Fabled Deck #771300 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 13 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck link and fusion boss beats (Luce the Dusk's Dark, Fiendsmith's Desirae, A Bao A Qu, Underworld Goddess) once a Fiendsmith or Infernity starter opens the board; Infernity recursion from the GY via Infernity Launcher, Infernity Patriarch and Infernity Necromancer
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Special Summon a starter (Infernity Archfiend, Fabled Lurrie discard, This Creepy Little Punk) and build toward a Link or Fusion boss, holding Infernity Barrier or Solemn cards for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched) and Solemn Judgment or Strike to slow the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and Archfiend Heiress searches
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on opponent summons, Archfiend Heiress and Unchained Soul searches refill, and Infernity monsters return from the GY
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The deck's reliable opening is weak: its starters are spread across Fiendsmith, Infernity, Archfiend and Mulcharmy, so the 3-copy and 1-copy starters each have about a 27% (3-copy) or 10% (1-copy) chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand, and a searcher is live about 71% of the time (Inferred). The interaction suite is the deck's strongest part, with four hand traps, about ten negation cards and roughly seventeen removal-text cards, which earns D7 but is capped by the Limited-copy conflict. No combo data was supplied, so conversion and median output rest on text-only reading and were scored conservatively. The deck has no side deck and no tournament or meta sample, so post-side and matchup dimensions are low and provisional. The score is capped as theoretical because two cards run three copies against a one-copy OCG limit. The score comes from consistency, interaction and the Extra Deck on the system, not from averaging the card scores or from the Fabled archetype label.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: copy-limit violation (-8); banlist exposure (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 42.2, then context modifiers -12 and capped as theoretical-only because the deck is Illegal = 30

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.71 · 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

• Layered interaction: four hand traps, about ten negation cards and roughly seventeen removal-text cards
• Extra Deck link coverage (10 Link monsters) gives several boss routes
• Searcher density (11) keeps the engine findable more often than a pure starter build

Weaknesses

• Copy-limit violation on two Fiendsmith cards makes the list illegal as built
• Three starter archetypes compete for the same hand, so the deck is less coherent than the Fabled header suggests
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Several conditional summons require an empty hand, which reduces hand quality

Critical choke points

• Fiendsmith Engraver and Fiendsmith's Tract are both over the limit; a legal build must cut two copies each
• Infernity effects need an empty hand, so opening with a full hand loses the engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality violations: Fiendsmith Engraver and Fiendsmith's Tract at 3 copies vs a 1-copy OCG limit; Deck size 52 main / 13 extra / 0 side; Card text for the listed cards, including hand-trap and negation text; Usage statistics show 5 of 8 core cards present
• Inferred: Starter and searcher probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Interaction density read from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates; Consistency and brick-rate estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; matchup fit (D13) is provisional with no dated meta sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup or brick rates No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be scored Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
