Dark World Deck #767236 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Reign-Beaux Overking / Grapha Dragon Overlord / Clorless Chaos King from Dark World engine plays, backed by Fusion, Link and Xyz boss monsters; Danger! Nessie/Chupacabra/Bigfoot beatdown and Number-series Xyz pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Dark World Accession or Dark Corridor / Genta search into Dark World Fiend engine, Snoww or Tour Guide negate to extend, then Reign-Beaux or Grapha Fusion/Link for board (Inferred from text only)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-revealed Danger! starters and GY recursion (Grapha, Reign-Beaux, Snoww, Sillva) to rebuild through interaction; Reign-Beaux Overlord destroy-board effect when discarded (Inferred)
• Recovery: Multiple Dark World monsters recur from the GY, and Dark World Archives and The Gates of Dark World provide draw and grind (Inferred)
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck was scored as a connected system, not as an average of its card scores. Its Dark World engine has a high chance of a live starter (about 0.95 for at least one searcher-text card and about 0.92 for at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred), and the Fiend-recursion web gives it real resilience after a single interruption. Its ceiling comes from Reign-Beaux and Grapha Fusion/Link boards and its interaction from negate and destroy text, but there are no recorded boards, so the median output is only estimated. Popularity was not credited: usage stats show this list is a real, accessible build, and that is the extent of that credit. The deck is Illegal (Super Polymerization 3 copies vs 2 allowed, Allure of Darkness 2 vs 1), so the structural estimate of about 63 is capped to 35 and labelled theoretical only. The deck also has no Side Deck and no tournament or win-rate data.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); weak or absent post-side plan (-4); Illegal list cap (-16). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(63) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) = 61.4; context modifiers total -10 give 51.4; the deck is Illegal, so the final score is capped to 35 and labelled theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• High probability of a live Dark World starter in the opening hand (Inferred)
• Several Fiend monsters recur from the GY, giving resilience after one interruption (Inferred)
• Strong Fusion/Link/Xyz boss monsters with ATK 2700-3200 (Verified stats)
• Negate and destroy effects with no hand traps needed (Inferred from text)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Super Polymerization is over the copy limit by 1 and Allure of Darkness by 1 (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability (Verified)
• Low archetype purity: 45.6% of main-deck monsters and spells share the exact archetype name (Verified)
• No recorded boards, combos or tournament data, so the output estimate is unverified (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Dark World Fiend engine depends on Reign-Beaux and Grapha, each with only 1 to 3 copies (Inferred)
• Super Polymerization is the only Fusion route for the Extra Deck Fusion monsters, so the illegal extra copy is the main line (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 sizes are legal for OCG; Super Polymerization runs 3 copies vs legal 2; Allure of Darkness runs 2 vs legal 1; Card stats and text from the export; Usage stats show 26 archetype rows and 7 of 19 core cards present
• Inferred: At least one starter in 5 cards is about 0.95 and archetype-core about 0.92 (hypergeometric); Fiend recursion gives resilience; negate and destroy text gives interaction; Going-first and going-second estimates from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13 provisional at 50)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or OTK rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Side Deck is empty, so D12 is scored from absence only
