Black Luster Soldier Deck #769322 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Black Luster Soldier - Soldier of Light and Darkness and Black Chaos / Magician of Dark Chaos ritual boards via Light and Darkness Ritual, with Chaos Angel, Titaniklad and The Dragon that Devours the Dogma as Extra Deck closers; Fusion and Synchro beatsticks (Mirrorjade, Granguignol, Enigmaster Packbit, Despian Luluwalilith) when the ritual line is interrupted
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Mulcharmy or Light and Darkness Ritual searcher line on T1, use Mind Shuffle, Ragged Records of Rites or Skull Archfiend to set up Black Chaos or Black Luster Soldier, keeping Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre up for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Kuriboh, Ghost Ogre, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru) to disrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draw effects and Black Chaos, with Black Skull Dragon as a board breaker
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw engine refills the hand when the board is empty, Pot of Sloth and Ragged Records of Rites rebuild the hand, and Skull Archfiend recurs ritual monsters from the GY
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs a 0-card Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal as submitted: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization are each run three times against a Semi-Limited limit of two, so the score is capped and labelled theoretical and structural only. Its structure is a Midrange hybrid built on a Mulcharmy draw engine, a Light and Darkness Ritual core and a large hand-trap package, which gives it strong resilience and a real closing power (ATK 2800 to 3500 across the ritual and Extra Deck bodies). Engine accessibility is reasonable, since the archetype core has an estimated 84 percent chance of at least one card in a five-card opening hand, but the list mixes several sub-archetypes (exact archetype purity 0 percent) and has no Side Deck, which lowers the score. No combo boards, guides, or tournament results were supplied, so the floor, median and ceiling are inferred from card text rather than measured. Archetype popularity was not credited, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with a Combo secondary; scored on the Midrange weight table. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Copy-limit violations (-8); No Side Deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(61) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) + modifiers(-12) = 46.8, capped to 40 as theoretical/structural-only because the list is illegal

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · 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

• Mulcharmy draw engine refills the hand and punishes empty boards
• Nine hand traps give strong going-second disruption
• High-ATK ritual and Extra Deck bodies give real closing power
• Extra Deck is well covered with Fusion, Synchro and Link options

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed the Semi-Limited limit
• Mixed sub-archetypes (0 percent exact archetype purity) reduce engine coherence
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No combo, guide or tournament evidence, so the score rests on text and probability estimates

Critical choke points

• Light and Darkness Ritual searcher and ritual setup is needed for most big boards
• Mulcharmy draw requires an empty field and is weak when the opponent controls many cards
• Extra Deck closers depend on specific materials such as Fallen of Albaz for Chaos Angel and Titaniklad

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is illegal: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed the copy limit; Main 57, Extra 15, Side 0 are within the OCG size rules; Black Luster Soldier archetype id 809, with 8 of 8 usage core cards present
• Inferred: Engine accessibility P(at least 1 starter) 0.84 from the archetype core group; Hand-trap value on going second (P at least 1 hand trap in hand 6 about 0.66); Interaction, resilience and closing scores read from card text
• Provisional: Median output (D4) and matchup and format fit (D13) are neutral placeholders without combos or a meta sample; Meta Power is null
• 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 guides supplied for the archetype No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null
