Blackwings Deck #768984 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro summon a Blackwing end-board (Black-Winged Assault Dragon 3200 ATK, Blackwing Full Armor Master, Blackwing Armor Master, Silverwind) and protect it with hand traps and Synchro-zone removal; Black-Winged Dragon recursion through Blackwing Synchro engine and Blackwing Tamer / Assault Blackwing Kusanagi attacks
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Blackwing Tuner or D.D. Crow / Blackwing Armor Master-bridging starter, search a Blackwing via Black Whirlwind or Sudri, then Synchro into a 2-3 threat board while keeping Ash / Infinite Impermanence up
• Turn 2 (going second): Play through the opponent's board with 15 hand traps (Ash, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, D.D. Crow, Nibiru), then Synchro once a Blackwing Tuner is live
• Recovery: Blackwing GY effects (Vayu, Zephyros, Sharnga) and Black-Winged Dragon recursion rebuild the Synchro engine from the Graveyard
• After siding: Not evaluable: side_count is 0, so there is no side deck and no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The score reflects the deck as a system, not an average of its cards. The Blackwing core (Sudri, Vata, Simoon, Black Whirlwind, 3 copies each) and the archetype-core group give a high chance of having a Blackwing in the opening hand (about 0.84 for a 5-card hand, Inferred), and the deck converts that into Synchro threats. Its strongest asset is interruption: 15 hand traps and about 14 negation-text cards let it keep a Synchro line alive through the opponent's turn, which keeps interaction and resilience scores high. It is held back by a construction problem that caps it: Ash Blossom is run at 3 copies against a legal limit of 2, which makes the list Illegal, so no normal Final score is awarded and the number above is a structural, theoretical read only. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage stats confirm the list is real, but Silverwind (70.8% inclusion) and Nothung (50%) are absent from the Extra Deck, and there is no side deck, no recorded boards, no guides and no tournament link.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; no evidence strong enough to blend a second profile (Stun noted only as a secondary label). Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_copy_limit_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-4). Final formula: Structural 55 and TR 50 give 0.80*55 + 0.20*50 = 54, plus modifiers -12 = 42, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only, no normal Final score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.16 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong interruption package: 15 hand traps plus 14 negation-text cards keep a Synchro line alive (Inferred)
• High archetype-core access (~0.84 for a 5-card opener) with 3-copy Blackwing starters (Inferred)
• Recursion from the Graveyard (Vayu, Zephyros, Sharnga, Black-Winged Dragon) gives resilience after a board wipe (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 2 (Verified)
• No side deck, so no post-side plan (Verified)
• Core Extra Deck cards Silverwind (70.8% inclusion) and Nothung (50%) are absent (Verified via usage stats)
• 21 tech cards and 10 non-engine Spell/Trap cards add dead-draw risk (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom over copy limit: fix the list before any competitive read (Verified)
• Synchro summons depend on a live Blackwing Tuner in hand or GY (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 57, Extra 15, Side 0; main and extra sizes are legal under OCG rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies run, legal limit 2 (Illegal); Archetype core usage: Silverwind 70.8%, Sudri 58.3%, Vata 58.3%, Black Whirlwind 50%; Card text for all 29 main and 12 extra distinct cards from evidence
• Inferred: Archetype-core hand-5 access ~0.84 and starter hand-5 ~0.24 per 3-copy card (hypergeometric); Interruption resilience from hand-trap and recursion text; Going-second hand-6 hand-trap chance ~0.86; Structural score 55 from the Midrange weight profile
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability and matchup fit (no tournament link, no win-rate telemetry)
• Data gaps: Deck is Illegal (Ash Blossom over copy limit), so the score is theoretical/structural only No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No side deck: post-side plan cannot be evaluated No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so brick, going-first/second and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
