Runick (Mysterune) Deck #767032 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 11 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion-summoned Runick beaters (Geri, Freki, Hugin, Sleipnir) and Runick Quick-Play lines that skip the Battle Phase to bank removal and board control; Super Starslayer TY-PHON via Xyz when the opponent makes 2+ Extra Deck Special Summons; Fountain recursion for repeated Runick Quick-Play activations
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Runick Quick-Play (Freezing Curses, Flashing Fire, Tip, Destruction) to remove or negate the first threat, then Special Summon a Runick Fusion from the Extra Deck via the Quick-Play's second mode
• Turn 2 (going second): Respond on the opponent's turn with Runick Quick-Play spells (Dispelling, Slumber, Flashing Fire) and Freki/Geri Fusion summons to answer their board; Mirage of Nightmare is unusable as listed
• Recovery: Recover Quick-Play spells from the GY with Runick Fountain (Limited, 1 copy legal) and search with Tip, Geri and Pot of Duality (Inferred; Fountain copy limit is the main constraint)
• After siding: None: the deck has no side deck, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the list must be rebuilt before a best-of-3 read is meaningful

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in OCG: it runs 3 copies of Mirage of Nightmare (Forbidden) and 3 copies of Runick Fountain (Limited to 1), so it receives a capped, structural-only score rather than a normal Final. Structurally the Runick core is reasonably reliable: the archetype core group has a 91% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the Runick Quick-Play spells give repeated interaction and Battle Phase skipping. Fusion Monsters from the Extra Deck supply the closing bodies, though no recorded boards exist to confirm the median or ceiling output, so combo scores rest on card text alone. Points were not earned from archetype usage or popularity, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score. The list has no side deck and no hand traps, which lowers going-second and post-side scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Primary Midrange with Control as secondary; Midrange weights applied (secondary not blended in the arithmetic). Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 35, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); no side deck (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(46) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 45; modifiers total -12 gives 33; Illegal-deck cap sets the final score to 20 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Runick archetype core is present at high copy counts (19 cards, 91% at least one in opening 5)
• Multiple Runick Quick-Play spells provide repeated removal, negation and Battle Phase skips
• Ten Fusion Monsters give several distinct Extra Deck closers and answers

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Mirage of Nightmare (Forbidden) and Runick Fountain (3 copies vs 1 legal)
• No side deck, so no post-side plan and no best-of-3 adaptability
• No hand traps and weak answers to going-second boards
• Low closing power: highest ATK Fusion is 2000 and the only high-ATK Xyz is a single copy

Critical choke points

• Fusion Summon access from the Extra Deck is required for most Runick closers
• Runick Fountain recursion is the only recovery engine and is cut to 1 legal copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Mirage of Nightmare is Forbidden and Runick Fountain is Limited (1) in OCG; Main 51 and Extra 11 counts are within size rules; Composition counts (fusion 10, xyz 1, Quick-Play 25, removal text 28)
• Inferred: Archetype core accessibility about 0.91 at 5-card hand; Brick rate about 0.09 for the core group; Interaction and recovery quality from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit, no dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability
• 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 for going-first/second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck supplied, so post-side plan cannot be evaluated
