Swordsoul Deck #764164 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro bosses from the Extra Deck (Ashtraja Susanoo, Ashtraya Mikumari-no-Mikoto, Psychic End Punisher, Ekhajar, Swordsoul Grandmaster - Chixiao) backed by negation and removal. Structural only: the list is illegal.; Fusion beatdown through Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon, which needs Fallen of Albaz support. Albion is Forbidden, so the Fallen chain is only partly reliable.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with an Ashtra monster (Mikumari, Akasuna, Yoa) that Special Summons from hand by revealing a face-down card, then find Ashtra or Swordsoul pieces with Ashtrashen or Swordsoul Emergence and build toward a Synchro. Card-text read, not a recorded line (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with 9 hand traps and tech cards (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Solemn Judgment, Ghost Ogre) to answer the opponent's first play, then Synchro through the Ashtra-family monsters (Inferred).
• Recovery: Searchers (10 searcher-text cards) and Swordsoul Emergence to rebuild the hand. Recursion from Ashtra GY-based effects per the card excerpts (Inferred).
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs no side deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

This is a Swordsoul-named list that is mostly Ashtra, Mulcharmy, Solemn, Dominus and Branded cards (exact-name purity 5.6%), so its score reflects the system it actually forms, not the archetype label. The strongest signals are the interaction suite (9 hand traps, 19 negation texts, 20 removal texts) and a Synchro Extra Deck with several 3000+ ATK bosses, which earn the closing and end-board dimensions. Consistency is the weak point: 22 Trap cards and 29 level-0 cards in a 57-card main deck create brick risk, and the 0.24 hypergeometric chance of any single three-copy starter in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred) gives an unreliable T1. The list is Illegal because it runs two Forbidden cards (Baronne de Fleur and Albion the Branded Dragon), so the final score is capped and labelled structural-only. Popularity was not used: usage data shows only one of two core cards present. No card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-10); Engine conflicts / low archetype purity (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 48.8, then context modifiers -12 = 36.8; capped to 25 because the deck is Illegal (Forbidden cards). Structural-only evaluation.

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

• Dense interaction: 9 hand traps, 19 negation texts and 20 removal texts
• Strong Synchro bosses in the Extra Deck, several at 3000 ATK or more
• Searcher density (10 searcher-text cards) for hand recovery
• Good going-second hand-trap coverage (P>=1 in hand 6 = 0.66)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: two Forbidden cards (Baronne de Fleur, Albion the Branded Dragon)
• Low exact-name archetype purity (5.6%); the engine spans several unrelated archetypes
• 22 Trap cards and 29 level-0 cards in the Main Deck create dead-draw risk
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Core Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying (in 59% of archetype decks) is absent

Critical choke points

• Starter access: each 3-copy Ashtra starter has only a 24% chance to appear in a 5-card opening hand
• Fallen of Albaz dependency for Mirrorjade and Albion, and Albion is Forbidden

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Baronne de Fleur and Albion the Branded Dragon are Forbidden with 0 legal copies; Main 57 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side 0 is allowed; Exact-name archetype purity 5.6%; 22 Traps; 29 level-0 cards; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are within limit
• Inferred: Consistency: P(3-copy starter in 5-card hand) = 0.24; P(searcher) = 0.63; Going-second hand-trap coverage: P(>=1 in 6) = 0.66; Interaction density from card text (negation 19, removal 20); Going-first and going-second plans from excerpts
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data); Side deck adaptability (no side deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Only one guide (Vietnamese OCG Swordsoul guide, 2022), with no section structure
