Legality
Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Flower Cardian Synchro/Extra Deck boards (Lightflare, Lightshower, Boardefly) built from a Level-matched Flower Cardian chain, with Chaos Angel and Super Starslayer as secondary bosses; Piercing and direct damage from Boardefly and Moonflowerviewing once a Flower Cardian board is established
- Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Normal Summon a Level 1 or 3 Flower Cardian (Pine, Cherry Blossom or Cherry Blossom with Curtain), then chain Level-matched Special Summons into a Synchro or Xyz
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Super Koi Koi or Cherry Blossom with Curtain to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild through Recardination from the Graveyard
- Recovery: Recardination returns a Flower Cardian from the Graveyard to hand; Peony, Willow and Clover draw into further Flower Cardian Special Summons
- After siding: Not evaluable: the list has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists
Why it scores here
The deck is Illegal as built: Varudras and Baronne de Fleur are Forbidden in OCG and run at one copy each, so the list gets only a theoretical, structural read and a capped final score. Its 40-card Main Deck is compact with 12 Flower Cardian starters at three copies each, so the engine is reasonably likely to be live by turn 2 (about 0.34 per starter in a 5-card opening hand, about 0.78 for at least one of the 10 searcher-text cards), which keeps D1 moderately high. Conversion depends on Lightflare, Lightshower and Moonflowerviewing, which are the archetype's core cards but are absent from this list, so the ceiling and median scores are inferred from text only, with no recorded boards. Interaction is real on paper (negation and removal text across 6 and 12 cards) but the two Forbidden cards are the strongest pieces of it, so D7 is discounted. Popularity and archetype identity did not earn points; the score comes from consistency, the synergy of the Flower Cardian chain, and penalties for illegality and the missing Side Deck, not from averaging card scores.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 62 | P(at least one of 12 starters in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.34 per card and about 0.78 for the searcher group; 3-copy starters (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 55 | Many starters need a Flower Cardian to already be on field or in hand, so some hands are dead; 3-copy density limits redundancy (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 55 | Core Synchro and Xyz boards (Lightflare, Lightshower, Moonflowerviewing) are not in the list, so the ceiling is text-only (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No recorded boards exist (combo data has 0 entries), so the median is unobserved and scored from text only (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 50 | Recardination and Flower Cardian recursion give a second line after disruption, but many starters are single-choke (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 50 | Recardination and draw effects (Peony, Willow, Clover, Pine) regenerate resources; no resource signature is recorded (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 55 | Negation and removal text across 6 and 12 cards, reduced because the two Forbidden cards are the strongest interaction (Inferred semantic) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 50 | Going-second split is unavailable; Super Koi Koi and Cherry Blossom with Curtain give some board-breaking (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 60 | Lightflare at 5000 ATK and Chaos Angel at 3500 ATK give a strong closing surface, though Chaos Angel is a single copy (Verified stat, Inferred use) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 65 | Compact 40-card main deck, 14 distinct cards, mostly 3-copy starters with 1-copy tech (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 55 | 15 Extra cards across 11 distinct names; two Forbidden Extra cards cut the value of the slots (Verified composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side adaptability (Verified composition) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link or dated meta sample, so format fit is provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 55 | Multi-step chaining with level-based Special Summon restrictions has a high decision load (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53.4, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal list cap (-9.7). Final formula: Illegal capped: normal no-meta formula 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 51.7, less 12 banlist modifier = 39.7, capped to 30 because the list is illegal in OCG
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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
- Dense, coherent Flower Cardian engine (85.5% exact-name purity)
- Compact 40-card main with 3-copy starters
- Strong closing Extra Deck options (Lightflare 5000 ATK, Chaos Angel 3500 ATK)
- Negation and removal text in both main and Extra
Weaknesses
- Illegal as built: two Forbidden cards at one copy each
- No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
- Missing the archetype's core Synchro cards (Lightflare, Lightshower, Moonflowerviewing)
- No recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are unverified
Critical choke points
- A Level 1 to 3 starter must be drawn for turn 1; without one the chain does not start
- Recardination is the main recovery route; losing it leaves the Graveyard without a restart
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Varudras, the Final Bringer of the End Times | A legal Extra Deck synchro (for example Lightflare or Lightshower) | Forbidden in OCG, so the deck cannot be legally played as built |
| 2 | Baronne de Fleur | Moonflowerviewing or another legal Flower Cardian Synchro | Forbidden in OCG and also removes the core Synchro engine pieces |
| 3 | 0 side cards | A 15-card Side Deck of hand traps or floodgates | Best-of-3 play has no post-side plan without a Side Deck |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Deck is 40 Main and 15 Extra with no Side Deck; Varudras and Baronne de Fleur are Forbidden and run at one copy each; Archetype purity 85.5%
- Inferred: Starter access probabilities; Interaction quality from negation and removal text; Going-first and going-second estimates from card text
- Provisional: Format fit and matchup alignment (no dated meta sample); Tournament reliability
- Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck has no Side Deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
