Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Live Twin / Ki-sikil / Lil-la board into Evil Twin and Fiendsmith Link and Fusion finishers (e.g. Evil Twin's Trouble Sunny, Fiendsmith's Lacrima) for pressure; Unchained Soul link and Fiend-based recursion for a second board
  • Turn 1 (going first): Open a Live Twin starter (Ki-sikil or Lil-la) with Sunny's Snitch or Tract to reach Evil Twin / Fiendsmith links; hand traps held for the opponent's turn (Inferred)
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, Maxx C, Ghost Belle, Impermanence) to disrupt the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through the Live Twin GY recursion (Inferred)
  • Recovery: Recover via Lil-la/Ki-sikil GY special summons and Unchained Soul GY effects; Fiendsmith's Tract/Engraver searches to rebuild (Inferred)
  • After siding: Not applicable: no side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in OCG: Knightmare Gryphon and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar are both Forbidden and run one copy each, and it has zero side deck, so under the rubric it receives only a theoretical, structural-only score capped at 20. Structurally the list reaches its Live Twin starters in about 34% of 5-card openers for 3-copy cards (hypergeometric, Inferred), and it has heavy hand-trap coverage (10 hand-trap tags, about 85% to hold one in a 6-card hand going second), which supports a stable going-second plan. The combo ceiling and median cannot be read because no recorded boards exist, so D3 and D4 rest on card text alone. Archetype purity is only 1.8% across roughly 15 sub-archetypes (Live Twin, Fiendsmith, Unchained, Evil Twin, Mulcharmy, Dominus, Forbidden, etc.), so engine coherence is weak and the score was not built from averaging card scores or from popularity, which was not a factor here.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 50 P(at least one 3-copy starter in 5-card hand) = 0.338; Live Twin starters are the core but the engine is split across sub-archetypes (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 45 Many hand traps and negations (10 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards) compete with monster starters, so hands risk being non-functional (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 45 No parseable boards; ceiling estimated from text only: Evil Twin links and Sunny's Trouble give a high-output line if the starter is live (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 35 combos_evidence has total_combos 0; the median output is unmeasured, so this score is a cautious text-only read (Provisional)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 50 Multiple hand-trap and starter routes plus GY recursion (Live Twin, Unchained) give partial redundancy after a single interruption (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 50 Searchers (Tract, Engraver, Sunny's Snitch) and GY revival give some resource recovery, but no measured resource signature exists (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 55 Interaction is broad (Forbidden Crown, Impermanence, Dominus Spark, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird) but the Forbidden Caesar and Gryphon are illegal and cannot be counted (Inferred)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 55 Going-second hand traps are high (about 85% at least one in 6 cards), but there is no going-second combo split data (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 55 Sunny's Trouble at 3300 ATK and Lacrima's -600 ATK field effect give a closing threat, though the illegal Caesar and Gryphon cannot be relied on (Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 40 40 main cards across 21 distinct names with 1.8% exact-archetype purity; many off-archetype copies lower coherence (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 45 15 Extra Deck cards (12 Link, 2 Xyz, 1 Fusion) with several Forbidden or Limited Link and Xyz options, so flexibility is limited by the legal constraint (Verified composition)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side adaptability (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No tournament_context and no dated metagame; archetype share is unavailable, so this is provisional (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 35 Many sub-archetype interactions, multi-step Link summons and hand-trap timing create high decision complexity (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo profile used; secondary strategy noted but not weighted. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 44, Going Second ≈ 47, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); engine_conflicts (-4); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame (Meta provisional): 0.80*46 + 0.20*42 = 45.6, then context modifiers -12 gives about 34, then the Illegal theoretical cap sets the final to 20. The evaluation is 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

  • Hand-trap and negation density gives strong going-second disruption (Inferred)
  • Three-copy Live Twin starters (Ki-sikil, Lil-la) give a repeatable first summon (Inferred)
  • Searchers and GY revival give some recovery across turns (Inferred)

Weaknesses

  • Illegal in OCG: two Forbidden Extra Deck cards are run at one copy each
  • Very low archetype purity (1.8%) across roughly 14 sub-archetypes, weakening engine coherence
  • No side deck, so no adaptation and no best-of-3 plan
  • No recorded boards, so the combo output is unmeasured

Critical choke points

  • Live Twin starters (Ki-sikil / Lil-la) are the first-turn engine; without one live in hand the deck has few other openers (Inferred)
  • Forbidden Gryphon and Caesar, if left in place, make the list unplayable as a whole
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Knightmare Gryphon A legal Extra Deck Link that fits the Fiend / Live Twin plan (for example, a Link already in the deck's Link pool) Forbidden in OCG; the list cannot be played legally until it is removed
2 D/D/D Wave High King Caesar A legal Extra Deck Xyz or Fusion that the engine can reach from the GY or field Forbidden in OCG; a second required fix for legality
3 Off-archetype copies (about 54 cards) A more coherent core around one or two sub-archetypes (Live Twin with Evil Twin, or Fiendsmith) 1.8% exact purity dilutes the engine and weakens D1 and D10 (Inferred)

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legality: Illegal (two Forbidden cards at one copy each); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Copy histogram and Extra Deck breakdown; Exact-name archetype purity 1.8%
  • Inferred: Starter access 0.338 for a 3-copy card in a 5-card hand (hypergeometric); Going-second hand-trap coverage about 85% in a 6-card hand; Engine and combo plans from card text
  • Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament_context)
  • 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 (brick, starter, OTK rates) so those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered
