Evil Twin Deck #730429 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 0/100 (±25 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Control, Midrange
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Establish interaction-heavy board via Evil Twin Link combos and Unchained recursion; Grind through resource advantage and card draw from Evil Twin effects
• Turn 1 (going first): Summon Evil Twin Ki-sikil + Lil-la or Unchained Link combo to set up negation and removal
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Artifact Lancea) into forced interaction via Forbidden Droplet and board breakers
• Recovery: Unchained recursion via graveyard flooding; Live Twin draw generation; Extra Deck Links re-summon from GY
• After siding: Cannot evaluate: no Side Deck provided (0 cards)

Why it scores here

This deck is **illegal in OCG** and receives a theoretical-only evaluation. It runs Forbidden cards (Maxx "C", Knightmare Gryphon) and exceeds the Extra Deck size limit. Structurally, the deck attempts to blend Evil Twin control (Ki-sikil/Lil-la interactive board) with Unchained recursion and hand-trap interaction, but lacks critical core pieces (Evil Twin Trouble Sunny, Fiendsmith Sequence, Evil Twin Ki-sikil Deal) present in 77–85% of competitive lists. The 42-card main deck and 19-card Extra (vs. 15-card cap) create additional inconsistency. Without parseable combo data, the floor and median output cannot be verified; reliance on text-based inference and missing core cards substantially lowers confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.65 Combo + 0.35 Control. Structural ≈ 36, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 28. Modifiers: Illegal deck status (-100); Core card deficit (-8); No combos supplied (-6); No Side Deck (-5). Final formula: Illegal deck — no Final Contextual score computed. Structural ≈ 36; Tournament Reliability ≈ 28. Legal re-evaluation required.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.8 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.06 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dual-engine recursion: Unchained graveyard flooding + Evil Twin re-summon capability enables resource regeneration across turns.
• Hand-trap density and interactive tools: Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Forbidden Droplet, Artifact Lancea provide going-second disruption.
• Flexible Extra Deck targets: Multiple Link monsters for different board states (Evil Twin Ki-sikil, Unchained Links, generic utility).
• Searcher redundancy: 13 cards with searcher text reduce dead draws within the core engines.

Weaknesses

• ILLEGAL: Contains Maxx "C" (Forbidden), Knightmare Gryphon (Forbidden), and violates Extra Deck size (19 > 15).
• Critical core card deficit: Missing Evil Twin Trouble Sunny, Fiendsmith Sequence, Evil Twin Ki-sikil Deal, and others used in 77–85% of meta lists significantly weakens board quality and consistency.
• Oversized Main Deck (42 cards): Exceeds standard efficiency and increases brick probability.
• No combo evidence: Floor and ceiling cannot be verified; deck power is speculative.
• Low offensive pressure: Boss monsters lack high ATK or piercing effects; relies on grinding through removal, not burst damage.
• Choke point dependency: Early Evil Twin combo disruption (Ash Blossom on Ki-sikil summon) often ends turn with minimal board.
• No Side Deck: Best-of-3 adaptability unknown; cannot assess post-side recovery.

Critical choke points

• Evil Twin setup: If Live☆Twin Ki-sikil is negated or destroyed before summoning Lil-la, the turn collapses; no independent second line confirmed.
• Extra Deck overflow: Running 19 cards (4 over limit) means critical slots may be illegal, forcing cuts and reducing coverage.
• Unchained recursion is GY-dependent: If graveyard is purged (Droll & Lock, D.D. Crow) before setup, recursion engine stalls.
• Maxx "C" and Knightmare Gryphon are legal violations**: Structural assessment invalid; deck cannot compete in OCG format as-is.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Illegal (Maxx "C" Forbidden, Knightmare Gryphon Forbidden, Extra Deck 19 > 15); Main Deck size: 42 (over 40 minimum); Extra Deck size: 19 (over 15 OCG limit); Card text and banlist status confirmed from YGOVN card database; Archetype composition: 0% exact-name purity; 68% Fiend-engine coverage
• Observed: Usage statistics show 11 of 25 meta-core cards present (44% coverage); Hand-trap density: 6 distinct cards (Ash Blossom 2x, Droll & Lock Bird 1x, Artifact Lancea 1x, Maxx "C" 1x, Ghost Ogre 1x)
• Inferred: P(≥1 Evil Twin/Unchained starter in hand 5) ≈ 0.80 via hypergeometric calculation; Combo floor ≈ one Evil Twin Link + removal or recursion, unverified without board examples; Brick rate ≈ 6.25% (archetype core P(none) = 0.0625), but inflated by 42-card main; Going-first board likely features Evil Twin negation + Unchained recursion; ceiling ≈ 2–3 interaction pieces; Pilotability moderate due to recursiong loop complexity and deck size management
• Provisional: Meta Power: Unknown (no dated metagame sample; archetype meta-share and tournament context absent); Tournament Reliability: Cannot be assessed for illegal deck; Post-side performance: No Side Deck provided
• Data gaps: Deck is illegal in OCG format — evaluation is structural/theoretical only No combo boards parsed; floor, median, ceiling cannot be verified No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second performance unknown No Side Deck (0 cards) — post-side plan and best-of-3 adaptability cannot be evaluated Missing 14 of 25 meta-core cards; deck deviates from standard builds No dated metagame sample; Meta Power remains provisional
