Runick (Mysterune) Deck #769528 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Runick Extra Deck link and fusion monsters (Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Dark Chaos, Chaos Angel) convert the turns that Runick Quick-Play spells buy by banishing or negating opposing cards.; Light and Darkness Ritual Ritual Summons (Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos) using Ritual Spells and Mind Shuffle searches.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Runick searcher or a Quick-Play Runick spell, use Runick Tip or Ragged Records of Rites to find a Runick Extra Deck monster, then Extra Deck summon through Runick Tip or Runick Smiting Storm while skipping the Battle Phase.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Runick Freezing Curses, Runick Flashing Fire, Runick Destruction or Infinite Impermanence in hand to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild with a Runick Extra Deck monster and Runick Fountain recursion.
• Recovery: Runick Fountain returns up to 3 Runick Quick-Play spells from the GY to the bottom of the Deck and draws the same number, while Ragged Records of Rites and Runick Tip re-search Runick cards from the Deck.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan is recorded.

Why it scores here

The deck's plan is built on a Runick Quick-Play package that skips the Battle Phase and banishes or negates opposing cards, so its structural strength comes from how reliably it stops an opposing board and then converts a Runick Extra Deck monster into pressure. Its starter access is good for a 40-card deck: the archetype core group has an estimated 0.92 chance of at least one card in a 5-card opening hand, and 13 searcher-text cards help it find that core (Inferred). Interaction density is the strongest signal, with 5 negation and 22 removal-text cards across the main deck. Recorded combo data is absent, so the ceiling and floor scores rest on text-only reads and are held down by low confidence. The score does not come from popularity or from averaging card scores; it rests on consistency, interaction and resilience at the system level. The deck is Illegal as submitted (three cards are over their Limited copy limit, and the Side Deck is empty), so the normal Final Contextual score is capped and this result is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control primary; Toolbox noted as secondary, not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no Side Deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: normal formula 0.80*Structural(60) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) + Modifiers(-12) = 47, then capped to 35 as theoretical/structural-only because the list is Illegal (Meta Power provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• High interaction density: Quick-Play negations and removal (Runick Freezing Curses, Runick Flashing Fire, Runick Destruction, Runick Smiting Storm, Infinite Impermanence)
• Strong starter access: archetype core group ≈ 0.92 in a 5-card opening hand
• Boss-monster ceiling with Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier, Chaos Angel and Black Skull Dragon
• Recovery through Runick Fountain and Ragged Records of Rites

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: three over-limit Limited copies
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded combos, so the combo ceiling and floor are inferred from text only
• Two-engine build (Runick and Light and Darkness Ritual) with 16 Light and Darkness Ritual copies may dilute the core

Critical choke points

• Runick Extra Deck monster access through Runick Tip, Runick Smiting Storm and Runick Dispelling: a single hand without a Runick searcher or Extra Deck route stalls
• Runick Fountain, Droll & Lock Bird and S:P Little Knight as over-limit cards that must be cut to one copy each before the list is legal

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, three Limited cards over their copy limit; Main 40 and Extra 9 meet the OCG size rules; Side Deck is 0; Card text for Runick Quick-Play spells, Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier and Chaos Angel; Archetype usage: Runick Flashing Fire, Runick Freezing Curses, Runick Tip, Runick Destruction at 90–100% inclusion
• Inferred: Starter access probability ≈ 0.92 (hypergeometric); Interaction density is high on text read; Consistency, brick rate and resilience estimates; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup/format fit (D13); Post-side adaptability (D12)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) No Side Deck, so no post-side evidence Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
