Tistina Deck #753583 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tistina Xyz and Power Patron Extra Deck beaters (Tistina, the Divinity that Defies Darkness; Jupiter; Nerva; Vidolium at 5000 ATK) once the Tistina field-spell engine has put a board in place; Link and Synchro beats (Junora, Exceed the Pendulum, Knightmare Unicorn) and Demigod/Miasma Tistina beatdown through the Power Patron and Artmage support monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Set Divine Domain Baatistina from the Field Zone by sending a Tistina monster, then use Play of the Tistina and Tistina searchers to reach a Crystal God or Demigod body while holding Ash Blossom and Solemn Warning up. Recorded boards are absent, so the exact sequence is Inferred from card text only.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, D.D. Crow, Droll & Lock Bird and Solemn Warning as hand interaction in a six-card hand, then rebuild through Tistina searchers. Hand-trap density is Inferred from text and probabilities.
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY through Fallen of the Tistina (banish to Special Summon once a Tistina Spell/Trap is destroyed), Returned of the Tistina, and Medius the Pure, which can re-enter from the GY. The rate of this recovery is Inferred, not measured.
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck was scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its Tistina core (Play of the Tistina, Divine Domain Baatistina, Ash Blossom, Fallen of the Tistina) gives the main deck a functional starter, with P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opener) ≈ 0.78, but the core is thin and sits beside 53 off-archetype copies across Power Patron, Artmage, Solemn, D.D., Mulcharmy and DoomZ, which lowers brick management and main-deck efficiency. Interaction is the deck's strongest area: Ash, Solemn Warning, Droll and D.D. Crow give layered negation and hand-trap coverage, and the Extra Deck supplies large closing bodies. Ceiling and median output could not be measured because there are no recorded boards, so both scores are Inferred from text alone. The deck is Illegal in OCG as built: four Forbidden cards, and four cards over their copy limit. Under the rubric it is capped at 25 and labelled structural-only. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, since only 7 of 25 core usage cards are present.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 47.6, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 34.5 pre-cap; capped at 25 (structural-only, Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.22 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered interaction: Ash Blossom, Solemn Warning, Droll and D.D. Crow give hand-trap and negation coverage
• Real archetype core: Play of the Tistina and Baatistina are at 3 copies, and the core group opens at about 78%
• High-impact Extra Deck threats: Vidolium 5000 ATK, Jupiter 3500 ATK, Nerva 3300 ATK, and Tistina's Crystal God route

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: four Forbidden cards and four cards over copy limits
• Low exact-name purity (29.3%) across Power Patron, Artmage, Solemn, DoomZ and other sub-archetypes
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Misses most of the usage-stat core (7 of 25 cards present)

Critical choke points

• The Divine Domain Baatistina and Play of the Tistina starter line, with about 0.23 per-copy chance in an opener of 5
• Single-copy Extra Deck threats (Tistina, Crystal God route) that depend on specific material
• Dependence on Forbidden cards removed from the list before the deck can be legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal under the OCG ban list (Forbidden and Limited copy counts above); Composition: 60 main, 15 extra, 0 side; 29.3% exact-name Tistina purity; Usage stats: 7 of 25 core usage cards present (28%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access (P ≈ 0.78 for the core group); Brick and garnet burden from searcher and off-archetype counts; Interaction quality from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: 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 for going-first/second, matchups, or brick/starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
