Light and Darkness Ritual Deck #764912 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fallen of Albaz-based Fusion Summons (The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Albion the Branded Dragon, Mirrorjade) and Black Chaos beatdown off Light and Darkness Ritual; Ritual Summon of Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos, recurred through Skull Archfiend of Chaos and the GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Branded Opening or Nadir Servant into Fallen of Albaz or Aluber to reach a Fusion Summon, with Ash Blossom and Droll as protection of the starter
• Turn 2 (going second): Droll & Lock Bird and Mulcharmy Fuwalos for card advantage, Pot of Sloth to refill, then a Fallen of Albaz or Ecclesia line through the board
• Recovery: Searchers (Branded Opening, Dogmatika Ecclesia, Light and Darkness Ritual) and Mulcharmy draw-on-summon to rebuild after a hand trap or Feather Duster
• After siding: No Side Deck is run, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: three cards (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, The Fallen & The Virtuous, Super Polymerization) run 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so the score below is a theoretical, structural-only read and not a normal Final Contextual score. Structurally the deck reliably reaches a Fallen of Albaz starter (about 0.72 for the archetype-core group in an opening 5) and has real end-board and closing power through 2800-3000 ATK Fusion and Ritual threats plus eight hand traps and Dominus Spark for interaction. It is held back by a conflicting engine: 67 of 55 main slots are off-archetype copies, the exact archetype name covers only 4.3% of the main, and Branded, Despia, Dogmatika, Albaz and Ritual lines compete for the same hand. The deck has no Side Deck, and no combo boards or tournament data are present, so combo floor, ceiling and matchup fit are text-based inferences. The score was not produced by averaging card scores or by the archetype's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Copy-limit violations (Illegal list) (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers, capped low because the list is Illegal; theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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

• Core archetype group reaches a starter in the opening 5 about 72% of the time (Inferred)
• Layered interaction: 8 hand traps, Dominus Spark, Feather Duster, Droll and Called by the Grave
• High closing power with 2500-3000 ATK Fusion and Ritual threats

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on three Semi-Limited cards
• Three archetypes compete for one hand, with only 4.3% exact-archetype purity
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• High pilot complexity across Fusion material choices

Critical choke points

• Dependence on Fallen of Albaz as the Fusion gateway for most Extra Deck threats
• Limited-status cards (Branded Fusion, Called by the Grave, Gold Sarcophagus, Feather Duster) are single copies, so a single hand or GY loss removes a line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side, sizes legal for TCG; 3 copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, The Fallen & The Virtuous, Super Polymerization); Card text and stats for all 29 main and 13 extra distinct cards in evidence; Archetype-core inclusion statistics (Mulcharmy Fuwalos 94%, Droll & Lock Bird 94%, Ash Blossom 83%); Exact-archetype purity 4.3%
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.72 (archetype-core) and ≈ 0.92 (searcher group) from hypergeometric draw estimates; Brick and conflict risk from multi-archetype composition; Interaction quality from text role hints and copy counts; Going-first and going-second estimates from text and card roles
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13) and Tournament Reliability
• 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, brick or starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck supplied, so D12 cannot be assessed beyond composition
