Forbidden Deck #764582 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 11 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual-summoned Mitsurugi boss (Ame no Murakumo no Mitsurugi 3200 ATK, Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi 2000 ATK) via Mitsurugi Ritual / Mitsurugi Mirror, with Mitsurugi searchers feeding the ritual; Extra Deck fusion/synchro/link bosses (Predaplant Triphyoverutum 3000 ATK, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma 3000 ATK, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon 2500 ATK) through Super Polymerization and Link/Fusion material chains
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon a Mitsurugi or Ritual Spell turn 1 (Mitsurugi no Mikoto searchers, Pre-Preparation of Rites, Mitsurugi Prayers) and protect the first line with Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird; this relies on the searcher text, not on a verified combo line
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Dominus Impulse, Solemn Judgment and Solemn Warning to answer the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Ragged Records and Pot of Prosperity; no combo evidence exists to confirm this
• Recovery: Recover from the GY with Ragged Records of Rites, Mitsurugi Ritual and Futsu no Mitama's GY revive effect, and Pot of Prosperity for card advantage; the rebuild is text-derived and not observed
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the Illegal copy counts would also need to be corrected before any sideboard could be assessed

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system, not from averaging its cards: a Mitsurugi ritual engine with a searcher density of 20 cards gives a strong probability of at least one searcher in the opening hand (about 0.91), and the Extra Deck supplies several 2500–3000 ATK bosses. Interaction is dense (three Ash Blossom, three Dominus Impulse, two Solemn, Droll, Crossout Designator, Harpie's Feather Duster and Lightning Storm), which lifts the end-board and interaction scores. The deck is held back by a brick-prone spread of 17 tech cards and 68 off-archetype copies (exact-name purity 2.9%), by the absence of any recorded combo boards (so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference), and by having no side deck at all. Illegal copy counts and five Forbidden cards cap the result; popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and no averaging of individual card scores was used.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-2); off-archetype dilution (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 38.6, then capped at 35 for Illegal legality status; Meta Power provisional (no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 of 20 cards gives about 0.91 chance of at least one searcher in the opening 5
• Strong interaction suite: Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Droll & Lock Bird, Crossout Designator
• Extra Deck bosses at 2500 to 3000 ATK with multiple fusion, link and synchro routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy overruns on six cards and five Forbidden cards
• Off-archetype dilution: 68 off-archetype copies, exact-name purity 2.9%
• No side deck, so no post-side or best-of-3 plan
• No recorded combos, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference

Critical choke points

• Mitsurugi Ritual and Mitsurugi Prayers, both Limited at 1 legal copy and run at 3, which is the ritual route into the main boss
• Ash Blossom and Droll are the only answers to early searches if the opponent holds a hand trap

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, 11 copy or banlist violations listed; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Card stats and text for all 55 Main and 15 Extra cards; Archetype usage: 4 of 5 core cards run; S:P Little Knight absent
• Inferred: Hypergeometric draw odds for starters, searchers and hand traps; Structural read of interaction density and brick risk; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry, so going-first, going-second and brick rates are Inferred or unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck is absent, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured deck.title is null and archetype is the placeholder label "Forbidden" (only 2 exact-name copies)
