Lightsworn Deck #752371 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 55/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro/Xyz boss (Judgment Dragon 3000 ATK, Michael 2600, Minerva the Exalted 2000 ATK) built from a Lightsworn graveyard engine (self-mill fuel, Judgment Dragon / Wulf / Felis / Dragonling recursion); Piercing beats (Gragonith, Parshath, Light End Dragon) once a Lightsworn board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or self-mill a Lightsworn engine piece (Minerva Lightsworn Maiden, Charge of the Light Brigade, Solar Recharge), fill the GY with different-name Lightsworn monsters, then Special Summon Judgment Dragon, Wulf, or Felis and Synchro/Xyz into Michael or Minerva the Exalted
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Glorious Illusion, Vanquishing Light, Twilight Eraser, Lightsworn Aegis and Lightsworn Barrier for interaction, then rebuild the GY engine through Sanctuary and Dragonling recursion
• Recovery: Lightsworn Sanctuary and Dragonling return GY Lightsworn monsters to hand; Garoth and Minerva the Exalted draw after mill
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional Lightsworn engine in most hands: three copies each of Minerva Lightsworn Maiden and Lightsworn Sanctuary, plus Charge of the Light Brigade and Solar Recharge, give a searcher and self-mill layer, and the archetype-core group has about a 69% chance of at least one piece in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Conversion is strong on paper because the Extra Deck (Michael, Minerva the Exalted, Judgment Dragon's Synchro, Light End Dragon, Parshath) reaches 2000 to 2800 ATK, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based inferences and not measured outputs. Interaction is broad (Glorious Illusion, Light Spiral, Vanquishing Light, Twilight Eraser, Lightsworn Aegis, Lightsworn Barrier) yet mostly conditional on Lightsworn graveyard fuel, and the deck runs zero hand traps and zero floodgates, which weakens its going-second plan. Popularity and archetype usage confirm the list is a real, accessible build, but they earned no points; the score comes from the system's consistency, resource recursion, and closing power, and the individual card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-2); off-archetype singleton dilution (-1). Final formula: Structural with D13 dropped and weights renormalised to 97 (Combo profile) = 59.6; Final = 0.80*59.6 + 0.20*50 + modifiers(-3) = 54.7, rounded to 55 (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.69 · 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 Lightsworn searcher and recursion package (Maiden, Sanctuary, Charge, Solar Recharge, Dragonling)
• Strong Extra Deck closers (Judgment Dragon, Michael, Minerva the Exalted, Light End Dragon)
• Multiple negation and removal options in Trap and Spell slots

Weaknesses

• No hand traps or floodgates, so going-second disruption is thin
• Many cards are conditional on Lightsworn graveyard fuel, which raises brick risk
• Off-archetype singleton Lightrays and Foolish Burial dilute engine coherence
• No Side Deck, so no adaptation plan

Critical choke points

• Lightsworn graveyard fuel: without four or more different-name Lightsworn monsters in the GY, Judgment Dragon and Dragonling stall
• Minerva Lightsworn Maiden as the main searcher and Tuner: a single removal or hand disruption can break the first Synchro

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60 and Extra 15 counts, copy histogram and archetype purity (84%); Foolish Burial banlist status Limited with 1 copy legal and run; Zero hand traps and zero floodgates in the list; Archetype-core usage stats show 6 of 7 core cards present (85.7%)
• Inferred: At least one starter in opening hand ≈ 0.69; Engine conflicts and brick risk from graveyard-dependent monsters; Closing and interaction quality read from card text; Going-second weakness from zero hand traps
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; D13 matchup fit is a placeholder with no dated metagame sample; Side-deck adaptability cannot be scored with no Side Deck
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck registered, so post-side performance cannot be evaluated
