Crystron Deck #769364 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Crystron and K9 Xyz/Synchro boards (Crystron Quariongandrax, K9-X Werewolf, K9-66X Jacks, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS) converting searched or recycled material into a 3000+ ATK end board; Infinitrack River Stormer and Crystron Eleskeletus pressure from the Extra Deck once the board is protected by hand traps and Crystron Cluster
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Crystron Inclusion, Chaotic Elements, K9 searchers), keep a hand trap up, then build toward a Level 5 Xyz from the Crystron/K9 Level 5 bodies
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched and Solemn Judgment or Strike to break the opponent's first summon, then rebuild from the GY via Crystron Citree and Crystron Tristaros
• Recovery: Recycle Crystron monsters from GY and banishment with Crystron Cluster and Crystron Inclusion, and use Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Purulia as a drawing floor when the board is empty
• After siding: Not evaluated: the list runs no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The list reliably opens a searcher-driven starter: P(at least one core Crystron/K9 card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.70 and P(at least one searcher-text card) is about 0.84, both hypergeometric estimates (Inferred). Interaction is the strongest part of the system, with seven hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Strike, Droll and Ash-style negations, and a removal-heavy Crystron package that keeps a board alive and layers protection. Closing power comes from Extra Deck Xyz and Synchro bodies such as Crystron Quariongandrax, K9-X Werewolf and Vallon, which are real end-board threats but are not supported by any recorded combo boards. The score is not an average of card strength and does not reward Crystron's popularity (usage stats only show the list is real and accessible). The deck is Illegal on copy limits (Ash Blossom and K9-17 Izuna at 3 copies against a legal 2), so the score is capped as a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 57, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (copy-limit violations) (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 54; minus 12 banlist-exposure modifier = 42; capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.7 · 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

• Dense, layered interaction: seven hand traps plus Solemn Judgment, Solemn Strike, Droll and Crystron Cluster
• Searcher density (17 text cards) gives a high chance of a live starter
• Broad Extra Deck coverage with several 3000-class end-board threats

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violations on Ash Blossom and K9-17 Izuna
• Low archetype purity (26.4 percent exact name) across four sub-engines
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• One main-deck passcode unresolved and no recorded combo boards

Critical choke points

• Copy-limit violations must be removed before the list can be played at all
• A single Solemn or Ash answer on the opponent's turn can stop the first starter
• Limited cards (Solemn Judgment, Droll, Foolish Burial) are one-copy hard limits

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck is 58 cards and Extra Deck is 14, both inside the size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and K9-17 Izuna are at 3 copies against a legal 2 (Semi-Limited); Card stats and text for Crystron, K9, Mulcharmy and Solemn cards; Archetype purity 26.4 percent and archetype spread from the deck export
• Observed: Usage stats show Crystron Inclusion, Crystron Cluster, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Foolish Burial as core cards in this archetype
• Inferred: Starter consistency (0.70 core, 0.84 searcher) from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction quality from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability
• 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 1 passcode in the deck list could not be resolved and was counted as a main-deck card no side deck supplied: post-side adaptability cannot be measured no win-rate telemetry: going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
