Relinquished Deck #771443 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a boss monster (Chimera the Illusion Beast, Guardian Chimera, Starving Venom, Millennium-Eyes Restrict) through Polymerization-family spells and Relinquished or Eyes Restrict equip lines; Relinquished control-swap lines through Black Illusion Ritual and Relinquished Fusion
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Normal Summon searcher (Gazelle, Nightmare Apprentice, Berfomet, Ghost Belle) into Chimera Fusion or a Polymerization-family spell; no combo steps are recorded, so this is text-based inference only
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Nibiru) to break the opponent's opening, then rebuild a Fusion board from the hand
• Recovery: Recover through Fusion-material searchers and GY-triggered effects (Mirage Mirror Force, Ifeeling Illusionist-family recursion, Chimera Fusion GY effect)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists; the deck is not playable best-of-three as built

Why it scores here

The deck was scored as a connected Fusion system: 18 searcher-text cards give about 89% odds of at least one searcher in a going-first five-card hand, and the 6 hand traps give about 54% odds of at least one going second, which supports a moderate structural read. Its consistency and brick management stay mid-range because the 52-card main has 22 singleton slots, 68 off-archetype copies and only 1.4% exact Relinquished-name purity, so the engine is spread across several sub-archetypes. Combo ceiling and floor are not measurable: no boards were recorded, so those scores are text-only inference. The deck is Illegal as submitted (Forbidden Albion at 1 copy, 17 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card OCG cap, and no Side Deck), so the Final score is capped at 25 and labeled theoretical/structural-only. Archetype usage data confirms the core cards are real and accessible, but popularity earned no points, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo primary with Toolbox secondary; the Combo profile is used as the base weight set. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); extra deck over limit (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*47 + 0.20*35 - 12 = 32.6, then capped at 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Searcher density (18 searcher-text cards) gives high odds of a searcher in the opening hand
• Six hand traps plus Maxx C and Ash Blossom give broad going-second interaction
• Chimera and Eyes Restrict boss monsters give real closing power when a board is built

Weaknesses

• Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and is run at 1 copy
• 17 Extra Deck cards exceed the 15-card OCG cap
• No Side Deck, so the deck cannot adapt in best-of-three
• Off-archetype spread (68 copies, 1.4% exact-name purity) weakens engine coherence
• 22 singleton slots make the opening hand and recovery less consistent

Critical choke points

• Legality: the Forbidden Albion and the Extra Deck overflow must be fixed before any play
• Polymerization-family spells (Polymerization, Super Polymerization, Branded Fusion) are the sole Fusion access, so losing them stalls the engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden and run at 1 copy (0 legal copies); Extra Deck count is 17 against an OCG maximum of 15; Main Deck is 52 cards and the Side Deck is 0; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are within their limits; Searcher-text count is 18 and the hand-trap count is 6
• Inferred: Going-first and going-second consistency estimates from the hypergeometric table; Interaction density and resilience read from card role tags and text; Going-first and going-second power are weighted reads of the dimensions
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample is supplied; Format fit (D13) is provisional on archetype share alone
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first, going-second and matchup rates are Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck is registered, so post-side adaptability is unmeasurable
