Charmer Deck #766996 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz/Link board pressure from K9-X Werewolf, Number C104 and Infinitrack River Stormer, reached through Charmer and K9 searches; Hand-trap-supported grind: Mulcharmy draw engine and Spellbook card advantage
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Charmer or Spellbook starter, reach a Level 5 Xyz or Link, and protect the board with hand traps and negations
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird) to break the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through searchers
• Recovery: Recycle Mulcharmy and Charmer monsters from GY, and use Spellbook and K9 searchers to refill hand
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its searcher density (22 searcher-text cards, about 91% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand) gives it a reliable path to a Level 5 starter, which earns the consistency score. Nine hand traps and about 15 negation-text cards give it layered interaction on both turns, but the copy-limit violations mean the list cannot be played as built. Combo conversion and median output are not measured because the export contains no parseable boards, so those scores are text-only and Inferred. The side deck is empty, so adaptability is scored at its floor. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and the illegal copy limits cap the final score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: raw = 0.80*52 + 0.20*42 - 6 modifiers = ~44; Illegal cap applied (2 copy-limit violations), so the final score is capped at 30 as a theoretical, structural-only read

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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 gives high access to a starter
• Nine hand traps with about 15 negations give layered interaction
• Two engine families (Charmer and K9) add redundancy

Weaknesses

• Two cards are over the OCG copy limit, so the list is illegal as built
• Empty side deck gives no post-side plan
• Low exact archetype purity (12.2%) and 27 generic cards dilute the engine

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom and K9-17 Izuna copy-limit violations must be fixed before the list is playable
• Charmer and K9 Xyz/Link summons depend on a Level 5 starter being drawn

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and K9-17 Izuna each run 3 copies against a limit of 2; Main Deck 59 and Extra Deck 15 are within OCG size rules; Side deck is empty; Usage stats show 3 of 6 core cards present in this deck
• Inferred: Searcher density gives about 91% chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5-card hand; Hand-trap density gives about 65% chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand; Interaction breadth and redundancy scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit and matchup coverage (no tournament link or meta-share)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates No Side Deck registered Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
