Bystial/Byssted Deck #736145 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro combo into high-level interaction boards (Bystial Dis Pater, Chaos Angel, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss); Beatdown via 3000+ ATK Synchro bosses; grind via banish/removal toolbox
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Resonator/Bystial/Archfiend engine → Synchro summon tier-8+ board with negation and removal; establish Crimson Gaia recursion loop
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash, Ghost Belle, Droll) → board break via Scarlight/Chaos Angel removal; adapt post-side with Dominus Impulse reactive negation
• Recovery: Synkron Resonator float into Resonator Call searcher; Bystial engine banish-recovery; Fydraulis Harmonia quick-effect defense via Extra Deck reveal
• After siding: No Side Deck supplied (0/15 cards); structural post-side plan cannot be assessed

Why it scores here

This Resonator-Bystial hybrid Synchro deck opens with solid engine consistency (68%) via Resonator Call, Power Vice Dragon, and Soul Resonator searchers—roughly 31–32% probability of ≥1 starter in hand-5—and converts into respectable tier-8+ boards with interaction layers (negation, removal, recursion). The median board is functional but not dominant: multiple independent lines exist (Crimson Blade Dragon pivot, Dis Pater revival loop, Fydraulis Harmonia quick-effect defense) yet most require specific follow-ups. Opening-hand quality is compromised by 14 Tuners clogging duplicate Normal Summons and 9 heavy utility cards (Droll, Ghost Belle, Dominus) that don't immediately contribute to Synchro material. The deck lacks post-side adaptation (0 Side cards) and struggles against board-break strategies due to medium interruption resilience and modest offensive ceiling. The system scores 62 because it delivers consistent mid-tier Synchro pressure on turn 1 and reasonable turn-2 interactivity, but lacks the redundancy, resource economy, or metagame positioning to reach higher tiers.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 70, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: No Side Deck supplied (-3); Tuner redundancy brick risk (-2); Limited independent lines after disruption (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(63) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(58) + 0 = Final 62 (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample supplied)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Solid engine accessibility: 32% P(≥1 starter hand-5); Resonator Call + Power Vice Dragon + Soul Resonator redundancy
• Multi-line recovery: Bystial banish engine, Crimson Gaia GY recursion, Synkron Resonator float provide mid-game flexibility
• Tier-8+ Synchro ceiling: Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, Chaos Angel, Dis Pater boards with negation + removal layering
• Hand-trap density: 7 cards (16%) disruption reach; Droll & Lock Bird on Deck additions, Ash/Ghost Belle on core effects
• Extra Deck coverage: all 15 slots optimized; Synchro Tuner flex (Zalen/Malong) enables secondary chains

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck → zero post-side adaptation; best-of-3 format reliability unverifiable
• Tuner redundancy: 14 Tuners in 43 cards create dead-hand conflicts; dual Special Summon gates (Power Vice, Bone Archfiend, Earthbound) compete for Normal Summon
• Single Synchro choke point: both Resonator and Bystial engines feed same Extra Deck; one negate/removal stops recovery
• Median board modest: most openers resolve to tier-6/7 Synchro with limited follow-up; ceiling not reliably achieved
• Offensive pressure limited: 3000 ATK ceiling, no piercing/direct damage; grind-out clock ~9–10 turns
• Going-second vulnerability: hand-trap lineup (Droll 2x especially) strong but board break (Scarlight, Chaos Angel) inconsistent against layered defenses

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck choke: single Synchro summoning avenue; one interrupt (Veiler, Crossout) collapses both lines
• Normal Summon conflict: Power Vice Dragon, Bone Archfiend, Earthbound Prisoner all want Normal Summon; cluttered hand risks skip turn
• Bystial banish-target dependency: Druiswurm and Magnamhut need live LIGHT/DARK in GY; opening hand without setup suffers mid-combo
• Post-side unknown: no Side Deck supplied; cannot assess resilience to popular metagame counters (e.g. Ash, Nibiru, Dark Ruler)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck legality: Legal per OCG banlist; all restricted cards within copy limits; Main Deck 43 cards, Extra 15, Side 0; size compliant; Card text resolved for all 37 unique cards; role hints extracted from official text; Usage stats available: Bystial Magnamhut 91% inclusion, Druiswurm 60% core presence confirmed
• Observed: Hand-trap group density: 7 cards total (Ash 3x, Ghost Belle 2x, Droll 2x); Searcher text density: 19 cards with searcher role hints (Resonator Call, Power Vice, Soul Resonator, Crimson Gaia, Vision Resonator, Synkron Resonator, Bystial Magnamhut, etc.); Extra Deck composition: 13 Synchro monsters, 2 Synchro Tuners; all DARK Dragon or Dragon-adjacent except Enigmaster Packbit (Cyberse)
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency: P(≥1 Resonator starter hand-5) ≈ 32% from hypergeometric draw model; Brick estimate: ~8% full brick (14 Tuners + utility cards conflict); Best board power: tier-8+ Synchro estimated 78–82 power index; median board 60–65 via card-text synthesis; Interruption resilience: single choke point on Synchro summoning after first disruption; recovery via float/recursion marginal; Going-first vs going-second split: going-first ~70 power (interaction layers + board), going-second ~58 power (hand-trap reach + board break conditional); Pilotability: ~6–8 decision points per combo line; moderate complexity; error tolerance narrow on level-targeting
• Provisional: Meta Power: null (no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share unknown in OCG current format); Post-side plan: unassessable (0/15 Side Deck supplied); Tournament reliability against current meta: archetype representation unstated; Bystial/Resonator hybrid positioning speculative
• Data gaps: No combos supplied in combo data → best power index, median power index, board per starter unmeasured; board power estimated from card text only (Inferred) No tournament link → archetype meta-share, per-pilot match records, dated metagame sample absent; Meta Power remains Provisional No win-rate telemetry (YGOVN records no materialized win rates) → going-first/second matchup frequency, brick-rate frequency, OTK outcome rate unknown Side Deck 0/15 → post-side plan and best-of-3 resilience completely unassessed; D12 capped at 0 No guides sections parsed into recommendations → strategic intent inferred from card roles only
