Spellbook Deck #771085 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Control
• 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: Spellbook engine (searcher-driven spell chain) feeding Spellcaster boards, with Blue-Eyes / Synchro / Xyz bodies as the closers; Synchro and Xyz beatdown from the Extra Deck (Azure-Eyes, Black Rose, Ancient Sacred Wyvern, Armored Kappa)
• Turn 1 (going first): Spellbook searchers and Magician of Prophecy to find a Spellcaster, then build a Synchro or Xyz board. Forbidden floodgates are not legal in this list.
• Turn 2 (going second): Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Heavy Storm, Torrential Tribute and Effect Veiler to disrupt the opponent's board, then rebuild through Spellbook recursion.
• Recovery: Spellbook of Fate, Spellbook of Eternity and Spellbook of Life recover spells or Spellcasters from the Graveyard, and The Grand Spellbook Tower adds one card per turn.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in the OCG format, so this score is theoretical and structural only: it is capped at 30 and not a normal contextual score. Three Forbidden cards (Vanity's Emptiness x2, Jowgen, Tempest Magician) and Maxx "C" at 3 copies against a limit of 1 must be removed before the list can be played. Structurally, the Spellbook searchers (about 78% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred) give reasonable engine access, and the Solemn, Heavy Storm and Torrential Tribute suite gives real interaction. The weakness is that 42 of 55 main cards are spells or traps, with only 13 monsters, so brick risk is high and the Spellcaster dependency is unmet in many hands. No side deck and no recorded boards mean floor, median, post-side and matchup claims are Provisional. The score is built from the system's consistency, interaction and Extra Deck coverage, not from averaging card scores or from Spellbook's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Control secondary (disclosed; not applied as a numeric blend). Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-4). Final formula: Structural(50.7) and TR=35: 0.80*50.7 + 0.20*35 = 47.6, plus modifiers -12 = 35.6; Illegal cap applied = min(35.6, 30) = 30. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · 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

• Dense searcher text (14 cards) gives high starter access
• Layered interaction: Solemn x2, Heavy Storm, Torrential Tribute, MST, Maxx "C", Effect Veiler
• Varied Extra Deck with Synchro and Xyz end-board threats

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden cards and Maxx "C" over copy limit
• Monster-light main deck (13 monsters across 55 cards) causes brick risk
• No side deck and no recorded boards, so post-side and combo claims are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• A Spellcaster on the field is needed for most Spellbook engine lines
• Forbidden floodgates are unplayable in this format, so the lines they support are not available

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality violations: Maxx "C" 3 vs 1; Vanity's Emptiness 2 vs 0; Jowgen 1 vs 0; Tempest Magician 1 vs 0; Composition: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; 42 spell/trap cards and 13 monsters; Extra Deck breakdown: 8 Synchro, 7 Xyz; Card stats and text for listed cards
• Inferred: Starter access ~0.78 from the searcher group (hypergeometric); Brick risk from the spell-heavy composition; Interaction density from card text (negation and removal hints); Going-first and going-second structural estimates
• Provisional: Meta power (null; no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability and matchup fit (no tournament link); Median output (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate no side deck supplied deck title is null
