Dark World Deck #770764 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Recursive Fiend beatsticks and Fusion/Link threats (Reign-Beaux, Grapha, Radian, Luce, Topologic Blaster) reached through Graveyard summons and discard-triggered searches; Overking/Overlord board wipes (Reign-Beaux Overlord, Clorless) and Danger! monster chains for card advantage
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Genta, Snoww, Dark Corridor, Danger! monsters) to put Dark World starters in hand, discard for Graveyard summons, and build a Fiend board or a Fusion/Link extension.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand-based Danger! monsters and Card Destruction or Dealings to disrupt the opponent's hand, then rebuild from the Graveyard. No hand traps are included, so the deck relies on its own summons to pressure.
• Recovery: Graveyard-based revival: Grapha, Reign-Beaux, Snoww, Sillva, Ceruli and Genta can all return from the Graveyard, and Dark World Accession can be re-added from the Graveyard.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan. The best-of-3 adaptation is undefined.

Why it scores here

The score comes from how the deck works as a system: its 18 archetype-core copies give roughly an 87% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and 16 searcher-text cards add to that. Once live, the deck converts through Graveyard recursion (Grapha, Reign-Beaux, Snoww, Sillva, Genta and Accession can all return), so a single disruption rarely ends the line. Its high-ATK Fiend and Fusion/Link threats (Reign-Beaux 3000, Topologic Blaster 3500, Luce 3500) and two board-wipe effects give it closing power and some endboard interaction. Scoring is held back by the lack of recorded boards (no combo ceiling or median can be measured), the absence of hand traps, the lack of any side deck, and only 40% exact-name archetype purity. Usage popularity was not counted as strength, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile, D13 dropped and renormalized (meta-neutral structural, 95-point base). Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Unobserved combo ceiling (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional): 0.80*60.2 + 0.20*52 - 2 ≈ 56.5 → 57

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.13 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Redundant searcher set (16 searcher-text cards) with three-copy starters
• Graveyard recursion across many Dark World monsters keeps the engine alive after interruption
• High-ATK closing threats across the Main and Extra Deck
• Compact core: 18 archetype cards at 3 copies

Weaknesses

• No hand traps; going-second interaction relies on Card Destruction, Dealings and Danger! discards
• No side deck at all, so the best-of-3 adaptation is undefined
• Only 40% exact-name archetype purity; much of the Main Deck is generic or off-archetype
• No recorded combo boards to validate ceiling or median

Critical choke points

• Reliance on the Dark World core being drawn or searched; the 13% proxy brick rate is an opening-hand risk
• Limited/1-copy cards (Card Destruction, Skill Drain, S:P Little Knight) are single points of failure if they are the only answer to a threat

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 are within size rules for OCG; All restricted cards (Card Destruction, S:P Little Knight, Skill Drain) are Limited and run at 1 copy; Core probabilities computed from the resolved list; Card stats and text read from the resolved list
• Observed: Core inclusion of 57% of the usage-stat cards is present in this deck
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency (~0.87 starter, ~0.125 proxy brick); Going-second disruption and interaction quality from text; Recursion resilience from text; Combo ceiling and floor from text only
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup/format fit (no dated metagame sample)
• 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, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no guides attached to the archetype (guides_evidence total_guides 0) no side deck registered (side_count 0)
