Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Ritual Summon Evigishki Neremanas or Gishki Zielgigas (3000 and 3200 ATK) using Gishki Aquamirror, fed by the Gishki search chain; Xyz and Link bosses (Gustav Max, Juggernaut Liebe, Worldsea Dragon Zealantis) once the board is established
  • Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 search with Gishki Shadow, Vision or Abyss, then Aquamirror into a Ritual boss (Inferred from card text)
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use Gishki Grimness or Shadow as Tribute fodder for a Ritual boss through the Ritual Spell (Inferred from card text)
  • Recovery: Aquamirror is shuffled back from the GY to re-Ritual, and Neremanas can Special Summon a WATER monster from the GY (card text; Inferred for sequencing)
  • After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck's starter density is high: the archetype core is almost always opened (P at least one core card in 5 is about 0.98) and the searcher text group is about 0.95. Its ritual bosses and Xyz/Link finishers give real closing power. Its floor is weak: there are no hand traps, interaction is thin, and the Extra Deck has several forbidden cards. The score comes from consistency and median output on the system, not from Gishki's popularity or from averaging card scores. Because the list is illegal, the Final is capped at 22 and labelled theoretical only.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 62 P(at least one Gishki Shadow in 5) is about 0.34 for each copy group, core archetype group about 0.98 (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 55 17 searcher-text cards and redundant Gishki search reduce bricks; Monster Reborn and Ocean of Regeneration are narrower (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 60 Ritual bosses Neremanas and Zielgigas plus Aquamirror give a high ceiling; no recorded boards exist (Inferred from card text)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 42 Median output is unknown because no combos were supplied; ritual dependence lowers the floor (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 35 No hand traps and no Ash Blossom-type protection in the list; one interruption ends the line (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 62 Multiple GY recursion routes (Aquamirror, Neremanas) and searchers give strong grind (Inferred from card text)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 40 Only negation-text Neremanas and Forbidden Varudras offer interaction; Triple Tactics is forbidden (Verified for legality, Inferred for density)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 35 Going-second board breaking depends on Ritual bosses with no hand traps and no recorded going-second split (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 65 Bosses reach 3000 to 4000 ATK and Xyz/Link finishers exist; Gustav Max is over the copy limit (Verified stats, Inferred closing)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 45 Archetype purity is 36 percent exact name and 19 generic cards pad the main; tech slots are forbidden (Verified composition)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 45 Extra Deck has 15 cards including forbidden Saryuja, Cross-Sheep, Varudras and over-limit Gustav Max (Verified legality)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 10 No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side adaptability (Verified)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 40 No tournament link or dated meta sample; format fit stays Provisional (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 55 Multi-step Ritual chains with GY recursion are moderately demanding for a pilot (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 48.9, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 35, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical structural only. Pre-cap 0.80*48.9 + 0.20*42 = 47.5, modifiers applied, then capped at 22. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

  • Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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 Gishki searcher text (17 cards) makes the core almost always openable
  • Ritual bosses at 3000 to 3200 ATK with GY recursion routes
  • Xyz and Link finishers add closing power

Weaknesses

  • Illegal list: forbidden and over-limit cards must be removed before any real score applies
  • No hand traps and almost no protection, so one interruption ends the turn
  • Off-archetype padding (19 generic cards, 35 off-archetype copies) weakens engine coherence
  • No Side Deck

Critical choke points

  • Aquamirror is the single Ritual Spell, so losing it to disruption stops every Ritual boss
  • Ritual bosses depend on Gishki tributes present in hand
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Triple Tactics Talent, Saryuja Skull Dread, Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Cross-Sheep, Varudras Legal copies of Gishki Nekromirror or Gishki Photomirror and a legal interaction card The list is illegal; forbidden cards must go before any real power read
2 One copy each of Into the Void and Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max Legal-copy-limit replacements from the Gishki or core archetype Both are over their Limited copy limit
3 Off-archetype generic cards such as Ocean of Regeneration Hand trap or protection (Ash Blossom class) from the archetype core Raises interruption resilience, currently the weakest structural dimension

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Illegal status with 7 over-limit or forbidden entries; Main 40 and Extra 15 counts; Card text for Ritual bosses and searchers; Archetype core usage stats (Gishki Shadow, Abyss, Grimness at 100 percent)
  • Inferred: Hypergeometric starter access (0.34 per copy group, 0.98 core); Structural dimension scores from text and composition; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
  • Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated sample); Tournament reliability
  • Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second or matchups No Side Deck registered Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
