Dark World Deck #763238 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck boards from Grapha, Dragon Lord of Dark World and Reign-Beaux recursion off Dark World monsters, with Link and Fusion finishers; Veidos and Danger! monsters through Dark World recursion and Danger! discard-redraw card flow
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Danger! or Dark World starter, use the discard-redraw and searcher text to find Reign-Beaux or Grapha, then extend to a Link or Fusion board (Inferred, no recorded lines)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Artifact Lancea and the 3 hand traps to interrupt the first board, then recover through GY-revival monsters (Inferred)
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY using Reign-Beaux and Grapha special-summon text, plus Dark World Accession and Dark Corridor to search (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG: four Forbidden copies (Triple Tactics Talent, Knightmare Goblin, Knightmare Gryphon, Dugares the Timeless) are in the deck, so it is scored as a theoretical, structural-only read and capped at 20. The Dark World core (Reign-Beaux, Grapha, Snoww, Ceruli, Sillva) and the Danger! discard-redraw engine give a reasonable chance of opening a live starter (P(at least one of a 3-copy card in a 5-card hand) about 0.24; P(at least one archetype-core card in hand) about 0.84, Inferred). The deck has no recorded boards, so combo ceiling and median are text-only estimates, and it has no side deck, which limits post-side adaptability. Archetype usage stats confirm this is a real, accessible list, but popularity did not earn points. The score comes from consistency, interaction density and the Extra Deck system, not from averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary, disclosed as an approximation. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical structural-only. Base = 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 49.8 (Meta provisional); capped at 20 because the list contains 4 Forbidden OCG cards.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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

• Dark World core has 3-copy Reign-Beaux, Snoww and Ceruli with GY recursion text
• Danger! discard-redraw engine gives hand smoothing
• Three hand traps and three removal-text cards add layered interaction
• Extra Deck has Link, Fusion and Xyz finishers

Weaknesses

• Four Forbidden OCG copies make the list illegal
• No Side Deck
• No recorded boards; combo ceiling and median are unknown
• Low exact-name purity, so the engine spreads across several sub-archetypes

Critical choke points

• Reliance on Dark World starters being drawn: 3-copy starter odds in hand of 5 are about 0.24
• Illegal copy count must be fixed before any competitive read applies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Four Forbidden OCG copies are in the deck; Main 58 and Extra 15 sizes are within OCG limits; Limited cards run at legal count (Allure of Darkness, Card Destruction, Harpie's Feather Duster); No Side Deck is present; Archetype usage stats available (19 rows)
• Inferred: Starter and core odds from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density and hand-trap value from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text and archetype guides
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample, 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 record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown No dated metagame sample, so Meta Power stays provisional No Side Deck, so post-side scores are structural only Deck title is null in the export
