Blackwings Deck #769533 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro beatdown from Blackwing Synchro monsters (Black-Winged Dragon, Blackwing Full Armor Master, Assault Blackwing Kusanagi/Raikiri/Chidori, Blackwing Armor Master) once a Blackwing tuner and non-tuner are on board; Black-Winged Dragon and Storm-Bane Dragon Destorbim as extra-deck beaters with removal support
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a low-level Blackwing (Vata, Sudri, Simoon) into a Black Whirlwind or Blackwing search, then Synchro on the second Blackwing monster; hand traps such as Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence protect the first turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle, Skill Drain and Solemn Strike to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild a Blackwing Synchro through Shamal, Chinook or Sharnga special summon routes
• Recovery: Recover through graveyard Blackwing revival effects (Blizzard, Harmattan, Zephyros, Twin Shadow) and Black Feather Whirlwind to rebuild the Synchro board
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the list cannot be legally played as submitted

Why it scores here

The deck can open a functional Blackwing starter in roughly one of four opening hands (P(at least one 3-copy starter in 5 cards) about 0.28, Inferred), and the eight hand traps give it a plausible second-turn interruption line, especially going second (P(at least one hand trap in 6) about 0.67, Inferred). Its ceiling comes from the 14-card Synchro Extra Deck, where Black-Winged Dragon, Blackwing Full Armor Master and the Assault Blackwing Synchros reach 2800 to 3200 ATK, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The main deck spends slots on off-archetype tech (Harpie's Feather Duster, Pot of Prosperity, Monster Reborn, Triple Tactics Talent) that lower compactness, and the list has no side deck. The deck is not scored on its archetype's popularity: one recorded usage stat (Silverwind, 60% inclusion) is absent from this list, and no card scores were averaged. The score is capped at 30 because the list is Illegal: it runs a Forbidden card, three Ash Blossom copies over its Semi-Limited limit, and two Allure of Darkness over its Limited limit, so only a theoretical structural read applies.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, no secondary weighting applied. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal-status cap (-9). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical structural-only. 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 51.2, then banlist exposure modifier -12 gives 39.2, then capped to 30 for Illegal status (Meta provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.28 · 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

• Eight hand traps and two negation spells give resilience against common opening interaction
• Synchro Extra Deck with several 2800 to 3200 ATK beaters and graveyard-based recursion
• Searcher density (11) helps the starter route stay live

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent and two over-limit restricted cards
• Off-archetype tech (Harpie's Feather Duster, Pot of Prosperity, Monster Reborn, Triple Tactics Talent) dilutes consistency
• No side deck registered, so no post-side plan
• Low starter probability in the opening hand (about 0.28 for 3-copy starters)

Critical choke points

• Single-turn Blackwing starter access on going first
• Blackwing Synchro requirement on the field before a Synchro summon

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Forbidden status of Triple Tactics Talent and over-limit counts for Ash Blossom and Allure of Darkness; Main deck size 50 is within the 40 to 60 range and Extra deck 14 is within the 0 to 15 range; Side deck count is 0
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability about 0.28; Hand-trap access probability about 0.67 going second; Dimension scores D1 through D14 are estimates from card text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated meta sample, no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences No tournament link, so archetype meta share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered
