Ashened Deck #772921 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Mechanic: Fusion/Link/Xyz
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Field-Zone Obsidim enables Ashened Pyro boards (Priestess, Hero, King, Spearhead, Shaman) and Pyro Fusions (Veidos the Dragon of Endless Darkness, Embers of the Ashened) that attack through 2900-3000 ATK bodies; Super Starslayer TY-PHON - Sky Crisis and Nibiru-based boards once the opponent has summoned five or more monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Activate Awakening of Veidos or Obsidim to place the Field Zone card, then Special Summon Priestess or Hero from hand and extend into a Pyro Fusion or Xyz
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird and Nibiru to interrupt the opponent's first combo, then rebuild the Obsidim field from GY and deck
• Recovery: Recursion from GY and banish: Obsidim returns to the bottom of the Deck for a draw, Ashened to Endlessness and Extinguishing the Ashened re-fetch Pyro monsters
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This OCG Ashened list is illegal as submitted: it runs 3 copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Super Polymerization against a limit of 2, so it is capped and scored as a theoretical, structural-only read. The engine's starter is Obsidim, the Ashened City, with only about a 34% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Awakening of Veidos and Priestess help, but many Ashened monsters require Obsidim in the Field Zone, which keeps the consistency score moderate. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird and Nibiru give several layers of negation (Inferred from card text). No combos were recorded, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference, and no tournament or matchup data exists. The score comes from the system's consistency, interaction and compactness, not from the Ashened archetype's popularity or from averaging individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure: copy limit exceeded (-9); dependence on Field-Zone Obsidim (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 49.6, then Illegal cap with modifiers = 38

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Layered negation package across hand traps and Quick-Play effects
• Compact Main Deck with 3-copy staples and a coherent Ashened core
• Recursion of Obsidim and Pyro monsters from the GY and banish zone

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization
• Field-Zone Obsidim dependency lowers the opening-hand starter rate
• Extra Deck mixes Charmer, Venom and off-archetype Links, which may dilute engine coherence

Critical choke points

• Obsidim, the Ashened City must be live in the Field Zone for most Pyro summons
• Awakening of Veidos is the main alternate route to Obsidim

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is 40 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side, within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed their Semi-Limited limit of 2; Awakening of Veidos x3, Obsidim x3, Priestess x3 and Ash Blossom x3 in the Main Deck; No Side Deck, no combos recorded, no tournament link
• Inferred: Obsidim opening-hand access is about 34% (hypergeometric); Interaction density from the negation and hand-trap card text; Veidos Endless Darkness and TY-PHON as closing threats from their ATK values
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit, since no dated metagame sample exists
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second or matchups Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no Side Deck, so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed Deck title is null in the export
