Runick (Mysterune) Deck #768835 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker Ace link-monster board built from Sky Striker Ace monsters, with Raye and Hornet Drones tokens as the only real starters; Runick Quick-Play spell interaction (negation and removal) to slow the opponent while the engine tries to go live
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Hornet Drones or Raye, use the Ace token or Raye Tribute to reach an Extra Deck Sky Striker Ace link, then search or recycle a Sky Striker spell
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Runick Freezing Curses, Runick Flashing Fire, Runick Destruction and Sky Striker Mecha - Widow Anchor as interaction and try to make a one-card answer work through the opponent's board
• Recovery: Recycle Sky Striker spells from the GY through Sky Striker Mobilize - Engage!, Lemnisgate and Ace - Zeke / Camellia, and use Radiant Typhoon Vision to draw
• After siding: Not evaluable: the list has no side deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in OCG (Runick Fountain at 3 copies against a limit of 1), so the score is capped and reported as structural-only. The main deck is 36 spells and only 4 main-deck monsters (Raye x3 and Roze x1), so a Sky Striker Ace starter is live in roughly 43% of 5-card opening hands (monster-in-hand probability, Inferred). Most Runick Quick-Play spells try to Special Summon a Runick monster from the Extra Deck, and the only Runick Extra Deck monster is Hugin (1 copy), so those clauses are largely dead; the Runick cards therefore contribute mainly as negation and removal rather than as engine pieces. No combos, guides, tournament data or win-rate telemetry are supplied, so the combo and matchup dimensions are text-based and low confidence. The score comes from the system: thin starter access, a spell-heavy draw structure and a legality violation, with interaction counted once. Archetype popularity and card-level power were not averaged in.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 36, Going First ≈ 33, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 25. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); engine_conflict (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); illegal-deck cap applied: theoretical/structural-only with modifiers, so the final value is reported as the capped structural read

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.43 · 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

• Four separate interaction effects (negation, removal, Widow Anchor control steal) give broad answers to the opponent's board
• Radiant Typhoon Vision and Ace - Zeke / Camellia recycle Sky Striker spells, which helps the GY-based recovery

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Runick Fountain at 3 copies against a limit of 1
• Only 4 main-deck monsters, so the engine starter is absent from most opening hands
• Many Runick spells require a Runick Extra Deck monster that the list does not have
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• Raye or the Hornet Drones token is the only real route to an Ace link, and both are single-line starters
• Each Sky Striker Ace link needs a Sky Striker Ace monster on the field, so the Extra Deck link engine depends on the main-deck monsters

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Runick Fountain runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 1 (OCG); Main Deck 40, Extra Deck 15, Side Deck 0; Main-deck monster count is 4 (Raye x3, Roze x1); Side deck is empty
• Inferred: Monster-in-hand starter probability ≈ 0.43; Engine conflict between the Runick and Sky Striker plans; Most Runick spell summon clauses are dead with only Hugin in the Extra Deck; Consistency and brick estimates for all dimensions
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Meta power
• 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 Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck, so post-side performance is not evaluable
