Therions Deck #764156 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 37/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Xyz/Link/Fusion
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon high-ATK Xyz and Link boss monsters (DoomZ XII End - Drastrius, Jupiter the Power Patron of Destruction, Vidolium, Mediclius) after searching and recycling Power Patron, DoomZ and Ars Magna engine pieces (Inferred from card text); Hand-trap and negation disruption (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C) to keep the opponent off a board, then overwhelm with attackers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Medius, Jupredo, DoomZ Raiders, Ars Magna Citrinitas) and try to reach a Level 4 or Power Patron boss; the hand may be thin on a second engine piece
• Turn 2 (going second): Use a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) on the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and Medius recursion
• Recovery: Recover through searchers (19 text hits) and GY recursion (Medius, Theorealize Past Lull, Tachyon Transmigration); unverified because no combo lines were recorded
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck opens reliably into a searcher: with 19 searcher-text cards, P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.89 (Inferred from the hypergeometric table). Its consistency problem is structural rather than a lack of starters, since the engines (DoomZ, Power Patron, Artmage/Ars Magna, Galaxy, PSY-Frame, Theorealize) only partly link together and about 70 of 55 main-deck copies fall outside the exact Therions archetype name. Interaction is the strongest area, with 10 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards giving the deck real going-second answers, while the boss monsters (DoomZ XII End, Jupiter, Vidolium, Drastrius) supply closing power. Median and ceiling output could not be measured because no combos were recorded, so those scores rest on text reads. The deck is Illegal because of a Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent, and it has no side deck, so under the rubric it receives only a theoretical, structural-only score; popularity and archetype share earned no points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (Midrange weights, D13 dropped and renormalized over 95 points for meta-neutral structural score). Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure_forbidden_card (-12); no_side_deck (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*53 + 0.20*35 - 12 = 37 (Illegal deck: theoretical, structural-only score)

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 searcher count (19 text hits) for a high opening-hand starter rate
• Layered interaction: 10 hand traps, 12 negation cards and 30 removal-text cards
• High-ATK boss options at Extra Deck level (Vidolium 5000, Jupiter 3500, Drastrius 2700)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden
• Low archetype purity (0% exact Therions) with engines that only partly link together
• No side deck and no combo or tournament data to confirm the deck works

Critical choke points

• Triple Tactics Talent must be removed before the deck can be legal
• A single Power Patron or DoomZ engine piece is needed to reach the boss monsters; without it the Extra Deck is mostly dead

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and run at 1 copy, giving an Illegal status; Main Deck 55 cards and Extra Deck 15 cards are within the OCG size limits; Ash Blossom and Solemn Warning run at their Semi-Limited limit of 2 copies; Vidolium has 5000 ATK, Jupiter 3500 ATK, Drastrius 2700 ATK, from card data
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in 5-card hand) about 0.89 from the hypergeometric table; Hand-trap and negation density gives going-second interaction; Engine pieces only partly link together across sub-archetypes
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because there is no dated metagame sample; D13 matchup fit is provisional and was dropped from the structural score
• 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 in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick, starter, OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck supplied, so post-side plan cannot be assessed
