Blackwings Deck #769544 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro beatdown from Blackwing Synchro monsters (Blackwing Armed Wing, Armor Master, Silverwind) after Blackwing Tuner/non-Tuner setup; Dark End Dragon, Colossal Fighter and Stardust Dragon as Extra Deck boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Blackwing Tuner plus a Blackwing non-Tuner, Normal Summon Sirocco or Blizzard, then Synchro into a Blackwing boss while holding a trap for the opponent's first answer
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Bottomless Trap Hole, Dimensional Prison, Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute or Solemn Judgment to clear the opponent's first board, then Synchro through the gap
• Recovery: Recycle Blackwing monsters through Black Whirlwind and the Vayu/Gale Synchro recursion, with D.D. Crow or Dust Tornado as backup interaction
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a structure only because its list is illegal: three Forbidden cards are run over the copy limit, including two copies of Royal Oppression, so the evaluation is capped. Its Blackwing core has a weak starter density, since each 3-copy starter is about 25% to appear in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the 22 traps and 32 level-0 spells and traps make the hand prone to bricks. Its strength is interaction: Bottomless Trap Hole, Dimensional Prison, Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute, Pulling the Rug, Solemn Judgment, Heavy Storm and D.D. Crow give it dense end-board and going-second answers (Inferred from card text). The score was not raised by Blackwings being a popular archetype, and no card scores were averaged; the 0 recorded combos and 0 tournament links leave the offensive and median-output dimensions low-confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with a Control secondary; Midrange weights used for the structural score. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); illegal list cap (-14). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability - 6 (banlist exposure) = 39.4, then capped at 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 package with removal, negation and hand-trap text across Bottomless Trap Hole, Dimensional Prison, Mirror Force and Solemn Judgment
• Multiple Synchro bosses at 2300 to 2800 ATK in the Extra Deck
• Blackwing recursion through Black Whirlwind and Vayu/Gale gives some route redundancy

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Royal Oppression x2, Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo and Trap Dustshoot are Forbidden and over the copy limit
• Low starter density: each 3-copy starter appears in about 25% of opening hands going first (Inferred)
• Trap-heavy Main Deck with 32 level-0 spells and traps and 19 single-copy cards increases brick risk (Inferred)
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Blackwing Tuner availability for every Synchro line
• Reliance on Dimensional Prison, Mirror Force and Torrential Tribute as the going-second answer package

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Royal Oppression, Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo and Trap Dustshoot are Forbidden and over the copy limit (2, 1 and 1 copies run, 0 legal); Main Deck is 55 cards and Extra Deck is 15 cards, both within OCG size rules; Side deck is empty; Extra Deck contains 14 Synchro and 1 Fusion
• Inferred: Each 3-copy starter appears in about 25% of opening hands going first (hypergeometric); Interaction density is high across the removal and negation text; Trap-heavy composition raises brick risk; Going-second clears followed by Synchro bosses is the intended plan
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit are provisional without a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No side deck registered No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Usage statistics report Blackwing - Silverwind the Ascendant as not in this deck (in this deck false, copies 0), but the card list shows it in the Extra Deck with 1 copy; the core-present figure is therefore unreliable
