Runick (Mysterune) Deck #769820 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 48 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Runick Quick-Play chain that banishes the opponent's deck and Special Summons Runick Fusion/Link monsters through the Extra Monster Zone to attack with Extra Deck boss monsters; Fusion boss monsters such as Freki the Runick Fangs and Sleipnir the Runick Mane pressuring the board after the Quick-Play lines resolve
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Runick Quick-Play starter (Flashing Fire, Freezing Curses, Tip, or Destruction) and use it to Special Summon a Runick monster from the Extra Deck, banishing cards along the way; the Fountain plan is not legal as built
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Quick-Play Runick spells to respond to the opponent's board, negate or destroy the threat, and then Special Summon a Runick Extra Deck monster to take over the board
• Recovery: Recycle Runick Quick-Play spells from the GY (Runick Fountain, if legal) and use search effects from Runick Tip and Radiant Typhoon Vision to rebuild the starter
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is built around a Runick Quick-Play engine: 40 Spells, most of them Quick-Play, that each banish cards from the opponent's Deck and Special Summon a Runick Extra Deck monster through the Extra Monster Zone. The archetype core is consistent, with 21 Runick copies giving about a 95 percent chance of at least one Runick in a 5-card opening hand, and the four 3-copy starters each have about a 29 percent chance of appearing in the opening hand. Interaction is layered through negation and removal Quick-Plays and Solemn cards, with no hand traps and no floodgates. Recorded combo data is absent, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The deck is illegal as built because Runick Fountain runs 3 copies against a Limited cap of 1, which caps the score. The score was not raised by Runick's popularity, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 50.3, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-4); illegal_cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 48.2 + (-12) = 36.2; capped at 35 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Consistent Runick core: 21 archetype copies give about a 95 percent chance of at least one in the opening 5 cards
• Layered removal and negation through Quick-Play spells, with no hand-trap dependence
• Compact 48-card main deck with an Extra Deck covering several Runick summon routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Runick Fountain runs 3 copies against a Limited cap of 1
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, guides or tournament data to confirm the real conversion rate
• Individual 3-copy starters appear in the opening 5 cards only about 29 percent of the time

Critical choke points

• Runick Quick-Play starters are needed to reach the Runick Extra Deck summon, so a hand without one is largely dead
• The Battle Phase skip on each Runick Quick-Play activation limits follow-up pressure

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 48 and Extra Deck 15 are within the size rules; Runick Fountain has 3 copies against a Limited cap of 1 (illegal); The Runick archetype has 36 cards, and 21 are Runick core cards; No hand traps or floodgates are present
• Observed: Usage stats show Runick Flashing Fire, Runick Freezing Curses, Runick Tip and Runick Destruction at 90 to 100 percent inclusion
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities from the hypergeometric estimates; Interaction and resilience quality from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit, since no dated metagame sample is supplied
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first, going-second and matchup rates are Unknown no Side Deck registered, so post-side performance is not evaluated Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
