Mikanko Deck #760050 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Mikanko Equip-and-Ritual board: Ohime and Ha-Re Equip recursion and Special Summon chains building Xyz/Synchro/Link boards, with Mikanko Fire Dance and Mayowashidori protecting the boss from card effects; Extra Deck boss monsters (Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Xyz Armor Torpedo) once the Equip board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Mikanko starters and Equip Spells, set up Ohime or Hu-Li for Ritual or Extra summons, and keep Solemn and Ash Blossom up as protection against the opponent's first disruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Nibiru, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C and Droll & Lock Bird to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild Mikanko Equip recursion from the Graveyard
• Recovery: Mikanko Shinbu, Mikanko Promise and Mikanko Spiritwalk return cards from the Graveyard and Deck to rebuild the Equip board after interaction
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero side-deck cards, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The Mikanko core is reliable on paper: 27 archetype copies give an estimated 97 percent chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the Equip and Ritual chain gives the deck several independent starters. Interaction is dense, with nine hand traps and eight negation-text cards including Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Nibiru, Solemn Judgment and Solemn Accusation, which lifts the endboard and going-second dimensions. Combo output is not measured: no boards were supplied, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference and are scored conservatively. The deck has no side deck, which caps post-side adaptability near zero, and it runs one Forbidden card, so the list is illegal and does not receive a normal contextual score. Popularity and archetype usage were not used to raise the score, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary with Stun/Toolbox context; Combo profile used for structural weights. Structural ≈ 56.3, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); No side deck (-4); Illegal list cap (-17). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 54 - 12 - 17 illegal cap; theoretical/structural-only, score capped to 25

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Core Mikanko engine with about 97 percent opening-hand access to at least one core card
• Dense, layered interaction: 9 hand traps, 8 negation-text cards and 2 Solemn cards
• Multiple Extra Deck boss routes across Xyz, Synchro and Link

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Baronne de Fleur is Forbidden and must be removed
• No side deck at all, which removes best-of-3 adaptability
• Low exact-name purity (34.3 percent) with many single-copy generic and tech cards that may brick
• Long, error-prone Ritual, Equip and Extra-summon sequences

Critical choke points

• Mikanko Equip Spell and Ritual enablers: losing Ohime or the Equip chain to hand traps or a single removal stops the engine
• Single-copy support cards that become dead when the opponent answers the Equip target

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is OCG with 55 main, 15 extra and 0 side cards; Baronne de Fleur is Forbidden with 0 legal copies and 1 copy run, which makes the list illegal; Archetype exact-name purity is 34.3 percent; Copy histogram: 21 singles, 5 doubles, 8 triples
• Inferred: Core access of about 97 percent at least one card in a 5-card hand; Hand-trap access of about 68 percent at least one in a 6-card hand going second; Interaction density is high from card text; Consistency and brick estimates are hypergeometric and text-based
• Provisional: Matchup fit and Meta Power, since no dated metagame sample exists
• 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 exists in YGOVN for this deck Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck is illegal, so the final score is a capped theoretical reading
