Lightsworn Deck #772975 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox
• 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: Extra Deck boss monsters (Judgment Dragon, Punishment Dragon, Enlightenment Dragon, Minerva the Exalted Lightsworn) reached through Lightsworn GY and banish recursion; Toolbox Mulcharmy draw engine and Fusion/Synchro/Xyz bodies such as Divine Dragon Knight Felgrand and Chaos Archfiend
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Lightsworn starter (Wulf, Felis, Dragonling or Weiss), search or recycle through Charge of the Light Brigade and Judgment, then Synchro or Xyz into a Minerva
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll and Lock Bird, Lightsworn Aegis or Nibiru to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through GY summons and banish recursion
• Recovery: Recover from the GY with Lumina, Lyla, Raiden, Wulf and the Judgment-to-Enlightenment chain; Mulcharmy draws on empty fields
• After siding: Not evaluable: side count is 0, so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system on the Midrange profile, with the legality cap applied: Super Polymerization is run 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2, so the list is Illegal and the 30 is a theoretical, structural-only read rather than a normal Final Contextual score. The engine is reasonably accessible, since 10 Lightsworn core copies give about a 65% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the Lightsworn searchers and recursion give the deck a real route to its Extra Deck bosses. Brick management is weak: 22 generic copies, 16 tech cards and 45 off-archetype copies (only 35.7% exact-name purity) mean many opening hands will be redundant or dead. Interaction is the deck's strongest area, with 13 removal-text cards, 6 negation-text cards and 7 hand traps (Inferred), while there is no sideboard and no combo, matchup or meta evidence, so the consistency and matchup claims are estimates. Popularity and archetype usage were not counted as power, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 47, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); illegal legality cap (-14). Final formula: Structural 49 → 0.80·49 + 0.20·42 = 47.6 (no-meta formula; Meta provisional); −4 banlist-exposure modifier → 43.6; Illegal legality cap → 30 (theoretical, structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 suite: removal, negation and hand traps (Lightning Storm, Evenly Matched, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru, Lightsworn Aegis)
• Strong Extra Deck boss options across Synchro, Xyz, Fusion and Link
• Lightsworn recursion and searchers give some rebuild capacity

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count of Super Polymerization (3 vs 2)
• High off-archetype and tech density (45 off-archetype copies, 16 tech) raises brick risk
• No sideboard, so no post-side adaptability
• No combo or tournament evidence to confirm real-world output

Critical choke points

• Lightsworn starter access: about a 65% chance of a core copy in hand, so a missed starter leaves dead cards
• Lightsworn GY count required for Judgment Dragon and Enlightenment Dragon summons

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Super Polymerization is 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2 (Semi-Limited); Droll and Lock Bird and S:P Little Knight are Limited at 1 copy each, which is legal; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side is 0 within the 0–15 range; Composition: 26 distinct main cards, 45 off-archetype copies, 35.7% exact-name purity; Usage: Solar Recharge is a core card in this deck; Wulf and Charge of the Light Brigade are present
• Inferred: Starter access ≈ 0.65 for the Lightsworn core group; Brick and redundancy risk is elevated due to generic and tech density; Interaction density is high based on text roles; Going-first and going-second strengths are estimates from text and probability only
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample is supplied; Matchup fit is unknown with no tournament context
• 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No sideboard (Side Deck size 0): post-side evaluation is not possible
