Dark Magician: Rush! Deck #450261 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Rush Duel Sevens

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 42/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: OTK
• Format: rush-duel-sevens

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: OTK via Rush Duel high-damage combo lines with Dark Magician engine; Grind via repeated search and recovery loops
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Shark Magic Combo or core engine starters to establish board and fill hand; unknown specific boards due to missing combo data
• Turn 2 (going second): Limited; Rush Duel format favors aggressive turn-1 setups; deck composition suggests going-second role is weak
• Recovery: Searcher-text cards (3 copies, 43% opening hand draw rate) maintain hand resources; unknown recursion due to unresolved card text
• After siding: No side deck supplied; unable to assess adaptation strategy

Why it scores here

This deck is severely hampered by unresolved card text for 14 of 15 distinct cards, making systematic evaluation impossible. The resolved Shark Magic Combo Skill Card (100 copies in-format, 43% opening draw rate) provides a searcher + special-summon utility, but the archetype core is only 36% present versus the 14-card archetype standard, missing high-inclusion cards at 83–100% adoption. No combo evidence exists, forcing ceiling and floor estimates from text inference alone; the deck claims an OTK strategy but without boards or damage calculations, real closing power is unknown. Rush Duel format heavily rewards going-first aggressive setups and extended combo lines, both of which cannot be verified here. The 30-card minimum main deck with 7 distinct single-copy cards introduces brick variance, and zero Extra Deck coverage eliminates a standard resource layer for Rush Duel plays.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.70 Combo + 0.30 OTK. Structural ≈ 38, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 28, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 32. Modifiers: Unresolved card text penalty (-6); Archetype core deficit (-3); Single-copy variance risk (-2). Final formula: 0.80 * Structural (38) + 0.20 * TournamentReliability (32) + 0 ContextModifiers = 42 (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.14 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Shark Magic Combo Skill provides consistent searcher utility (100% archetype inclusion, 43% opening hand)
• 30-card minimum main deck is compact for Rush Duel format
• Archetype (Dark Magician: Rush!) documented with 1 guide snippet suggesting OTK potential and strategic coherence

Weaknesses

• 14 of 15 distinct cards (93%) are unresolved; systematic evaluation impossible
• Only 36% of archetype core present; missing 9 cards at 50–100% adoption (e.g., ref 842698 at 100%)
• No combo evidence; best/median/ceiling outputs completely unknown
• Seven single-copy cards in 30-card deck create high variance and brick risk
• Zero Extra Deck cards; possible resource bottleneck in Rush Duel format
• Going-second plan unknown; format/list structure suggests weak post-first-turn resilience

Critical choke points

• Shark Magic Combo is the only resolved starter; if disrupted or absent, recovery unclear (single choke point)
• Unresolved card text blocks access to recursion, protection, removal, and interaction layers
• Missing core cards (842698 at 100%, others at 83–50%) indicate material gap versus archetype baseline

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Legal with warning (30 main, 0 extra, 0 side; within Rush Duel: Sevens size rules); Shark Magic Combo (Skill Card) text resolved: searcher + special-summon utility, once-per-Duel gating on effects 2–4; Archetype: Dark Magician: Rush! (resolved); Format: Rush Duel: Sevens (format 11); Copy histogram: 7 singles, 1 two-of, 7 three-ofs
• Observed: Archetype core statistics: 14-card core set; this deck runs 5 of 14 (36%); 9 cards at 50–100% adoption missing
• Inferred: P(≥1 Shark Magic Combo in opening 5) = 43.35% (hypergeometric, 3-of in 30-card deck); Archetype core brick proxy = 14.28% (P(0 core cards in hand 5)); Combo ceiling unknown; OTK claim inferred from archetype guide snippet and Skill text pattern (send + add); Combo floor/median unknown; median output estimated at 35 due to limited visible lines; D1 Consistency ≈ 52: driven by 43% Skill draw rate but offset by 36% core presence and 7 single-copies; D5 Resilience ≈ 28: single-starter dependency; recursion/protection unknown; D7 Interaction ≈ 30: no negation or removal text visible in resolved card; D8 Going-Second ≈ 25: Rush Duel format aggressively favors turn-1; unresolved cards prevent assessment; Tournament Reliability ≈ 32: high brick variance from copy distribution and core deficit; unresolved combo depth unknown
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (no dated metagame sample; archetype meta-share unknown; Rush Duel: Sevens is niche format); D13 Matchup / Format Fit: 40 (archetype guide exists suggesting accessibility; Rush Duel: Sevens represents small metagame; deck fit unknown)
