Igknight Deck #772363 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-driven board of Majespecter and Dracoslayer monsters, converted into Extra Deck Link and Synchro pressure (Majespecter Draco - Ryu, Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon, Nibiru as a late swing).; Going-second disruption with Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence and Majespecter Tempest, then closing with Pendulum-summoned bodies.
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum Summon from the Pendulum Zone, search a Majespecter or Dracoslayer searcher, and build a Link or Xyz line through the Extra Deck. No combo lines are recorded, so this is text-derived.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C or Infinite Impermanence for the first meaningful opposing effect, then rebuild through Pendulum searchers. Forbidden Extra Deck cards are not usable.
• Recovery: Searchers (23 texts) and Pendulum recursion (Dinomight Powerload, Majespecter Crow, Majespecter Fox) refill the hand after a board wipe.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan. A best-of-3 OCG build cannot adapt.

Why it scores here

The deck is not really an Igknight deck: it has zero Igknight cards and 71 off-archetype copies, built mostly from Majespecter, Dracoslayer and Vaylantz Pendulums with a Link and Synchro Extra Deck. Its consistency is decent on paper, since 23 searcher texts give a 94.6% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and a 3-copy card is live in 25.7% of going-first openings (Inferred). Interaction is respectable for OCG, with 5 hand traps and 7 negation texts, and the going-second plan has real disruption. The score is held down by the absence of any recorded combos, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates, and by no side deck, a 17-card Extra Deck over the 15-card limit, and two Forbidden Extra Deck cards. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged. Because the list is Illegal, the score is capped at 25 and the evaluation is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (approx. 80/20 blend; the rubric's Midrange profile was used as the base). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-9); extra deck oversize (-3); illegal-status cap (-14). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*52 + 0.20*48 - 12 ≈ 39 uncapped; Illegal status caps the final score at 25 (theoretical / structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · 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 package (23 texts) gives a 94.6% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand
• Five hand traps and seven negation texts provide real going-second interaction
• Pendulum recursion and multiple Link and Synchro options give several independent lines

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: two Forbidden Extra Deck cards and a 17-card Extra Deck
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• No recorded combos, so ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Listed as Igknight but contains no Igknight cards; the real build is a Majespecter and Dracoslayer Pendulum shell

Critical choke points

• Two Forbidden Extra Deck cards must come out before the deck is playable
• Pendulum Zone scale conflicts when two scales are not both live
• Most Pendulum lines depend on a single searcher or Pendulum Summon, which Ash Blossom or Maxx C can stop

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Borreload Savage Dragon and Baronne de Fleur are Forbidden in OCG, each run 1 copy, 0 legal; Extra Deck is 17 cards against the 15-card OCG maximum; Side Deck is 0 cards; Zero Igknight cards; 71 off-archetype copies; 23 searcher texts, 5 hand traps, 7 negation texts, 19 removal texts
• Inferred: P(at least one 3-copy starter in a going-first 5-card hand) ≈ 0.26; Searcher redundancy gives about 95% searcher access in opening hands; Interaction quality of Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C and Infinite Impermanence in the going-second plan; Consistency and brick estimates from the hypergeometric model
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit: no dated metagame sample; Tournament reliability: no tournament link or match record
• 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, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown No Side Deck registered; post-side performance unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Title is null; deck is identified by its archetype label only
