Kashtira Deck #770241 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira Fenrir and Kashtira Unicorn beatdown backed by Fire King and Mulcharmy boards (Inferred from card text; no combo evidence); Link and Xyz pressure from Promethean Princess, Garunix Eternity and Salamangreat Raging Phoenix (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Kashtira starters and Ash Blossom / Solemn interaction, then convert with a Kashtira beater (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru) to stop the first summon, then Fire King or Mulcharmy follow-up (Inferred)
• Recovery: Fire King and Kashtira searchers (Legendary Fire King Ponix, Kashtiratheosis, Kashtira Birth) to rebuild from the GY and Deck (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal for OCG: seven copy-limit violations include three Forbidden cards (Kashtira Fenrir x3, Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent) and several Limited or Semi-Limited cards run above their allowed copies, so the score is capped and reflects structural read only. Structurally, the 63% chance of at least one of the ten Kashtira core cards in a going-first five-card hand suggests a reasonably accessible engine, and the 14 hand traps give it interaction density on the going-second turn. Its weaknesses are a split identity across Kashtira, Fire King, Mulcharmy and Charmer sub-archetypes (exact Kashtira purity 11.1%) and the absence of any recorded boards or Side Deck, so the floor and median output cannot be measured. The score was built from consistency, interaction and resilience on the system, not from averaging card scores, and the archetype's popularity (its guide and top-tier reputation) earned no points on its own.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Control secondary (structural weights used as Midrange profile). Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: 0.80*51 + 0.20*40 = 48.8, minus the 12-point banlist modifier = 36.8; the Illegal cap sets the final score to 20 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.63 · 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

• Accessible engine: core Kashtira cards appear in about 63% of going-first opening hands
• Dense interaction: 14 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards
• Redundant searchers (16) for continuity after interruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: seven copy-limit violations, including three Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir
• Diffuse identity: only 8 exact Kashtira copies, the rest spread across Fire King, Mulcharmy and other sub-archetypes
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded boards, so the combo floor, median and ceiling cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden and runs three copies; without it the main engine loses its primary beater
• Ash Blossom and Solemn Judgment copy limits make the interaction package illegal as built

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 7 copy-limit violations and 3 Forbidden cards in the Main Deck; Main Deck 57 cards, Extra Deck 15, Side 0, all within OCG size rules; Kashtira is 8 exact copies and 11.1% exact-name purity; Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden in the OCG banlist field
• Observed: Guide 387 (Kashtira Control build) exists and calls Kashtira a top-tier archetype (guide text, not a result)
• Inferred: P(at least one core in going-first five) ≈ 0.63 from hypergeometric estimate; Interaction density is high from hand-trap and negation text counts; Going-second plan is a hand-trap-then-follow-up pattern from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability are not measured
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate or brick telemetry in YGOVN for this deck No Side Deck supplied, so post-side plan cannot be scored Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null in the export
