Mitsurugi Deck #769907 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ritual-summon Mitsurugi / Light and Darkness Ritual boss monsters (Ame no Murakumo, Black Luster Soldier, Magician of Dark Chaos) and convert with Extra Deck bosses (Chaos Angel, Psychic End Punisher, Underworld Goddess); Synchro/Link/Xyz boss monsters (Enigmaster Packbit, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Evilswarm Ophion) after a Ritual board is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Ritual Spell (Mitsurugi Ritual / Light and Darkness Ritual / Mitsurugi Mirror) and its Ritual Monster via Mitsurugi no Mikoto searchers, then Ritual Summon a boss; the 2-card bootstrap is only about 0.67 likely from the 11-copy archetype core (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Solemn and Maxx C to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Mitsurugi GY recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Mitsurugi monsters recur from GY via Tribute and search effects; Pot of Prosperity and Ragged Records refill the hand (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered; there is no post-side plan (Verified: side_count 0)

Why it scores here

This list is evaluated as a system, not an average of its cards: the Mitsurugi ritual engine (Mitsurugi Ritual, Mitsurugi Mirror, Ritual Monsters, and Mitsurugi searchers) is the core, supported by a Light and Darkness Ritual sub-engine and a seven-card hand-trap suite. Starter access is moderate: the 11-copy archetype core gives about a 67% chance of at least one core card in a five-card opening hand, and the 21 searcher-text cards make a searcher present in about 91% of opening hands, but the 57-card main deck carries 25 level-0 Spells and Traps and 60 off-archetype copies (16.7% exact-name purity), which raises brick risk. Interaction is the strongest part of the deck (negation text on 15 cards, two Ash Blossom, two Solemn Judgment-style answers, Maxx C, and Droll & Lock Bird), and the Extra Deck carries high-ATK closers. The list is illegal: three Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi and one Number 60: Dugares the Timeless are Forbidden in OCG, so the normal Final Contextual score is capped and the figure below is structural-only. Popularity did not earn points: the usage statistics show the list is real and mostly built on the archetype core (61.5% of core cards present), but that confirms accessibility rather than power, and no combo or win-rate data exists to lift the consistency or floor scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange 80 / Toolbox 20 (disclosed for the structural read; Toolbox weights not applied separately). Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(47) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(38) = 45.2 → modifiers (-12) → 33 → Illegal cap applied (theoretical/structural-only) → 25

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.67 · 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 on 15 negation-text cards and seven hand traps
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers (Murakumo 3200, Chaos Angel 3500, Psychic End Punisher 3500)
• Real archetype core: 61.5% of usage-core cards are present

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden Ame no Habakiri no Mitsurugi and one Forbidden Number 60
• Bloated 57-card main with 25 level-0 Spell/Trap slots and low exact-name purity (16.7%)
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• Ritual engine needs a two-card bootstrap, so brick risk is high

Critical choke points

• Mitsurugi Ritual / Mitsurugi Mirror plus a Ritual Monster in hand or GY
• Ritual Spells that require Tributing Reptile monsters or Level-matched GY banish
