Swordsoul Deck #771987 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro beaters from the Ashtra and Swordsoul pools (Ashtraja Susanoo 3300 ATK, Ashtraya Mikumari-no-Mikoto 3000 ATK, Adamancipator Risen - Dragite 3000 ATK), reached through Ashtra face-down revival and Tuner-based Synchro Summons.; Hand-trap and negation control (9 hand traps, 19 negation-text cards) that protects a single Synchro boss while the opponent's board is answered.
• Turn 1 (going first): Set a face-down card, revive an Ashtra monster or Mulcharmy/Diabellstar starter, and Synchro Summon a boss; the 3-copy starter probability in a 5-card hand is only about 0.24 (Inferred), so the opening plan is unreliable.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) for the first summon or search, then rebuild a Synchro board from the Ashtra and Mulcharmy draw engines (Inferred).
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw effects, Penalty Game, Crow and the searcher text cards (11 copies, about 0.67 chance of at least one in hand) are the rebuild resources (Inferred).
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the deck is a single-list build.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its strongest reads are interaction density (nine hand traps and about 19 negation-text cards) and Synchro boss power (Susanoo, Mikumari-no-Mikoto and Dragite at 3000 ATK or more), which lift the endboard, closing and going-second dimensions. Its weakest reads are the starter problem and the composition: only 2.8% of main-deck copies carry the exact Swordsoul name, 70 copies are off-archetype, and the deck runs 57 main-deck cards across 30 distinct names, so the consistency of any single line is low. There are no recorded boards and no tournament or win-rate data, so the combo and meta dimensions are text-only or provisional. The list is illegal in OCG because it runs three Forbidden cards (Albion, Baronne de Fleur, Snake-Eye), which caps the result as a theoretical, structural-only read. Archetype popularity earned no points; the guide and the archetype usage stats confirm only that the core list is real and accessible.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 48.9, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Illegal list, theoretical structural read only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Dense interaction: nine hand traps and about 19 negation-text cards
• Synchro boss ceiling at 3000 ATK or more (Susanoo, Mikumari-no-Mikoto, Dragite, Kusanagi)
• Card flow from Mulcharmy draw effects, Maxx C, Droll and searcher text

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards in the list
• Very low archetype purity (2.8%) with 70 off-archetype copies
• No reliable 2-card starter; 3-copy starters appear in about 24% of opening hands
• No side deck, so no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Ashtra face-down revival requires a face-down card; a hand with no set card loses the main engine
• Synchro Summons need a Tuner and a non-Tuner, so a Tuner-light hand stalls
• Two of the three Forbidden cards are the Fallen of Albaz / Fleur route, which this list does not support without them

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: three Forbidden cards over copy limit (legality block); Main 57, Extra 15, Side 0 (size rules pass); Usage stats: Infinite Impermanence in 55.6% of archetype lists, 3 copies in this deck; Archetype purity 2.8%, 70 off-archetype copies
• Inferred: Starter probability of about 0.24 for 3-copy cards in a 5-card hand; Hand-trap and searcher density analysis; Going-second hand quality estimate; Extra Deck usability without the Albaz route; Ceiling from the Ashtra Synchro chain (text-only read)
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup, brick or OTK rates No side deck registered (side_count 0) Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Guide is an unstructured 2022 OCG Swordsoul guide with no sections parsed
