Light and Darkness Ritual Deck #772872 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Angelechy Synchro boards (Seneschal, Legatia, Chaos Angel, Shatranga) summoned off Angelechy continuous-spell support, with Hyperion and Maple Maiden as extra pressure; Direct attacks and board breaking through Centur-Ion Legatia and Chaos Angel's banish effects
• Turn 1 (going first): Open an Angelechy starter (Strategy Score, Problem, Opening to e4, or Opposition), pull the Extra Deck Synchro through the Angelechy continuous-spell chain, and protect the board with Dominus Purge and Ghost Ogre
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Nibiru and Ghost Ogre for hand-trap interaction on the opponent's summon, then take the turn with a Synchro from Angelechy support
• Recovery: Angelechy Brilliant Move and Angelechy Destrier recover the Extra Deck Synchro and banish-based interaction, while Foolish Burial Goods and Pot of Desires refill the hand
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Twelve Angelechy starter copies in a 56-card Main Deck give roughly a 72% chance of at least one starter in a going-first opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric), so the engine is reachable on turn 1 in most hands. Its interaction density is the strongest part of the list: 13 hand traps and 17 negation-text cards cover the opponent's summons and searches, which earns the end-board and going-second scores. Synchro closing power is real (Legatia, Chaos Angel, Shatranga and Seneschal all sit at 3000 ATK or higher), but the deck has no recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are text-only inferences and kept near the middle. The score is capped by the legality failure: four cards exceed their OCG copy limits, which earns the banlist modifier and an Illegal status. Usage data shows the archetype core (Magician of Dark Chaos, Black Luster Soldier, Black Chaos) is absent, and popularity was not credited.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); illegal-deck cap applied: -12 banlist modifier brings 52 to 40

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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 interaction: 13 hand traps, 17 negation-text cards and 27 removal-text cards
• Synchro closing power at 3000+ ATK across several Extra Deck options
• Extra Deck is used efficiently by the Angelechy engine

Weaknesses

• Four cards over OCG copy limits; the list is Illegal as submitted
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low archetype purity (0% exact name) and absence of the archetype's core cards
• Many non-monsters in the Main Deck lower compactness and raise brick risk

Critical choke points

• Angelechy starters are the only engine entry point; without one, the Extra Deck Synchros do not come online
• The Synchro summon needs a tuner in hand or field, and tuners are only 10 of 56 cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Four cards exceed OCG copy limits (legality check); Deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0); Card stats and text for every listed card; Usage stats show the archetype core is absent (Magician of Dark Chaos, Black Luster Soldier, Black Chaos)
• Inferred: Going-first starter reliability of about 72% from the hypergeometric estimate; Interaction quality from text and hand-trap counts; Going-second hand-trap density of about 81%
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated sample); Matchup coverage (D13)
• 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; going-first, going-second and matchup signals are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null; name taken from archetype no guides attached to the archetype
