Charmer Deck #761960 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Master Duel

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 31/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: master-duel

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and XYZ boss monsters (Vanquish Soul Caesar Valius, Vanquish Soul Heavy Borger, Promethean Princess, Underworld Goddess, Knightmare Unicorn) backed by Vanquish Soul board presence; no reliable recorded win condition in the evidence; Snake-Eye and Diabellstar follow-up via Snake-Eye Ash, Snake-Eyes Poplar, Diabellstar the Black Witch and Sinful Spoils recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher chain (Snake-Eye Ash, Vanquish Soul Dr. Mad Love, Vanquish Soul Razen, Vanquish Soul Jiaolong) into a Link or Extra Deck boss; the Forbidden and over-limit cards cannot be legally played, so this plan is theoretical only (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, D.D. Crow or Maxx C as hand traps against the opponent's starter, then rebuild through the searchers (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover via Snake-Eye Oak and Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon revival from the GY, and Sinful Spoils recursion from the GY or banish (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This is an Illegal list, so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read capped low. The deck runs three Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave x2, Apollousa, Number 41: Bagooska) and four over-limit Limited cards (Maxx C x3, Stake your Soul! x3, WANTED: Seeker of Sinful Spoils x3, plus the Forbidden-copy overruns). Its 44-card Main Deck has 17 searcher-text cards and 10 hand traps, so the interaction and search density (D7 60) is the strongest read, but the Vanquish Soul engine is only 19 of 44 Main Deck copies and the exact Charmer name covers only 3.4 percent of copies. The score was not produced by averaging card power or by the archetype's popularity; no recorded boards, tournament link or win-rate telemetry exist, so the combo and meta dimensions are inferred from card text only, and the side deck is empty.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile only (Toolbox secondary noted, not blended, to keep the score structural and capped). Structural ≈ 41, Going First ≈ 39, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(41) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(30) = 38.8, then banlist-exposure modifier -8 = 30.8, rounded to 31. Meta provisional. Theoretical/structural-only per the Illegal rule.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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 searcher text (17 cards, P at least one in a 5-card hand = 0.93)
• High interaction density: 10 hand traps, 7 negation cards and 18 removal-text cards
• Extra Deck of 13 legal Link and XYZ bosses after the fix, with broad link-flex options

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three Forbidden cards and four over-limit Limited copies
• Engine diluted across Vanquish Soul, Snake-Eye, Diabellstar and Charmer sub-archetypes (exact Charmer name = 3.4 percent of copies)
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded combos, so the floor and ceiling are text-only
• Brick and conflict risk from many hand traps and revealing monsters that compete for the opening hand

Critical choke points

• The Vanquish Soul revealing and searcher chain on going first, with only 3 copies of the core searcher (P at least one = 0.31)
• Removing the Forbidden cards and reducing copies drops the Main Deck to 36 cards, so the list cannot be legal without new main-deck cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 3 Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave x2, Apollousa, Number 41) and 4 over-limit Limited copies; Main 44, Extra 15, Side 0; the Main Deck size is within the 40-60 range; 17 searcher-text cards, 10 hand-trap-tagged cards, 14 Link and 1 XYZ in the Extra Deck; archetype exact-name purity = 3.4 percent (2 of 59 archetype-tagged copies)
• Inferred: P at least one of 3 copies of the core searcher in a 5-card opening hand = 0.31; P at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand = 0.81; Strategy is Midrange with Toolbox secondary, from card text and composition; Ceiling and floor are text-only, given no boards
• Provisional: Meta Power is null and the format-fit dimension (D13) is provisional; no dated metagame sample or tournament link exists
• Data gaps: combos_evidence has zero boards, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match records are absent No win-rate telemetry (going first or second, matchup, brick or starter rates) Deck title is null usage_statistics core matching is inconsistent: Dharc the Dark Charmer, Gloomy (card 8264361) and Hiita the Fire Charmer, Ablaze (card 48815792) are in the Extra Deck list but are marked in_this_deck:false, so core_present_pct = 5.3 is unreliable No side deck was supplied, so post-side analysis is impossible Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
