Runick (Mysterune) Deck #759941 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 12 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Runick Quick-Play spells skip the Battle Phase while the Runick Fusion monsters from the Extra Deck convert the board; floodgates lock the opponent's monster effects and summons, and the end board is then attacked through; Fiend floodgates (Majesty's Fiend, Vanity's Fiend) and Skill Drain or Rivalry of Warlords to stall the opponent until a Fusion monster finishes the game
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Runick Tip, Runick Flashing Fire, or Runick Destruction to remove an opposing board piece and Special Summon a Runick Fusion monster from the Extra Deck, then keep the Quick-Play spells in hand for the opponent's turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Runick Freezing Curses, Runick Slumber, or Runick Dispelling in response to the opponent's first summon, then continue with a Fusion monster or Double Cyclone to clear backrow
• Recovery: Runick Fountain and Runick Golden Droplet (once the Fountain is trimmed to one copy) return Quick-Play spells from the GY to the bottom of the Deck and redraw them
• After siding: The Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan in the submitted list; this is a gap rather than a measured weakness

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system: Runick Quick-Play spells give it several interruptible ways to clear a board and then summon a Runick Fusion monster from the Extra Deck, and the stacked removal and negation text gives it strong end-board interaction. Consistency is moderate: the archetype core has about an 89% chance of at least one piece in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), but the 43 Spell cards, three Fiend floodgates and Fusion conditions that conflict with the engine make bricks and dead draws likely. There are no recorded boards, so ceiling and median output are text-only inferences and are scored low; no popularity or meta-share earned points, and card scores were not averaged. The list is illegal because of a Forbidden Mirage of Nightmare and three copies of a Limited Runick Fountain, so the result is capped at 30 and labelled structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Stun primary; Control secondary not separately weighted. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4); post-side plan absent (0). Final formula: Uncapped 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 47.4, then modifiers -12 gives 35.4; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Several Quick-Play spell routes that clear the opponent's board on the opponent's turn
• Stacked removal and negation text gives layered end-board interaction
• Runick Fusion monsters can be recycled through Fountain and Golden Droplet

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Mirage of Nightmare and three copies of Limited Runick Fountain
• Floodgate Fiends and Skill Drain conflict with the deck's own monster engine
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Each Runick line depends on a single Fusion monster in the Extra Deck being summonable
• Three floodgate Fiends and Skill Drain shut the deck's own monster effects

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Forbidden Mirage of Nightmare x3 (legal 0); Runick Fountain x3 (legal 1); Main 55 and Extra 12 inside the OCG size rules; Side Deck is empty (0 cards)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access about 25% per 3-copy card and about 89% archetype core (hypergeometric); Floodgate conflicts with the Fusion engine; Ceiling and floor are text-only reads
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13 excluded)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates no Side Deck supplied, so post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
