Dark World Deck #757543 — 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 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters from the Dark World fusion, link and Xyz pool (Grapha Dragon Overlord, Clorless, Reign-Beaux Overlord, Super Starslayer TY-PHON) backed by a Danger! and Dark World searcher engine; Direct damage and board breaking from Danger! Bigfoot and Chaos Hunter, with Coach King Giantrainer as a minor reach option
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Danger! or Dark World searcher, use Dark Corridor, Genta or Reign-Beaux searches to find the next Dark World monster, and move to a Fusion or Xyz boss. Scoring depends on hand-to-field conversion, which is not verified because no boards were supplied.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Chaos Hunter, Radian and Skill Drain style interaction (Skill Drain is Limited, one copy) to stall the opponent, then rebuild through Dark World Accession and the Graveyard recursion of Snoww, Genta and Reign-Beaux. Not verified.
• Recovery: Recur Fiend monsters from the Graveyard through Dark World Accession, Snoww, Genta and Reign-Beaux, Overking, then use Dark World Dealings and Card Destruction to refill hand.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan. Penalised under D12.

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is accessible: the hypergeometric draw table puts P(at least one searcher-text card in a 5-card opening hand) near 0.83, and the archetype core of 21 copies is present with about 0.92 chance of at least one copy in hand. Consistency is held back by the list itself: 40% exact-name archetype purity, 42 off-archetype copies spread across Danger!, Chaos, Kaiju and generic cards, and a Limited-capped Card Destruction and Skill Drain. The Extra Deck carries three Forbidden cards, so the deck is illegal for OCG and the structural score is shown for reference only. No combos, tournament link or win-rate data were supplied, so the ceiling and median scores are text-based inferences; the score was built from the system (engine access, interaction, recursion, Extra Deck coverage), not from averaging the card scores or from Dark World's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); limited_key_cards (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: structural 44 and tournament reliability 42 give 0.80*44 + 0.20*42 = 43.6 before modifiers; modifiers -8 gives 35.6; capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only, Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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

• Engine access is high: the searcher group reaches ~0.83 in a 5-card opening hand and the core group ~0.92
• Dark World recursion gives Graveyard-based resilience after disruption
• Several large Extra Deck bosses with 2800-3500 ATK give closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards occupy Extra Deck slots
• Low exact-name purity (40%) and 42 off-archetype copies weaken engine coherence
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• No hand traps and only one floodgate-style card for going-second interaction

Critical choke points

• Searcher and Dark World monsters must be in hand; the opener depends on finding the core
• Extra Deck boss access depends on the Fusion/Xyz/Link materials being in the Graveyard or field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; three Forbidden cards over the copy limit (legal copies 0); Card Destruction and Skill Drain are Limited (1 copy each, legal); Exact-name purity 40%; 42 off-archetype copies; 0 hand traps
• Observed: Dark World usage stats: Card Destruction 95.8%, Snoww 87.5%, Reign-Beaux Overking 83.3% inclusion
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in 5-card hand) ~0.83 and core ~0.92 from the hypergeometric estimates; Recursion and interaction quality read from card text; Strategy is Midrange with Toolbox secondary, read from composition and card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample supplied; Matchup/format fit (D13) estimated without tournament data
• 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, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title null and no side deck registered
