Swordsoul Deck #773001 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Swordsoul Synchro boss (Grandmaster - Chixiao, Sinister Sovereign - Qixing Longyuan, Supreme Sovereign - Chengying) backed by Swordsoul Token and Wyrm recursion; secondary Albaz Dragon Fusion boss line (Mirrorjade, Rindbrumm, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma)
• Turn 1 (going first): Swordsoul Emergence or Swordsoul Sacred Summit for a Swordsoul/Wyrm, Swordsoul of Mo Ye or Swordsoul of Taia to create a Swordsoul Token, then Synchro Summon through Tuner from the Extra Deck; theoretical, not verified against recorded boards
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) to answer the first opponent's summon or activation, then convert into a Synchro boss from the Extra Deck; theoretical
• Recovery: Swordsoul Emergence and Swordsoul Blackout banish-effect Token and Level-change recovery; Fallen of Albaz to Fusion path via Blazing Cartesia; inferred from card text only
• After siding: Not evaluated: side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and The Fallen & The Virtuous are each run 3 times against an OCG Semi-Limited limit of 2, so the rubric caps the score and this is a theoretical, structural-only read. Its engine access is moderate: the archetype core of 3 copies gives P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.25, but the searcher text group of 8 cards gives about 0.56, which keeps the engine reachable on most starts (Inferred). The 13 hand-trap and negation cards give strong going-second interaction, with P(at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand) about 0.82 (Inferred), and the end-board interaction reads as above average. The score does not come from the popularity of Swordsoul: there is no combo evidence, no win-rate data, and no side deck, so the combo floor, median and ceiling are all text-based estimates, and the usage stat shows the Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying core card is missing. The score is built on the deck as a system (consistency, interaction, and extra-deck coverage) rather than an average of its card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary (structural weights only, D13 treated as provisional). Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: Final = min(0.80*Structural(49) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + Modifiers(-4), 35) = 35; theoretical/structural-only, Meta Power provisional

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

• Broad hand-trap and negation suite (13 hand-trap-tagged cards) gives strong going-second interaction
• Searcher text density (8 cards) makes the engine reachable more often than the 3-copy core alone suggests
• Extra Deck covers two independent boss lines (Swordsoul Synchro and Albaz Fusion)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two cards over the copy limit
• No side deck, so no post-side plan and no adaptability
• Core Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying absent despite high archetype usage
• High off-archetype count (24.3 percent exact-name purity) makes engine coherence unclear

Critical choke points

• Single Synchro/Fusion boss copies in the Extra Deck
• Starter access through 3-copy archetype core (P about 0.25 in opening hand)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 3 copies each of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and The Fallen & The Virtuous vs OCG limit of 2; Composition: 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Copy histogram 10 x1, 9 x2, 9 x3; Restricted Limited/Semi-Limited status for 7 cards; Archetype usage: Infinite Impermanence 55.6 percent, Chengying 55.6 percent (missing)
• Observed: No recorded boards; combo data total 0
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand odds (0.25 core, 0.56 searcher, 0.82 hand-trap going second); Interaction density and board-breaking reads from card text; Synchro/Fusion line feasibility from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame or tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: 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/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power provisional without dated metagame sample Side deck empty: post-side evaluation impossible Title is null in the export
