Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira Fenrir and Kashtira Unicorn 2400-2500 ATK beaters plus Kashtira Shangri-Ira / DoomZ XII End - Drastrius Xyz boards (Inferred from card text); DoomZ Xyz boards from DoomZ Break - Diactorus and DoomZ XII End - Drastrius, with Medius the Pure as a search and recursion piece (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Kashtira starter (Fenrir or Unicorn, both Special Summonable when the field is empty), search a Kashtira monster or spell, then build toward an Xyz; Ash Blossom and Called by the Grave are the only protection shown (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Dimension Shifter as hand interaction and force the opponent through one interruption before a Kashtira Xyz Summon (Inferred; Shifter cannot be played legally)
• Recovery: Recursion via Medius the Pure from the GY, Kashtira Birth banish-and-summon, and DoomZ monsters searched by DoomZ V Five and DoomZ VII (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No Side Deck present (0 cards). No post-side plan can be evaluated; the deck is structurally incomplete for best-of-3 play

Why it scores here

This deck cannot earn a normal score because it is illegal in TCG: it runs three Kashtira Fenrir and one Dimension Shifter, both Forbidden, plus three Ash Blossom against a limit of two and two Kashtira Unicorn against a limit of one. Its structure is coherent on paper, with the Kashtira Birth and Kashtira Preparations-style summon engine supported by Ash Blossom and Called by the Grave for interaction, and the Xyz extra deck (11 Xyz, 3 Fusion, 1 Link) gives it a midrange shape. Recorded combos are absent (0 boards), so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference and are scored low. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the Kashtira core is real, but the usage data shows only 3 of 25 core cards present, which is not a sign of strength. No card scores were averaged; the score is capped at 25 for illegality and is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (structural weights from Midrange profile only, no blend applied). Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10). Final formula: Illegal cap: min(0.80*Structural(46) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + Modifiers(-10), 25) = 25; theoretical, structural-only, Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.38 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher and summon text (16 searchers, 4 hand traps) gives the Kashtira core reliable access
• Layered interaction: Ash Blossom, Called by the Grave and Harpie's Feather Duster
• Strong Extra Deck bodies at 2400 to 3000 ATK or DEF

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 3 Forbidden-or-over-limit copies and 1 Forbidden card
• No Side Deck (0 cards)
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and floor cannot be checked
• Only 3 of 25 archetype core cards present; the deck is mostly a DoomZ and Kashtira hybrid rather than the standard Kashtira shell
• Low exact-name purity (19.3 percent) spreads resources across sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Fenrir and Kashtira Unicorn are the main starters, and Fenrir is Forbidden; without a legal Fenrir the T1 plan loses its main body
• Ash Blossom is the only repeated protection, and it is over the limit at 3 copies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 42 main, 15 extra, 0 side; 4 copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom 3/2, Fenrir 3/0, Unicorn 2/1, Dimension Shifter 1/0); Card text for Ash Blossom, Kashtira Fenrir, Kashtira Unicorn, Medius the Pure, Drastrius and Called by the Grave; Archetype spread: Kashtira 11 exact, DoomZ 17, Shaddoll 4 among 57 cards
• Observed: Usage stats: 3 of 25 core cards present (12 percent); 0 recorded combo boards
• Inferred: Starter P(at least one in opening 5) = 0.32 for a 3-copy starter; Brick estimate 0.38 for the archetype core group proxy; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated meta sample or 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 record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck (0 cards) provided, so post-side plans cannot be evaluated
