Blackwings Deck #767185 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blackwing and Raidraptor Xyz/Synchro pressure (Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon, Black-Winged Assault Dragon, Blackwing - Boreastorm) backed by hand traps; Kashtira Fenrir and Magnet/Conduction Warrior Fusion line, which is not legal in this list
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Blackwing or Ghost hand-trap starter, Normal Summon a Blackwing monster for its search, then move to a Synchro or Xyz that uses Raidraptor or Blackwing materials
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle and Infinite Impermanence to break the opponent's starter, then summon a Synchro or Xyz with Droll & Lock Bird as a lock-stopper
• Recovery: Blackwing and Raidraptor monsters recur from the GY (Zephyros, Sharnga, Shamal, Raidraptor Xyz effects), so the engine can rebuild after an interruption
• After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck is registered

Why it scores here

The deck's Midrange structure is scored on the system, not by averaging card scores. Its Blackwing and Raidraptor engine gives about a 70% chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate), with several Blackwing monsters that Special Summon from hand and recur from the GY. Its hand-trap suite (13 hand traps, mostly Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, and Infinite Impermanence) gives reasonable interaction density going second. The structure is held back by 73 off-archetype copies, no combo data to measure ceiling or median, and no side deck. Popularity (53 to 66% inclusion for several core cards) confirms the list is real but does not earn points by itself. The list is Illegal in OCG (3 Kashtira Fenrir, a Forbidden card, and 3 Ash Blossom against a limit of 2), so the score is capped and labelled theoretical.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun is a secondary read used only as context, not blended. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 35, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12); no_side_deck (0); illegal_cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: 0.80*Structural(47) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 46; modifiers -12 give 34; Illegal legality caps the displayed score at 25 (theoretical, structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.7 · 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

• Layered hand-trap suite (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird) gives interaction on both turns
• Blackwing monsters Special Summon from hand and recur from the GY, supporting resilience
• Raidraptor and Blackwing Xyz/Synchro routes give high closing ATK (Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon 3500)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Kashtira Fenrir (Forbidden) x3 and Ash Blossom x3 (limit 2)
• 73 off-archetype copies across Kashtira, Magnet, Mulcharmy, Forbidden, Knightmare and D/D reduce coherence
• No side deck, no combo data, and no tournament data
• Many single-copy tech slots (17 distinct main cards at 1 copy) raise brick risk

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom and the Ghost hand traps are the only early interaction; losing them to a hand-trap-heavy opponent leaves few answers
• Raidraptor and Blackwing Xyz/Synchro routes depend on a Level 4 or Level 7 monster being in hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 58, Extra 15, Side 0 (legality export); Kashtira Fenrir x3 is Forbidden in OCG; Ash Blossom x3 exceeds the Semi-Limited limit of 2; Card stats and text for all 46 distinct cards; Archetype core group: 12 copies, P(at least one in hand of 5) = 0.7008
• Observed: Inclusion rates from usage statistics: Silverwind 65.6%, Sudri 59.4%, Vata 59.4%, Harmattan 56.3%, Ash 53.1%
• Inferred: Consistency and brick estimates from hypergeometric draws and text role hints; Going-first and going-second splits from card text; Closing power from ATK values and text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null: no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• 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, going-second, matchups, starter or brick rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered, so post-side plan is not evaluable
