Maliss Deck #772400 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• 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 Maliss Link Monsters (Red Ransom, Hearts Crypter, Accesscode/Decode Talker-style boards) and convert the 2300–2500 ATK end boards, supported by banish-from-GY and hand-to-field Maliss effects.; Bystial and @Ignister Cyberse Special Summon chains that pressure from the hand and GY, with Nibiru and Ash Blossom as disruption that can end the opponent's turn.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Maliss March Hare, Chessy Cat or Backup @Ignister starter, search or banish a Maliss card, then Link Summon into a 2300+ ATK Link using the monsters on field and banished Maliss cards.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence and Nibiru as hand traps against the opponent's summon or search, then rebuild through Maliss Dormouse and Chessy Cat from the GY.
• Recovery: Banish Maliss cards from the hand and GY to re-fire Maliss effects and Link Summon again, using Bystial Baldrake/Druiswurm/Magnamhut to Special Summon from the hand after a mass removal.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the list is structurally unable to adapt in a best-of-three match.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Maliss starter: 23 archetype-core copies give P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.96, so the engine comes online often (Inferred). Its interaction is dense, with about 10 hand traps and about 10 negation texts plus removal-text cards such as Dominus Impulse and Ash Blossom, which lifts the going-second and end-board reads. Scores come from the system: starter access, interaction layering and Link-Summon closing power, not from averaging card scores. Popularity and archetype usage do not earn points, and the deck is capped because three cards run over their OCG copy limits, so it is Illegal and the final score is held low. The loss of consistency and conversion data (no combos, no tournament link, no Side Deck) keeps the reads Inferred and Provisional.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6); Engine conflicts (-2); Weak post-side plan (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(58.3) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 56.2; modifiers -12 → 44; capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (three copy-limit violations)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense archetype-core access (23 copies, P ≈ 0.96 in opening 5)
• Layered interaction: hand traps, negations and removal-text cards
• Extra Deck of 14 Link monsters with 2300–2500 ATK closers

Weaknesses

• Three copy-limit violations make the list Illegal in OCG
• Off-archetype dilution: exact-name purity is 23.4%
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-three adaptation
• Heavy reliance on tech 0-level cards that add dead-draw risk

Critical choke points

• Maliss starter access depends on a few Link Monsters in the Extra Deck being live
• Illegal copy counts must be fixed before the list can be played or scored normally

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Allure of Darkness 3/1, Ash Blossom 3/2, Dominus Impulse 3/2 (OCG BanList); Main 50 (within 40–60), Extra 14 (within 0–15), Side 0 (within 0–15); Archetype core 23 copies; exact Maliss-name purity 23.4%; All 14 Extra Deck cards are Link monsters
• Observed: Archetype usage stats: 14 of 25 core cards present (56%)
• Inferred: P(≥1 Maliss core card in 5-card opening hand) ≈ 0.96; brick proxy ≈ 0.04; Interaction density from negation and removal text (10 negation, 24 removal); Going-first and going-second read from hand traps and starters
• Provisional: Meta fit (D13) and Meta Power: no dated metagame sample supplied; Tournament reliability: no tournament or per-pilot match record
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup or brick/starter rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null in the export
