Blackwings Deck #761258 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Control, Synchro
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 47 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blackwing synchro boards (Boreastorm, Blackwing Full Armor Master, Kusanagi, Silverwind, Onimaru) closed by Black-Winged Assault Dragon, Bystial Dis Pater and Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss; Direct pressure from Synchro boards and Nothung's 800 damage effect (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): T1 starter from Sudri, Vata or Simoon (3 copies each), or Black Whirlwind to search a Blackwing, then a 2-3 Tuner Synchro Summon (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Clear the opponent's board with Dominus Impulse, Solemn Accusation, Icarus Attack, Heavy Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster or Raigeki, then Synchro through the remains (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recur from the GY: Zephyros, Steam the Cloak, Vayu and Auster special-summon or banish from the GY; Shamal and Black Feather Whirlwind retrieve Blackwings (Inferred)
• After siding: None: side_count is 0, so the list cannot adapt between games in a best-of-3 (verified from export; may reflect the export rather than the player's list)

Why it scores here

The deck scores on how the Blackwing engine works as a system, not on the average strength of its cards. Three 3-copy starters (Sudri, Vata, Simoon) plus Black Whirlwind give roughly a 29% chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand going first, and about 34% going second, with a 94% proxy chance of at least one Blackwing archetype core card (Inferred). Recursion from the GY (Zephyros, Steam, Vayu, Auster, Shamal) and a deep Synchro Extra Deck of 15 monsters give it resilience and closing power against a single disruption. Interaction is broad (21 removal-text and 7 negation-text cards), but the list runs no hand traps and no side deck, and the combo evidence is empty, so the floor and ceiling are text-based inferences. Archetype popularity and usage stats confirm the list is a real, accessible build but did not add points; no card scores were averaged in, and Meta Power stays provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: No post-side plan (-3); No hand-trap line (-1); Banlist exposure (-1); Engine compactness (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.29 · 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

• Three 3-copy starters plus Black Whirlwind give consistent openings (Inferred)
• Recursion across GY Tuners gives multiple independent lines (Inferred)
• Five-plus Blackwing Synchros and Dis Pater / Assault Dragon give high closing ATK (Verified stat)
• Broad removal and backrow interaction (Verified text)

Weaknesses

• No hand traps, and Ash Blossom and Droll are absent despite 59% and 56% archetype inclusion (Verified usage)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation (Verified export)
• No recorded combos, so floor and ceiling are text inference only (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Starter access depends on Sudri, Vata, Simoon or Whirlwind; a single disruption to the T1 starter leaves about a 70% miss on the first 5 cards (Inferred)
• Synchro boards need Tuner + non-Tuner on field; losing the Tuner to removal breaks several Extra Deck routes (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 47, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules; All six restricted cards are within legal copies (Limited/Semi-Limited); Archetype usage: 8 of 13 core cards present by the stat join; Ash Blossom and Droll absent; Card texts and copy counts taken from the export
• Inferred: Starter, brick and resilience estimates from hypergeometric draws and text roles; Going-first and going-second power components; Interaction quality from text and role tags; Combo ceiling and floor from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability component (no tournament link)
• 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 for going-first/second, matchup, or brick/starter/OTK rates Usage stats conflict with the card list: Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant and Blackwing - Nothung the Starlight are listed in the Extra Deck (copies 1) but flagged in_this_deck=false; core_cards_present=8 may undercount Side deck is empty (side_count 0); may reflect the export rather than the player's actual list Deck title is null and archetype label (Blackwings) differs from card archetype (Blackwing), so exact-name purity reads 0% Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
