Dark World Deck #770974 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 58/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dark World discard and graveyard recursion (Reign-Beaux, Genta, Snoww, Grapha) feeding Extra Deck bosses: Grapha Dragon Overlord 3200 ATK, Chaos Angel 3500 ATK, Number 38 Titanic Galaxy 3000 ATK, A Bao A Qu 2800 ATK; Reign-Beaux, Overlord of Dark World revived from the graveyard to destroy all monsters or all Spell/Traps the opponent controls (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Dark World starter (Genta, Snoww, Reign-Beaux or Dark Corridor) and use Dark Corridor or The Gates of Dark World to search for the next piece; hold Evenly Matched or Forbidden Droplet for the opponent's first attempt to build a board
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the discard-to-graveyard engine and the hand traps (Evenly Matched, Forbidden Droplet, Lightning Storm) to break the opponent's first board, then recover through graveyard summons and an Extra Deck boss
• Recovery: Graveyard recursion: Reign-Beaux and Grapha can be Special Summoned from the graveyard, and Dark World Accession can be added back from the graveyard
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no documented post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Dark World engine: the archetype-core group has P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.83, with 18 searcher-text cards and 3 copies each of Reign-Beaux, Genta, Snoww and The Gates of Dark World. It converts that engine into pressure through a graveyard recursion chain and an Extra Deck with several 2800–3500 ATK bosses, and its six negation-text cards plus Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster give it breadth of interaction. Its weaknesses are a ~17% no-core proxy-brick rate, a dead-card burden from Lava Golem (it needs two opponent monsters to tribute), and a diluted main deck (only 33% exact-name Dark World copies, with Danger!, Kaiju and Forbidden cards). The empty side deck caps its post-side score and tournament reliability. No combo boards, tournament link or meta share were supplied, so the floor and median are inferred from card text and popularity earned no points; the score comes from consistency, graveyard resource economy and interaction on the system, not from averaging the cards' individual scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 61, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Dead-card burden (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; D13 dropped and weights renormalised over 95)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.17 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Consistent archetype core with 18 searcher-text cards
• Strong graveyard recursion and resource grind
• Layered interaction: negations, hand traps and Lightning Storm
• Multiple high-ATK Extra Deck bosses

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Off-archetype splash dilutes engine coherence (33% exact-name purity)
• Lava Golem is a dead card without opponent monsters
• About 17% proxy brick rate on the opening hand

Critical choke points

• Graveyard recursion depends on a Dark World monster in the graveyard
• Lava Golem and Zalamander Catalyzer are conditional and need specific board states

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within the OCG size rules (40–60 / 0–15 / 0–15); All five Limited cards run at their legal limit of 1 copy; Card text and stats for the 30 main and 14 extra distinct cards
• Inferred: Archetype-core starter probability ≈ 0.83 (hypergeometric); Graveyard recursion and grind value; Interaction density from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (D13) — no dated meta sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No sideboard, so post-side performance is unmeasurable No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
