Why it scores here

This deck scores extremely low because it is structurally illegal (21-card extra deck, forbidden cards, copy-limit violations) and fundamentally broken as a system. It claims the "Nemeses" archetype but runs zero of its core cards, instead mixing Mitsurugi rituals, Orcust links, and Fiendsmith tech into a disjointed hybrid. Without staple draw engines like Pot of Desires or consistent starters, the ritual strategy bricks frequently, and the absence of parseable combo data confirms a lack of reliable conversion. While the hand-trap suite and negation density provide some interaction, the overall consistency, resource economy, and format alignment are severely compromised. Popularity metrics were ignored as the list deviates entirely from viable archetype standards.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced. Structural ≈ 22, Going First ≈ 25, Going Second ≈ 20, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 15. Modifiers: Illegal Status & Copy Limit Violations (-4); Archetype Mismatch & Missing Core (-3); No Side Deck (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Strong hand-trap suite (11 copies) for going-second disruption
• High negation density via traps and boss monsters
• Multiple ritual boss monsters with high ATK and protective effects

Weaknesses

• Illegal status: 21-card extra deck, forbidden cards, copy-limit violations
• Zero core cards for the tagged archetype; fragmented hybrid design
• Severe resource strain due to ritual requirements and lack of draw engines
• No side deck provided, eliminating post-side adaptability
• Absence of parseable combo data indicates unreliable board construction

Critical choke points

• Ritual Tribute Costs without Pot of Desires or consistent starters
• Missing archetype core forces reliance on disjointed search lines
• Extra deck bloat (21 cards) prevents focused play patterns

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Illegal; Extra deck size: 21 > 15; Forbidden cards run: Archnemeses Protos, King of the Feral Imps; Core archetype presence: 0%; Side deck count: 0
• Inferred: P(searcher ≥1) ≈ 0.94; Hand trap density: 11 copies; Ritual resource strain without draw spells; Fragmented engine cohesion across Mitsurugi/Orcust/Fiendsmith
• Provisional: Matchup format fit; Meta Power
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference 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
