Mikanko Deck #772893 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 36/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Mikanko Equip-based board presence with Kaiju and Xyz/Link boss monsters from the Extra Deck, as far as the list's structure allows; no recorded boards to confirm it.; Generic Extra Deck bosses (Thunder King, Jizukiru, Dogoran, Super Starslayer TY-PHON, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS) reached through Kaiju and Mikanko summons.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Mikanko starter (Ohime, Hu-Li, Ha-Re, Water Arabesque or Noble Twins), equip it through Mikanko Spell/Trap engines, then use Ultimate Slayer, Heat Wave, Different Dimension Ground or Solemn cards to protect the first summon (Inferred, no recorded boards).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Forbidden Droplet, Harpie's Feather Duster, Raigeki or Lightning Storm to clear the opponent's board, then rebuild through Mikanko equips (Inferred).
• Recovery: Recursion from Mikanko monsters returning to hand and Spell/Trap searches (Preparation of Rites, Uzuhime and Equip Spell recovery text); the limit of this route depends on the 27 Mikanko copies being in the deck, which the usage-join data does not fully confirm (Inferred).
• After siding: None. The deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan and no best-of-3 adaptation.

Why it scores here

This is a theoretical, structural-only evaluation because the list is illegal: it runs 3 copies of Solemn Warning against an OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2, so no normal Final Contextual score applies and the result is capped low. The 36 comes from structure alone: the 27 Mikanko core copies give a high chance (about 0.97 in a 5-card opening, Inferred) of opening at least one archetype card, and the 21 removal-text and 9 negation-text cards give the list real interaction density. Consistency and output are held back by a low exact-name purity of 34.3% (46 off-archetype copies spread across Kaiju, Solemn, Tri-Brigade, Harpie, Greed, Forbidden and others), 20 singleton main-deck slots, and no parseable recorded boards, so the median and ceiling could not be measured. Going-second and side-deck scores are weak because the deck has no Side Deck. Archetype popularity (usage stats) confirms the list is real and accessible, but it did not earn points; no card-level scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary with Midrange secondary; the Toolbox profile is used as the single weight set for the Structural score. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (cap) (-6); No Side Deck (-4); Engine dilution across sub-archetypes (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(50) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 48; context modifiers -12 = 36. Illegal list: theoretical/structural-only, score capped low and not a normal Final Contextual score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• High archetype access: about 0.97 chance of opening at least one Mikanko core copy in a 5-card opening (Inferred).
• Dense interaction: 21 removal-text and 9 negation-text cards, with Solemn Judgment, Raigeki, Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster providing answers to boards (Verified text).
• Multiple recursion and restart routes through Mikanko monsters and Preparation of Rites (Inferred).

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Solemn Warning copy count exceeds the OCG Semi-Limited limit.
• Low engine purity (34.3%) with off-archetype copies spread across several sub-archetypes.
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation.
• No recorded boards, so the ceiling and median cannot be verified.
• Many singleton and tech slots raise the brick and dead-card risk.

Critical choke points

• Starter access depends on Mikanko monsters being drawn; the 0.97 figure assumes the core count is correct, and the usage join does not confirm all core copies.
• Illegal copy count on Solemn Warning must be fixed before the list can be scored as legal.
• A single Mikanko starter removed by a hand-trap or negation has no backup starter in the list (Inferred).

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Solemn Warning 3 copies vs OCG Semi-Limited limit 2 (Illegal).; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; OCG size rules met (40 to 60 main, 0 to 15 extra).; Interaction text: removal_text 21, negation_text 9, searcher_text 13.; Archetype purity 34.3% (24 exact Mikanko copies of 70).; Usage: 22 core-stat rows; 16 of 22 present; 6 missing core cards listed.
• Observed: Usage statistics confirm the list matches the archetype's common core (72.7% core present).
• Inferred: Mikanko starter access ~0.97 in a 5-card opening (hypergeometric over 27 copies).; Brick risk and dead-card risk from singletons and off-archetype slots.; Going-first and going-second plans from card text only (no recorded boards).; Interaction quality from text plus the Solemn and Raigeki-type effects.
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link.; Tournament Reliability (40): estimated from brick risk, no side, and single-choke-point lines.
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference (total_combos = 0). No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent. No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied. Usage-join inconsistency: Uzuhime the Manifested Mikanko (57566760) and Elder Entity N'tss (80532587) appear in the Extra Deck card list but are marked in_this_deck false in usage_statistics. Mikanko Kagura (16310544), a core usage card at 62.5%, is absent from the list. No Side Deck data, so D12 and best-of-3 adaptation are unscored beyond the zero-side floor. Deck title is null; the deck is identified only by its archetype and id.
