Lightsworn Deck #768549 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Fusion/Link/Xyz boss summons from a Lightsworn and Fiendsmith engine (Fiendsmith's Rextremende, Minerva, Judgment Dragon, Punishment Dragon) once the field is stabilised; Fiendsmith Lacrima and Fiendsmith's Desirae negation and ATK pressure once a Fiendsmith monster is live
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a LIGHT Fiend or Lightsworn monster (Charge of the Light Brigade, Lightsworn Dragonling, Fiendsmith Engraver), then convert it into a Fiendsmith Fusion or Lightsworn Synchro/Xyz boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first starter, then rebuild through Dragonling, Weiss and Wulf from the GY
• Recovery: Recover Lightsworn and Fiendsmith monsters from the GY through Lacrima, Dragonling and Lumina, then rebuild boss summons from Extra Deck materials
• After siding: Not assessable: the Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a connected system on the Lightsworn/Fiendsmith engine, not as an average of its card scores. Its main consistency driver is 19 searcher-text cards and roughly 86% chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5, while the core engine (7 archetype copies) is live in about 47% of openings. Interaction is real but thin: 6 hand traps and 10 negation-text cards give good breadth, but the 14 triple-copy and 14 single-copy slots leave a high brick risk. The Side Deck is empty, so the deck has no post-side plan and receives a low adaptability score. The deck is illegal as submitted (Ash Blossom at 3 copies, Fiendsmith Engraver and Fiendsmith's Tract at 3 copies), so the Final score is capped at 25 and labelled structural-only; popularity and meta share were not credited, and no combo or win-rate evidence exists to raise the ceiling.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with no secondary blend; Toolbox noted as descriptive. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*48 + 0.20*40 ≈ 46.4; context modifiers -6 gives ≈ 40; then the Illegal cap sets Final = 25 (structural-only, theoretical)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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

• Broad searcher density (19 searcher-text cards) gives a high chance of finding a starter
• Two hand-trap routes (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence) plus negation text cover early disruption
• Extra Deck offers multiple boss threats at 3000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: three cards exceed their banlist copy limits
• Empty Side Deck gives no post-side adaptability
• Large brick share from 28 singleton and triple-copy slots and no combo evidence to verify conversion

Critical choke points

• Fiendsmith Engraver is the key searcher and extender; it is Limited to 1 copy, so the 3-copy build cannot be played as submitted
• Fiendsmith's Tract is the Fiendsmith Fusion enabler and is Limited to 1 copy
• Lightsworn engine depends on Dragonling and Lumina recursion in the GY

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is 60 Main and 15 Extra, within size rules; Ash Blossom, Fiendsmith Engraver and Fiendsmith's Tract exceed legal copies; Seven cards carry Limited or Semi-Limited status in the export
• Inferred: Hypergeometric searcher and core-engine odds; Hand-trap odds and interaction breadth; Brick risk from the copy histogram
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN Side Deck is empty, so no post-side evaluation Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
