Skull Servant Deck #433795 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: King of the Skull Servants and Wightprince/Wightprincess recursion from the Graveyard into a large-ATK Level 1 or 3 board, with piercing and direct damage from Wight Reanimator; Tri-Wight and Wightmare recursion of Level 2 or lower Normal Monsters and Skull Servants for chip damage and board refill
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Wight starter (Moissa Wight, Wightlord, Wightbaking or Wightprince) that searches a Skull Servant or Wight piece, then use the Graveyard-sent Skull Servant pieces to Special Summon King of the Skull Servants or Wightprincess
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle or Ghost Mourner as hand traps against the opponent's first Special Summon or search, then rebuild through Graveyard recursion (Wightmare, Wightbaking, Lady in Wight protection)
• Recovery: Use Graveyard-only effects (Skull Servant name change, Wightprince banish-two-to-summon-King, Wightmare banished revival) to rebuild after a board wipe
• After siding: No side deck is registered; there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The score reflects the deck as a system: 16 archetype core copies give about a 93.5% chance of at least one Wight or Skull Servant piece in a going-first opening hand, so the engine usually comes online early, and the Graveyard recursion loop (Wightbaking, Wightprince, Wightmare, King of the Skull Servants) turns discarded or destroyed pieces into follow-up pressure (Inferred). Seven hand traps and the Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle negation pair give roughly a 71% chance of at least one interaction card going second, which supports resilience and a credible going-second plan (Inferred). No combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates, and they are scored conservatively rather than from any recorded output. The Main Deck is only 32.5% exact-name archetype, with 16 generic cards and Wight sub-archetype cards filling the rest, which costs coherence and brick control. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not credited as power, and card scores were not averaged. The deck is Illegal (three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of two), so the final score is capped at 30 and labelled theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Toolbox (Midrange profile is primary; Toolbox adds the generic-card and interaction emphasis). Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-5). Final formula: Structural 57 → 0.80*57 + 0.20*48 = 55.2; modifiers −5 → 50; Illegal cap applied → 30 (theoretical and structural only). Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.06 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Engine starts reliably: 16 archetype core copies, about 93.5% chance of at least one in a going-first opening hand
• Graveyard recursion gives several routes to rebuild after interruption
• Seven hand traps and two negation pairs give going-second interaction

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No Side Deck registered, so no post-side adaptability
• Low exact-archetype purity (32.5%) with 16 generic cards diluting the engine
• No recorded boards to confirm combo ceiling or median output

Critical choke points

• Graveyard state: most recovery and summon routes depend on Skull Servant-named cards being in the Graveyard
• Ash Blossom overage: the list cannot be played legally until one copy is removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs legal limit 2 (Semi-Limited); Main 40, Extra 0, Side 0; Composition: 15 distinct Main Deck names, exact-archetype purity 32.5%; Archetype usage: 6 of 15 core cards present; King of the Skull Servants, Wightlord, Wightprince and Ash Blossom are in the list
• Inferred: Engine accessibility P ≈ 0.935 from hypergeometric draw odds; Hand-trap going-second probability ≈ 0.71; Graveyard recursion and interaction density from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no side deck registered — post-side plan cannot be evaluated no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
