Therions Deck #727176 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Xyz-focused
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz summon DoomZ bosses with equip chains for board presence and resource recovery; Going-second disruption via hand traps (Ash, Evenly Matched, Artifact Lancea) into Super Polymerization Fusion plays
• Turn 1 (going first): Open DoomZ monsters, search and equip via Amalthe/Elara/Drastea, build Rank 4/5/8 Xyz boards with interaction via equip effects
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps into Dark Ruler No More or Super Poly Fusion to break established boards, Mulcharmy Fuwalos for card draw recovery
• Recovery: DoomZ search chains and Xyz detach effects replenish resources; limited grind capacity without recursion engines
• After siding: Unknown; no side deck supplied

Why it scores here

This DoomZ-hybrid deck achieves moderate consistency through 12 three-ofs anchored by Amalthe/Elara/Drastea starters (P ≥1 ≈ 0.75 inferred), but median combo output is constrained by heavy reliance on equip chains and limited independent lines — a single board disruption often ends the turn. Going-second strength comes from 11 hand traps (71% draw rate at hand 6) and Super Polymerization tech, but the deck lacks a robust post-side strategy (no side supplied). Archetype purity is low (only 1 exact Therion core card), with the core engine (DoomZ, Power Patron, Mulcharmy bridges) creating mild tension; missing Clockwork Knight and Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS (66–83% inclusion) suggests a mid-tier variant. Popularity and meta-share did not earn points; the score reflects system consistency, median board depth, and going-second utility only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: no side deck supplied (-2); off-archetype core density (-1); strong going-second hand-trap density (1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural (62) + 0.20*TournamentReliability (60) = 61.2 → 62; Meta provisional (no dated sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.75 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.58 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.24 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong going-second package with 11 hand traps (71% opening rate) + Dark Ruler No More + Super Polymerization for board disruption and Fusion plays
• Efficient Xyz extra-deck stacking (10 Rank 4/5/8 bosses) with equip synergy chains enabling recursion and material conservation
• High consistency on DoomZ starter access (~75% P≥1 in opening 5) via three dragons + searcher spells
• Dark Ruler No More and Solemn cards provide multi-layered negation and board protection
• Mulcharmy Fuwalos pseudo-draw and Artifact Lancea hand-trap fusion tech add flexibility

Weaknesses

• Median combo output constrained by reliance on equip stacking; single-interrupt lines often terminate the turn
• Limited independent starter lines; all three DoomZ monsters funnel into same search pattern, creating redundancy
• Low archetype purity (1.79% Therion exact-name cards); DoomZ/Power Patron hybrid creates mild engine tension and deck identity confusion
• Missing high-inclusion cards: Clockwork Knight (83%), Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS (67%), Infinite Impermanence (50%) suggest non-standard build with unknown performance delta
• No side deck supplied; post-side adaptability and best-of-3 resilience unknown
• 56-card main deck at upper legal limit with 12 triple-loaded slots creates brick density (~24% no-starter hands)
• Pendulum monster slots (6 copies) lack full Pendulum engine payoff, occupying space without synergy
• Grind game weak; minimal recursion engines beyond DoomZ search loops, vulnerable to long resource wars

Critical choke points

• Interruption of DoomZ search loop mid-combo (Ash Blossom on Amalthe trigger or search activation) often ends turn; no alternative starter lines
• Heavy reliance on equip chains for layering; if equip tutor (Elara effect) is negated, board depth collapses
• Mulcharmy Fuwalos requires empty field (Quick Effect activation condition) — dead in hand if not setup turn; OPT limits recovery rate
• No side deck means best-of-3 adaptation unknown; cannot verify resilience to meta shifts

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: deck is Legal in OCG format (verified against banlist and size rules); Card text: all 27 unique main-deck cards and 11 extra-deck cards resolved with descriptions; Archetype core: 1 Therion exact-name card present (Therion King Regulus), 25 DoomZ copies, 5 Power Patron copies; Copy limits: all restricted cards within legal copies (Called by the Grave 1/1, Harpie's Feather Duster 1/1, Solemn Judgment 1/1, Droll & Lock Bird 2/2)
• Observed: Hand-trap group probability: 11 hand-trap copies yield P(≥1 in hand 6) = 0.749 (hypergeometric from probabilities.hand_trap_group); Searcher text group: 17 searcher-text cards yield P(≥1 in hand 5) = 0.849; Extra-deck breakdown: 10 Xyz, 4 Fusion; all Rank 4/5/8 Xyz plus mixed Fusion coverage
• Inferred: D1 consistency: P(≥1 DoomZ starter in hand 5) ≈ 0.75 from three 3-copy dragons (Amalthe, Elara, Drastea); D2 brick management: estimated ~24% full-brick rate (no starter + high triple-load density) via card-count composition; D3 combo ceiling: Rank 5/8 Xyz with dual equip stacking and search chains inferred from card text and extra-deck capacity (~74 PowerIndex analog); D4 median output: single Rank 4 Xyz + unequipped DoomZ beatstick typical without independent line redundancy (~58 PowerIndex analog); D5 interruption resilience: single-choke-point loop (Amalthe → search → equip setup) collapses on one negation; ~55 reflects low line diversity; D6 resource economy: DoomZ search chains + Xyz detach regenerate across turns; no standalone draw or mill; ~62 reflects steady but not aggressive recovery; D7 interaction quality: equip negate + Solemn suite + Dark Ruler No More provide ~3.1 interaction density (semantic read of 'negate' and 'removal' text hints); D8 going-second board breaking: hand-trap density and Dark Ruler No More + Super Polymerization force gaps; ~68 reflects strong package; D9 offensive closing power: max 2700 ATK boss (Drastrius), no piercing; reliance on disruption over pure damage; ~61 reflects tempo/control lean; D10 main deck efficiency: 56-card main at cap with 12 triple-loaded slots + 6 Pendulum non-synergy slots yields low compactness; ~58; D11 extra-deck efficiency: 10 Xyz + 4 Fusion with Super Polymerization unlocking all Fusions; Rank stacking efficient; ~67 reflects good coverage; D13 matchup format fit: DoomZ hybrid off-meta; missing 4/6 core cards (Clockwork Knight, AA-ZEUS, Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom copy 2) suggest non-standard variant; archetype meta-share absent; ~50 provisional; D14 pilotability: DoomZ search loops multi-step; Xyz summon sequencing tight; 3+ decision points per turn; ~59 reflects moderate complexity
• Provisional: Meta Power: no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent; score set to null; D13 matchup coverage: Therion archetype meta-share unknown; cannot assess format alignment without tournament data or banlist recency; Post-side plans: no side deck (15 cards) supplied; best-of-3 adaptation unverifiable; D12 set to 0
• Data gaps: No combos supplied by preprocess.py; no parsed boards, no best line or median power index — combo ceiling/floor/median inferred from card text and extra-deck capacity only No tournament link; archetype meta-share unavailable; per-pilot match record absent — matchup context and format positioning provisional No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first/second split, brick rate, matchup win %, per-game statistics) — all consistency and performance claims are Inferred from probabilities and card roles No side deck supplied (0/15 cards); post-side plans unknown; D12 unscored; best-of-3 resilience unverifiable Usage statistics show deck runs 2/6 core cards (Therion King Regulus, Ash Blossom); missing Clockwork Knight, Clockwork Night, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Infinite Impermanence — performance delta vs canonical build unknown No guides evidence; strategic intent and format metagame context inferred from card selections only
