@Ignister Deck #768866 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon boss monsters (Allied Code Talker @Ignister, Maliss Red Ransom, Accesscode Talker, Decode Talker Integration) off Ignister, Maliss and Code Talker enablers (Inferred from card text; no combo data); Cyberse Wicckid and Firewall Dragon recursion/extension lines (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with 2-3 Backup/Wizard @Ignister and Maliss starters to reach a Link-3 or Link-4 boss, then hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird) for the opponent's first activation (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand's hand traps (13 copies in the Main Deck; about 82% chance of at least one per hand6 per the evidence) to break the opponent's first Link or Special Summon, then rebuild through Maliss and Ignister recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY through Maliss /

  effects, Backup @Ignister and Link recursion (Inferred from text)

• After siding: No Side Deck in this list (side_count 0); no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: three cards exceed their copy limits (Allure of Darkness x3 vs 1, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring x3 vs 2, Dominus Impulse x3 vs 2), so it receives no normal Final Contextual score and is capped at 30 as a theoretical, structural-only read. The system scores mid-range on engine access because the 20-card archetype core has about a 91% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, but the list mixes Ignister, Maliss, Mulcharmy, Code Talker, Dominus and Forbidden cards, and exact-name archetype purity is only 7.1%, which lowers coherence and brick-tolerance. Interaction density is the strongest area, with 13 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards giving about 82% at-least-one hand trap on going second. Consistency and conversion were scored from text and hypergeometric estimates only because no combos were supplied, and no Side Deck or tournament data exists, so the score reflects the structure of the list rather than any observed results. Popularity of the Ignister archetype did not raise the score, and card scores were not averaged into it.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: illegal copy limits (Limited/Semi-Limited overruns) (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (-12); Illegal list capped low and labelled theoretical-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

• 13 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards give layered interaction
• Archetype core (20 copies) has high opening-hand access (Inferred)
• Link Extra Deck of 15 gives multiple boss options across Ignister, Maliss, Code Talker and Cyberse

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three cards exceed their copy limits
• Exact archetype purity is 7.1%; the engine is split across several archetypes
• Non-engine staples (Terraforming, Gold Sarcophagus, Lightning Storm, Pot of Sloth) increase brick risk
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• The Ignister starters (Backup @Ignister, Wizard @Ignister) carry the Link-summon engine; losing them to hand traps or a single disruption removes the main path (Inferred)
• Legal-copy correction changes the opening-hand and hand-trap odds, so the probabilities above describe the illegal list only

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal; three over-limit cards (Allure of Darkness, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Dominus Impulse); Banlist statuses for Limited and Semi-Limited cards in this list; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 (within OCG size rules); Exact archetype purity 7.1%; Link Extra Deck breakdown 15 Link
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (archetype core 0.907; hand traps 0.819 going second); Engine coherence and brick risk from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot records absent No win-rate or brick-rate telemetry for this deck Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; no side deck present No guides attached for the archetype
