Identity & game plan
- Win condition: No reliable win condition: Black Luster Soldier - Envoy of the Beginning (1 copy) is the only real threat, and it needs a LIGHT and a DARK monster in the GY.; Attackers Zombyra the Dark, Asura Priest and Ninja Grandmaster Sasuke (1 copy each), supported by Command Knight and Marauding Captain.
- Turn 1 (going first): Open on generic staples (Book of Moon, Dust Tornado, Nobleman of Crossout, Mystical Space Typhoon) and hope the Warrior and Normal Summon chain produces a board.
- Turn 2 (going second): Respond with Solemn Judgment, Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder and Torrential Tribute, then convert with a single boss monster.
- Recovery: Recover through Premature Burial, Call of the Haunted and the Warrior searchers (The Warrior Returning Alive, Reinforcement of the Army).
- After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan.
Why it scores here
The deck is a generic staples-and-interaction list with almost no archetype engine: only 1 of 55 cards carries the exact Black Luster Soldier name, and none of the 8 usage-stat core cards are present. Its strength is the interaction suite (Solemn Judgment, Mirror Force, Heavy Storm, Dust Tornado, Magic Cylinder, Torrential Tribute), which earns credit on the system's end-board interaction, not on any single card's power. The list is Illegal in OCG: four Forbidden cards and two Limited cards exceed their copy limits, so it cannot receive a normal Final score and is capped low as a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points, no combo evidence exists, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 35 | P(at least one 3-copy card in a 5-card opening) ≈ 0.25; no reliable starter for Envoy beyond its GY LIGHT+DARK requirement (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 30 | 38 distinct cards with many situational spells and traps (Smashing Ground, Dust Tornado, Widespread Ruin); high brick risk (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 25 | No recorded boards and no parseable combos; ceiling read from text only (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 25 | No recorded boards; median output cannot be measured and is scored low (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 40 | Several interruption-recovery paths via searchers and Call of the Haunted, but no independent second line is evidenced (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 35 | Recursion limited to Premature Burial, Call of the Haunted and Warrior searchers; no resource engine (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 58 | Interaction density is high (31 removal-text and 7 negation-text cards), but the Forbidden and over-limit copies are the reason it scores this high (Verified/Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 48 | Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute, Widespread Ruin and Asura Priest give some going-second board breaking (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 30 | Closing power rests on single-copy Envoy (3000 ATK) and a few 1600–2100 ATK attackers; no reliable lethal route (Inferred) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 40 | 55 Main Deck cards are legal in size, but 38 distinct cards and 1.8% exact-archetype purity show weak coherence (Verified/Inferred) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 40 | No Extra Deck cards; legal in OCG but adds no coverage (Verified) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | No Side Deck registered, so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed and is scored low (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 30 | No tournament link or dated meta sample; matchup fit is Provisional and scored low |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 60 | Few decision points and no combo steps to execute; repeatable, but the plan is generic (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 37, Going First ≈ 33, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 25. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(37) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(25) = 34.6; minus 12 banlist-exposure modifier = 22.6, rounded to 23; Illegal deck, so theoretical/structural-only and Meta provisional
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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
- Dense interaction suite: Solemn Judgment, Mirror Force, Heavy Storm, Dust Tornado, Magic Cylinder, Torrential Tribute, Widespread Ruin
- Several searchers and recursion routes (Magician of Faith, The Warrior Returning Alive, Call of the Haunted, Premature Burial)
Weaknesses
- Illegal in OCG: four Forbidden and two over-limit Limited cards
- Almost no archetype engine: 1.8% exact-archetype purity and 0 of 8 usage-stat core cards
- No Side Deck and no Extra Deck, so no post-side or Extra-based coverage
- High brick and dead-card risk from situational spells and traps
Critical choke points
- Envoy's summon requires one LIGHT and one DARK monster in the GY, which is unlikely early
- Most of the win condition rides on a single 1-copy boss
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trap Dustshoot x2, Delinquent Duo, Pot of Greed, Graceful Charity | Legal Warrior or Black Luster Soldier staples, or a legal copy-limit build | These cards are Forbidden in OCG, so the list cannot be played legally as built |
| 2 | Solemn Judgment x2, Reinforcement of the Army x1 | Single copies of the core engine pieces or the archetype's usage-stat core cards | Brings Limited cards within their copy limit and restores archetype coherence |
| 3 | Smashing Ground, Widespread Ruin (situational) | Starters or Side Deck cards | Cuts dead-card risk and adds the Side Deck the list currently lacks |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality: 6 over-limit or Forbidden violations; 55 Main, 0 Extra, 0 Side; Card text and banlist status for every listed card; Usage-stat core: 0 of 8 cards present
- Inferred: Opening-hand odds and brick risk from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from text scaffold; Going-first and going-second plan quality
- Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
- 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 and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck registered
