Dark World Deck #771231 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 37/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dark World searcher-driven board of Reign-Beaux and Grapha monsters, closing through 2700-3000 ATK boss monsters and Extra Deck Link/Xyz/Fusion finishers; Clorless, Chaos King of Dark World fusion board wipe followed by attacks
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Dark World monsters through Dark Corridor, Genta and Snoww discard effects, then reach Reign-Beaux or Grapha; hold Infinite Impermanence and Artifact Lancea as interaction (Inferred, no recorded lines)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Artifact Lancea, Dominus Impulse) and Dark Ruler No More / Lightning Storm to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild through GY recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: GY recursion from Grapha, Sillva, Beiige and Ceruli special summons plus Dark World Accession; Dark Corridor and Snoww re-search (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered in this export, so no post-side plan can be evaluated.

Why it scores here

The deck scores on its system rather than on its cards: a searcher-heavy Dark World engine (13 searcher-text cards, P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.76) and an archetype core with P(at least one core card in hand) ≈ 0.83 give it a plausible starting point. Six hand traps and nine negation effects provide interaction, but 12 tech cards and 34 level-0 Spell/Trap slots dilute the engine and 27% exact-name purity weakens coherence. The deck has no recorded combos, no tournament link and no side deck, so median output, going-second strength and post-side adaptability are inferred from text only and are not credited beyond that. Popularity was not used as evidence, and card scores were not averaged. The final score is capped down because Dominus Impulse is over the OCG copy limit (3 copies, 2 legal), which makes the list illegal.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: illegal-deck-cap (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers(-12 illegal cap); theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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

• Searcher density (13 searcher-text cards) gives a high chance of finding an engine piece
• Layered interaction: 6 hand traps, 9 negation texts and 21 removal texts
• Boss monsters at 3000 ATK and a mixed Extra Deck give closing power
• Dark World recursion provides recovery after one interruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Dominus Impulse runs 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Low exact-archetype purity (27%) and 12 tech cards dilute the engine
• No side deck registered, so post-side adaptability is unverifiable
• No combo evidence, so the median and ceiling are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Legality: the list cannot be played in OCG until the Dominus Impulse count is fixed
• Engine depends on Dark World searches and summons, so a single discard-based interruption could slow the line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Dominus Impulse runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 2 (OCG Semi-Limited) and the deck is Illegal; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; Exact-name archetype purity is 27.1%; 13 searcher-text cards and 6 hand traps are present; No combos, tournament link, guides, or side deck are present
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in opening 5) ≈ 0.76 engine-access estimate; Going-second hand-trap plan and recursion lines are text-based inferences; Dimension scores D1-D11 and D14 are inferred from text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample is supplied; D13 matchup and format fit is provisional
• 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 side deck registered — post-side adaptability cannot be evaluated no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
