Unchained Deck #771817 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Luce the Dusk's Dark, Fiendsmith's Desirae, A Bao A Qu, Phantom of Yubel) reached through Fiendsmith, Yubel and Unchained searcher and summon lines; Link-based board presence with Unchained Soul Lord of Yama and Fiendsmith's Agnumday, backed by hand-trap negation
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher such as Nightmare Throne, Opening of the Spirit Gates or Nightmare Pain, reach a Yubel or Fiendsmith starter, and build a Link or Fusion board while holding Ash Blossom or Ghost Belle for the opponent's first answer
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Nibiru, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence in hand to stop the opponent's board, then rebuild through GY recursion from Fiendsmith and Unchained monsters
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Chaos Summoning Beast, Lacrima the Crimson Tears, Unchained Soul Lord of Yama and Spirit of Yubel, with Fiendsmith's Tract and Terraforming as backup searchers
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be assessed; the deck is illegal as built and cannot be evaluated as a best-of-3 list

Why it scores here

The deck can reliably open a searcher in its opening hand (P≥1 searcher in 5 cards ≈ 0.92) and reach its archetype core roughly two times in three, so the engine is accessible on paper. Its recorded boards are absent, so conversion and floor are inferred only from card text: the Extra Deck bosses are strong when reached, but the median output is unmeasured. Hand traps (13 copies, P≥1 in a 6-card going-second hand ≈ 0.81) and multiple negates give real resilience, and the Extra Deck of 15 has good coverage. The deck is held down by 27 non-engine or tech cards that dilute the main deck, no Side Deck, and two copy-limit violations that make it illegal as built. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged; the score is a theoretical, capped figure for the system and is not a normal legal-deck evaluation.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Combo secondary; profile weights used as-is. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Copy-limit violations (-6); Banlist exposure (0); Illegal cap (-22). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 53.6 before modifiers; modifiers -6 gives 47.6; Illegal cap applied, final 25

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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 (22 cards) gives high opening-hand access to a starter
• Hand traps (13) and multiple negate effects give strong going-second interaction
• Extra Deck of 15 with Link and Fusion bosses offers good ceiling when reached

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Ash Blossom runs 3 vs 2 and Fiendsmith Engraver runs 2 vs 1
• 27 non-engine or tech cards dilute the main deck
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability

Critical choke points

• Reaching the Fiendsmith or Yubel starter depends on one of a few searchers, and the copy-limit violations would have to be fixed first
• The archetype core is present in only about 67% of opening hands

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom 3 vs 2 and Fiendsmith Engraver 2 vs 1 copy limits; 57 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side size counts within OCG size rules; Banlist statuses of listed restricted cards
• Inferred: Searcher and archetype-core hypergeometric estimates; Hand-trap going-second estimate; Ceiling and interaction ratings from card text; Element and recursion resilience reads
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and 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 — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown no Side Deck registered — post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
