Shaddoll Deck #768402 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 12 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon El Shaddoll boss monsters (Shekhinaga, Meshahrail, Apkallone, Winda) from the Extra Deck, supported by Shaddoll Fusion and Lev Shaddoll Fusion; Fusion Summon Granguignol the Dusk Dragon and Reeshaddoll Wendikurhu, with Shaddoll Dragon and Tohushaddoll Grysta as extra boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Shaddoll starter, Fusion Summon an El Shaddoll boss, and use Shaddoll Squamata, Shaddoll Dragon or Naelshaddoll Ariel to clear the opponent's board on the first turn. Unresolved: no combo recordings exist to confirm the exact line
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 9 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched and similar) to break the first opposing starter, then Fusion Summon a boss from the Extra Deck
• Recovery: Recover through the GY: Shaddoll Hedgehog, Shaddoll Construct, Resh Shaddoll Incarnation and Naelshaddoll Ariel can recover Shaddoll monsters from the GY, and Lev Shaddoll Fusion and Lev/Shaddoll Fusion recursion (from card text) can return Fusion material
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs an empty Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The score is built from the deck as one system: a 13-copy Shaddoll core gives a 73% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the Fusion engine has credible boss ceilings (El Shaddoll Shekhinaga and Meshahrail). Interaction is the strongest area, with 9 hand traps, board-wide removal and flip-effect destruction, which lifts going-second play. The deck is held down by its off-archetype density (only 38.6% exact-name Shaddoll copies, 43 off-archetype copies), its 27% estimated brick rate, the lack of any recorded boards, and an empty Side Deck. Popularity and archetype usage were not used to add points, and card scores were not averaged. The Illegal status is the decisive factor: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a limit of 2, so the score is capped and this evaluation is theoretical and structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary, 0.8 weight; the Combo profile is the closest fit for a Fusion-based engine with hand-trap support. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*56.3 + 0.20*45 = 54.0; modifiers -12 gives 42.0; the Illegal status caps the final score at 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.73 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.27 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong Fusion boss pool (Shekhinaga, Meshahrail, Apkallone, Winda) with a 73% core-group opening rate
• Broad, layered interaction: 9 hand traps plus Squamata, Dragon, Ariel and Karma Cannon
• Multiple recursion routes through the GY

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Low archetype purity (38.6%); the splash across Mulcharmy, Void, Dracotail and Cyclone dilutes the engine
• Empty Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptability
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• The first Fusion Summon depends on Shaddoll Fusion or Lev Shaddoll Fusion being drawn, with a 24% chance per copy in a 5-card opening hand
• The illegal Ash Blossom count removes a hand trap that the going-second plan relies on

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 58, Extra 12, Side 0: size is legal for OCG (40-60 / 0-15 / 0-15); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies, Semi-Limited limit of 2: over limit (Illegal); Droll & Lock Bird: 1 copy, Limited (legal); Exact-name archetype purity 38.6%; 43 off-archetype copies; Card attributes, ATK/DEF and text excerpts match the evidence; Extra Deck: 11 Fusion, 1 Link
• Inferred: Core group opening probability 0.73 and brick proxy 0.27; Structural scores for D1 through D14; Hand-trap interaction density and going-second value; Fusion boss closing read from text and ATK values
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) is unknown: no tournament or meta 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 One passcode (20366274) in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card; counted as Main No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Empty Side Deck: no post-side evidence Deck title is null: identity relies on the archetype and card list
