Labrynth Deck #732004 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Establish a protective board with Labrynth Normal Traps and Fiend monsters, then grind through resource advantage and board presence.; Exploit Fiendsmith Fusion synergies and Link monsters for extended plays and negation.
• Turn 1 (going first): Set Normal Traps (Big Welcome Labrynth, Welcome Labrynth) and establish Lovely Labrynth or Lady Labrynth to restrict opponent plays. Generate hand advantage through Arianna and draw effects.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Nibiru) to disrupt opponent combo. Fiendsmith engine provides removal and recursion to break boards.
• Recovery: Labrynth Chandraglier and Arias recursion engine, Fiendsmith draw and recovery in GY, graveyard float package sustains resource economy across turns.
• After siding: Unable to determine reliably; no side deck supplied (0 cards). Assumed 15-card side exists but content unknown.

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal in OCG format (contains Maxx C, Dimensional Barrier, and Knightmare Gryphon—all Forbidden). Evaluation is structural-only, not playable. The Labrynth core (78.6% archetype coverage, P(≥1 starter) ≈ 0.91) is moderately consistent and runs solid hand-trap package (12 copies, P(≥1 going-second hand6) ≈ 0.79), but no combo evidence exists to assess turn-1 board quality or turn-2 conversion. Grind engine (recursion, float, resource regeneration from Fiendsmith + Labrynth searchers) is reasonably resilient and supports both going-first control and going-second disruption. Missing core cards (Labrynth Labyrinth, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, S:P Little Knight) and a 55-card main deck (above optimal 40–50) introduce brick risk and draw variance. Popularity does not factor into the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 0, Going First ≈ 0, Going Second ≈ 0, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 0. Modifiers: Illegal deck — 3 Forbidden cards (Maxx C, Dimensional Barrier, Knightmare Gryphon) (-100). Final formula: Not applicable — deck is Illegal in OCG format.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype-core consistency: 78.6% of meta-standard core cards present (11 of 14); P(≥1 starter) ≈ 0.91 provides reliable T1 setup.
• Hand-trap package depth: 12 copies (Ash Blossom x2, Infinite Impermanence x2, Evenly Matched x2, Nibiru x3, Ghost Belle x1, Droll & Lock Bird x1, Maxx C x1) enables solid going-second disruption and turn-1 risk mitigation.
• Grind and recursion: Fiendsmith engine (Engraver, Lacrima, Tract) pairs with Labrynth draw/recovery (Arianna, Chandraglier) to sustain resource economy and float across turns.
• Layered interaction: Lovely Labrynth (blocks effects in response to Normal Traps), Lady Labrynth (protected beatstick), Fiendsmith's Desirae (multi-negate), and mixed removal (Dominus Spark, Big Welcome) provide board control breadth.
• Fiendsmith flexibility: Fusion summon access + equip recursion permits out-of-archetype problem-solving (e.g., Fiendsmith's Lacrima removal/recursion).

Weaknesses

• Illegal deck: Contains 3 Forbidden cards in OCG (Maxx C, Dimensional Barrier, Knightmare Gryphon). Cannot be legally played.
• Over-sized main deck: 55 cards (vs optimal 40–50) inflates draw variance and brick risk; 21 singletons exacerbate inconsistency.
• Missing core cards: Labrynth Labyrinth, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, and S:P Little Knight absent; reduces meta-standard cohesion by 21.4%.
• Limited offensive pressure: Highest on-field ATK values are 2900–3000 (Lovely/Lady Labrynth); no direct damage, piercing, or OTK pathway; closing speed is slow (control/grind attrition).
• Starter interdependence: Arianna, Tour Guide, and Stovie Torbie form a linear combo line; single disruption (e.g., Ash Blossom on Arianna search) chokes the flow, forcing reliance on fallback Fiendsmith engine.
• No side deck: 0 cards supplied; post-side strategy and matchup adaptability unknown.
• No combo data: Absence of combo evidence prevents accurate assessment of board quality, turn-1 ceiling, and turn-2 conversion reliability.

Critical choke points

• Arianna the Labrynth Servant (T1 Labrynth search): If negated, primary opening collapses; fallback to Fiendsmith Engraver is slower and resource-heavy.
• Tour Guide from the Underworld (Fiend summon + recursion access): Disruption halts early-game setup; Nibiru-bait vulnerability (5+ summons can be triggered by T1 combos).
• Fiendsmith Engraver in GY (recovery engine): If banished or locked out of GY access, resource regeneration stops; deck becomes brittle.
• Set Normal Trap activation window: Relies on opponent activating a card that leaves a monster from field to trigger Labrynth trap chains; passive setup is vulnerable to opponent resource conservation.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Illegal in OCG (3 Forbidden cards verified against OCG ban list); Main deck size: 55 cards (above 40–60 rule); Extra deck size: 15 cards (within 0–15 rule); Archetype core coverage: 11/14 meta-standard cards present (78.6%); Card text frames and attributes: all resolved and confirmed; Hand-trap package count: 12 copies of explicit hand-trap cards (Ash, Impermanence, Evenly, etc.)
• Observed: Archetype meta-share inclusion stats provided (usage_statistics.available: true); Labrynth is a real, accessible archetype; No combo evidence supplied (combos_evidence.scored_combos: 0); no real boards scored
• Inferred: P(≥1 starter in opening hand5) ≈ 0.91 (hypergeometric from 20-copy core group); P(full brick) ≈ 0.09 proxy estimate (core group approach; actual brick rate likely higher due to 55 cards + singletons); Turn-1 board quality: Inferred from card text (Lovely Labrynth protection + trap sets + Fiendsmith negate) without combo examples; Turn-2 conversion: Estimated from hand-trap count (12 copies, P(≥1 h6) ≈ 0.79) and removal package (19 removal/negation cards); Combo floor/median/ceiling: Cannot be computed; textual inference only suggests median ~50–60 on relative scale (control deck, not high-impact OTK); Pilotability complexity: ~6–8 decision points per turn inferred from trap-set-and-react pattern; no real game logs to verify; Critical choke points: Identified via card-text analysis (linear starter chains, GY dependency); no tournament data to confirm empirical impact
• Provisional: Meta Power: Null (no dated metagame sample supplied). Archetype meta-share is context only, not a power signal.; Format fit (D13): Scored at 25 (very low confidence). OCG meta composition, turn-order speed, and interaction density unknown.; Tournament Reliability: Cannot be trusted. Deck is illegal; tournament performance is 0.; Going-First Power, Going-Second Power: Estimated from dimension components (D1–D7, D8, etc.) but cannot be validated without play data.
• Data gaps: BLOCKING: Deck contains 3 Forbidden cards (Maxx C, Dimensional Barrier, Knightmare Gryphon); evaluation is theoretical/structural-only, not playable. No side deck supplied (0 cards); post-side adaptability and matchup coverage cannot be assessed. No combo evidence (scored_combos: 0); turn-1 board quality, turn-2 conversion, and combo floor/median/ceiling cannot be verified; all combo claims are text-inferred and labeled Inferred. No tournament link (tournament_context.available: false); archetype meta-share context-only; no per-pilot match record or dated metagame sample → Meta Power is Provisional/null. No win-rate telemetry (brick rate, going-first/second split, matchup breakdowns, hand-quality frequency) → all consistency and matchup claims are Inferred. Guide evidence minimal (1 guide, Vietnamese-language snippet only, no English strategy details) → piloting strategy and error tolerance inferred from card text. No real game logs or boards → ceiling, median, and floor power indices cannot be computed; power distribution unknown.
