@Ignister Deck #772397 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon a large Cyberse/Code Talker/Maliss Extra Deck board (2300-2500 ATK Link monsters) from the Main Deck starters, then convert the board with Link-based attacks; Maliss Link-monster recursion and banish-based engines through Maliss traps and monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Cyberse/@Ignister starter (Backup @Ignister, Wizard @Ignister) or a Maliss monster, search or Special Summon a second Link-enabler, and Link Summon a 2-3 material Link to set up board presence while holding Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence for the first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to answer the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild the engine through Maliss and Cyberse effects
• Recovery: Re-Link from the GY through recursion effects (Cyberse Code Magician, Linguriboh, Maliss Dormouse) and rebuild the board with the remaining Main Deck starters
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games in the evidence

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG: Allure of Darkness is run 3 copies against a limit of 1, and Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse are each run 3 against a limit of 2. The score is therefore a structural, theoretical read capped low, not a normal Final Contextual score. Structurally the deck is built around an Extra Deck of 14 Link monsters, which gives it strong end-board presence once starters land, and a 95% chance that at least one of its 22 archetype-core copies is in a 5-card opening hand. Interaction is dense, with 10 hand-trap cards and multiple negate and removal effects. The main weaknesses are a combo output that cannot be measured (no recorded boards), no Side Deck, and heavy Limited and Semi-Limited exposure. Popularity of the archetype did not add points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56.6, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: illegal copy-limit cap (-21); banlist exposure (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(56.6) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 54.9; context modifiers -4 gives 50.9; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only, no normal Final Contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.28 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype-core density: 95% chance of at least one core copy in a 5-card opening hand
• Extra Deck of 14 Link monsters covers Link-1 to Link-5 and gives strong end-board presence
• 10 hand-trap cards with layered negation and removal text

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three cards over their copy limits
• No Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded boards, so combo floor and ceiling are unmeasured
• Heavy Limited and Semi-Limited exposure

Critical choke points

• Every Link Summon depends on a Main Deck starter (Backup @Ignister, Maliss March Hare, Maliss Chessy Cat) appearing early
• The three over-limit hand traps are the main interaction; removing copies to legal counts reduces their redundancy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 50 cards and Extra Deck 14 cards are inside the OCG size rules; Allure of Darkness, Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse exceed their copy limits; Archetype-core usage stats: 14 of 25 core cards present
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter and core probabilities (hypergeometric); Hand-trap interaction density and negation text reads; Structural dimension scores D1 through D14
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (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 Side Deck registered - post-side plan cannot be evaluated no win-rate telemetry - going-first and going-second split is Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
