Hieratic Deck #696572 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Neo Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Blue-Eyes Tyrant Dragon from the Extra Deck, once a Blue-Eyes board is established (Inferred); Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon and Lightstorm Dragon as synchro pressure, with Super Starslayer TY-PHON as a Xyz finisher (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tuner-searcher such as Sage with Eyes of Blue or Wishes for Eyes of Blue, summon Neo Kaiser Sea Horse or a Blue-Eyes White Dragon line, then hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle or Effect Veiler for the follow-up (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Lead with a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler or Infinite Impermanence) to blank the opponent's first summon, then convert into a Blue-Eyes Synchro or Fusion line (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through searchers (Sage, Wishes, Primite Dragon Ether Beryl) and Blue-Eyes recursion from the GY and banish zone; Mulcharmy Fuwalos adds draw when the hand is empty (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan exists in the export

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its consistency is moderate: about 82% of opening hands contain at least one searcher, and about 92% of going-second hands contain at least one hand trap, but the engine is split across Blue-Eyes, Eyes of Blue, Primite and Bystial, with only 2 of 62 off-archetype copies matching the exact Hieratic name. Interaction is the deck's clearest strength: 18 negation-text cards, Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence and Solemn Strike give layered answers to the opponent's first moves. The Blue-Eyes Extra Deck threats give real closing power, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The deck is illegal as built (Ash Blossom over its OCG Semi-Limited cap, Droll & Lock Bird over its Limited cap), has no Side Deck, and has no tournament or meta data, so the score is capped low and is theoretical only. Popularity was not used to raise the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts (-4); No side deck (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Illegal deck, so the result is capped low and labelled theoretical: 0.80*52 + 0.20*40 = 49.6, then modifiers -12 gives 37.6, rounded to 38

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

• Layered interaction: 16 hand traps and 18 negation-text cards
• High hand-trap coverage on going second (about 92% of 6-card hands)
• High-ATK Blue-Eyes Extra Deck finishers
• Strong searcher density (about 82% of 5-card hands)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom 3 copies vs 2 allowed, Droll & Lock Bird 2 copies vs 1 allowed
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Split engine: Blue-Eyes, Eyes of Blue and Primite do not reinforce one another
• Heavy off-archetype spread (62 of 64 archetype-tagged copies outside the exact name)

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon availability (2 copies) for most Blue-Eyes Extra Deck lines
• Single-copy Limited and Semi-Limited restrictions on Bystial Druiswurm, Bystial Magnamhut and Secret Village of the Spellcasters

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom over its OCG Semi-Limited cap (3 vs 2) and Droll & Lock Bird over its OCG Limited cap (2 vs 1); Zero Side Deck cards in the export; Main Deck 50 and Extra Deck 14, both within OCG size rules; Card text and ATK/DEF stats for the listed Blue-Eyes, Primite and Bystial cards; Usage stats: Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence at 100% inclusion; Ash Blossom at 50%
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates: about 82% searcher in 5 cards, about 92% hand trap in 6 cards, about 60% archetype-core open in 5 cards; Engine split across Blue-Eyes, Eyes of Blue, Primite and Bystial; Going-second hand-trap coverage and board-breaking reach; Extra Deck win conditions and their quality
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13): no dated metagame or tournament data
• 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 deck title is null, so the deck is identified by its archetype and id only no Side Deck cards in the export, so post-side behaviour cannot be evaluated
