Bystial/Byssted Deck #770624 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz and Link boss monsters (K9-X Werewolf, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Caesar Valius, K9-66X Jacks) reached through Vanquish Soul and K9 search and special-summon lines; Bystial Druiswurm and Bystial Magnamhut banish-and-summon pressure from hand
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Vanquish Soul or K9 monsters, Normal Summon a 2-card Vanquish Soul or K9 bootstrap, and convert into a Level 5 Xyz; hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird) are held up against the opponent's first engine.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Solemn Strike and Solemn Judgment for the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and the Vanquish Soul hand-revealing special summons.
• Recovery: Mulcharmy monsters draw when the field is empty, and Vanquish Soul, Start! and the Vanquish Soul Heavy Borger / Caesar Valius recursion replace lost board presence; no quantified recovery rate is available.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan in this list; a best-of-3 list would need one.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: three cards exceed their copy limits (Ash Blossom at 3 vs 2, Vanquish Soul Razen at 3 vs 1, K9-17 Izuna at 3 vs 2), so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read capped at 20 and is not a normal Final Contextual score. Structurally the deck is a three-archetype Midrange build (Vanquish Soul, K9, Mulcharmy) that searches heavily (19 searcher-text cards, about 0.89 chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5) and carries 7 hand traps plus Solemn and Droll interaction, which earns the interaction and resilience dimensions. Consistency is held back because the archetype core is only about 0.39 likely in an opening 5, the deck is spread over 29 distinct main-deck cards with 70 off-exact-archetype copies, and Dimensional Fissure conflicts with the deck's own Xyz and graveyard lines. No combo, guide or tournament data exists, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference, and the card power scores were not averaged into this result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Legality cap (Illegal) (-29); Dimensional Fissure engine conflict (0). Final formula: Theoretical structural-only read for an Illegal list: Structural 51 and Tournament Reliability 42 give 0.80*51 + 0.20*42 = 49 before the legality cap; the final is capped at 20. Meta Power is null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Heavy search density (19 searcher-text cards)
• Multiple hand traps and Solemn-style interaction in the 6-card going-second hand
• Several 2900 to 3300 ATK Xyz and Link bosses that can close a board

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on three cards
• No side deck
• Three archetypes with thin core (5 copies of archetype core)
• Dimensional Fissure conflicts with the deck's own GY and Xyz lines

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Vanquish Soul Hollie Sue, Vanquish Soul Razen (over limit) and Bystial bosses are the only route to some lines
• Opening-hand dependence on a Level 5 bootstrap for K9 and Vanquish Soul

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, with three copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom 3 of 2, Vanquish Soul Razen 3 of 1, K9-17 Izuna 3 of 2); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the TCG size rules; side_count is 0; Card text and banlist status for each listed card; Archetype spread and role-tag counts from the composition block
• Observed: Usage: Ash Blossom and Bystial Magnamhut are core (100%) for this archetype; the list runs 42.9 percent of the 7 core cards
• Inferred: Hypergeometric draw estimates (searcher about 0.89, archetype core about 0.39, hand trap about 0.58 going second); Structural dimension scores and the Midrange profile; Interaction and resilience credit from text-only role hints; Dimensional Fissure conflict with GY and Xyz lines
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (D13): no dated metagame sample and no tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups, brick or starter rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck (side_count 0): post-side scoring is not possible
