Morganite Deck #754998 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz boss pressure from the Extra Deck (Number 85: Crazy Box 3000 ATK, Number S39/39: Utopia, Performage Trapeze Magician 2500 ATK); Negation-based grind: hand/field interaction (Iron Thunder, Songs of the Dominators, Solemn Warning) backed by searchers and draw
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a searcher (Spellbook of Knowledge, Spirit Charmers, Pot of Duality, Spellbook Magician of Prophecy) to reach a Level 4 Xyz line; use Time-Tearing Morganite for extra draw in the Draw Phase when the hand is thin (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold interaction (Iron Thunder, Songs of the Dominators, Solemn Warning, Dominus Spark) to answer the opponent's first board and convert with a Xyz boss; no hand traps are present to force it (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through the 16 searcher-text cards and Upstart Goblin draw; Morgana and Gagaga-family Xyz can be rebuilt from the Deck when the GY is loaded (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in OCG: it runs 3 copies of Solemn Warning against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score and is capped at 25 with a theoretical/structural-only label. Its Structural read (about 44) comes from system-level traits: heavy searcher density (16 search-text cards) and broad interaction (17 negation-text and 16 removal-text cards) that give it grind and stay-in-the-game value. Consistency is weak: only 4 of 40 Main Deck cards are exactly named Morganite (7.3%), the list spreads across about 14 archetype fragments, and the opening-hand odds for any single 3-copy starter are only about 0.34 on the play. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points: only 2 of 8 archetype-standard core cards are present, and the score was not derived by averaging card scores. The deck has no Side Deck, no hand traps, and no recorded combo boards, so ceiling, median and post-side claims stay Inferred or provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 36, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_copy_limit_exposure (-10); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(43.9) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + Modifiers(-12) ≈ 30; illegal-deck cap applied: min(30, 25) = 25 (Meta provisional; theoretical/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

• Dense search and draw: 16 searcher-text cards plus Upstart Goblin and Spellbook of Knowledge
• Broad interaction package: 17 negation-text and 16 removal-text cards across Traps, Xyz effects and Morgana
• High-ATK Xyz closers in the Extra Deck (Number 85: Crazy Box 3000 ATK; Utopia and Performage 2500 ATK)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count: 3 Solemn Warning against a Semi-Limited limit of 2
• Low archetype coherence: 7.3% exact Morganite-name purity across about 14 archetype fragments
• Only 2 of 8 usage-statistics core cards are present (25%); Succumbing-Song Morganite, Mudragon of the Swamp, Change of Heart, Super Polymerization, Solemn Judgment and Garura are absent
• No hand traps or floodgates to play on the opponent's turn
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation

Critical choke points

• Solemn Warning is over the copy limit, so the list is not legal as built
• Morgana's negate needs a Morganite Spell in the GY; the list has few Morganite Spells to fuel it (Inferred from card text)
• Without its core Morganite cards the deck depends on generic searchers and Xyz bosses with no archetype engine (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal: Solemn Warning 3 copies vs Semi-Limited limit 2 (OCG BanList); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 (legal main and extra counts); Archetype purity 7.3% exact-name; 14 archetype fragments; Searcher text 16; negation text 17; removal text 16; hand traps 0; Usage statistics: 2 of 8 core cards present (25%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand hypergeometric odds (0.34 for a 3-copy card in 5 cards); Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Floor, median and ceiling assessed from text only (no combo boards); Interaction durability and Morgana negate fuel
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample; archetype share not available); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• 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/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; the deck has no Side Deck registered Time-Tearing Morganite has archetype null despite the Morganite name; purity counts are taken as given
