@Ignister Deck #772889 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-5 and Link-6 Cyberse boards (Firewall Dragon Darkfluid, Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon, Firewall Dragon Singularity) reached through the @Ignister Link engine (Inferred); Ash Blossom / Effect Veiler / Ghost Ogre hand-trap disruption that protects the engine until the Extra Deck lands
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon an @Ignister starter, then convert into a Link-3 to Link-5 Cyberse Link Monster; hold hand traps for the opponent's first response (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) to break the opponent's board, then rebuild through the searcher density (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion through GY Link monsters and Ignister revival effects (Allied Code Talker, Backup, Wizard) after a hand-trap or board wipe (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system: a searcher-dense @Ignister engine (P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) about 0.85) that is protected by a large hand-trap package and converts into Link-5 and Link-6 boards. Its ceiling is limited because no recorded boards exist, so combo output is judged only from card text. Only 7 of 25 usage-core cards are present, so the list is a loose variant of the archetype rather than the standard build. The deck is capped low because it is Illegal: Link Decoder is Forbidden and the Extra Deck has 17 cards against a limit of 15, and it has no Side Deck. Popularity was not credited, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal list: banlist and size violations (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 49.8, modifiers -12, capped to 30. Theoretical / structural-only score; Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · 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

• Searcher-dense engine: 16 searcher-text cards give about 0.85 chance of at least one searcher in the opening hand
• Layered interaction: 13 hand traps plus 4 hard removal or negate spells and traps
• Link-5 and Link-6 finishers (Firewall Dragon Darkfluid, Perfectron, Firewall Dragon Singularity) reached from a Cyberse Link engine

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Link Decoder is Forbidden and the Extra Deck is 17 cards against a 15-card limit
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Only 28% of usage-core cards are present, so the list diverges from the archetype standard
• 21 tech-tagged cards and 29 single copies lower consistency

Critical choke points

• The Link-3 or Link-4 engine starter is a 3-copy card path, so an early hand-trap exchange can leave the deck with no live Extra Deck route
• Dependence on Extra Deck link summons means one negated Link Monster can stall the whole plan

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Link Decoder is Forbidden with 1 copy run; Extra Deck is 17 against the 15-card limit (legality); Main 53, Side 0; 16 searcher-text cards; 13 hand-trap-tagged cards (composition); Ash Blossom is Semi-Limited and run at 2 copies, which is legal (legality)
• Inferred: Engine accessibility of about 0.85 searcher access in opening hand (hypergeometric); Hand-trap and recursion resilience from card text; Going-second hand-trap strength from card text; Brick risk about 0.34 from the core-group proxy
• 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 exists in YGOVN no Side Deck, so the post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
