Bystial/Byssted Deck #752204 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend family boss monsters (Red Hypernova Dragon, Red Nova Dragon - Burning Soul, Bystial Dis Pater, The Crimson King) after Resonator Tuner setup and Bystial/Archfiend searches; Bystial Druiswurm and Bystial Magnamhut Special Summon chains from the GY and banish, plus Angelechy Synchro boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Resonator or Fiend Tuner with a searcher, Synchro Summon a boss through Tuner plus non-Tuner, then protect the board with Ash Blossom and Red Dragon Archfiend's Chains (Inferred from text; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler and Red Zone to stop the opponent's first engine, then rebuild a Synchro board from the GY and Extra Deck (Inferred)
• Recovery: Resonator monsters return from the GY through Synkron Resonator, Vision Resonator and Crimson Call, and Crimson Gaia adds Red Dragon Archfiend cards back to hand (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty, so no post-side plan exists in the list

Why it scores here

The deck has a real engine: 17 searcher-text cards, a Resonator tuner web, and a Red Dragon Archfiend Synchro package that can reach boss-level bodies such as Red Hypernova Dragon (4500 ATK) and Red Nova Dragon - Burning Soul (3500 ATK). Its interaction is dense, with 19 removal-text cards, 7 negation-text cards and 6 hand traps, which supports resilience and going-second play. The score is held down by the legality failure: four copy-limit or banlist violations, including two Forbidden cards, cap the deck under the normal Final Contextual formula. The deck also has no side deck, 70 of 55 main-deck copies sit outside the exact Bystial/Byssted name, and there are no recorded combos, guides or tournament results, so the floor and median are unmeasured. The score comes from consistency, interaction and Extra Deck closing power measured on the list as a whole, not from averaging card scores and not from archetype popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Structural 54 and TournamentReliability 45 under the no-meta formula 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability gives ~52 before modifiers; Meta provisional. Illegal-deck cap applied (legality failure), final set to 30 as theoretical/structural-only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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

• Dense searcher and Resonator engine (17 searcher-text cards)
• Layered interaction: 19 removal-text, 7 negation-text, 6 hand traps
• Strong Extra Deck bosses, including Red Hypernova Dragon (4500 ATK) and Red Nova Dragon - Burning Soul (3500 ATK)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit violations and two Forbidden cards
• No side deck (0 cards)
• Low exact archetype purity (0%), with 70 off-archetype copies
• Core-card coverage incomplete: 3 of 4 usage-core cards present (S:P Little Knight missing)

Critical choke points

• Single Ash Blossom and Droll copies are over the legal limit, so the list cannot be played as built
• Red Dragon Archfiend and its Extra Deck boss chain depend on a few Tuner and Resonator starters

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 55 and Extra deck 15 are within size rules; Four copy-limit or banlist violations: Ash Blossom x3 (limit 2), Droll x2 (limit 1), Called by the Grave (Forbidden), Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden); Side deck is empty; Card text and stats for all listed cards from resolved evidence; Usage stats: 3 of 4 core cards present
• Inferred: Opening-hand hypergeometric estimates for searcher and hand-trap access; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Structural scores on all 14 dimensions; Interaction density from text role hints
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability from text only
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates unknown Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck empty: no post-side evidence No guides attached for the archetype
