Bystial/Byssted Deck #772862 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon a Dragon boss (Red Dragon Archfiend, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss, Bystial Dis Pater, Storm-Bane Dragon Destorbim) from a Resonator Tuner plus non-Tuner material; Bystial recursion and banish-based Special Summons through Bystial Druiswurm, Magnamhut and Lubellion
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Resonator or Bystial starter, search a Resonator or Bystial monster, then Synchro Summon a 3000+ ATK boss; the 2-card bootstrap is the weak point
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird or Nibiru to disrupt the opponent's first board, then Synchro Summon through the cleared board
• Recovery: Recover from GY through Resonator recursion (Synkron Resonator, Vision Resonator, Crimson Call) and Red Rising Dragon's GY Resonator revive
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck's structural score comes from its engine and interaction density on the system, not from averaging card scores. Searcher text appears in 94.6% of opening 5-card hands by hypergeometric estimate, so a Resonator or Bystial starter is usually reachable, and 13 hand traps give a 88.9% chance of at least one going second. Closing power is high because the Extra Deck holds several 3000+ ATK Dragons. Penalties come from the Ash Blossom copy-limit violation, which makes the list illegal and caps the final score, from the empty side deck, from the 0% exact-archetype purity across six related archetypes, and from the absence of any recorded boards. Popularity was not credited: the archetype core is 53% present by usage stats, and no tournament or meta data exists.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-3); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*56 + 0.20*45 + modifiers(-5) ≈ 49. Illegal-deck cap applied: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3x against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so the final score is capped at 30 and labelled structural-only (Meta 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 text (19 cards) makes it likely a starter is in the opening hand
• 13 hand traps and 10 negation-text cards cover both going-first and going-second
• Several 3000+ ATK Synchro Dragons close the game from one Synchro Summon

Weaknesses

• The deck is illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Six related archetype families are mixed with 0% exact-archetype purity

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom copy-limit violation must be fixed before the list can be played or scored normally
• The bootstrap depends on a Resonator Tuner plus a Dragon or Fiend non-Tuner, so losing the first Tuner to a hand trap can stop the Synchro line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality violation: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs Semi-Limited limit 2; Limited status of six single-copy cards is legal as run; Extra Deck is 15 cards with 13 Synchro and 2 Link; Card stats and card text for all 39 distinct cards
• Inferred: Starter access probabilities (hypergeometric); Hand-trap and interaction coverage from card text; Going-first and going-second estimates; Pilotability from summon-restriction complexity
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample
• 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, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no side deck registered
