Bystial/Byssted Deck #772724 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend family and other high-ATK Dragons (Red Nova, Red Supernova, Hypernova) from Resonator and Archfiend starters; Bystial recursion via Dis Pater and Magnamhut banish-Summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and Special Summon a Resonator or Archfiend starter, use Crimson Gaia or Soul Resonator searches to reach a Red Dragon Archfiend Synchro, protected by hand traps where possible
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler and Infinite Impermanence to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Resonator searches
• Recovery: Resonator monsters in the GY (Vision Resonator, Synkron Resonator, Red Rising Dragon) re-add or revive Resonators to rebuild the Synchro engine
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected system: its searchers (about 17 search-text cards, P(at least one searcher in an opening 5) about 0.95) make the Resonator and Archfiend engine usually reachable on turn 1-2, and 11 hand traps give a strong going-second answer to a first board. Its ceiling comes from the Red Dragon Archfiend and Red Nova / Supernova Synchro lines, which can clear the field and close with 3500-4500 ATK, but no recorded boards exist, so median output is only inferred from text. The main-deck coherence is mixed: the list runs 55 off-archetype copies and no exact-name core, which lowers efficiency and adds brick risk. Popularity (about 80% of the archetype's usual core present) confirms the list is real and accessible, but it did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged. Because the list is illegal (Ash Blossom at 3 copies against a limit of 2), it receives only a structural read capped low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun secondary used for interpretation only; Midrange weights applied to scores. Structural ≈ 60.5, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-8); Off-archetype composition (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: no normal Final Contextual score. Structural (Midrange weights, 60.5) capped to 30 for illegal copy limit; Meta null (provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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 searcher and Resonator recursion supports reliable engine access
• 11 hand traps and 10 negate texts give strong going-second interaction
• High-ATK Red Dragon Archfiend and Red Nova / Supernova Synchros close quickly

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count for Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Mixed sub-archetypes (55 off-archetype copies) lower coherence and raise brick risk

Critical choke points

• Single Red Dragon Archfiend Synchro line depends on Tuner availability in the Main Deck
• Limited-status Bystial and Droll copies (1 each) remove redundancy when they are drawn

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules (main 40-60, extra 0-15); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2; Limited cards (Bystial Druiswurm, Bystial Magnamhut, Droll & Lock Bird, The Bystial Lubellion) each run 1 copy, which is legal; Card text is present for all distinct cards
• Observed: Archetype core present at 80 percent of the usual core (4 of 5 cards)
• Inferred: Searcher and hand-trap probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Combo ceiling and interaction density read from card text; Brick and coherence risk from copy histogram and archetype spread
• Provisional: Median output and matchup fit (no recorded boards or dated meta); Going-first and going-second estimates
• 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 and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown no side deck supplied - post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
