Kashtira Deck #768850 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira Xyz boards (Shangri-Ira, Dark Armed, Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon) built from Kashtira starters, closing through high-ATK Xyz monsters; Going-second hand-trap disruption (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) into a Xyz follow-up
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Kashtira Riseheart or Kashtira Birth and search the engine through Pressured Planet Wraitsoth or Kashtiratheosis; Fenrir and Unicorn lines are not legal in the current list
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence to slow the opponent's first Summon, then rebuild with Kashtira Unicorn or Riseheart
• Recovery: Recover from the Extra Deck with Kashtiratheosis (banished-Kashtira revival) and Kashtira Birth, and draw through Pot of Extravagance or Pot of Prosperity
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan. Any future side must come from the 15 Side Deck slots

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system, not from averaging card scores. The archetype core (15 Kashtira-named copies) is P(at least one in opening 5) of about 0.81, so the engine usually starts, although the Forbidden Fenrir and the over-limit Unicorn and Ash copies make part of that access illegal. Interaction is dense: six hand traps and about 13 negation-text cards give the deck a real going-second plan. Closing power is strong because the Extra Deck carries several 2800 to 3000 ATK Xyz monsters. Main-deck efficiency is weak: 13 three-copy slots, 13 Trap/Spell non-engine cards (Typhoon, Dimensional Fissure, Different Dimension Ground, Hey Space Trunade) and a 25.7% exact-archetype purity lower the score, and the empty side deck costs points on adaptability. Popularity in the usage statistics confirms the core is real, but it does not add points by itself. The Illegal legality status means the score is structural-only and capped low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); over_limit_copies (-2); no_side_deck (0); illegal_cap (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + Modifiers = 0.80*51 + 0.20*40 - 10 = 38.8, capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (structural-only, Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.19 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong Xyz closers in the Extra Deck (Shangri-Ira DEF 3000, Divine Arsenal, Chengying, TY-PHON, Dark Armed, Red-Eyes Flare)
• Six hand traps plus Solemn Judgment give going-second interaction
• Archetype core of 15 copies gives high P(engine starter in opening 5)
• Extra Deck is well used: 14 Xyz plus one Synchro, with compact coverage

Weaknesses

• Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden and run 3 times (0 legal copies)
• Ash Blossom (3 copies) and Kashtira Unicorn (3 copies) exceed their copy limits
• No Side Deck registered for a best-of-3 format
• Many off-plan Spells/Traps (Typhoon, Dimensional Fissure, Different Dimension Ground, Hey Space Trunade, Terraforming) dilute the engine
• Exact-archetype purity of 25.7% suggests a diluted list

Critical choke points

• Removing the illegal Fenrir and reducing Ash and Unicorn to legal copies removes about 8 engine and interaction cards, so the replacement quality decides the engine
• Hand traps (Ash, Droll, Infinite Impermanence) are the only going-second answer; if they are reduced or drawn badly, the deck has no early interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Fenrir Forbidden x3, Ash over-limit (3 vs 2), Unicorn over-limit (3 vs 1); Main Deck 55 and Extra Deck 15 are within OCG size rules; Side Deck is 0; Usage statistics: Ash, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Fenrir are core cards in the archetype; 6 of 10 core cards are present; Archetype core group of 15 copies and P(>=1 in opening 5) = 0.8108
• Inferred: Opening-hand engine access (0.81) and brick proxy (0.19) are hypergeometric estimates; Hand-trap interaction density and going-second plan are read from card text; Xyz closing power is read from listed ATK and DEF values, not from recorded boards
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample is supplied; D13 matchup fit is provisional; no tournament link exists
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null and the Side Deck is empty
