Bystial/Byssted Deck #772708 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro beaters from the Extra Deck (Red Supernova Dragon, Chaos Angel, Storm-Bane Dragon Destorbim, Bystial Dis Pater, Red Dragon Archfiend) reached through Tuner-based summons; Light and Darkness Ritual line (Black Chaos, Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos, Black Luster Soldier) for board presence
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tuner (Soul Resonator, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Vision Resonator) plus a Ritual or Synchro enabler, search with Soul Resonator or Crimson Gaia, then Synchro Summon a Tuner-based beater while holding Ash Blossom or Ghost Ogre to protect the first Quick Effect
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold the hand-trap package (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Griffoh) and Solemn Judgment or Solemn Warning to stop the opponent's starter, then rebuild a Synchro from the remaining Tuners
• Recovery: Recover through Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Purulia draw triggers when the hand empties, then search Tuners and Ritual enablers with Mind Shuffle or Light and Darkness Ritual
• After siding: No side deck was supplied (0 cards), so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in OCG: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Dominus Impulse are each run three times against a Semi-Limited limit of two, so the result is a theoretical, structural-only score and not a normal Final Contextual score. On the structure alone the deck reliably opens a Tuner-based Synchro line: the 15-card all-Synchro Extra Deck, eight Tuners and three Resonators give several routes to a live board. Its interaction is strong for a Midrange deck, with about seven hand traps plus Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Dominus Impulse and Forbidden Crown. Its weaknesses are the lack of archetype coherence (no exact-name Bystial core beyond a few cards, and Mulcharmy and Light and Darkness Ritual pieces that do not feed the Synchro plan), an empty side deck, and no combo or matchup evidence. The score comes from consistency, median output and interaction on the whole system, not from Bystial/Byssted being a popular archetype and not from averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 44. Modifiers: Copy-limit and banlist exposure (-8); No side deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical/structural-only. Structural 53.8 and Tournament Reliability 44 give 0.80*54 + 0.20*44 = 52 before modifiers; the legality cap is applied as context modifiers totalling -12 (within the -12..+12 limit), giving 40. Meta Power is provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.23 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.48 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered interaction: 7 hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Dominus Impulse and Forbidden Crown
• Redundant Tuner starters (Soul Resonator, Ghost Ogre, Vision Resonator, Darkness Resonator, Fydraulis Harmonia) support Synchro lines
• Large Extra Deck of Synchro beaters with 3000+ ATK options

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Ash Blossom and Dominus Impulse
• No side deck
• Low archetype purity: 0% exact-name Bystial cards; Mulcharmy, Light and Darkness Ritual and Resonator pieces compete for slots
• No recorded boards or matchup data to validate the combo ceiling

Critical choke points

• Tuner availability: most Synchro lines need a Tuner in hand or GY, and Tuner searches are the main route to a live board
• Ash Blossom and Ghost Ogre as the only Quick Effect answers to going-second interruptions

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0; both copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, Dominus Impulse) and the Limited-status cards run at legal counts; Archetype purity 0% exact-name; 15 Extra Deck cards are all Synchro monsters; Hand-trap and searcher counts from curated text flags
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency and brick-rate estimates (hypergeometric); Going-second hand-trap quality; Starter diversity and interruption resilience from text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup and format-fit scores (D13)
• Data gaps: Illegal list: copy-limit violations prevent a normal Final Contextual score No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record absent No side deck: post-side adaptability cannot be measured No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; all consistency signals are Inferred Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
