Charmer Deck #771616 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fire King Garunix and Garunix Eternity boards, with Jurrac and Link beats as secondary pressure (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards); Link and Synchro beatdown from Promethean Princess, Worldsea Dragon Zealantis and Jurrac Astero (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fire King starter such as Fire King High Avatar Kirin or Legendary Fire King Ponix, search through Fire King Courtier Ulcanix or Fire King Island, and hold Ash Blossom and Droll for the opponent's first activation (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll and Solemn Judgment to stop the first board, then rebuild through Fire King recursion and Garunix (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recur Fire King monsters from the GY through Kirin, Ponix and Garunix, then rebuild a Link or Xyz board (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This deck is Illegal: the Extra Deck is one card over the OCG maximum, Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden, and four Semi-Limited or Limited cards exceed their copy limits. Under Step 2 it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score, so the score is capped at 30 and labelled theoretical and structural-only. The structural read comes from the system: a Fire King engine with several 3-copy starters and searchers gives a moderate opening (P(at least one Kirin in a 5-card hand) is about 0.26, and P(at least one archetype-core card) is about 0.57), and five hand traps plus the Stun-style answers give it reasonable interaction density. Brick risk is high because 18 copies are generic or off-archetype, and the lack of recorded boards leaves the combo floor and median unknown. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype is labelled Charmer, but exact-name purity is 1.4%, so the score reflects the Fire King, Jurrac and Mulcharmy engine, and no card scores were averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51.1, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist and copy-limit exposure (-10); Off-archetype dilution (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical 0.80*Structural(51.1) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + modifiers(-12) = 37, capped to 30 under Step 2; Meta Power provisional and excluded

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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

• Five hand traps and several negation or removal effects (Ash Blossom, Droll, Solemn, Dominus Impulse) give strong early interaction
• Fire King starters and searchers (Kirin, Ulcanix, Ponix, Island) give a multi-copy engine
• High-ATK Xyz and Link finishers (Garunix, Garunix Eternity, Zealantis) give closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Extra Deck size and four copy-limit breaches plus one Forbidden card
• Off-archetype dilution: 69 of 70 archetype copies are not Charmer, so the engine coherence is unclear
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan and no best-of-3 adaptability
• No recorded boards and no guides, so the combo floor and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Starter access depends on a small set of 3-copy Fire King monsters; a single negated or destroyed starter may stop the line (Inferred)
• Extra Deck overflow and copy-limit breaches make the list unplayable in its current form until fixed

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 54, Extra 16, Side 0 against OCG size rules (Main 40-60, Extra 0-15, Side 0-15); Copy-limit violations and Banlist statuses for the 13 restricted cards; Card stats and text excerpts for all 27 main and 14 extra distinct cards; Usage stats: Droll 82.8%, Ash 58.6%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 55.2% inclusion; S:P Little Knight 72.4% missing core
• Inferred: Hypergeometric draw probabilities as listed under probabilities; Fire King engine and recursion lines from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text and hand-trap counts; Dimension scores D1-D11 and D14 from card text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power is null and D13 is a neutral placeholder: no dated metagame sample or tournament link; Tournament reliability (40) is a provisional estimate with no tournament or win-rate data
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first or second, matchup, brick or starter rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck is empty: no post-side evidence No guides attached for the archetype
