Evil Twin Deck #772492 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon Evil★Twin's Trouble Sunny (3300 ATK, link-4) and other Evil★Twin/Fiendsmith Link and Fusion threats off the Live☆Twin Ki-sikil/Lil-la engine; Board flooding via Ki-sikil/Lil-la Special Summon chains that stack Link fodder and Link-2 pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Live☆Twin Ki-sikil or Lil-la, search via Secret Password or Sunny's Snitch, Special Summon the partner Ki-sikil/Lil-la, then Link Summon an Evil★Twin monster; hold Infinite Impermanence or Droplet for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre and Maxx "C" as hand traps against the opponent's starter, then rebuild the Ki-sikil/Lil-la engine from the hand and GY
• Recovery: Unchained Soul Lord of Yama and Fiendsmith Engraver recover from the GY through searches and recursion; Lil-la Sweet and Ki-sikil Frost re-enter from the GY once the engine is live
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards, and it is capped low because it is Illegal: it runs 2× Triple Tactics Talent, 1× Knightmare Gryphon and 1× D/D/D Wave High King Caesar, all Forbidden in OCG. The Live☆Twin Ki-sikil/Lil-la engine opens with about 34% per copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and a searcher pair (Secret Password, Sunny's Snitch) and Yama/Engraver recursion give it a reasonable route to the Evil★Twin Link pressure. Interaction is the deck's strongest area: Ash Blossom ×2, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence ×3, Forbidden Droplet ×3 and Maxx "C" cover most turn-one plays when the engine is not yet live. The score is held down by the lack of any recorded combo boards (no median or floor), the blended Evil Twin / Fiendsmith / Unchained engines that conflict in LIGHT and Fiend requirements, the absence of a Side Deck, and the unplayable Forbidden cards. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points; the score is structural only and not a Final Contextual score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-4); illegal_cap (-10). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(54) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 52.8, then context modifiers -12 → 40.8, then Illegal cap to 30 (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Two-card Live☆Twin Ki-sikil/Lil-la engine with searcher support (Secret Password, Snitch, Yama, Engraver)
• Dense interaction: Ash Blossom ×2, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Impermanence ×3, Droplet ×3, Maxx "C"
• High-ATK Link closers: Trouble Sunny 3300 and Desirae 2800

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 5 Forbidden card slots, which invalidates a normal score
• Three engines (Evil Twin, Fiendsmith, Unchained) with conflicting attribute and race requirements
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combo boards, so floor, median and ceiling are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Live☆Twin Ki-sikil or Lil-la must be in hand or Deck for the engine to start; without them the opening becomes dead
• Going-second hands rely on hand traps; a missing Ash or Ghost Belle lets the opponent's starter resolve

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; 3 Forbidden cards over copy limit; 5 Limited cards at 1 copy each; Card text and stats for the listed cards from the resolved evidence; Usage: Live☆Twin Ki-sikil and Sunny's Snitch are core cards (70.6% inclusion)
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities (hypergeometric) and the engine bootstrap estimate; Hand-trap and interaction quality from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null in the export guide snippet is Vietnamese prose about Spright/Elf; not used for scoring
