Kashtira Deck #769866 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 22/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira boss monsters (Shangri-Ira, Unicorn, Fenrir, Ogre) and Regenesis 2500-ATK/DEF monsters pressuring the board; Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon and Xyz/Fusion boards via Super Polymerization and Kashtiratheosis
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Kashtira or Regenesis starter, search a Kashtira/Regenesis follow-up with Regenesis, Unicorn or Fenrir effects, and summon a 2500+ monster to take the Main Phase
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence or Droll & Lock Bird to break the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Kashtira Birth and Regenesis searches
• Recovery: Banish Kashtira or Regenesis cards from the GY (Kashtiratheosis, Regenesis Cycle) to re-summon a 2500 monster and rebuild the board
• After siding: Not applicable: the Side Deck is empty, so no post-side plan is evidenced

Why it scores here

This Kashtira list has a real engine: the Kashtira and Regenesis searchers and summons give a 0.25 chance of drawing a 3-copy starter in a 5-card opening hand and a 0.61 chance of at least one archetype-core card, so the deck usually gets a board. Its interaction is layered, with Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird and Regenesis Commands covering several disruption windows. The score is limited by structure, not by card power: 19 of 35 distinct Main Deck cards are singletons, only 19.4% of copies match the exact Kashtira name, and the Side Deck is empty. The list is illegal in its current form, running Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir and Triple Tactics Talent, 3 copies of a Limited Unicorn, and 17 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card cap, so it receives a theoretical score and not a normal contextual rating. Popularity (Kashtira is a top-tier archetype) and the archetype usage stats were not credited as power, and no card scores were averaged into this result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary (not blended into weights). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); extra deck over limit (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*52 + 0.20*45 = 50.6. Legality cap applied because status is Illegal (Forbidden cards, copy-limit violations, Extra Deck over 15): final is capped to 22 and labelled 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 hand-trap and negation suite (7 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards)
• Multiple boss monsters at 2500 to 3000 ATK/DEF
• Strong archetype-core access (about 61% for at least one core card in hand)
• Recursion from the GY through Kashtiratheosis and Regenesis Cycle

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir and Triple Tactics Talent, Kashtira Unicorn at 3 copies against a limit of 1, and Extra Deck at 17
• No Side Deck (0 cards) means no post-side plan for best-of-3
• Low archetype purity (19.4% exact name); many generic and off-archetype slots
• Many singleton tech slots lower brick tolerance and repeatability

Critical choke points

• The Forbidden/over-limit cards are the first points of failure: the list cannot be played legally until they are removed
• The 2500-ATK/DEF requirement for Regenesis summons depends on a small number of Level 7+ monsters
• Single-copy Regenesis Lord and Regenesis Overlord are the only 2500 Summon-enablers for some lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir (2) and Triple Tactics Talent (1), Limited Kashtira Unicorn (3 copies vs 1), Extra Deck 17 > 15; Composition: 55 Main, 17 Extra, 0 Side; 35 distinct Main; 19.4% exact-name Kashtira purity; Card stats: Kashtira Shangri-Ira DEF 3000, Ogre ATK 2800, Dark Anthelion ATK 3000
• Observed: Usage statistics: Ash Blossom, Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Kashtira Fenrir and Infinite Impermanence are the archetype core in this deck (51% to 84% inclusion)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability 0.253 (3 copies) and archetype-core group 0.606; Hand-trap availability on going second 0.577; Midrange strategy and the dimension scores, derived from card text and composition
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (D13), no dated metagame sample supplied
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going first, going second, matchups, brick rate or starter rate Side Deck is empty, so no post-side evidence exists Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
