Charmer Deck #767712 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Multi-archetype board of Volcanic, Mulcharmy, Snake-Eye and Diabellstar payoffs (Volcanic Emperor, Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon, Nibiru) closing through large ATK bodies and Link monsters; Hand-trap and negate-based disruption that stalls the opponent while the Extra Deck Link and Fusion monsters take over
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon a Volcanic or Snake-Eye starter with Volcanic Trooper, Snake-Eye Ash or Volcanic Shell, then extend through Blaze Accelerator and Volcanic Blaze Accelerator into a Link or Fusion boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Open on hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Nibiru) to blank the opponent's first summon, then rebuild with searchers and Mulcharmy draw effects
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on opponent summons, Volcanic Shell and Snake-Eye Ash recur from the GY, and Harpie's Feather Duster or Lightning Storm reset the board
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is a Toolbox-style pile rather than a coherent Charmer engine: only 1 of 55 main cards carries the exact Charmer name, and 69 copies belong to other archetypes, so the engine has to be rebuilt from several sub-archetypes. Its reliable strengths are interaction density (8 hand traps, 10 negate-text cards, 18 removal-text cards) and a set of searchers and draw effects that keep it supplied, which earns the points for interruption resilience and going-second board-breaking. Starter access is only moderate: the 8-copy archetype core has about a 56 percent chance of at least one card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and 20 of 35 distinct main cards are singletons, so brick risk is real. There are no recorded boards, no tournament link and no side deck, so the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and the post-side and matchup dimensions stay provisional. Popularity and usage statistics confirm the list is accessible but did not add points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score. Two Forbidden cards (Triple Tactics Talent, Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye) make the list illegal, so the score is capped low and labelled structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary; Stun not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-7); engine_conflicts (-3); weak_post_side_plan (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: 0.80*50 + 0.20*45 = 49, minus modifiers of 12 gives 37; the Illegal legality cap then sets the final score to 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.56 · 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: 8 hand traps, 10 negate effects and 18 removal effects
• Strong going-second hand-trap coverage
• Searcher and draw density supports recovery
• Several 2500 to 3100 ATK bosses across Fire and Link monsters

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Triple Tactics Talent and Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye are Forbidden
• Multi-archetype build with only one exact Charmer card
• Many singletons raise brick risk
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• Hand-trap timing: most interaction is one-of or two-of and conditional
• Engine starters split across Volcanic, Snake-Eye and Mulcharmy lines
• Link and Fusion summons depend on a small set of material pieces

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status from two Forbidden cards; Main, Extra and Side counts within size rules; Copy-limit compliance for all Limited and Semi-Limited cards; Archetype spread and exact-name purity
• Observed: Usage statistics show 5 of 6 core cards present (83.3 percent)
• Inferred: Starter and hand-trap probabilities; Interaction and resilience reads from card text; Going-first and going-second balance; Dimension scores D1 to D11 and D14
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13); Meta Power; Tournament reliability inputs
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck, so post-side adaptability is unmeasured No guides attached to the archetype
