End of the World Deck #765683 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control, Ritual
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual and Link/Xyz boards led by Mitsurugi Ritual Monsters and Ruler of the End of the World, with Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi and Futsu no Mitama no Mitsurugi as the main threats; Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord and Super Starslayer TY-PHON in the Extra Deck, if the Extra Deck summon lines are reached
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Mitsurugi starters (Aramasa, Saji, Kusanagi, Wousu) with Mitsurugi Ritual or Mitsurugi Prayers, then Ritual Summon a Reptile threat and protect it with Ash Blossom, Solemn Judgment or Called by the Grave
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Droll & Lock Bird, Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit to stop the opponent's summons, then Ritual Summon through the board
• Recovery: Recover the Mitsurugi core from the GY through Mitsurugi Magatama, Mitsurugi Mirror and the Mitsurugi monsters' search effects
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Mitsurugi starter most of the time: P(at least one of the 30 archetype-core cards in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.98, and the search effects lead into the Ritual Summons. Its interaction density is high, with 12 negation-text cards, 16 removal-text cards and 11 hand traps. Conversion is limited by the lack of recorded boards, so the ceiling and floor are text-only inferences. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is real, but they did not add points. Scores come from the deck as a system, not from averaging card scores. The list is Illegal because of copy-limit violations and a Forbidden card, so the score is capped and labelled structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Control secondary (structural weights only). Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 52 uncapped; Illegal cap applied, final 30

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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-card access is very high (P≈0.98 for the 30-card archetype core in a 5-card hand)
• Dense negation and hand-trap package
• Search and recursion chains from the Mitsurugi monsters

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on Pre-Preparation of Rites, Ash Blossom, Mitsurugi Prayers and a Forbidden Extra Deck card
• No side deck
• No recorded boards, so the ceiling and floor are unverified

Critical choke points

• Mitsurugi Ritual and the Reptile Tribute requirement
• Forbidden Bagooska in the Extra Deck makes the list illegal as built

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, with four copy-limit or Forbidden violations; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 (within size rules); Core-card inclusion from usage statistics
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from card text; Ceiling and floor from card text only
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no meta sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup signals unknown no side deck registered Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample
