Charmer Deck #767554 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Garunix Eternity, Sacred/High Avatar Garunix, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Tri-Brigade link boards) reached through Fire King and Tri-Brigade engine access, with Mulcharmy card advantage; Link-summon chains from the 12 Link monsters in the Extra Deck converting Tri-Brigade and Fire King monsters into board presence
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Fire King, Tri-Brigade or Mulcharmy starter, use Tri-Brigade Kitt/Kerass style Special Summons into a Link Summon, and protect the first board with Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Droll & Lock Bird as hand traps
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Droll, Evenly Matched, Ponix/Ulcanix) to break the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through Fire King Sanctuary/Island and the Mulcharmy draw engine
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos/Purulia draw on empty-field conditions and Tri-Brigade GY banish-to-Link recursion refill the hand after a board wipe
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; any real side plan would need Solemn and Ash to be legally copy-limited first

Why it scores here

The list is a multi-engine midrange pile rather than a Charmer deck: only one copy of the exact Charmer name is present (1.4% purity), and the real engines are Fire King (17 cards), Tri-Brigade (15), and Mulcharmy (6), held together by 10 hand traps and a Solemn-based interaction suite. The archetype-core group gives roughly a 60% chance of at least one core card in the opening five (hypergeometric, Inferred), which is adequate but not reliable, and the 14 one-of cards plus 14 three-of cards create brick and redundancy questions. Interaction density is the strongest part of the system (10 hand traps, 37 removal-text cards), which lifts end-board and going-second scores. The deck cannot earn a normal Final Contextual score because three Semi-Limited cards are run three times each, so the score is capped at 35 and labelled theoretical/structural-only. Popularity of the component archetypes and the usage statistics confirm the list is real, but they did not add points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 57, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (-8); Banlist exposure (-2); Engine conflict (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*55 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 41, then capped at 35 because the deck is Illegal (copy-limit violations). Theoretical/structural-only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.6 · 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

• Interaction density: 10 hand traps and 37 removal-text cards give layered answers to the opponent's first combo
• Extra Deck coverage: 12 Link monsters plus Xyz/Fusion/Synchro give several boss routes
• Card advantage from Mulcharmy draw and Tri-Brigade recursion

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Semi-Limited cards at 3 copies each exceed the legal 2
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• Weak exact-archetype identity: Charmer is named but almost absent from the list
• 56 Main Deck cards with 14 one-of slots and off-engine spells reduce consistency

Critical choke points

• Fire King and Tri-Brigade starters depend on a small number of 1-of enablers
• Losing Ash Blossom or Solemn Warning to a copy-limit correction would remove two key answers at once

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom, The Fallen & The Virtuous and Solemn Warning each at 3 copies vs legal 2; Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 counts and copy histogram; Extra Deck composition: 12 Link, 1 Xyz, 1 Fusion, 1 Synchro; Archetype spread and 1.4% exact-name purity
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability 0.60 for archetype-core group; Hand-trap probability 0.71 in a 6-card going-second hand; Interaction density and removal reading from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link or matchup data)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null and the archetype label Charmer does not match the card pool
