Relinquished Deck #763913 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Fusion/Ritual
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a large boss from the Extra Deck (Chimera the King of Phantom Beasts, Guardian Chimera, Chimera the Illusion Beast, Berfomet, Starving Venom) off Polymerization-family spells and Fusion-enabling monsters, then use Eyes Restrict / Relinquished equips for board control; Relinquished the Wicked Eye of Illusion and Thousand-Eyes Restrict equip-and-lock plan that stops the opponent's board while the boss attacks
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening searchers (Gazelle, Nightmare Apprentice, Big-Winged Berfomet) add Chimera Fusion or a Fusion-enabling monster, then Chimera Fusion or Polymerization builds a boss (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Nibiru) break the opponent's first action, then a Fusion boss or Eyes Restrict equip takes over the board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Searchers and GY-based revival (Millennium-Eyes Illusionist, Illusionist Faceless Magician, Mirage Mirror Force) rebuild the Fusion line after a single broken turn (Inferred)
• After siding: Not available: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher almost every hand (P(at least one searcher text card in 5) is about 0.89, Inferred), and it has enough redundancy in hand traps and negations to survive one interruption. Its boss pool is strong on paper: the Extra Deck holds several 2800 to 3300 ATK bosses, and Eyes Restrict equips add a lock. The score is pulled down by the legality failure: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and the Extra Deck is 2 cards over the limit, so the list is Illegal. The deck has no combo recordings, so combo floor and ceiling are text-only inferences. The score does not come from averaging card scores or from Relinquished being a popular archetype: archetype usage data shows the list runs only 1 of 4 standard core cards, and the exact-name archetype purity is 1.4%.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); extra_deck_overflow (-4); illegal_cap (0). Final formula: Structural 54 -> 0.80*54 + 0.20*40 = 51.2, plus modifiers -10 = 41.2, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (Meta Power provisional, no dated meta sample)

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

• Searcher density: about 0.89 chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5 (Inferred)
• Layered interaction: 6 hand traps, 10 negation-text cards, and Eyes Restrict equip-and-lock options (Inferred)
• Strong Extra Deck bosses: Guardian Chimera 3300, Chimera the Illusion Beast 3100, Chimera the King 2100 with burst ATK from Fusion (Verified)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Albion and a 17-card Extra Deck over the 15-card cap (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• Low archetype purity: 1.4% exact-name, 68 off-archetype copies (Observed)
• No combo recordings, so output and ceiling are unmeasured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• The Fusion boss depends on Polymerization-family spells and Fusion-enabling monsters, which are 2-copy or 1-copy pieces (Inferred)
• Albion is Forbidden, so the Branded Fusion route cannot be run legally (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and the deck runs 1 copy (illegal); Extra Deck is 17 cards, above the OCG limit of 15; Main Deck is 52 cards, inside the 40-60 range; The deck has 0 Side Deck cards; Branded Fusion, Instant Fusion and Maxx C are Limited at 1 copy each (legal); Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are Semi-Limited at 2 copies each (legal)
• Observed: Archetype purity: 1.4% exact-name, 68 off-archetype copies; Usage stats: the deck runs 2 of 4 standard core cards (Maxx C and Relinquished the Wicked Eye of Illusion)
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in 5-card hand) about 0.89; Going-second hand traps give resilience against a first action; Eyes Restrict equip line is fragile because its key pieces are single-copy; Brick risk is elevated by 22 one-copy cards
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit: no dated meta sample or 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
