@Ignister Deck #772012 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 39/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link/Synchro/Xyz boss from Cyberse and Mathmech extra-deck monsters, e.g. Firewall Dragon Darkfluid or Primathmech Alembertian, reached through searcher chains; Recurring Mathmech and Mulcharmy board pressure via Mulcharmy draw effects and Mathmech Equation revival
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Backup, Pikari, Achichi, Cynet Mining) to a Cyberse starter, go to the Extra Deck, and protect the board with Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Ghost Belle
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 17 hand traps (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Skull Meister, Nibiru, Infinite Impermanence) to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through the searcher package
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on opponent summons once the hand is empty; Mathmech Superfactorial and Equation revive GY Mathmech monsters
• After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck is run in this list, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck's real strength is its interaction density: 17 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards let it disrupt the opponent's first board and survive a single answer, which is why the going-second score is the highest dimension. Its opening is consistent but not clean. Archetype-core cards reach at least one hand in about 78% of 5-card hands (hypergeometric, Inferred), yet only 15.7% of the main deck is exact @Ignister, and three sub-archetypes (Mathmech, Code Talker, Mulcharmy) plus 27 generic cards split the engine, which costs brick and conflict risk. No recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences and are not scored from real play. Popularity did not earn points: the @Ignister usage stats show a deck that is real and accessible, not a strong one. The list is illegal because three copies of Ash Blossom exceed the OCG limit of two, so the score is capped and labelled theoretical, and the empty side deck leaves no post-side plan. The score was built from the system dimensions, not by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure_copy_limit (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers = 0.80*52 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 39 (theoretical only: illegal list)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.78 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.22 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• 17 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards give strong going-second disruption
• Searcher density (15) keeps the engine findable from a 5-card opener
• Extra Deck covers Link, Xyz, Synchro and Fusion routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count: three Ash Blossom exceed the OCG limit of two
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Three sub-archetypes (@Ignister, Mathmech, Code Talker) with only 15.7% exact-name purity
• No recorded boards; combo ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Cyberse starter in hand (Backup, Pikari, Cynet Mining, A.I. Connect) for every engine line
• Infinite Impermanence or Ash Blossom protecting the first board, which are the cards the copy limit affects

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 and Extra 15 are inside OCG size rules; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs legal 2 (Semi-Limited); Mathmech Circular 1 copy is within its Limited cap; Card text for all 40 distinct cards was resolved
• Observed: Usage stats show the @Ignister core is accessible: Wicckid, Wizard, Backup, Mulcharmy (not measured as play results)
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.78 in 5-card opener (hypergeometric); Going-second hand-trap coverage about 0.90 in 6-card hands; Combo ceiling and median from card text only
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null, so the deck is identified by its @Ignister archetype label only
