Tistina Deck #653201 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tistina Extra Deck boss plus Xyz pressure (Crystal God Tistina / Tistina, the Divinity that Defies Darkness, K9-X Werewolf, Gustav Max) built from the Tistina search chain; K9 Xyz and Number Xyz boards, with Ash Blossom, Droll, and K9-17 Izuna as stun-style interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tistina searcher (Demigod, Sentinel, Fallen, Divine Domain Baatistina) and search the field spell or a Tistina monster, then reach a Level 10 Xyz; hold Ash Blossom and Droll for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, K9-17 Izuna) answer the opponent's first board; Mulcharmy draw effects and Sentinel of the Tistina rebuild the board
• Recovery: Tistina monsters search and recycle from GY (Fallen of the Tistina, Returned of the Tistina); Mulcharmy draws refill the hand once the field is empty
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: the Tistina engine (20 exact-name cards, P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening) about 0.88, Inferred) gives reasonable access to its core, and five hand traps plus Droll give it stun-style interaction on both turns. Ceiling and median output are not measured because no combos were recorded, so D3 and D4 are text-only estimates (Inferred). Archetype purity is low (26.7% exact name, with K9, Spider, Mulcharmy and generic cards filling the Main Deck), which costs main-deck efficiency. The list is Illegal: three Forbidden cards, five copy-limit violations and two Forbidden Extra Deck or Main Deck staples, so it receives a structural-only read capped at 30 rather than a normal final score. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible but did not add points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun-style interaction noted but not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 0.80*50 + 0.20*35 - 12 = 35, then capped to 30 because status is Illegal (theoretical/structural read only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · 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 searcher chain (20 Tistina-text searchers) gives reliable access to the core engine
• Five hand traps plus Droll give interaction on both turns
• Extra Deck has Level 10 and K9 Xyz bosses plus flexible Number options

Weaknesses

• Illegal: copy-limit violations and five Forbidden cards
• Archetype purity is 26.7%, with K9, Spider, Mulcharmy and generic cards diluting the engine
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Tistina field spell (Divine Domain Baatistina) and Level 10 Xyz boss require specific searches; a single disruption to the chain stops the Level 10 line
• K9-17 Izuna and Ash Blossom both cap at two copies, so the third copy is illegal until removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: five Forbidden cards and copy-limit violations on Ash Blossom, K9-17 Izuna and Droll & Lock Bird; Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0 in legal size range; Archetype purity 26.7% exact, 55 off-archetype copies; Extra Deck contains 14 Xyz and 1 Link
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in opening 5) about 0.88 for the 20-copy searcher group; Engine reliability and brick estimates from text and probability; Interaction quality from text roles; Going-first and going-second power from text and structure
• Provisional: Meta power is null; tournament context unavailable; Matchup fit inferred from archetype and format only
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups, starter or brick rates Meta power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered
