Black Luster Soldier Deck #771269 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Danger! monsters reveal-summoned from hand build a board of Danger! Level 7-8 beaters (Dogman, Bigfoot, Thunderbird) and Xyz/Link finishers; Extra Deck Xyz/Link finishers (Hope Harbinger Titanic Galaxy, Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord, Time Thief Redoer) once materials are on board
• Turn 1 (going first): Reveal a Danger! monster from hand to Special Summon a second Danger! monster and draw, then extend into a Xyz or Link using the Danger! board
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Nibiru, Droll and Lock Bird) to answer the opponent's first board, then reveal-summon Danger! monsters to rebuild
• Recovery: Danger! monsters recur through Monster Reincarnation and Back to the Front from the GY; Response Team and Second Expedition return to the Deck to draw
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The structural read comes from the system, not from averaging card scores: the 22 Danger! monster copies give a Danger! starter in the opening five about 0.91 of the time (Inferred, hypergeometric from the Main Deck), so the engine usually turns on. Interaction is real but thin: 10 hand-trap-tagged cards and 10 removal-text cards give a 0.69 chance of at least one hand trap in a six-card going-second hand (Inferred). The combo ceiling and median are both scored from text alone because no recorded boards exist, which holds D3 and D4 near 40. Popularity and archetype label earned no points: the archetype field reads Black Luster Soldier, but only 1 card is an exact-name match (1.4%) and 1 of 14 archetype-core cards is present, so the list is really a Danger! build. The deck is Illegal (3 copies of Allure of Darkness against a Limited limit of 1), so the score is capped at 25 and is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: copy_limit_violation (-8); no Side Deck (-4). Final formula: Structural-only: Final = min(0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers, 25) because status is Illegal; computed value about 39 before the cap (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

• Danger! reveal-summon engine is accessible in the opening hand (about 0.91)
• 10 hand-trap-tagged cards give going-second interaction
• Recursion and draw text give some recovery across turns

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count: Allure of Darkness at 3 copies vs a Limited limit of 1
• Archetype label does not match the list: 1.4% exact-name purity and 1 of 14 core cards present
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos or tournament data, so the ceiling and median are text-only

Critical choke points

• Danger! monster access in the opening hand: if hand is all non-Danger! cards, the reveal-summon engine stalls
• Extra Deck Xyz/Link finishers need material on board; there is no alternate finisher

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, Allure of Darkness 3 copies vs legal 1; Main 59 and Extra 15 are inside OCG size rules; Side 0 is legal; Archetype purity: 1 exact-name card, 1.4%; Usage: 1 of 14 core cards present (7.1%); Banlist statuses for Monster Reborn, Droll and Lock Bird, S:P Little Knight, Daigusto Emeral, Limited
• Inferred: Danger! starter access about 0.91 in the opening five; Hand-trap access 0.69 going second; Interaction and removal quality from card text; Structural scores and profile weights; Tournament reliability estimate
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame); Matchup and format fit D13
• 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 are absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck supplied, so post-side is unmeasured deck title is null archetype label Black Luster Soldier does not match the list composition
