Familiar-Possessed Deck #771336 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link boss monsters (Charmers of the Grand Circle, Magistus Chorozo, Dark Magician of Destruction, Arms of Genex Return Zero) reached through Spellbook and Charmer searchers; Diabellstar the Black Witch (ATK 2500) and Fiendsmith's Lacrima (ATK 2400) as extenders and boss monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening hand needs one searcher (Spellbook of Knowledge, Spirit Charmers, Spellbook of Secrets or Deception of the Sinful Spoils) plus a Normal Summonable starter, then a Fusion or Link to pressure. Probability of at least one 3-copy searcher-line card in the 5-card hand is about 0.34, so the T1 plan is inconsistent (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with Ash Blossom or Maxx C to disrupt the opponent's draws and summons, then a Fusion through Spellbook of the Grand Circle or Charmers of the Grand Circle. The hand-trap group is about 0.39 to be present in the 6-card hand (Inferred).
• Recovery: Recover through Spellbook of Knowledge's draw, Lacrima or Lurrie GY revival, and Fiendsmith's Tract or Engraver from the Deck. Recovery relies on GY-revival cards that are mostly single copies.
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has an empty side deck, so there is no post-side plan (Verified).

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal in OCG: four Forbidden cards (Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Azamina Ilia Silvia, D/D/D Wave High King Caesar) are run at one copy each against a legal limit of zero, so the structural score is shown for reference and the final score is capped at 30 as a theoretical read. The engine is spread over about 15 sub-archetypes (Spellbook, Charmer, Sinful Spoils, Fiendsmith, Spiritual Art, Possessed and others), with an exact-name archetype purity of 1.8%, which costs consistency and conversion. The searcher density (22 search-text cards, about 0.99 chance of at least one in the opening hand) keeps the deck from bricking on search, but the starters are mostly 3-copy cards with about 0.34 opening-hand odds. Popularity and the usage stats for the Familiar-Possessed core were not used as points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score. The side deck is empty, so there is no post-side plan and the Side-Deck score is low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*48 + 0.20*40 = 46.4; modifiers -12 gives 34.4; Illegal-list cap applied to 30 (theoretical only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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 package (22 search-text cards) keeps the opening hand from bricking on search
• Good closing bosses (ATK 2500 to 3100) once a Fusion or Link lands
• Recursion through Lacrima, Lurrie and Engraver regenerates resources

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: four Forbidden cards run at one copy each
• Engine split across about 15 sub-archetypes with 1.8% exact-name purity
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan
• Low redundancy: most starters are single or triple copies with specific partners

Critical choke points

• Each Fusion or Link boss needs a specific pair of materials from a single engine route
• Spellbook of the Grand Circle and Charmers of the Grand Circle carry the early plan with 3 copies or fewer each

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal: four Forbidden cards run at one copy each (legal copies 0); Main 40 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; Side is 0 (within the 0 to 15 range); Exact-name archetype purity is 1.8%; Side deck is empty
• Inferred: Starter odds are about 0.34 for 3-copy cards in the opening hand; Searcher odds are about 0.99 for at least one searcher in the opening hand; Going-second hand-trap odds are about 0.39; Consistency and brick claims are hypergeometric estimates from the main deck only
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link is supplied
• 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 for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or starter rates Side deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
