Deck — Deck Power Evaluation
Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

| Structural Deck Power | 43.5 |
| Going First | 40 |

| Meta Power | provisional |
| Tournament Reliability | 35 |

Legality
Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Scareclaw Link line into 3000-ATK boss monsters (Scareclaw Tri-Heart, Vicious Astraloud) once the Extra Monster Zone is live; Mulcharmy card-draw grind plus Diabellstar and Dinowrestler beatsticks
- Turn 1 (going first): Open a Scareclaw or Mulcharmy starter (3 copies each) and search or summon toward a Link 3 Tri-Heart; no combo data exists, so this is a text-only read (Inferred)
- Turn 2 (going second): Use 9 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Red Reboot, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird) to slow the opponent and then deploy a Link line
- Recovery: Scareclaw Arrival and Scareclaw Sclash recursion plus searchers (Primitive Planet Reichphobia, Deception of the Sinful Spoils, WANTED) to rebuild a starter
- After siding: None: the deck runs an empty Side Deck (0 of 15 slots), so no post-side plan exists
Why it scores here
This list is Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards (Azamina Ilia Silvia, Cross-Sheep, Baronne de Fleur) are run at one copy each against a legal limit of zero, so it is scored as a structural-only read and capped low. Its only starters with three copies are Scareclaw Reichheart and the two Mulcharmy monsters, giving about a 25 percent chance of at least one in an opening hand of five going first, so the engine is inconsistent (Inferred). The deck spreads across 17 distinct sub-archetype and generic cards with only 27 percent exact-name Scareclaw purity, so it reads as a toolbox rather than a cohesive engine. Interaction is dense with nine hand traps and about 17 removal-text cards, which helps going second, but there is no side deck and no recorded combos, so floor, median and ceiling cannot be separated from text. Popularity and archetype stats were not used to add points; the usage data shows only one of 25 core cards is present, and the score was not built by averaging card scores.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 40 | P(at least one Reichheart, Fuwalos or Purulia in opening 5) ≈ 0.25 each; 1 of 25 archetype core cards present (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 40 | Many off-archetype copies (51 of 55 main) and 9 hand traps create dead or conflicting hands when not going second (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 45 | No parseable combo boards; ceiling read from text only via Tri-Heart and Astraloud boss summons (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 40 | No combo boards; median output cannot be measured and is not inferred beyond text (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 50 | 9 hand traps and Scareclaw Arrival recursion give some route redundancy after disruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 50 | 11 searcher-text cards and Mulcharmy draw effects offset LP-costly interaction such as Solemn Judgment and Appointer (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 55 | 17 removal-text and 12 negation-text cards give broad interaction; Forbidden staples removed from the legal count (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 50 | Dinowrestler Pankratops and hand-trap negation are the going-second board breakers; no going-second split exists (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 55 | Tri-Heart and Astraloud reach 3000 ATK, but evidence on conversion is text-only (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 35 | 33 distinct main cards and only 27 percent exact-name purity give low compactness (Verified composition, Inferred consequence) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 50 | 15 Extra Deck slots used across 11 distinct cards with Limited S:P Little Knight present (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | Side Deck is empty, so there is no post-side adaptability (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 20 | Three Forbidden cards make the list not format-legal; meta share is unavailable (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 40 | Requires Extra Monster Zone link timing, multi-step summons and several Limited interactions (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 43.5, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); empty_side_deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Illegal cap applied) = 34.8 + 7.0 - 9.0 = 32.8, rounded to 33
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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
- Ten Link monsters and Fusion or Synchro support give Extra Deck flexibility
- Nine hand traps and about 17 removal-text cards provide layered interaction
- Mulcharmy and searcher text give card advantage over a long round
Weaknesses
- Three Forbidden cards make the list illegal as submitted
- Only 27 percent exact-name Scareclaw purity, so engine cohesion is weak
- Empty Side Deck removes any post-side adaptation
- Only 1 of 25 archetype core cards is present
Critical choke points
- Scareclaw Reichheart, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Mulcharmy Purulia (3 copies each) are the only triple-copy starters, so a bad opening hand has few backups
- Link Summon of Scareclaw Tri-Heart depends on Main Monster Zone material
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Azamina Ilia Silvia, Cross-Sheep, Baronne de Fleur | Legal Extra Deck replacements of matching summon type | The list is illegal in OCG; removing the three Forbidden cards is required before any normal score applies |
| 2 | Off-archetype tech cards with low synergy | Scareclaw or Visas Starfrost support cards | Raises exact-name purity and engine consistency (D1, D10) |
| 3 | None | A 15-card Side Deck | Restores post-side adaptability (D12) for best-of-3 play |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality: Illegal, three Forbidden cards over copy limit; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Exact-name Scareclaw purity 27.1 percent; Only 1 of 25 archetype core cards present
- Inferred: Starter hypergeometric consistency (about 0.25 for 3-copy starters going first); Brick, interaction and pilotability reads from card text; Structural scores across all 14 dimensions
- Provisional: Meta Power is null with no dated metagame sample; D13 matchup and format fit
- 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 exists in YGOVN: going-first and going-second splits are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null Side Deck is empty
