Vernusylph/Vernalizer Fairy Deck #760542 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Link boss monsters (Redox-based Dragon Ruler recursion, Superheavy Samurai Warlord Susanowo, Adamancipator Risen - Dragite, Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying) built from a multi-archetype hand of Tuners and searchers; Adamancipator excavation and Koa'ki Meiru / Superheavy board-control lines through recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Special Summon a Tuner starter (Vernusylph / Superheavy Samurai / Adamancipator) on turn 1, extend into a Synchro or Link boss using graveyard-recursion and searcher text
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle) to stop the opponent's first board, then rebuild with searchers and Synchro boss
• Recovery: Recycle graveyard monsters through Reactan, Redox, Adamancipator Mates and Revival Golem effects to rebuild the starter pool
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The list is structurally Illegal: four Forbidden cards (Borreload Savage Dragon, Superheavy Samurai Scarecrow, XX-Saber Gottoms, Baronne de Fleur) are run at one copy each, so the deck is capped and evaluated as theoretical/structural only. Within that, the 60-card Main is searcher-dense (28 searcher-text cards, about 96 percent chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred), so the deck usually finds a starter. The deck, however, spans roughly five sub-archetypes (Vernusylph, Superheavy Samurai, Adamancipator, Koa'ki Meiru, plus X-Saber, Possessed and Fleur) with 75 off-archetype copies, which weakens engine coherence and raises brick risk. Interaction is moderate (five hand traps, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Block Dragon, Knightmare Cerberus) and the Synchro/Link boss suite gives real closing power. Score is not an average of card scores, and popularity was not credited: usage statistics show the Madolche core is entirely absent, so the list is not the archetype standard.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48.6, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-11.9); Engine conflict (-6); Banlist exposure (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 46.9, then context modifiers (-10) = 36.9, then Illegal cap applied = 25. Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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

• Searcher density (28 searcher-text cards) makes a starter very likely in opening hands
• Layered hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle) cover going-second interaction
• Recursion from Reactan, Redox, Mates and Revival Golem keeps resources flowing
• Synchro and Link boss suite with 3000 ATK bosses gives real closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: four Forbidden cards at one copy each
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Five sub-archetypes with 75 off-archetype copies create engine conflicts
• No recorded combos or tournament data to validate conversion

Critical choke points

• Dependence on Synchro or Link bosses that require specific Tuner and non-Tuner pairings
• Removing the four Forbidden cards leaves a 60-card main with fewer boss options

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0 are within the OCG size rules; Four Forbidden cards over the copy limit make the list Illegal; Card text and stats for all listed cards from the export
• Inferred: Searcher-group P(>=1 in hand of 5) about 0.96; Hand-trap P(>=1 in hand of 6) about 0.42; Engine conflict and brick risk from sub-archetype spread; Interaction and closing read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates No Side Deck registered, so post-side strength cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
