Identity & game plan

Win condition: Vanquish Soul and K9 Xyz/Link boards pressuring through 2300-3000 ATK monsters after hand-trap interaction; Umbral Horror Masquerade and Super Starslayer TY-PHON as Extra Deck closers
Turn 1 (going first): Open Vanquish Soul searchers (Dr. Mad Love, Razen, Vanquish Soul Start!) and K9 Normal Summons, using Ghost Ogre and Ash to protect the first starter
Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's starter (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru), then rebuild with Stake your Soul! or Mulcharmy draw engine
Recovery: Searchers (Razen, Dr. Mad Love, Vanquish Soul Start!, Reinforcement of the Army, K9-X Forced Release) rebuild the Vanquish Soul board from the Deck
After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0); a post-side plan cannot be assessed until the deck is legal and sideboard is added

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in OCG: three cards exceed their copy limits (Ash Blossom and K9-17 Izuna at 3 copies against 2, Vanquish Soul Razen at 3 against 1), so the score is capped at 30 and the evaluation is structural-only. Structurally the list reliably opens its archetype core (about 98% to have at least one Vanquish Soul or K9 card in a 5-card hand) and carries dense hand-trap interaction (16 hand-trap-tagged cards, about 89% to see one in a 6-card going-second hand), which drives the going-second and resilience reads. The weakness is the system itself: 55 Main Deck cards with 12 three-copy slots and 17 tech cards dilute the starters, there is no Side Deck, and no recorded boards exist to measure combo ceiling or median output. Archetype popularity (K9 and Vanquish Soul core presence) confirms the list is a real, accessible build, but it earned no power points on its own, and the score was not an average of individual card scores.

Dimension scores

#	Dimension	Score	Evidence
D1	Engine Accessibility & Consistency	62	P(at least one of a specific 3-copy starter in 5 cards) is about 0.25, but the archetype-core group is about 0.98 to be present in hand; consistency is moderate (Inferred)
D2	Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management	50	16 hand traps plus Mulcharmy draw and searcher text give a fair functional hand, but the mix of 17 tech cards and 12 three-copy slots raises dead-card risk (Inferred)
D3	Combo Conversion & Ceiling	55	No parseable recorded boards (combos_evidence total 0); ceiling read only from card text such as Vanquish Soul Start!, Caesar Valius and Heavy Borger (Inferred)
D4	Combo Floor & Median Output	45	No recorded boards, so no median power index or distribution exists; floor is unknown and set conservatively (Inferred)
D5	Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy	66	Multiple independent interaction and recovery routes (Ash, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Veidos, Mulcharmy draw, searchers) suggest repeated interruption survival (Inferred)
D6	Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind	58	Searchers and K9/Vanquish Soul float effects recover the board, but Mulcharmy and draw engines are not reliably tied to a resource loop (Inferred)
D7	End-Board & Interaction Quality	60	Stacked negation and destruction (Ash, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll, Masquerade, Umbral Horror Masquerade) gives layered interaction, with no measured interaction density (Inferred)
D8	Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power	70	Dense hand-trap package (16 cards) and Umbral Horror Masquerade's board effects make the deck strong going second, though interaction count is text-derived (Inferred)
D9	Offensive Pressure & Closing Power	62	Several 2500-3000 ATK bosses (Caesar Valius, Heavy Borger, Jacks, Umbral Horror Masquerade) provide closing pressure; no end-board samples exist (Inferred)
D10	Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility	45	55 Main Deck cards with 12 three-copy slots and 17 tech cards is compact in name but over-redundant, and the legal copy limits are exceeded (Inferred)
D11	Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage	58	15 Extra Deck slots spread across 12 Xyz, 3 Link and mixed K9/Vanquish/Number engines; Extra access depends on multiple Level 5 materials (Inferred)
D12	Side Deck Adaptability	20	No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so post-side adaptability is effectively absent (Verified)
D13	Matchup Coverage & Format Fit	50	No tournament link or dated meta sample, so matchup and format fit cannot be measured; set at a neutral provisional value (Provisional)
D14	Pilotability & Error Tolerance	40	Many decision points across hand traps, Quick Effects and Xyz chains; repeatable only for a practiced pilot (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (-20); No Side Deck (-3); Dependence on Limited cards (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: structural-only. Structural 55.7 (Midrange profile) and TR 45 would give 0.80*55.7+0.20*45 = 53.6, but the Illegal cap sets the final score to 30. Meta Power is null (provisional).

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 package (16 cards) gives strong going-second interaction
Archetype core (Vanquish Soul and K9) is present in about 98% of 5-card hands
Layered negation and destruction across hand traps and Xyz effects
Multiple Extra Deck closers with 2500-3000 ATK

Weaknesses

Illegal in OCG: three cards exceed copy limits
No Side Deck registered
12 three-copy slots and 17 tech cards dilute the starters
No recorded boards, so ceiling and median are unmeasured
Heavy dependence on Limited and Semi-Limited cards

Critical choke points

Vanquish Soul Razen and Ash Blossom copy limits must be fixed before any normal score is valid
Single-copy starters (Vanquish Soul Start!, K9-X Forced Release, Reinforcement of the Army) each sit on one copy in the Main Deck

Recommended changes

Priority	Remove	Add	Reason
1	1 copy of Vanquish Soul Razen	A legal Vanquish Soul or K9 searcher or starter	Razen is Limited to 1 copy and the list runs 3, so the deck cannot be legal until this is fixed
2	1 copy each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and K9-17 Izuna	Any legal Main Deck card of the same role	Both Semi-Limited cards are run at 3 against a limit of 2
3	Several tech cards (e.g. Chaotic Elements, Evenly Matched) as needed	A Side Deck of 15 cards	With side_count 0 the deck has no post-side plan; a 15-card side adds adaptability

Evidence & confidence

Verified: Three copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, K9-17 Izuna, Vanquish Soul Razen); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Side 0; Banlist status for Limited and Semi-Limited cards
Inferred: Opening-hand and going-second hand-trap estimates; Interaction and resilience reads from card text; Closing-power reads from Extra Deck ATK values
Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta sample); Meta Power (null)
Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No Side Deck registered No win-rate telemetry exists for this deck
