Legality
Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Darklord Fusion and Link boards (The First Darklord, Darklord Eveningstar, Darklord Morningstar, Darklord Ixchel, Vidolium) (Inferred); Pendulum and Power Patron pressure from Vidolium and Purification Power Patron (Inferred)
- Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Darklord starter (Djehuty, Gulgolet, Ixchel or Banishment), search or summon a second Darklord, then extend into a Fusion or Link board (Inferred)
- Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand for a hand trap or Ash Blossom to stop the opponent's first summon, then continue into Darklord Fusion lines (Inferred)
- Recovery: Recur Darklord monsters with Darklord Contact, Darklord Rebellion and Ixchel from the Graveyard, and rebuild from the Deck via Gulgolet and Ukoback (Inferred)
- After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists
Why it scores here
The Darklord core is dense: 17 archetype copies give roughly a 95% chance of at least one in an opening five, and the three 3-of starters (Djehuty, Gulgolet, Ixchel) each show about a 34% chance of appearing in a going-first hand (Inferred). Interaction is well covered by 8 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards plus 13 removal-text cards, which supports interruption resilience and end-board quality on the system. The deck converts into strong closers (The First Darklord at 4000 ATK, Eveningstar and Morningstar at 3000, Vidolium at 5000) but there are no recorded boards, so ceiling and median output are text-only estimates and score low confidence. The score is capped at 30 because Archlord Kristya is Forbidden with one copy run, so the list is illegal and the result is theoretical/structural only. Popularity (Darklord usage in the archetype stats) did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 62 | P(at least one archetype core in opening 5) ≈ 0.95; each 3-of starter ≈ 0.34 going first (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 55 | 16 single-copy slots, several situational (Crossout Designator, Foolish Burial, Droll, Maxx C, Forbidden Crown); 8 hand traps reduce dead draws (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 45 | No parseable recorded boards; ceiling read from card text only, Fusion and Link chains exist but are unverified (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No combo records, so median output is unmeasured and a neutral estimate is used (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 58 | Negation and hand-trap density plus Darklord recursion give alternate lines after disruption (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 60 | Recursion via Contact, Rebellion, Ixchel and Gulgolet, plus Banishment searches (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 65 | 13 removal-text and 11 negation-text cards, with Ash Blossom, Impermanence and Dominus Impulse for layering (Inferred) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 60 | Hand traps give about 76% chance of one in a going-second six-card hand; Dominus Impulse and Crossout cover boards (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 65 | Multiple 3000+ ATK closers (First Darklord 4000, Vidolium 5000, Eveningstar and Morningstar 3000) (Verified stat, Inferred conversion) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 50 | Exact archetype purity is only 45.5%; 30 off-archetype copies including generic staples and Dominus/Herald cards (Verified) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 55 | 15 Extra Deck slots spread across Darklord fusions and links plus off-theme Fusion/Link monsters (Verified composition, Inferred flexibility) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | No Side Deck, so post-side adaptability cannot be scored beyond the baseline (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 40 | No tournament link or dated meta sample; archetype core presence 66.7% only (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 40 | Multi-step Fusion, Link and Pendulum sequencing with many decision points; complexity is high (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: normal formula 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + modifiers(-12) ≈ 39, then capped at 30 for the Forbidden-card violation; theoretical/structural-only
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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 archetype core (17 copies) with high opening access
- Eight hand traps plus 11 negation-text cards give layered interaction
- Multiple 3000+ ATK closers in the Extra Deck
Weaknesses
- Forbidden card (Archlord Kristya) makes the list illegal
- Only 45.5% exact archetype purity; off-theme slots weaken the engine
- No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
- No recorded boards to verify combo conversion
Critical choke points
- Single-copy starters and staples (Crossout Designator, Foolish Burial, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C) are one-of and can be dead draws
- Fusion and Link summons depend on a small set of Extra Deck materials
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Archlord Kristya | a legal Darklord or Darklord-support card within the copy limit | Removes the Forbidden card, which is the only violation, so the list becomes legal and eligible for a normal score |
| 2 | Dominus Spark or Dominus Impulse | an additional Darklord starter or Darklord Fusion support | Raises exact archetype purity and engine coherence |
| 3 | Maxx C | a Side Deck of 15 cards | Adds post-side adaptability, which is currently zero |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 matches size rules; Archlord Kristya is Forbidden with one copy run; Archetype purity 45.5% and archetype core 17 copies; Hypergeometric probabilities from the Main Deck
- Observed: Usage stats: 10 of 15 core cards present (66.7%)
- Inferred: Starter access and brick estimates from hypergeometric draws; Interaction layering from text role hints; Pendulum and Fusion conversion from card text
- Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample or tournament link)
- 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; going-first/second and matchup rates unknown Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck; post-side evaluation impossible
