Swordsoul Deck #767586 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira beatsticks (Fenrir, Unicorn, Ogre) and Kashtira Shangri-Ira / Xyz boss pressure, as listed; Synchro and Link bosses from the Extra Deck (Sangenpai, Swordsoul Chengying, Dracossack)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Kashtira searcher or Special Summon, search a Kashtira monster and build toward Shangri-Ira; plausible but the Forbidden and over-limit cards mean the list cannot be played as built
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence and Droll & Lock Bird as hand traps to break the opponent's first turn, then convert into Kashtira bosses
• Recovery: Recur Kashtira monsters from GY and banish via Kashtiratheosis, Kashtira Birth and Kashtira Preparations; recovery is text-supported only (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The score comes from the system, not from averaging card scores: the deck has a Kashtira engine with about 20 Kashtira copies, a searcher package (20 searcher-text cards, P(at least one in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.90), and a hand-trap and negation layer (10 hand traps, 9 negation-text cards, P(at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand) ≈ 0.71 going second). Its Extra Deck of 9 Xyz, 3 Synchro and 3 Link monsters gives several boss routes, but the single-copy starter probability is only about 0.25 for each 3-copy card, so starter access is modest. Popularity and archetype usage were not credited as power. Consistency is capped by the copy limits, and the score is further held down because the list is illegal: Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden and the list runs Kashtira Unicorn and Ash Blossom above their limits. No combos were supplied, so floor and ceiling rest on text reads only, and no side deck was supplied.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts / incoherent extra deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 50.4, then modifiers (-12) = 38.4; Illegal legality cap applied to 30 (theoretical/structural-only, not a normal Final score)

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 and negation layer (10 hand traps, 9 negation-text cards)
• Multiple searcher routes (20 searcher-text cards)
• Extra Deck offers Xyz, Synchro and Link bosses

Weaknesses

• Deck is illegal: Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir and copy-limit violations
• Single-copy starter access is low (about 0.25 per 3-copy card in a 5-card hand)
• Archetype purity is low; the list spans several sub-archetypes
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden and cannot be run as built
• Starter access depends on one of three copies of each core card in the opening hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Kashtira Fenrir Forbidden (3 copies), Kashtira Unicorn over Limited (3 vs 1), Ash Blossom over Semi-Limited (3 vs 2); Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules; Composition: 20 Kashtira copies, 1 exact Swordsoul copy, 14 distinct Extra Deck cards
• Inferred: Starter and hand-trap probabilities from hypergeometric estimates; Engine coherence and brick risk from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates from hand-trap density
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample supplied); Format fit (D13)
• 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; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null and the archetype label (Swordsoul) does not match the Kashtira-led list
