Kashtira Deck #770855 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Control
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun, Fusion/Synchro/Xyz mechanics
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira and Psychic boss monsters (Kashtira Unicorn, Kashtira Ogre, Psychic End Punisher, Psychic Blaster Mk-II, Absolute Axon Kicker) converting a board stabilised by hand traps and negations; Fusion/Synchro pressure through Axon Kicker and P.U.N.K. JAM variants after Teleport and Fusion lines
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Kashtira or Psychic starter, use Kashtira Birth or Psychic Processor to fill the board, and hold Ash Blossom / Ghost Belle-type responses. Kashtira Fenrir cannot be part of this plan as printed because it is Forbidden.
• Turn 2 (going second): Respond to the opponent's first summon or Spell with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Infinite Impermanence), then rebuild through Kashtira Ogre or Unicorn when the list is legal.
• Recovery: Recur Kashtira monsters from GY and banishment through Kashtira Birth and Kashtira Preparations; Psychic Processor and Hushed Psychic Minister provide late-game bodies.
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan in the evidence. This is a major gap.

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from the system, not from averaging its cards. Its strongest features are layered interaction: 14 hand traps and about 11 negation outlets, plus a Psychic removal and banish suite, give it durable answers against an opposing turn. Its finishers (Psychic End Punisher, Psychic Blaster Mk-II, Absolute Axon Kicker, Kashtira Unicorn) give it closing power that is above average for the format. Its weaknesses are the illegal list, which blocks a normal Final score, and the fact that Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden, which removes one of the archetype's main starters. Archetype popularity earned no points, and the 14.3% exact-name purity shows the deck is a Kashtira-Psychic hybrid whose engine coherence is only partial. No combos or boards were supplied, so the floor and median are text-based inferences.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Banlist exposure: Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir in the core engine (-8); Copy-limit overage on Ash Blossom, Super Polymerization and Kashtira Unicorn (-4). Final formula: Theoretical: 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 54.4; modifiers -12 gives 42.4; Illegal-list cap sets the final score to 30 (theoretical/structural only, no normal Final score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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

• Layered hand-trap and negation coverage (14 hand traps, 11 negation outlets)
• Strong boss monsters with high ATK and an effect-based end-board (Psychic End Punisher, Psychic Blaster Mk-II, Absolute Axon Kicker)
• Full Extra Deck with Synchro, Fusion, Xyz and Link coverage

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Forbidden Fenrir plus three over-limit restricted cards
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Low archetype purity (14.3%); many off-archetype Psychic and tech cards dilute the Kashtira engine
• No combo boards to measure floor or median output

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Fenrir is Forbidden, so the main Kashtira starter path is broken
• Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed their legal copies, which must be fixed before the list can be played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Fenrir Forbidden; Unicorn Limited; Ash and Super Polymerization Semi-Limited with over-limit copies; Extra Deck composition (9 Synchro, 3 Fusion, 2 Xyz, 1 Link); Archetype usage: Ash Blossom 84.6%, Mulcharmy 69.2%, Fenrir 65.4%, Unicorn 53.8%, Infinite Impermanence 51.9% inclusion
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.81 (hypergeometric, core group); Hand-trap coverage and negation density (about 14 hand traps, 11 negation outlets); Going-second hand-trap P(>=1 in 6) about 0.84; Brick and dead-card risk from 25 non-monster slots and many single-copy tech cards; Closing power from boss ATK values (Verified stat, Inferred read)
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Matchup profile (no matchup results)
• Data gaps: Illegal list: no normal Final score is possible until the list is legal No combos or boards supplied; floor, median and ceiling are text-based inferences No side deck (side_count 0), so no post-side evidence No tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN; going-first, going-second and matchup rates are unknown Deck title is null Usage stats show 5 of 10 Kashtira core cards missing (Super Starslayer TY-PHON, S:P Little Knight, Harpie's Feather Duster, I:P Masquerena, Droll & Lock Bird)
