Mekk-Knights Deck #769694 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon 3000-ATK Mekk-Knight Links (Crusadia Avramax, Spectrum Supreme) and hold the board with Mekk-Knight column-summon and destruction effects; World Legacy / Orcust Link recursion (Galatea, Lib, Morning Star) feeding Dingirsu and World Legacy monsters back into the board
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening searchers (Mekk-Knight Morning Star, Galatea-I, Piri Reis Map) gather Mekk-Knight and World Legacy pieces toward a Link 3 or Link 4 board. Inferred from card text; no recorded boards.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Solemn Strike, Forbidden Droplet) and Link-column summons answer the opponent's board, then Link Summons rebuild pressure. Inferred.
• Recovery: Recursion from the GY through World Legacy Succession, World Legacy's Memory and Galatea-I, plus banish-cost Mekk-Knight effects. Inferred from text only.
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence.

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG: it runs 3 copies of Super Polymerization against a limit of 2, and its Extra Deck holds 16 cards against a maximum of 15. Under the rubric it is capped and scored only as a theoretical, structural read. Structural power is about 49 on the Midrange profile. Mekk-Knight column summons, three 3000-ATK Links and 17 negation-text and 21 removal-text cards give real interaction and closing power. Consistency is middling: only 27 distinct Main Deck cards, 22 generic cards and 12 Link-enabling cards, with 0% exact-name Mekk-Knight purity. P(at least one searcher in an opening 5) is about 0.72, but the 7-copy archetype core is present in an opening hand only about 51% of the time (Inferred). The score comes from consistency, interaction and closing power on the system, not from the archetype's popularity or from averaging the card scores. No combos, tournament record or side deck were supplied, so Meta and Tournament Reliability carry low evidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary noted but not blended. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal deck (copy limit and Extra Deck overflow) (-10); Banlist exposure (-2). Final formula: No dated metagame: 0.80*Structural(49) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 48.2; modifiers -12 gives 36.2; Illegal cap sets the reported score to 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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

• Strong closing bodies: three 3000-ATK Link monsters plus Mekk-Knight column-summon routes
• Dense interaction: 21 removal-text and 17 negation-text cards, with Solemn Strike, Lightning Storm and Forbidden Droplet
• Searcher coverage: 12 searcher-text cards give P(>=1 in opening 5) of about 0.72

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: over the copy limit on Super Polymerization and over the Extra Deck size
• Low exact-archetype purity (0%) with 22 generic and 12 tech cards, which weakens the engine's coherence
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• The Link Summon chain depends on Link monsters in the Extra Deck; losing one Link or Galatea-I cuts several routes
• The 7-copy archetype core is in an opening hand only about 51% of the time
• Limited staples (Droll & Lock Bird, Crossout Designator, S:P Little Knight) each run one copy, so a single removal breaks the plan

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Super Polymerization over the copy limit (3 vs 2), Extra Deck 16 vs 15; Banlist: Crossout Designator, Droll & Lock Bird and S:P Little Knight are Limited, one copy each; Composition: 55 Main, 16 Extra, 0 Side; 12 Link, 3 Fusion, 1 Xyz; archetype purity 0%
• Observed: Usage stats: Girsu, the Orcust Mekk-Knight and World Legacy Succession are core cards; the deck runs them
• Inferred: Searcher access P(>=1 in 5) about 0.72 and archetype-core access about 0.51; Midrange structural read (interaction and closing power on the system); Going-first and going-second plans read from card text
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (D13): no dated metagame or tournament data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred No Side Deck: post-side plan not assessable No guides for this archetype
