Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Ritual or Extra Deck boss (Gishki Zielgigas, Evigishki Neremanas, Divine Arsenal, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Tri-Brigade Arms Bucephalus II) summoned through Gishki Ritual Spells and Gishki/Aquamirror searches; Link and Xyz beats from the 7 Link and 5 Xyz Extra Deck monsters, with Marincess and Code Talker support
  • Turn 1 (going first): Search a Gishki monster with Gishki Abyss, Gishki Vision or Salvage, then Ritual Summon a boss with a Gishki Aquamirror or Nekromirror. Hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Droll-style cards) protect the setup.
  • Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru and Artifact Lancea to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild through Focused Aquamirror and the Ritual Spells. Text-only read, not tested.
  • Recovery: Salvage and Focused Aquamirror return Gishki monsters from the GY; Gishki Aquamirror can shuffle back from the GY to revive a Ritual boss.
  • After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan (not evaluable).

Why it scores here

The deck's core engine is real: 14 copies of the Gishki/Evigishki archetype core give an estimated 78% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). The Ritual chain and the 16 searcher-text cards suggest it can reach a boss from most hands, but the score rests on structure, not measured boards, because no combos were supplied. Interaction is broad (11 hand-trap-tagged cards, 8 negation-text cards), but it is spread across tech cards with few copies each, so it adds layers without guaranteeing a clean answer. The list is Illegal in OCG: three copies of Droll & Lock Bird exceed the Limited cap, and Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent are Forbidden. Under the legality rule the deck is capped and labelled structural-only; popularity and archetype usage were not counted as power, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 65 P(at least one of 14 Gishki core copies in a 5-card hand) = 0.78; ritual chain estimated to be live by turn 2 (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 50 Many 1-copy tech and hand-trap slots and ritual-dependent Gishki monsters create dead-card risk; no brick rate measured (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 60 Boss ceiling from Gishki Zielgigas, Evigishki Neremanas and Extra Deck Xyz/Link finishers, from card text only; no recorded boards (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 45 No combo boards, so the median output is unknown and set conservatively (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 50 11 hand-trap-tagged cards and 2 Nibiru give several answers, but few independent lines are confirmed (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 60 16 searcher-text cards and Salvage/Focused Aquamirror recursion support rebuilding after interaction (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 60 8 negation-text cards and 3 Infinite Impermanence give layered interaction; no durability data (Inferred)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 55 Nibiru, Artifact Lancea and Dimensional Barrier challenge a board going second; no going-second split recorded (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 60 High-ATK bosses (Neremanas 3000, Zielgigas 3200, Bucephalus II 3500) give closing power, but no end-board data exists (Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 45 Only 27 distinct main-deck cards, but archetype purity is 27% and many slots are generic tech (Verified structure, Inferred score)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 65 15 Extra Deck slots with 7 Link, 5 Xyz, 2 Fusion and 1 Synchro give broad coverage, though several require specific materials (Verified structure)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 20 No side deck is registered, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured (Verified, scored low)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No dated meta sample or tournament link; format fit is unknown (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 45 Ritual summoning, Xyz/Link material routing and multiple tech cards make the deck demanding to pilot (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Structural 55 and TR 45 give 0.80*55 + 0.20*45 = 53; minus 12 for banlist exposure gives 41; Illegal cap applied, final score 40 (theoretical/structural-only, Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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

  • Core archetype density (14 copies, 78% at least one in hand 5)
  • Multiple searchers (16 searcher-text cards) and recursion through Salvage and Focused Aquamirror
  • Several Extra Deck bosses with high ATK and varied summon routes

Weaknesses

  • Illegal list: over copy limit for Droll & Lock Bird, and two Forbidden cards
  • No side deck, so no post-side plan
  • Many 1-copy tech slots with low purity (27%) and no combo data

Critical choke points

  • Ritual Summon chain depends on Gishki Ritual Spells and specific Ritual monsters
  • Forbidden or Limited card errors would remove key interaction if fixed
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden) and 2 of the 3 Droll & Lock Bird copies Legal OCG replacements in the archetype core, such as more Gishki searchers or Ritual Spells Fixing legality is required before the deck can receive a normal score.
2 Single-copy tech cards with weak link to the engine Side deck for the Gishki/Aquamirror plan A side deck is needed for post-side adaptability (D12).

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Deck is Illegal: 3x Droll & Lock Bird (Limited, cap 1), Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden); Main 55 and Extra 15 fall within OCG size rules; Side 0; Archetype core 14 copies; archetype purity 27.1%
  • Inferred: At least one core card in hand 5 is about 78%; Brick and interaction estimates from card text and role tags; Combo floor, median and ceiling are from text only
  • Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) has no data
  • Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry for this deck no side deck registered
