Blackwings Deck #771270 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, 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 (Bigfoot, Thunderbird, Dogman) and Xyz/Link boards (Number S38, Number 90, Dark Rebellion) convert board presence into attacks; no recorded win line exists.; Number 38 / Number S38 chain and Number 11 control steal, all text-only (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Danger! monster plus a second hand card, reveal it to Special Summon and draw, then build toward a Link or Xyz board; hold Effect Veiler / Droll for the opponent's first summon.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird and Number 90/38 negations for the opponent's turn, then rebuild with Danger! revival and draw effects.
• Recovery: Danger! monsters and Second Expedition / Response Team recycle from the GY, and Monster Reincarnation / Wee Witch's Apprentice recover a monster from the GY.
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored on its system, not on its cards. Its Danger! core (22 monsters, most with hand-reveal Special Summon plus draw) gives a real chance of a live engine, but the summon needs a second card in hand, so the single-card opening is weaker than the raw count suggests. Interaction is the strongest area: hand traps and negations (Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird, Number 90, Number 38) give a credible going-second plan. Conversion, median output and closing power cannot be measured because no boards are recorded, so those scores rest on card text (Inferred). The archetype label (Blackwings) earned no points: only one Blackwing card and none of the nine usage-stat core cards are present. The deck is also illegal by a copy-limit violation (Allure of Darkness x3, limit 1), so the final score is capped at 30 and the result is structural/theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (copy limit) (-6). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*56 + 0.20*50 = 54.8; modifiers -6 gives 48.8; Illegal cap (copy-limit violation) sets final to 30. Theoretical/structural-only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.62 · 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! monsters (22 copies) give a high chance of a second-card summon with a draw.
• Ten hand-trap-flagged cards and several negation bosses give strong going-second interaction.
• Extra Deck is full with flexible Xyz and Link extenders.

Weaknesses

• Illegal as listed: Allure of Darkness x3 exceeds the limit of 1.
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan.
• The Blackwings label has no core support: 0 of 9 usage-core cards are present.
• A lone Danger! in hand cannot summon itself, so the opening is more fragile than the count suggests.

Critical choke points

• Opening needs a second card alongside a Danger! monster to start the engine.
• Allure of Darkness copy count must be fixed before the list is playable.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Allure of Darkness runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 1 (Limited).; Main 59, Extra 15, Side 0; main and extra sizes are legal.; Usage-core presence is 0 of 9 Blackwing core cards.; P(≥1 hand trap in going-second 6) ≈ 0.69.
• Inferred: P(≥1 Danger! in opening 5) ≈ 0.91 and P(≥2) ≈ 0.62.; Interaction density is strong, based on card text.; Conversion and median output are unmeasured; scores rest on text only.
• Provisional: D13 matchup and format fit is provisional without a dated meta sample.; Meta Power is null.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent. No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred. Meta Power is provisional without a dated sample.
