Fiendsmith Deck #769689 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 33/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Live☆Twin / Evil★Twin Link pressure (Evil★Twin's Trouble Sunny, 3300 ATK) built from Ki-sikil/Lil-la chains; Fiendsmith's Lacrima as a secondary closer; Mulcharmy draw-and-hand-advantage grind into Extra Deck Links
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Secret Password or Live☆Twin Sunny's Snitch, search a Live☆Twin, Normal Summon Lil-la or Ki-sikil, chain Link Summons to Evil★Twin monsters; hold Ash Blossom and Solemn Warning up for the first disruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand for a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Maxx "C") to cut the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and Live☆Twin Lil-la Treat
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Unchained Soul Lord of Yama and Evil★Twin Lil-la revival, plus Mulcharmy Fuwalos/Purulia hand refills
• After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck is submitted in this export (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected system, not as an average of its card scores: it is a mixed Live☆Twin / Evil★Twin / Mulcharmy / PSY-Frame build that shares a name with Fiendsmith but runs only 7 exact Fiendsmith cards (about 10% exact-name purity) and only 5 of the 10 archetype core cards. The starter probability is low, with a 3-copy starter at about 25% in a 5-card opening hand and the archetype core group at about 51%, so consistency is the main drag. Interaction is the strongest area (12 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards, about 79% chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand, Inferred), but the 18 tech slots and 21 singleton removal/negation effects add brick risk. The list is Illegal: two Forbidden cards (D/D/D Wave High King Caesar and Knightmare Gryphon) must be removed, so the Structural score is capped as theoretical only. No combo boards, tournament context, or side deck were supplied, so the floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inferences and the Meta score is null.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Midrange secondary (disclosed; weighted to Toolbox). Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Forbidden cards in list) (-8); Engine conflicts (-2); Dependence on one Extra-Deck card (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers; Illegal legality cap applied (theoretical 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: 12 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards
• Multiple Link Summon routes with a 3300 ATK Link-4 closer
• Mulcharmy draw engine gives card advantage

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards must be removed
• Low exact-archetype purity (10%); only 5 of 10 core Fiendsmith cards present
• High brick risk from 18 tech cards and 21 singletons
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• Ki-sikil or Lil-la on board is required for most Link lines
• Evil★Twin's Trouble Sunny is the main closer and a single Extra copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Caesar and Knightmare Gryphon are Forbidden with 1 copy each; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; 34 distinct Main cards; Restricted-card banlist tokens for all listed Limited/Semi-Limited cards
• Inferred: Starter probability ≈ 0.25 per 3-copy starter in a 5-card hand; Hand-trap probability ≈ 0.79 in a going-second 6-card hand; Interaction density and brick-risk reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) need a dated meta sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck submitted, so post-side plans cannot be scored
