Runick (Mysterune) Deck #770767 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 11 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Runick Quick-Play spell chains that negate or destroy opposing cards and Special Summon Runick Fusion monsters from the Extra Deck to the Extra Monster Zone; Fusion boss pressure from Geri, Freki, Hugin and Sleipnir the Runick Mane, plus floodgates (Majesty's Fiend, Vanity's Fiend, Skill Drain, Grave of the Super Ancient Organism) to lock the opponent
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Runick Quick-Play spell that Special Summons a Runick Fusion monster from the Extra Deck, then extend with Runick Tip or Runick Flashing Fire (text-only read, Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Runick Freezing Curses, Runick Slumber or Runick Destruction as interaction on the opponent's turn, then convert into a Fusion boss (Inferred)
• Recovery: Runick Fountain and Runick Tip return or search Runick spells from the Graveyard and Deck, and Card Scanner and Pot of Duality provide card flow (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The score reflects the deck as a system, not an average of its card scores. Runick access is strong on paper: the 21-copy archetype core has a hypergeometric P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.94, and 12 Quick-Play starters each carry a 3-copy 0.27 opening-hand chance, so the engine is reliably reachable (Inferred). Interaction is dense (28 removal-text and 9 negation-text cards), and the Fusion bosses give a real pressure route. However, the list is Illegal under OCG: three copies of Mirage of Nightmare (Forbidden) and three copies of Runick Fountain (Limited, 1 legal) break the banlist, so the result is structural-only and capped at 30. No combos were supplied, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference. Popularity in the archetype (the core is in 89% of the reference lists) was not credited as power.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); No side deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*56 + 0.20*45 ≈ 54; modifiers −12 give 42; Illegal cap sets the final score to 30 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · 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

• Runick archetype core is highly reachable (archetype core group P(≥1 in 5) ≈ 0.94)
• Dense removal and negation text across Quick-Play spells
• Fusion bosses at three copies give repeatable Extra Deck access

Weaknesses

• Illegal under OCG: Mirage of Nightmare (3 Forbidden) and Runick Fountain (3 vs 1 Limited)
• No Side Deck
• 62 off-archetype copies lower engine coherence
• Quick-Play spells need a Fusion on the field to convert, so hands can be dead

Critical choke points

• Runick Fusion monsters in the Extra Deck are the only conversion route
• Only 9 searcher-text cards to find the right spell

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Mirage of Nightmare 3 copies (Forbidden) and Runick Fountain 3 copies (Limited, 1 legal); Main 51 / Extra 11 / Side 0 against OCG size rules; Type, race and attribute composition; Card text for Runick Quick-Play spells and Fusion bosses
• Observed: Archetype core usage: Runick Flashing Fire 100%, Runick Freezing Curses 100%, Runick Tip 92%, Runick Destruction 92%
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter consistency from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from card-text hints; Going-first and going-second plans from text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No Side Deck: post-side plan cannot be assessed No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
