidden cards
• Heavy off-archetype spread (70 copies) hurts engine coherence
• No side deck
• No combo or tournament data

Critical choke points

• Dark World searchers and the Dark Corridor / Gates starter line
• Grapha and Reign-Beaux recursion after one board interruption

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal: Forbidden and over-limit copies present; Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; Copy histogram 17 singles, 10 doubles, 6 triples; Extra Deck breakdown: 12 Link, 2 Fusion, 1 Xyz; Off-archetype copies 70 of 70 non-exact; Card stats and text as listed in evidence
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.86 (P ≥1 searcher in 5); Brick and conflict risk from off-archetype copies; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta power null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) without tournament data
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered
