Mikanko Deck #771620 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 49 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Mikanko Equip-based special summons into Ohime/Uzuhime boards and Equip-protected beaters, with Fusion/Xyz/Link Extra Deck boss monsters; Fusion Summons via Super Polymerization and Garura/Mudragon/N'tss; Thunder King and Bucephalus as one-card closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Mikanko starter (Hu-Li, Ha-Re, Sanaki, Ni-Ni) and use Mikanko Water Arabesque or Shinbu to convert into a Ritual or Xyz board; hand traps unlikely to be live
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand must find a Mikanko starter plus a removal or negation line; Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster and Forbidden Droplet are the only real going-second answers
• Recovery: Mikanko Spiritwalk and Mikanko Rivalry recycle Equip Spells from GY, and Uzuhime/Sanaki return Mikanko to hand; the Extra Deck is the main recovery resource
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

This list is illegal as submitted: Super Polymerization is run three copies against an OCG limit of two, so the score is a structural-only read capped low and is not a normal final contextual score. Consistency is moderate: the 25 Mikanko-named copies give an archetype-core opening probability near 0.98 (Inferred), but only 21 copies are exact-name Mikanko, 43 of 49 Main Deck copies are off-archetype, and the list mixes Greed, Kaiju, Harpie, HERO, Tri-Brigade and Forbidden engines that compete for the same hand slots. Interaction is the strongest area on the system: Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Forbidden Droplet, Unbreakable Xyz Barrier and Nibiru give several layers, but most are conditional or one-card answers. The deck has no side deck, no recorded boards, and no tournament record, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference and the result is not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 36, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-12); Engine conflicts (0). Final formula: Structural 41.6 (Midrange weights) -> 0.80*41.6 + 0.20*30 = 39.3; Illegal copy-limit cap -12 -> 27.3, rounded 28; Meta provisional/null; structural-only per rubric legality step

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Core Mikanko engine is present with 25 archetype-named copies, giving near-certain starter access on going first (Inferred)
• Layered interaction suite including Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Forbidden Droplet and Unbreakable Xyz Barrier (Verified card text)
• Multiple boss monsters across Fusion, Xyz and Link provide real closing power if the engine lands (Verified stat)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Super Polymerization exceeds the OCG copy limit
• Low archetype purity (32.8% exact name) with several competing engines in one list
• No side deck and no recorded combo, matchup or tournament evidence

Critical choke points

• Super Polymerization copy count must be fixed before the list can be played or scored normally
• Extra Deck Mikanko Uzuhime/Ohime-based lines depend on specific Mikanko starters being drawn
• Going second hand 6 needs a Mikanko starter plus a removal or negation line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Super Polymerization 3 copies vs legal 2 (OCG Semi-Limited); Main 49, Extra 15, Side 0; size rules satisfied; Archetype purity 32.8% exact name; 21 exact-name Mikanko copies; Interaction and boss card text from evidence excerpts
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability ~0.98 for the Mikanko core; Brick and conflict risk from off-archetype cards; Going-first and going-second strength from text and probabilities
• Provisional: Meta power null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) based on no tournament data
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null; name unavailable no side deck registered (side count 0)
