Diabellstar Deck #772757 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro and Fusion boards built around Diabell, Diabellstar and Azamina monsters, converted into 2500-4000 ATK/DEF bodies and board control; Sinful Spoils recursion and Diabellstar the Black Witch / Diabellze pressure while the opponent is locked out by hand traps
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Elzette, Silvy, Tales, Filia Diabell, Deception) into a Diabell or White Forest starter, then use Ash, Ghost Ogre and Infinite Impermanence to protect the first Synchro or Fusion line
• Turn 2 (going second): Use 16 hand-trap cards (about 89% chance of at least one in a 6-card hand) to stop the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through searchers and Mulcharmy draw
• Recovery: Sinful Spoils and Diabell GY recursion (Snake-Eye, Subversion, Curse of Diabell banish or GY effects) plus searchers to refill the hand
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck's score comes from the system: about 84% chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5 and 82% chance of at least one archetype-core card (both Inferred from the hypergeometric table), with 16 hand traps that give roughly 89% chance of an interaction card in a going-second 6. Interaction and redundancy (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Effect Veiler) lift resilience and end-board quality, while the Sinful Spoils and Diabell recursion supports recovery. Scoring is not from popularity: the archetype's 76% core inclusion rates and usage data confirm the list is real, but the deck runs only 1.4% exact-name Diabellstar cards and 71 off-archetype copies, which weakens engine coherence. No combo boards were recorded, so combo ceiling and median are text-only inference and drag confidence down. The score is capped because the list is Illegal: three cards exceed their copy limits and the Extra Deck is 3 over the OCG maximum, and the deck has no Side Deck. Card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); extra_deck_over_limit (-3). Final formula: Illegal cap: normal formula 0.80*Structural(56) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) + ContextModifiers(-11) ≈ 43, capped at 35 because the list is Illegal; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · 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

• 16 hand traps and 19 removal-text cards give dense interaction
• Searchers (16 copies) give about 84% chance of at least one in an opening 5
• Multiple recursion and redundancy routes (Sinful Spoils, Diabell GY effects, duplicate hand traps)
• Usage stats confirm the Diabellstar core (The Hallowed Azamina 76%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 67%, Deception 65%)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 3 cards over copy limits and Extra Deck 18/15
• Weak engine coherence: 1.4% exact archetype purity, 71 off-archetype copies
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Missing core: Azamina Mu Rcielago (76% usage), Silvera and Rciela, and Azamina Ilia Silvia are absent
• No recorded combo boards, so consistency and ceiling cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Hand-trap dependency: the going-first plan has little interaction beyond Ash and Ghost Ogre
• Extra Deck over the limit, so at least 3 Extra Deck cards must be cut before the list is playable
• Searcher-to-starter chain relies on 16 searcher texts and 2-card starters

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy-limit violations: Ash Blossom 3/2, WANTED 3/1, Diabell Queen 4/3 (OCG BanList); Extra Deck 18 exceeds OCG maximum 15; Main deck 54 cards, Side deck 0; Archetype usage: The Hallowed Azamina 76%, Mulcharmy Fuwalos 67%, core present 68.8%
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Diabellstar archetype core is widely played (18 stat rows)
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in an opening 5) ≈ 0.84; archetype core ≈ 0.82; hand trap in a going-second 6 ≈ 0.89; Hand-trap density gives strong going-second and interaction profile; Engine coherence is weak (1.4% exact purity, 71 off-archetype copies)
• Provisional: Meta Power is null without a dated OCG metagame sample; Matchup fit and tournament reliability are not measured
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup or brick/starter rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck has no title (title null) and no Side Deck
