Dark World Deck #752216 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 10 Sacred Beast extra summons (Infinity of the Sacred Beasts - Raviel and Calamity of the Sacred Beasts - Hamon, both 4000 ATK) backed by Dark World Fiend pressure (Reign-Beaux, Grapha Dragon Overlord).; Dark World graveyard recursion and Fiend beats through Snoww, Genta, Sillva and Grapha.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Sacred Beasts spells and Level 10 Sacred Beast monsters with Thunderclap, Released and Martyr, then extra-summon the Level 10 Sacred Beasts. Searcher density is high, but the 3-copy engine starters are each only about 34% likely in the opening 5.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap-led interaction (Buio, Linkuriboh, and one legal Droll & Lock Bird) to slow the opponent, then rebuild through Dark World graveyard recursion. Going second is weaker because the second Droll is an illegal copy and the Forbidden cards cannot be played.
• Recovery: Recycle Dark World monsters from the graveyard (Snoww, Genta, Grapha, Reign-Beaux) and search with Dark Corridor and Dark World Accession.
• After siding: None. The deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side adaptation.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in TCG: it runs four Forbidden cards (Triple Tactics Talent, Cross-Sheep, Varudras, Saryuja Skull Dread) and two copies of Droll & Lock Bird against a limit of one, so under the rubric it is capped and scored as a structural-only theoretical read. The system is a Midrange shell with a Combo secondary: searchers (27 searcher-text cards) and graveyard recursion give it resources, and the Level 10 Sacred Beast extra summons give it closing power. Consistency is only moderate, since the three 3-copy engine starters are each about 34% likely in the opening 5 and no combo boards were recorded. The deck has no side deck, so adaptation scores very low. The score comes from consistency, recursion, and closing power on the system as a whole; the Archetype's popularity and card-by-card strength did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Combo secondary used as descriptive context only (no combo boards to weight). Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 0.80*49 + 0.20*45 = 48.2, then banlist-exposure modifier -12 -> 36 (Illegal list: capped, structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• High searcher density (27 searcher-text cards) keeps the engine findable
• Graveyard recursion through Dark World monsters and Dark World Accession gives strong resource regeneration
• Level 10 Sacred Beast extra summons provide 4000-ATK closing threats (Raviel, Hamon)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: four Forbidden cards and one over-limit Droll & Lock Bird
• Only 25.5% exact-name archetype purity, so the engine is split across Phantasm and generic cards
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Engine starters are each about 34% likely to appear in the opening 5

Critical choke points

• The Level 10 Sacred Beast extra summons depend on a few 3-copy starters
• Illegal Extra Deck cards (Varudras, Saryuja, Cross-Sheep) take Extra slots that legal routes would need

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 4 Forbidden cards and Droll & Lock Bird at 2 copies vs a limit of 1; Main 40 and Extra 15 are within the TCG size rules; side is 0; Core cards Raviel, Hamon, Reign-Beaux and Grapha are Unlimited, legal at 3 copies, with the text read from excerpts; Archetype exact-name purity is 25.5%
• Observed: Archetype usage statistics: Fallen Paradise, Raviel, Martyr and Dark Corridor appear in 100% of archetype decks; 72% of core cards are present
• Inferred: Engine T1 accessibility from 3-copy starter hypergeometric odds (≈0.34); Resource regeneration and interaction quality from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Format fit and matchup coverage (no dated meta sample or tournament link); Meta Power (null)
• 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, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or unknown deck title is null Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample the deck is Illegal, so the score is capped and structural-only
