Nemeses Deck #768903 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 37/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Ritual Beast Ulti fusion and link bosses (Ulti-Gaiapelio 3200 ATK, Ulti-Nochiudrago 2400, Ulti-Apelio 2600) summoned by banishing Tamer and Spiritual Beast materials; Archnemeses Eschatos (3000 ATK) and Mulcharmy card advantage grinding the game out
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Ritual Beast Tamer with Elder, Lara or Wen, build toward a Ulti fusion or link via Spiritual Beast and Tamer bodies; Mulcharmy draw engines add pressure on opponent Summons
• Turn 2 (going second): Force-interaction from Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown, Lightning Storm or Solemn Judgment, then rebuild the Ritual Beast board from the graveyard or banish zone with recursion from Tamer Lara and Winda
• Recovery: Recursion through Ritual Beast Tamer Lara in the graveyard, Spiritual Beast Tamer Winda on destruction, and Ritual Beast Inheritance searches; Mulcharmy draws refill the hand
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck's structural read rests on its Ritual Beast engine: 24 core-archetype copies give a 95 percent chance of at least one in the opening hand, and 13 searcher-text cards give about 76 percent for at least one searcher in five cards (Inferred). Ceiling is text-only because no recorded boards exist, so Ulti fusions and the Eschatos boss are scored as potential, not observed, output. Interaction is broad (22 removal-text, 9 negation-text cards and several floodgates), but about 8 of the 15 tech cards need specific targets, which costs brick management and pilotability. Popularity did not earn points: the Nemeses name has 2.9 percent exact-name purity and the usage data only confirms the Ritual Beast core. Card scores were not averaged; the score comes from the system, and the deck is capped low because Super Polymerization exceeds its OCG copy limit.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary weights not applied (single-profile weights used). Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal copy limit (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) = 49 pre-modifier; Meta provisional; illegal-deck modifier -12 gives 37 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• 24 core-archetype copies make the Ritual Beast engine reliably accessible
• Broad interaction across removal, negation and floodgate text
• Extra Deck has real closing bosses (Ulti-Gaiapelio 3200, Eschatos 3000)
• Mulcharmy and Garura add card-draw economy

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Super Polymerization exceeds the OCG copy limit
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptability
• Mixed sub-archetypes (Ritual Beast, Mulcharmy, Forbidden, Nemeses) dilute the engine
• Several tech cards need specific targets and are dead in some hands

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck Ulti fusions and links require specific Tamer and Spiritual Beast materials in banish or graveyard
• Searcher density depends on a few Tamer copies; a hand without a searcher stalls the engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Super Polymerization run 3 vs OCG limit 2; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules; Card text and banlist statuses for all listed cards; Core archetype group 24 copies, P(at least one in hand of 5) = 0.95
• Observed: Usage data: the Ritual Beast core appears in the archetype's recorded decks at about 61 percent of listed core cards
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Brick and tech-dead rate estimates; Interaction breadth from removal and negation text; Ulti fusion and link ceiling from card text alone
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13); Side deck adaptability (D12)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck No side deck Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
