Other Deck #766561 — Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Links

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Combo
• Format: duel-links

Legality

Main 20 / Extra 0 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Card-advantage grind: Dark World discard recursion (Snoww, Broww, Gates of Dark World) plus repeated draws; no reliable single-turn kill.; Jackpot 7 x3 banished by opponent effects (rarely reachable without opponent cooperation).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Snoww or a draw spell (Dark World Dealings, Allure of Darkness, Pot of Duality), discard to the GY to enable Dealings/Snoww/Broww recursion, then extend card advantage with Gates.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold a six-card hand with at least one Snoww/Dealings line; there is no hand trap or negation, so the plan relies on card advantage outlasting the opponent.
• Recovery: Recurse discarded Dark World monsters from the GY via Snoww's effect and redraw with Broww, Spellbook of Knowledge and Gates.
• After siding: No Side Deck is run (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck opens a live Dark World engine reliably enough: Snoww (3 copies) has about a 60% chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand, and the recursion and draw package (Dark World Dealings, Allure of Darkness, Broww, Gates of Dark World, Spellbook of Knowledge, Into the Void, Pot of Duality) gives it real card-advantage density. It converts that into pressure poorly: its attackers are low-ATK (Broww 1400, Snoww 1700, Scout 650), and the Jackpot 7 win needs opponent-caused banishes. Interaction is almost absent, with no hand traps, floodgates or negation, and going second is weak for the same reason. Dead cards are a structural problem: Anchamoufrite cannot be summoned with no Extra Deck, and Hiro's Shadow Scout gives the opponent three cards when flipped. The score comes from consistency and card-advantage density on the system; it is not an average of individual card scores, and the popularity of the Dark World archetype was not credited.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 34, Going First ≈ 36, Going Second ≈ 30, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Engine conflicts (-2); Dead or unrecoverable cards (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural 34.1, TR 35, modifiers -4 => 34.3 - 4 = 30.3)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.6 · 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 draw and search package (Dark World Dealings, Allure of Darkness, Broww, Gates of Dark World, Spellbook of Knowledge, Into the Void, Pot of Duality)
• Snoww at 3 copies gives a reasonably reliable first starter in the opening hand (~60%)
• Legal list: 20 Main, no banned cards, Allure of Darkness at its 1-copy Limited cap

Weaknesses

• No hand traps, floodgates or negation, so no answer to a going-second board
• Anchamoufrite is dead with an empty Extra Deck
• Low ATK attackers and no reliable closing route; Jackpot 7's win needs opponent-caused banishes
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• Snoww (3 copies) is the main starter; a hand without it or a discard outlet stalls the engine
• Dark World Dealings and Snoww both need discard fodder in hand to start the recursion

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 20 Main, Allure of Darkness at 1 Limited copy, no violations; Card text for all 13 distinct cards read from description_excerpt; Hand-level probabilities from the hypergeometric table (Snoww 0.6009 at 3 copies); Archetype stats present; all 13 listed cards at 100% inclusion
• Inferred: Engine consistency and brick-rate estimates from text and composition; Going-first and going-second plans built from card text; Dimension scores D1-D11, D14
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (D13), no dated metagame or tournament link; Side deck adaptability (D12), no Side Deck
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate or matchup telemetry in YGOVN; going-first/second and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional; no dated metagame sample supplied Usage statistics show all 13 listed cards at 100% inclusion; that reflects this deck's own rows, not an archetype-wide sample, so it adds no population signal Guides attached (Therion, P.U.N.K) are not about this deck's Dark World/Spellbook list, so they are not counted as attached guidance resolved_by value for this deck is not recorded in the evidence
