Therions Deck #772323 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck threats (Chimeratech, Number/Xyz, Cyber Dragon Nova) backed by hand-trap protection (Inferred); Cyberdark/K9 boards that follow up after Cyber Dragon searches (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Cyber Dragon / Cyberdark searchers and K9 Normal Summons, then hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence) for the next turn (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru and Disablaster to interrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild with Cyber Dragon and Xyz/Link (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recycle through Cyber Dragon Herz, Nachster and Cyberdark Claw from the GY, and use the Mulcharmy draw engine to refill hand (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck; no post-game adjustment is possible in best-of-3 (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency rests on a dense set of searchers (21 searcher-text cards, about 92% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand) and 14 hand traps (about 84% chance of one in a 6-card going-second hand), which gives it a reliable early interaction layer. Its interaction density is the strongest structural feature: negation, hand traps and removal combine into a layered end-board that holds up through disruption. Conversion is weaker because no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are inferred from text only and kept modest. The score is pulled down by the two Semi-Limited copy-limit violations, which make the list illegal and cap the result, and by the lack of a side deck. Popularity was not credited: the archetype core is only 3 copies and 70 of 73 copies are off-archetype, and the score comes from consistency, interaction and Extra Deck coverage on the system, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary (interaction-heavy); profile weights used as-is, no blend applied. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Copy-limit violation (illegal list) (-15). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); Illegal cap applied

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

• Dense searcher and hand-trap package gives a consistent early interaction layer
• Layered negation, removal and hand traps protect the end-board
• Multiple Extra Deck closers (Chimeratech, Xyz, Link) give flexible threats

Weaknesses

• Two Semi-Limited copy-limit violations make the list illegal
• No side deck, so best-of-3 has no adaptation
• Thin 3-copy archetype core; 70 of 73 copies are off-archetype
• One unresolved passcode weakens legality and card-text verification

Critical choke points

• Cyber Dragon / Cyberdark searcher chain for the opening turn
• Reliance on hand traps being in hand rather than on the board when the opponent goes first

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy-limit violations for Ash Blossom and K9-17 Izuna; Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 counts; Card text and banlist tokens from evidence; Searcher-text count 21 and hand-trap count 14; Extra Deck breakdown: Link 4, Xyz 6, Synchro 1, Fusion 3
• Inferred: Starter hypergeometric estimates (P≈0.92 searcher, P≈0.84 hand trap going second); Strategy classification as Midrange with Stun secondary; Interaction layering and recovery quality from text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (archetype meta share unavailable)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta share and per-pilot record absent One passcode (10443957) unresolved and counted as main No win-rate telemetry; going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or unknown Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
