Bystial Deck #765950 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Bystial Level 6 DARK Dragon engine (Saronir, Druiswurm, Magnamhut) feeding Lubellion and Extra-Deck Link/Xyz bosses, protected by hand traps; Extra-Deck bosses (Chaos Angel 3500 ATK, Levianeer 3000 ATK, Super Starslayer 2900 ATK) once materials are present
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Saronir or a hand trap (Veiler, Droll, Ghost Ogre, Crow) to protect the first summon, then recover through GY banish summons
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (9 cards, about 0.91 chance of one in six cards) and Forbidden Droplet to break the opponent's first board, then extend with Lubellion and Extra-Deck monsters
• Recovery: Banish LIGHT/DARK monsters from the GY to Special Summon Collapserpent, Wyverburster or Levianeer, and use searcher text (10 cards) to refill the hand
• After siding: None: the list runs 0 Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan can be verified

Why it scores here

Scored as a connected Midrange system with a Stun secondary, not as an average of card scores. Nine hand traps (Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, D.D. Crow, Ghost Ogre) plus two Forbidden Droplet give a high chance of interaction on the second turn (about 0.91 of at least one hand trap in six cards, Inferred), and GY-banish Special Summons (Saronir, Collapserpent, Wyverburster, Levianeer) provide recovery after disruption. The first-turn engine is the weak point: the 3-copy Bystial Saronir starter appears in a five-card opening hand only about 43% of the time (Inferred), and with no recorded boards the ceiling and median are text-derived. The Extra Deck (5 Link, 3 Xyz, 1 Synchro) supplies boss threats up to 3500 ATK, but several of those summons need Level 6 or Level 12 materials that the main deck only partly supplies. Archetype popularity confirms the list is real and accessible, and it did not add points; the usage-stat core check that reports 68% presence ignores the Extra Deck and is corrected here to all 25 core cards present.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 67, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: extra_deck_dependence (-3); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · 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 hand-trap package (9 hand traps plus 2 Forbidden Droplet) with strong going-second coverage
• Multiple independent summon routes from the GY (Saronir, Collapserpent, Wyverburster, Levianeer, Lubellion)
• Searcher text on 10 cards keeps the hand functional
• Extra Deck supplies high-ATK bosses (3000-3500 ATK)
• Legal: Semi-Limited cards at 1 copy each within the 2-copy limit

Weaknesses

• Bystial Saronir is the main engine starter and appears in an opening five only about 43% of the time (Inferred)
• No recorded boards, so ceiling and median are inferred from text only
• Several Extra-Deck monsters need Level 6/12 materials or Xyz bases the main deck supplies only partly
• Exact archetype purity is 17.9%; 32 off-archetype copies split engine coherence
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Level 6 DARK Dragon supply (Saronir x3, Druiswurm, Magnamhut = 5 cards) gates Lubellion, Lars and Ptolemy
• LIGHT/DARK monsters in the GY gate Collapserpent, Wyverburster and Levianeer summons

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 30 and Extra 9 are within Duel Links limits (20-30 / 0-9); Semi-Limited Druiswurm and Magnamhut run 1 copy each, within the 2-copy limit; Card stats and text as listed in the evidence; 9 Extra cards present; Exact-name archetype purity 7 of 39 cards (17.9%)
• Inferred: Saronir first-turn access about 43% (hypergeometric); Hand-trap interaction about 0.86 going first and 0.91 going second; Text-only ceiling via Lubellion and Levianeer chains; Interruption recovery through GY banish summons
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta); Post-side plan (no Side Deck)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics core presence ignores the Extra Deck: 8 Extra-Deck core cards are flagged missing but are present in the list (corrected here to 25 of 25) Duel Links side deck is empty, so no post-side performance can be assessed
