Maliss Deck #769308 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Link-engine
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon high-ATK Maliss and Bystial Link/beatstick threats (Maliss Red Ransom, Maliss Hearts Crypter, Accesscode Talker, Transcode Talker) off the Maliss engine, then close with 2300-2500 ATK bosses; Bystial 2500-ATK Level 6 bosses (Druiswurm, Magnamhut, Baldrake) via Special Summon from hand after banishing a LIGHT/DARK monster in either GY
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Maliss or @Ignister starter (March Hare, Chessy Cat, Backup @Ignister, Wizard @Ignister) to reach a Link-3 or Link-4 line; protect with Maliss traps and Solemn/Ash backup
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird, Dominus Impulse) to answer the opponent's first summon, then rebuild the Maliss Link board from the GY and banish zone
• Recovery: Maliss Link monsters and Maliss Traps recur from the banished zone; Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw back cards once the hand is empty (text-only, Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The score is set by the system, not by averaging card scores: the Maliss engine has a broad starter base (21 archetype-core copies, about 0.92 chance of opening at least one core card in 5), and the Link-based boards it can reach carry 2300-2500 ATK bosses and a dense layer of hand traps and negations (15 negation-text cards, 7 hand traps, 29 removal-text cards). Those strengths are offset by a fragmented main deck: only 14 of 55 main cards carry the exact Maliss name (20% purity), with 21 generic, Solemn, @Ignister, Mulcharmy, Bystial, Dominus and Greed cards, which raises brick and conflict risk. The list is illegal (three cards over the copy limit, so the score is capped and theoretical/structural-only). No recorded boards, tournament link, or side deck exist, so combo floor, matchup fit, and post-side scores are Inferred or Provisional, and archetype popularity was not used to earn points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-4); Engine conflict (-4); Dependence on one Extra-Deck card (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 53; ContextModifiers -12 = 41; capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (over copy limit), so the evaluation is theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Broad Maliss and @Ignister starter base with 21 archetype-core copies (opening-hand access about 0.92)
• Dense interaction: 15 negation-text cards, 7 hand traps and 3 floodgates
• High-ATK Link and Bystial bosses (2300-2500 ATK) give a real closing threat

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom x3, Dominus Impulse x3 and Allure of Darkness x2 exceed the OCG copy limits
• Low exact-archetype purity (20%): a mixed list with conflicting sub-engines
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Each 3-copy starter has only about 25% chance of appearing in an opening 5-card hand
• Link Summon chain depends on specific Extra Deck Links staying live through a single hand trap

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 3 cards over the copy limit (Ash Blossom 3/2, Dominus Impulse 3/2, Allure of Darkness 2/1); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; side deck is empty; Card text and ATK/DEF values for listed cards; Archetype core inclusion stats (Maliss Hearts Crypter 100%, Maliss MTP-07 100%, Maliss Dormouse 96%)
• Inferred: Starter probabilities (hypergeometric) and archetype-core access; Interaction density and negation layering from text hints; Combo and resilience reads from card text (no recorded boards); Extra-Deck dependency and engine-conflict reads
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13); Going-first and going-second splits
• Data gaps: 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 win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck: post-side plan cannot be evaluated Deck title is null
