Diabellstar Deck #772520 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro/Fusion/Link boards led by Diabellstar the Black Witch, Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon, Snake-Eyes Doomed Dragon and Azamina, with 2800-4000 ATK bodies; Sinful Spoils recursion (Sinful Spoils Sanctification, Susurrus, Diabellze) and White Forest Synchro chains
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Silvy or Elzette to search or summon, then Snake-Eye Ash/Oak/Poplar to reach Snake-Eye Flamberge or Diabellstar; hold Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence) to break the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through Tales of the White Forest and Elzette
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Sinful Spoils banish-to-search and White Forest GY Synchro effects (Woes, Scourge, Rciela)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists; this is a structural-only read

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not by averaging its cards. Its archetype core is present in only about two-thirds of opening hands (P(at least one core card in a 5-card hand) ≈ 0.66, Inferred), while searcher text is near-universal (≈0.94), so the engine usually comes online but depends on a few specific starters. Interaction is layered: four hand traps and about ten negation-text cards give several turn-one answers, and the Extra Deck (Diabellstar-era Fusion, Synchro and Link bosses at 2800–4000 ATK) offers real board pressure. Consistency and median output are held down by the lack of any recorded combos, so ceiling and floor cannot be separated from evidence; they are Inferred from card text. The deck is Illegal for OCG (two Limited cards run at two copies each), which caps the score, and it has no side deck, which removes any post-side adaptability. Popularity is not credited: usage statistics show the list covers only about 31% of the archetype's standard core, so it is a loose variant, not a confirmed standard build.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; no secondary weighting applied. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); No side deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: normal formula 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + modifiers(-12) ≈ 38, capped to 30 per Illegal rule; Meta Power provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.66 · 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

• Layered interaction: 4 hand traps plus negation-text and removal-text cards
• Strong Extra Deck end-boards: 4000 ATK Azamina, 3000 ATK Flamberge and Doomed Dragon
• Redundant search: 18 searcher-text cards makes the engine likely to start

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: 2 copies each of two Limited cards
• No side deck, so no adaptability
• Loose archetype purity (3.5% exact-name, 31% of the standard core present)
• No recorded combos, so consistency and median output are unverified

Critical choke points

• Snake-Eye Ash and WANTED over-limit: one copy must be removed before the list is legal
• Dependence on Snake-Eye and Sinful Spoils cards to reach the Extra Deck bosses

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Snake-Eye Ash and WANTED each run 2 copies against an OCG limit of 1; Main 43, Extra 14, Side 0 against size rules 40–60 / 0–15 / 0–15; Card stats and text for all listed cards; Archetype usage: 5 of 16 standard core cards present (31.2%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probabilities (hypergeometric, 0.66 core in 5 cards); Hand-trap timing and interaction density from card text; Consistency and brick estimates from copy histogram
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (no dated sample or 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 record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates No side deck registered Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
