Phantasm Spiral Deck #769534 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss beats (Chaos Angel 3500 ATK, A Bao A Qu 2800 ATK, Starving Venom Fusion Dragon 2800 ATK), structural read only, no recorded boards; Yubel-branded fusion/link pressure with Phantom of Yubel and Unchained Soul link boards (text read, Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a searcher or draw-engine line (Mulcharmy, Nightmare Throne, Dark Beckoning Beast, Opening of the Spirit Gates), then build a Link or Synchro board (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning) to interrupt the opponent's first summon, then convert through Extra Deck bosses (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw triggers, Yubel revival text and Spirit of Yubel / Unchained recursion (text read, Inferred)
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards in a format that allows up to 15, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a searcher or draw-engine start: the searcher-text group gives P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.81, and the Mulcharmy engine is present at 9 copies. Its interaction is the strongest part of the list, with 12 negation-text and 15 removal-text cards, five hand traps, and Solemn/Ash/Droll coverage, so it can contest the first summon. Conversion is structurally plausible through Extra Deck bosses, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The archetype spread is scattered across Mulcharmy, Unchained, Sacred Beast, Yubel and about 27 generic cards, and the deck has no side deck. The score was not produced by averaging card scores or by the archetype's popularity. The list is illegal because Varudras (Forbidden in OCG) is run at 1 copy, so the structural score is capped at 25 and labelled theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange weights applied as-is; Toolbox noted as secondary but not blended. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); no side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 52 pre-modifier; modifiers -12 → 40; capped at 25 because the list is Illegal (Varudras Forbidden). Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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 interaction: 12 negation-text and 15 removal-text cards, 5 hand traps
• Searcher and draw-engine density gives a high chance of a live opening hand
• Extra Deck boss options at 2800 to 3500 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Varudras is Forbidden in OCG
• No side deck in a best-of-3 format
• Scattered archetype core with many generic and off-archetype cards
• Mulcharmy draw triggers depend on an empty field, which is awkward to meet

Critical choke points

• Varudras slot must be removed before the list is playable
• Hand-trap dependence on going second with no side plan

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Varudras is Forbidden in OCG and is run at 1 copy, making the list illegal; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; main and extra sizes are within the OCG range; All other copy counts are within their banlist limits; Zero side cards
• Inferred: Searcher-text P(at least one in opening 5) ≈ 0.81 gives the engine access estimate; Interaction density from negation and removal text; Going-first and going-second plans derived from card text; Extra Deck boss ceiling from ATK values
• Provisional: Meta power is null because no dated metagame sample is supplied; Matchup and format fit cannot be assessed without tournament data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for this deck Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null No guides attached to the archetype
