Kashtira Deck #771877 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Kashtira beatdown through Kashtira Fenrir / Unicorn / Ogre / Shangri-Ira board pressure (text read, Inferred); the Forbidden and Limited copies make the intended finisher line unplayable as listed; Xyz and Synchro boards from the Extra Deck (Chaos Angel, Dark Armed, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Red-Eyes Flare Metal Dragon) for pressure after a stable board
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon Kashtira monsters via Riseheart / Fenrir / Unicorn-style hand effects and Kashtira Birth, backed by Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Mourner, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to disrupt the opponent's summon, then Kashtira follow-up (Inferred)
• Recovery: Banish-based recursion from GY through Kashtira Birth and Kashtira Preparations, plus Mulcharmy draw effects (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The score is built from the deck as a system, not from averaging card scores. Consistency is moderate: the archetype core group has about a 65% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and 27% of the Main Deck is exact-archetype, with 29 generic and several off-archetype Mulcharmy, Broken World, Cyclone and Solemn copies, so the engine is only partly coherent. Interaction is the strongest area: 11 hand traps and 12 negation-text cards give layered answers, though the Forbidden and Limited copies weaken the core lines. No combo boards were supplied, so combo ceiling and median are text-only inference and are scored low-to-middle. The deck runs 0 side cards, which caps adaptability at 20. The deck is Illegal (3 Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir, 3 Limited Kashtira Unicorn, 3 Semi-Limited Ash Blossom against 0, 1 and 2 legal copies), so the Final score is capped at 28 and is structural-only. Popularity from the Kashtira usage stats confirms the list is real but does not add points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary, applied to the Midrange profile weights (structural score uses Midrange weights). Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*45 + 0.20*35 - 10 = 33, capped at 28 because the deck is Illegal (structural-only, Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.65 · 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 hand-trap and negation coverage (11 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards)
• Strong Extra Deck coverage across Xyz, Synchro and Link summons
• Core Kashtira searchers give high searcher density (17 searcher-text cards)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 3 Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir and 3 Limited Kashtira Unicorn
• Low archetype purity (27%) with 51 off-archetype copies
• 0 side cards: no post-side plan
• No combo data to validate the line

Critical choke points

• Kashtira Fenrir and Kashtira Unicorn are central to the line and are not legally playable as listed
• Ash Blossom over its Semi-Limited limit (3 run, 2 legal)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within size rules; Kashtira Fenrir Forbidden (0 legal, 3 run); Kashtira Unicorn Limited (1 legal, 3 run); Ash Blossom Semi-Limited (2 legal, 3 run); Usage stat: Kashtira core cards 60-80% inclusion
• Observed: Usage stats show Kashtira-standard core inclusion at 60-80%, confirming a real list
• Inferred: Core-group consistency ~0.65 at least one in 5-card hand; Hand-trap density gives ~0.76 at least one in 6 cards; Interaction density and board breaking from card text; Midrange structural score 45 from dimension scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• 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 in the export
