Cynet Deck #772630 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon Salamangreat Link monsters (Pyro Phoenix, Raging Phoenix, Heatleo, Sunlight Wolf) into 2500-2800 ATK boards, backed by hand traps and removal; Going-second Link pressure after hand traps blank the opponent's first board, with Zealantis and Promethean Princess as additional boards
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with 3 Salamangreat Foxy, Gazelle or Spinny and Circle or Cynet Mining to reach a Link-capable board; play Salamangreat Sanctuary/Balelynx to set up the first Link
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Nibiru or Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first activation, then Link Summon through the resulting empty board
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Salamangreat Gazelle, Falco, Jack Jaguar and Weasel special summons, and Will of the Salamangreat from the GY
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adjust to matchups

Why it scores here

Scored on the deck as a system, not by averaging its card scores. The Salamangreat core (14 copies, P(at least one in opening 5) of about 0.81) gives a reasonably reliable T1-T2 start, and the searchers (9 copies, about 0.63) add redundancy. Thirteen hand traps and about 21 removal or negation texts make interaction the deck's strongest dimension, and the going-second hand-trap probability is about 0.84. Conversion relies on Link Summons into 2500-2800 ATK boards, which is strong but needs specific materials and has no recorded combo evidence. The score is capped because the list is illegal: it runs 3 copies each of two Semi-Limited cards and has 16 Extra Deck cards against a limit of 15. Popularity was not credited, and no side deck or tournament data exists to support a higher reading. Structural power is about 64 on the rubric (theoretical), and the final score is capped at 35 under the Illegal rule.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 63.9, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); extra_deck_over_limit (0). Final formula: Illegal cap: theoretical/structural only. Uncapped 0.80*63.9 + 0.20*50 - 6 = 55.1, capped to 35 by the legality rule (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · 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 interaction suite with 13 hand traps and multiple negation routes
• Archetype core of 14 copies gives high starter access
• Link-heavy Extra Deck gives strong 2300-2800 ATK boards with recursion

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two cards run over the Semi-Limited copy limit and the Extra Deck exceeds 15
• No side deck, so no post-side adjustment
• Label says Cynet but the composition is Salamangreat-dominant, so the archetype identity is unclear

Critical choke points

• Link Summon materials: a single missing Link-1 or Link-2 enabler stops the main board
• Going-second hand trap timing against the opponent's first activation

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 52 cards within 40-60; Extra Deck 16 cards exceeds 15; Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse are Semi-Limited with legal copies 2 and 3 run; Droll & Lock Bird and S:P Little Knight are Limited with 1 copy each; Archetype core 14 copies; searcher text 9 copies; hand-trap text 13 copies
• Inferred: P(at least one starter in opening 5) about 0.81; Going-second hand-trap coverage about 0.84; Combo ceiling and interaction quality from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample; Tournament Reliability: no tournament data
• 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 side deck; post-side adaptability cannot be measured no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
