Evil Twin Deck #757453 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Evil Twin Link engine (Ki-sikil / Lil-la Links such as Evil Twin's Trouble Sunny, Unchained Enma Lord Yama) converting a Link board into 3000+ ATK pressure; Unchained recursion and Fiendsmith Lacrima / Requiem board pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Live Twin Ki-sikil or Live Twin Sunny's Snitch, search an Evil Twin engine piece with Secret Password, Link Summon an Evil Twin Link, then use Maxx C and Infinite Impermanence to protect the board
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Red Reboot, Maxx C) to break the opponent's starter, then convert the surviving Evil Twin or Unchained Link into a board
• Recovery: Reboot the engine from the GY through Live Twin Lil-la Sweet and Unchained recursion (Reincarnation of the Unchained, Unchained Soul Lord of Yama)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional Live Twin or Unchained starter in most hands: the archetype-core group (16 copies) has an estimated 0.83 chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, but the three Ki-sikil starters alone sit near 0.25, so the Evil Twin engine itself is less consistent. Its strongest feature is interaction density: about ten hand traps plus Heavy Storm, Solemn Judgment and Harpie's Feather Duster give it a good chance to disrupt the opponent's starter or end-board, which is why going-second scores are relatively high. Conversion is not verified because no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-based inference only. The score is capped because the list is illegal: D/D/D Wave High King Caesar is Forbidden and the deck has no Side Deck. Popularity (archetype usage stats) and the individual card scores were not averaged or used to raise the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); no_side_deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-10) = 42, capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.17 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Large hand-trap and interaction suite (about 10 hand traps plus Heavy Storm, Solemn Judgment, and Harpie's Feather Duster)
• Archetype-core density: 16 core copies give about 0.83 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card hand
• Several Link threats reach 3000+ ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal: a Forbidden card (D/D/D Wave High King Caesar) is in the Extra Deck
• No Side Deck
• Off-archetype dilution: 70 of the 'Evil Twin' copies are from other sub-archetypes, with 0% exact-name purity
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Ki-sikil starter access: only about 0.25 chance to see one in a 5-card hand
• The Forbidden Extra Deck card makes the list unplayable in its format until removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 55 cards, Extra Deck 15 cards, Side 0 (OCG limits 40-60, 0-15, 0-15); D/D/D Wave High King Caesar is Forbidden and run once (over the copy limit of 0); Limited copy counts are respected (1 each), and Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run at its Semi-Limited limit of 2; Off-archetype copies 70, exact-name purity 0%
• Inferred: Core-group access is about 0.83 in a 5-card opening hand; Hand-trap density gives good interaction coverage; Going-second plan is viable through hand traps
• Provisional: Meta Power is null, since there is no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit is unknown
• Data gaps: No recorded 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, and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown) No Side Deck list Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
