Bystial/Byssted Deck #761852 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 39/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-chain Maliss/Bystial board: Link Summons from the Extra Deck (Red Ransom, Hearts Crypter, Zealantis, Accesscode Talker) backed by 2500-ATK Bystial beaters and Maliss pressure; Bystial Druiswurm / Magnamhut / Baldrake 2500-ATK bodies returned from the GY by their own banish-from-GY Special Summon
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Maliss and Backup/Wizard @Ignister starters, build a Link around Cyberse/Maliss monsters, and protect the first Link with Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird and Nibiru as interaction, then land a Link Summon on the next turn
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY with Bystial Druiswurm/Magnamhut/Baldrake banish-and-Special-Summon, Maliss Trap recursion, and Link-material recursion
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

This is a structural-only score because the list is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom and 3 of Dominus Impulse (2 legal each) and 2 of Allure of Darkness (1 legal), so no normal Final Contextual score is issued. The system reads as a Maliss/Bystial Link engine whose archetype core is well represented (P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.89, Inferred), so it can usually open a live starter. Its interaction density is the strongest part of the structure: 13 hand-trap-tagged cards and 13 negation-text cards give it a good chance to answer a going-second board (P(≥1 hand trap in a 6-card hand) ≈ 0.82, Inferred). Conversion and floor are unmeasured, since no combos were supplied, so the ceiling and median stay text-inferred and low-confidence. Popularity was not credited (archetype usage is only context), and the 14 dimension scores were not averaged from individual card scores. The deck has no Side Deck, which caps tournament reliability and any post-side claim.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun/Toolbox noted as secondary but not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (-12). Final formula: Theoretical structural-only for an Illegal list: 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 51 before modifiers; Meta provisional; modifiers −12 applied for copy-limit illegality → 39

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• Dense hand-trap and negation package (13 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards) that survives first-turn disruption
• Core archetype cards are reliably present in openers (≈0.89)
• Full, all-Link Extra Deck with several 2300–2500 ATK closers

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three cards exceed their Semi-Limited/Limited copy caps
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• 70 off-archetype copies and 19 tech cards dilute the engine
• No recorded combo boards, so conversion and median output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• A Link Summon that depends on a single Maliss Link Monster as the first board presence
• Limited/Semi-Limited restrictions: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse each over the limit by one copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side; three copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Allure of Darkness); Banlist statuses for 14 restricted cards in the tcg BanList; Composition counts: 13 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards, 15 Link Extra Deck monsters; Archetype usage: Ash Blossom, Magnamhut and Druiswurm present at 88–100% inclusion
• Inferred: Consistency: archetype core P(≥1 in 5-card hand) ≈ 0.89; brick proxy ≈ 0.11; Going-second interaction: P(≥1 hand trap in 6-card hand) ≈ 0.82; Interaction quality and resilience from card text (negation, removal, recursion); Ceiling and offensive closing power from ATK values and Link text
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13) and Meta Power: no dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability: no tournament link or per-pilot record
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No Side Deck: post-side plan cannot be scored No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Guides: 0 snippets for this archetype
