Lightsworn Deck #767369 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 31/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Lightsworn engine recursion into Judgment Dragon, Punishment Dragon, Minerva and Enlightenment Dragon (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards); Synchro, Xyz and Link extra-deck boards built from Lightsworn and generic monsters (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Lightsworn monster (Wulf, Dragonling, Felis, Weiss, Raiden or Lumina) and loop the GY and deck recursion; the core group is live in only about 65 percent of 5-card hands (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with a hand trap (Droll and Lock Bird, Evenly Matched, Nibiru) or Lightning Storm to answer the opposing board, then rebuild through the same Lightsworn recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Lightsworn GY recursion (Wulf, Dragonling, Felis, Weiss) plus Charge of the Light Brigade and Solar Recharge to refill the hand (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The list is illegal as built: it runs 3 Super Polymerization against an OCG limit of 2, so it receives no normal Final Contextual score and this result is theoretical and structural only. The Lightsworn core is live in about 65 percent of opening hands (archetype core group, hypergeometric, Inferred), but any single starter is only about 25 percent, so consistency is moderate. Recursion through the GY and a lot of interaction (Lightning Storm, Evenly Matched, Forbidden Droplet, hand traps) give some resilience, but only 35.7 percent of the main deck is exact-name Lightsworn and 22 cards are generic, which dilutes the engine. There are no recorded boards and no side deck, so combo ceiling and median output and the post-side plan rest on text alone. Popularity and usage stats are not credited, and card scores were not averaged; the 31 comes from system-level dimensions with a legality penalty.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 44, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 43.2, then -12 illegal-list modifier = 31; theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Archetype core group is live in about 65 percent of 5-card hands (Inferred)
• Recursion through the GY gives repeated restarts (Inferred from text)
• Layered interaction with three or more hand traps and board-wide removal (Inferred from text)
• Extra deck covers fusion, synchro, xyz and link access (Observed)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count of Super Polymerization (Observed)
• Only 35.7 percent exact-name purity; 22 generic and 16 tech cards dilute the engine (Observed)
• Empty side deck; no post-side plan (Observed)
• No recorded combos; the combo ceiling is unverified (Observed)

Critical choke points

• A single Lightsworn monster in hand is needed for most lines; about 35 percent of hands have no core card (Inferred)
• Recursion depends on Lightsworn monsters reaching the GY, which is interruptible by the opponent (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Super Polymerization run 3 copies, OCG Semi-Limited limit 2; Main deck 55 cards and Extra deck 15 cards within size rules; Side deck is empty
• Observed: Exact-name purity 35.7 percent; No recorded boards or combos
• Inferred: Core group live in about 65 percent of 5-card hands; Starter density and interaction read from card text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated meta sample or tournament link
• 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 side deck; post-side evaluation impossible no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
