Mekk-Knights Deck #771728 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon Mekk-Knight and World Legacy Link monsters (Crusadia Avramax, Spectrum Supreme, Underworld Goddess) to reach 3000-ATK boards and attack through negated, hand-trap-protected lines; Mekk-Knight Purple Nightfall and Blue Sky chains from the hand through column-based Special Summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter from the archetype core (16 copies, Inferred P(at least one in 5) of about 0.83), summon into Link engine, keep Ash/Ghost Belle style hand traps for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (9 cards, about 0.68 P(at least one in 6)) to break the opponent's first board, then Link Summon through the remaining negation and removal
• Recovery: Recover through Link Monster recursion and World Legacy search (Mekk-Knight of the Morning Star, Galatea-I) once the first wave of interaction is spent
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected Midrange system: a 16-copy Mekk-Knight core gives an Inferred ~0.83 chance of opening at least one engine piece, and the 14 Link Monsters convert that access into 3000-ATK boards. Interaction is the deck's strongest layer, with 22 negation-text cards, 18 removal-text cards and 9 hand traps spread across both turns. Its weaknesses are a low main-deck efficiency (27 distinct main cards, 21 tech slots, 0% exact-archetype purity), no recorded combo boards, and no side deck. Popularity and archetype naming did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged; the score is further capped because the deck runs three copies of a Semi-Limited card, so it is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: illegal_copy_violation (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: uncapped 0.80*56 + 0.20*50 = 54.8, less -12 illegal-copy modifier = 42.8, capped to 30 (structural-only, no normal Final score). Meta Power provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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

• Layered negation and removal (22 negation-text, 18 removal-text cards)
• Core engine access is high for a 16-copy archetype core
• Strong 3000-ATK Link finishers

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring
• Low main-deck efficiency and 0% exact archetype purity
• No side deck

Critical choke points

• Illegal list status must be fixed before any normal score applies
• Reliance on hand traps for the going-second board

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of 2; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Card text and archetype composition match the evidence pack
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.83 from hypergeometric estimate; Going-second hand-trap access ≈ 0.68; Interaction quality read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Format fit (no tournament link)
• 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 — brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered
