Relinquished Deck #757692 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Light and Darkness Ritual Ritual Summons (Black Chaos 3000 ATK, Black Luster Soldier 3000 ATK, Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos 2800 ATK) backed by Clown Crew board pressure; Clown Crew Biancaviso 2500 ATK and Extra Deck Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link boards, with Clown Crew Diabolo piercing
• Turn 1 (going first): Clown Crew Rehearsal or Light and Darkness Ritual searchers into a Ritual Summon of Black Chaos or Black Luster Soldier, with Mind Shuffle and Ragged Records of Rites as the search package
• Turn 2 (going second): Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird and Solemn Strike to slow the opponent's first line, then a Ritual or Clown Crew follow-up. Forbidden cards are illegal here, so the plan cannot be run as built
• Recovery: Mind Shuffle, Light and Darkness Ritual from the GY, and Ragged Records of Rites rebuild the Ritual line from Deck and GY resources
• After siding: None. The deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan in a best-of-3

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a system: Ritual Summon access through Light and Darkness Ritual, a Clown Crew board that gives extra pressure, and an Extra Deck mixing Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link monsters. The searcher package is dense (22 searcher-text cards, about 91% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred), so the deck usually finds a starter, but the Ritual line depends on two specific cards and a 36% chance of holding one of the five core copies. Interaction is broad (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Solemn Strike, Crossout Designator), which supports the end-board score. The score is capped low because the deck is illegal in OCG: it runs 3 Kashtira Fenrir and 1 Called by the Grave (both Forbidden), 3 Ash Blossom and 3 Super Polymerization (limit 2), and 2 Droll and Lock Bird (limit 1). It also has no Side Deck and no recorded boards or match data, so the structural score of about 51 is theoretical. Popularity and archetype usage did not add points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-3). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical only. Unrounded 0.80*51 + 0.20*40 = 48.8, then modifiers -11 gives 37.8, capped at 25 under the illegal-deck rule. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

• Broad searcher density (22 cards) makes a starter likely in the opening hand
• Layered negation package (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Solemn Strike, Crossout Designator)
• Strong 3000-ATK end-boards from the Ritual line

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 5 copy/banlist violations, including Forbidden cards
• No Side Deck
• Multi-archetype spread (6 sub-archetypes, 0% exact-archetype purity) weakens engine coherence
• Ritual line rests on a few specific cards (archetype core open ≈ 36%)

Critical choke points

• Light and Darkness Ritual and Black Chaos/Black Luster Soldier as the main pressure line
• Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir and Called by the Grave cannot be run in OCG

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 60 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; 5 copy/banlist violations (Forbidden: Kashtira Fenrir, Called by the Grave); Card text and stats for all resolved cards; Archetype usage: 5 core cards, 2 present (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird)
• Inferred: Starter probability 0.91 and archetype-core probability 0.36 (hypergeometric); Ritual line ceiling from card text (Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Dark Chaos); Interaction quality from negate and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament or meta data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck
