Dark World Deck #767919 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 13 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Special Summon Sacred Beast Level 10 monsters (Raviel 4000 ATK, Hamon 4000 ATK, Chaotic Phantasmal 5000 ATK) and Dark World boss monsters (Reign-Beaux 3000 ATK, Grapha Overlord 3200 ATK) to outclass the opponent's board.; Dark World recursion from the Graveyard (Reign-Beaux, Grapha, Snoww, Genta) to rebuild pressure after disruption.
• Turn 1 (going first): Main Phase Genta discards to add The Gates of Dark World, then Dark World Accession or Dark Corridor searches a Dark World monster to build a second engine; Martyr or Thunderclap starts the Sacred Beasts line toward Raviel or Hamon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Infinite Impermanence and Combined Assault to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild through Dark World discard-to-GY Special Summons (Snoww, Reign-Beaux, Grapha) and Sacred Beast Level 10 Extra Deck summons.
• Recovery: Recycle Sacred Beasts Released from the GY, Dark World Accession from the GY, and Fiend monsters from the GY to restore hand and field after a board wipe.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. The deck can only adjust by swapping Main Deck cards, which is a structural weakness.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. It runs two engines in one 43-card Main Deck: a Dark World line (Genta, Snoww, Reign-Beaux, Gates of Dark World, Grapha, Dark World Accession) and a Sacred Beasts line (Martyr, Thunderclap, Sacred Beasts Released, Hamon, Raviel, Uria). Searchers are plentiful, so the deck usually reaches a live starter, and the two engines give it independent routes if one is stopped, which lifts resilience and resource recovery. Closing power is the strongest area because the Extra Deck holds several 3000 to 5000 ATK bosses. The score is held back by the lack of a side deck, the lack of any recorded boards to measure a median or ceiling, and the cost of running two engines that each need their own starters. Popularity did not earn points: archetype usage stats show this list is only 32.1% exact-name Dark World and misses 6 of its 19 core cards (for example Muckraker and Underworld Goddess), so it is a non-standard build and was not credited for being a common archetype.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: engine conflict (-2); no side deck (-2); banlist exposure (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*57.9 + 0.20*52 - 4 = 52.7, rounded to 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · 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

• Searchers and recursion (Genta, Gates of Dark World, Dark World Accession, Reign-Beaux, Grapha) keep the hand and Graveyard productive.
• Two engines give route redundancy if one line is stopped.
• The Extra Deck has high-ATK closers (Raviel, Hamon, Chaotic Phantasmal, Grapha Overlord).

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so the deck cannot adapt between games.
• Only 32.1% exact-name Dark World purity and 6 of 19 core cards present; the build deviates from the archetype standard.
• Two engines dilute starter density, and each engine's 3-copy starters have only about a 0.32 chance of appearing in an opening hand of 5.

Critical choke points

• Sacred Beast Level 10 Extra Deck summons depend on Martyr, Thunderclap or Released being live in hand or the Graveyard.
• Dark World Graveyard recursion depends on Dark World monsters being discarded to the Graveyard by a card effect.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 43 and Extra 13 are within the OCG size rules (main 40 to 60, extra 0 to 15).; Card Destruction and S:P Little Knight are Limited and run at 1 legal copy each.; Side Deck count is 0.; Muckraker From the Underworld and Underworld Goddess are core archetype cards that are absent.
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter odds (0.316 per 3-copy card, 0.791 for the core group).; Two-engine split and its effect on consistency.; Interaction density and recursion from card text.
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample).; Median and floor output (no recorded boards).
• 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 are absent. No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates). Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
