Mayakashi Deck #767482 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Call of the Haunted engine: Zombie-based Special Summons (Pumpking, Army of the Haunted, Stare of the Snake Hair) into large Xyz/Link boards (Pumpking the Great Ghost King, The Zombie Vampire, Undying Legion).; Horus / Death / Vampire sub-engines (Imsety, Hapi, Officiating Reverie, Vampire Fascinator) providing alternate board presence when Call of the Haunted is blanked.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Call of the Haunted or Pumpking starter with Stare / Hubrow / Ectoplasmic Fortification for search; protect the engine with Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Ghost Ogre. Inferred from text; no recorded boards.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 14 hand traps (Ash, Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Dominus Impulse, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first board, then Special Summon through Zombie World and Call of the Haunted. Inferred.
• Recovery: Recover through GY-resident engines: Doomking Balerdroch (Standby revival), Army of the Haunted, Officiating Reverie, Necroworld Banshee and Pot of Sloth to reload the hand.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan at all.

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its Call of the Haunted engine (21 archetype-core copies, about 92% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand per the hypergeometric proxy) gives it a reasonably accessible start, and its 14 hand traps give it real going-second disruption. Dominus Impulse and Ash Blossom are the strongest interaction in the list, which supports the end-board and resilience scores. Its floor and median output are weak: there are no recorded boards, so the combo floor and ceiling are text-only inference. The deck is Illegal (Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse each at 3 copies against a 2-copy Semi-Limited limit), and the empty side deck gives no post-side plan, so the score is capped to a theoretical, structural-only read. Archetype popularity earned no points, and no meta sample exists, so Meta Power remains provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Combo. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: copy-limit violation (-6); no side deck (-4); no combo or tournament evidence (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 0.80*51 + 0.20*42 - 12 = 37, then capped to 30 because legality status is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional, so no meta term.

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

• Dense hand-trap suite (14 copies) with strong going-second disruption
• Call of the Haunted engine with recursion through the GY
• Layered interaction across Ash, Impermanence, Evenly Matched and Dominus Impulse

Weaknesses

• Illegal: two cards over their OCG Semi-Limited copy limit
• Empty side deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and floor are unverified
• Low Extra Deck coherence: several listed core Xyz and Link cards are missing

Critical choke points

• Call of the Haunted and Pumpking as the only real starters; a single interruption before the Set can end the turn
• Copy-limit violations must be fixed before the list is legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse each at 3 copies against a 2-copy Semi-Limited limit; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Copy histogram and type spread; Core group proxy: 21 copies, about 0.92 at least one in a 5-card hand (proxy estimate)
• Inferred: Starter access and brick estimates from hypergeometric and card text; Combo and interaction ceiling read from card text; Going-first and going-second plans
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied (no parseable boards); combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample side deck is empty
