Light and Darkness Ritual Deck #765196 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion or Ritual boards led by Fallen of Albaz routes into 2500-3000 ATK Fusion Monsters such as The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Albion the Branded Dragon, Alba-Lenatus and Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos; Synchro Ecclesia boards (Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon, Despian Luluwalilith) and Mulcharmy/Tri-Brigade disruption that leaves the opponent without a follow-up
• Turn 1 (going first): Branded Opening or Branded in High Spirits into Fallen of Albaz or Incredible Ecclesia, then a Fusion Summon with interaction (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Forbidden Droplet) held up
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Artifact Lancea) on the opponent's first Summon, then Fallen of Albaz or a searcher line to rebuild a Fusion board
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Pot of Sloth and Branded Retribution to refill hand; Ecclesia and Fallen of Albaz recursion from the GY
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists; the deck cannot adapt between games in its current form

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as submitted: three copies each of Ash Blossom and Joyous Spring, The Fallen and The Virtuous and Super Polymerization exceed the Semi-Limited limit of two, so its score is capped and this is a theoretical, structural-only read. The structure is strong on paper. Branded Opening, Branded in High Spirits, Incredible Ecclesia and Blazing Cartesia give a 92% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and the 14 interaction cards (negation, removal and hand traps) carry the end-board score. Offensive closing is high because several Fusion and Synchro finishers sit at 2500 to 3000 ATK. The score is not an average of card scores: it reflects the system, and the multiple engines (Branded, Fallen of Albaz, Ecclesia, Despia, Dogmatika, Tri-Brigade, Venom) cost consistency and pilotability. Archetype popularity and usage stats earned no points, and no combo boards or tournament data exist to firm up the floor or median.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary with Midrange as secondary (no Midrange weights applied; Combo profile only). Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); engine_conflicts (-4); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) + ContextModifiers(-10) = 46, then capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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: 21 searcher-text cards give about 92% chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand
• Interaction layering: 17 removal-text and 12 negation-text cards, plus 8 hand traps
• Closing power: several 2500 to 3000 ATK Fusion and Synchro finishers reachable from the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for three Semi-Limited cards
• Multiple engines with low exact-archetype purity
• No Side Deck
• No recorded combo boards to measure floor or median output

Critical choke points

• Fallen of Albaz as the hub for most Fusion, Synchro and recursion lines
• Extra Deck access: 13 Fusion monsters all depend on the Fallen of Albaz or Branded Fusion route

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: three cards run over their Semi-Limited copy limit; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side is 0; Archetype usage: 46.7% of standard core cards present; Exact-archetype purity 4.3%
• Inferred: Starter consistency (P of searcher in hand 0.92); Interaction density and end-board quality from card text; Closing power from printed ATK; Pilotability and brick estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit
• 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample deck title is null
