Runick (Mysterune) Deck #772647 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Runick Quick-Play removal and negation spells (skip next Battle Phase) buy time while Runick Extra Deck monsters and Magical Musket board pressure take over; Fusion/Link end-boards (Underworld Goddess, Predaplant Dragostapelia, Freki) once the opponent's board is stunned
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Runick Tip or Flashing Fire to banish or destroy a monster, Special Summon a Runick Extra Deck monster, and hold Ash Blossom or Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 4 hand traps (Ash, Droll) plus Runick Freezing Curses or Destruction on the opponent's turn, then convert with Extra Deck Fusion/Link monsters
• Recovery: Runick Fountain (illegal copy count) and Runick Tip/Upstart Goblin recycle Quick-Play spells and search Runick monsters; Musket Caspar and Doc search Musket cards from Deck or GY
• After siding: No side deck is registered (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adjust for matchups

Why it scores here

The deck's consistency is solid on paper: the 17-copy Runick/Musket core has a hypergeometric P(at least one in a 5-card opening) of about 0.92, and the Quick-Play Runick spells keep the engine usable on either player's turn (Inferred). Its interaction is the strongest part of the system: 9 negation-text and 20 removal-text cards, with Musket traps, Runick spells and Ash/Droll covering both turns. Conversion is hard to judge because no combos or tournament records were supplied, so the ceiling and median are text-only estimates and kept near the middle of the scale. Offensive closing is limited by the Battle Phase skip on each Runick spell and by the absence of a side deck. The score is capped low because the list breaks the OCG copy limits (3 Ash Blossom, 3 Runick Fountain). It is a structural read of the system, not an average of card scores, and popularity in the archetype data did not earn points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Stun. Structural ≈ 55.3, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violations (-12); No side deck (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 54.2; then legality modifier -12 gives 42.2, capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (copy-limit violations); theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Stun interaction density: 9 negation and 20 removal text cards across both turns
• Archetype core is accessible (17 copies, P≈0.92 in opening hand)
• Quick-Play Runick spells and Fountain give recursion and mid-turn interaction
• Four hand traps and seven searchers reduce dead opening hands

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom x3 (legal 2) and Runick Fountain x3 (legal 1)
• No side deck, so D12 and post-side adaptation are absent
• No combo or tournament data, so ceiling, median and meta are unverified
• Battle Phase skip on every Runick spell limits closing power

Critical choke points

• Runick Fountain: illegal at 3 copies; a legal list runs one, weakening recursion
• Extra Deck Runick monsters: each Quick-Play spell needs a Runick Extra Deck monster to be summoned
• Ash Blossom and Droll: the only hand-trap answers to going-second boards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Ash Blossom x3 (legal 2), Runick Fountain x3 (legal 1); Main 45, Extra 14, side 0; size rules legal for OCG; Card text for all 36 distinct cards from the evidence pack
• Observed: Archetype core coverage 7 of 9 (77.8%) in usage statistics
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability ≈ 0.92 for the 17-copy core; Interaction density high from negation/removal text roles; Stun-style structure from Quick-Play Battle Phase skips
• Provisional: Meta power (null); matchup and format fit (D13 at neutral 50)
• 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: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null
