K9 Deck #769904 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 51/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Xyz/Fusion/Link beaters (Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King, Mementotlan-Horned Dragon, Mementotlan Twin Dragon, K9-ØØ Hound) reached through K9 and Memento searchers and Fusion/Xyz summons; Direct-attack and board-pressure lines from Mementoal Tecuhtlica (5000 ATK) and K9 Xyz monsters, once a stable board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening search (Mementotlan Angwitch, Ghattic, Akihiron, Mementotlan Fusion or K9-66a Jokul) into a Fusion or Xyz beater, keeping Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for the first opposing response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Infinite Impermanence x2) and Forbidden Droplet to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through searchers and GY recursion
• Recovery: Mementotlan Ghattic and Mementotlan Akihiron recover Memento cards from the GY; Mementotlan Bone Party and Goblin Biker Grand Entrance rebuild the hand; Mementotlan Shleepy and Mementotlan Fusion add Extra Deck access
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan in this list

Why it scores here

The list reliably opens a functional starter most of the time. Fifteen searcher-text cards give P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.89, so the first search is usually available, though no full-copy starter is drawn often (a 3-copy starter is about 0.31 in hand). Interaction is the deck's strongest area: 4 hand traps, Harpie's Feather Duster, Crossout Designator, Forbidden Droplet and 24 removal-text cards give layered answers to the opponent's board, and the two Ash Blossoms give redundancy. Conversion is credible on paper, with 3000-2800 ATK Extra Deck beaters, but no recorded boards exist, so ceiling and median are text-based inference only and are scored separately rather than averaged. The score comes from consistency, interaction and resource recovery on the whole system; the archetype label 'K9' is not what earned points, since only 10 of 59 cards are exact-name K9 and 22 are Memento, and popularity earned nothing. The 0-card Side Deck and the Memento/K9 engine split pull the score down, and the lack of meta data keeps Meta Power provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57.5, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: No side deck (-2); Banlist exposure (-1); Engine conflict (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• Layered interaction: 4 hand traps, Harpie's Feather Duster, Crossout Designator and Forbidden Droplet
• Dense searcher text (15 cards) gives a high chance of a first search
• Extra Deck beaters with high ATK (2800-3000) and multiple summon routes
• Strong GY recursion from Ghattic, Akihiron, Bone Party and Grand Entrance

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low archetype purity (16.9% exact K9) with an engine split between Memento and K9
• Heavy copy-limit exposure: five Limited cards run at 1 copy and Jokul is one of the key Extra enablers
• Hard to pilot: several Extra Deck summon routes and multi-step Memento chains per turn

Critical choke points

• Single copies of Mementomictlan Tecuhtlica - Creation King enablers; losing the Memento monster base shuts down Fusion access
• Single copy of Harpie's Feather Duster and Crossout Designator for field-wide and card-specific answers
• Opening hand with no searcher or starter (about 0.11 chance per hand with a single-copy starter)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 44 cards and Extra deck 15 cards, within OCG size rules; All restricted cards run within legal copy limits (Limited at 1, Semi-Limited at 2); 0 side cards; Composition: 5 Fusion, 8 Xyz, 2 Link in Extra; 16 Spells and 3 Traps in main
• Observed: Usage statistics: K9 core present 8 of 15 (53.3%)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter access and searcher probability; Interaction layering from card text; Consistency and brick risk; Going-second hand-trap coverage (about 0.46)
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability inputs for post-side and matchup variance
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second and brick/starter rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null, so deck identity rests on the archetype label and card list
