Familiar-Possessed Deck #758327 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boards built from Charmer Fusions, K9 Xyz monsters (K9-X Werewolf, K9-17 Ripper) and Link monsters, backed by hand traps that protect the setup; Number-based Xyz chain (N.As.H. Knight into CXyz N.As.Ch. Knight) for a single large attacker
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a searcher (Spellbook Magician of Prophecy, Spellbook of Secrets, Eria/Hiita/Aussa/Wynn channelers, or K9-66b Lantern) and build toward a Fusion or Xyz, holding Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence for the first disruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird) against the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through the searcher chain
• Recovery: Recover through Mulcharmy draw effects, Ghost Belle and Wynn/Eria searches, and K9-X Forced Release to re-Xyz from the Extra Deck
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered in the export, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional plan at roughly the rate its searcher density predicts: 19 searcher-text cards give about an 0.87 chance of at least one in a five-card opening hand, while the archetype core of six copies gives only about 0.43 (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from Charmer Fusions and K9 Xyz monsters reached through the searcher chain, and its interruption resilience comes from ten hand traps and multiple negate effects. The median output cannot be measured because the export contains no recorded boards, so the floor is an Inferred estimate only. The score is not earned by Familiar-Possessed being an established archetype, and the card scores were not averaged; the deck is scored as a system. The list is Illegal in OCG (three Forbidden cards and four copies over Limited or Semi-Limited limits), so the score is capped at 35 and labelled theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 38.6, capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural only); Meta Power provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · 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

• Nineteen searcher-text cards give a high chance of a live opening hand
• Ten hand traps and multiple negate effects give layered interaction
• K9-X Werewolf and Number-based Xyz routes provide a closing threat

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards and four copies over the copy limit
• Three archetype engines (Spellbook, Charmer, K9) dilute the core, with only six core copies
• Tech-heavy main deck with many level-0 cards raises brick risk

Critical choke points

• Any opponent disruption before the first Fusion or Xyz summon stalls the deck, since the archetype core is open only about 0.43 of the time
• The Forbidden cards would have to be removed before the list is playable in OCG

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: three Forbidden cards and four copies over legal limits; Main 58, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Searcher, hand trap and negation text counts from role tags; Usage: 75% core present
• Inferred: At least one searcher in five cards about 0.87; Archetype core open in five cards about 0.43; Brick risk from tech density; Going-second hand trap coverage about 0.70; Closing power from K9-X Werewolf and Number-based routes
• Provisional: Median output and format fit (no recorded boards or dated meta)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck registered in the export
