Knightmare Deck #767237 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dark World Fiend boards (Reign-Beaux, Grapha, Clorless) and Knightmare/Link pressure, built on a Dark World searcher and GY-recursion engine; Danger! monster swarm draw/recycle and Link/Xyz board presence
• Turn 1 (going first): Dark Corridor or Genta/Snoww search a Dark World monster, then Dark World Accession or Tour Guide to reach a Fusion, Link or Xyz boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand Dark World searchers and Danger! hand-discard draws to find a late-game boss, with GY recursion as the second line
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Sillva, Ceruli, Broww, Snoww and Reign-Beaux, which return Fiend monsters or Dark World cards to the field and hand
• After siding: Not applicable: no side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system, not from its card scores or its archetype's popularity. Eighteen searcher effects and a 0.95 hypergeometric chance of at least one searcher in a five-card opening hand give the engine strong early access (Inferred). Recursion through the graveyard and a high ceiling from Reign-Beaux and Grapha support resilience and closing power, but the deck has no hand traps, no floodgates, and no side deck, which keeps interaction and going-second strength weak. No combo boards were recorded, so floor and median output are text-only estimates (Inferred). The list fails OCG copy limits (three Super Polymerization and two Allure of Darkness), so the score is capped at a theoretical 35 rather than a normal contextual score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 36, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); raw 0.80*54.6 + 0.20*50 = 53.7, then -12 banlist modifier = 41.7, capped at 35 because the deck is Illegal (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

• Searcher density gives early access to the Dark World engine
• Graveyard recursion gives multiple recovery lines
• High closing power from Reign-Beaux and Danger! Bigfoot

Weaknesses

• Illegal under OCG copy limits as built
• No hand traps or floodgates, so weak going-second interaction
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded combos to validate the median output

Critical choke points

• The Dark World engine depends on single-copy Danger! and boss monsters, so losing a key Fiend monster to disruption stalls the line
• Super Polymerization is required for the Fusion lines and is over the copy limit

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Super Polymerization 3 copies (limit 2) and Allure of Darkness 2 copies (limit 1); Main 42 and Extra 15 are within size rules; No side deck registered; Card counts, card text and copy histogram
• Inferred: Searcher access: P(≥1 searcher in 5) ≈ 0.95; Engine and recursion resilience from card text; Interaction and going-second estimates from role tags
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit, pending a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered
