Malefic Deck #772104 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Tempo
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Malefic boss Extra Deck monsters (Malefic Paradox Dragon, Malefic Cyber End Dragon, Malefic Stardust Dragon, all 4000 or 2500 ATK on the card text) summoned through the Malefic World / Malefic Territory field-spell engine; Cyber End Dragon and Malefic Rainbow Dragon 4000 ATK fusion/synchro boss lines; Gizmek and Mulcharmy as off-archetype support (Inferred from card text, no board data)
• Turn 1 (going first): Activate Malefic World or Malefic Territory, then use Malefic Paradox Gear or Malefic Parallel Gear to search and Special Summon Malefic bosses (Inferred from text; no combos supplied)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Skill Drain style interaction for the opponent's first activation, then reach a Malefic boss off Malefic World (Inferred; no side deck and no combo data to confirm)
• Recovery: Malefic World and Way Where There's a Will / Malefic Paradigm Shift re-search the Malefic cards from the Deck; the Gravekeeper's Inscription and Zombie World lines are unsupported by any recorded board (Inferred)
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan at all (Verified from evidence)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected Malefic system, not as an average of its card scores. Its core Malefic World and Parallel/Paradox Gear engine has high archetype-core access (P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.92), and it has strong hand-trap and negation density (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Skill Drain, 10 negation-text cards). Those strengths are capped by a 34.7% exact archetype purity, 17 off-archetype or tech slots, 14 singleton cards, and no Side Deck at all. The list is illegal (Ash Blossom at 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2), so the score is capped at 25 as a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the list is real but do not earn points, and no combo boards were recorded, so floor and median output are unknown.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 100% Combo profile; Midrange not blended. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-4); No side deck (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: normal blend 0.80*Structural(49) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(38) + modifiers(-7) ≈ 40, then capped to 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only read)

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

• Archetype core access is high (P≈0.92 in an opening 5)
• Layered hand-trap and negation text (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Skill Drain)
• Several 4000-ATK Malefic boss monsters on the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom at 3 copies vs a Semi-Limited limit of 2
• Only 34.7% exact archetype purity; 47 off-archetype copies
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded combo boards to confirm floor or median output

Critical choke points

• Malefic World and the Gear searchers: if the field spell is not down, most Malefic bosses are restricted or destroyed
• Single Ash Blossom copy limit change would be needed before the list can be played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no meta sample or tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate or going-first/second telemetry Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null
