Blackwings Deck #773005 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Tempo, 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: Synchro beatdown from Blackwing Synchro monsters (Full Armor Master, Silverwind, Boreastorm, Nothung) and the Black-Winged Assault / Dis Pater / Chaos Angel boards; Bystial and Chaos Angel boards as backup closers if Blackwing lines are interrupted
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Blackwing searcher or tuner (Sudri, Vata, Simoon, Black Whirlwind, Small World), reach a Synchro with Blackwing tuner plus non-tuner, and protect the board with hand traps (Ash Blossom, D.D. Crow, Infinite Impermanence)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps to answer the opponent's first board, then turn to a Synchro or Cosmic Cyclone / Lightning Storm to clear backrow and monsters
• Recovery: Recycle banished and GY Blackwing monsters through Blackwing - Twin Shadow, Zephyros, and Black Feather Whirlwind; rebuild a Synchro from the GY
• After siding: Not applicable as printed: side deck is empty, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck is capped low because it is illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2. Structurally it is a Blackwing Midrange shell with a real Synchro engine (Full Armor Master, Silverwind, Boreastorm, Nothung) and a dense interaction suite (12 hand traps, 24 removal-text cards, 11 negation-text cards), which earns the interaction and closing dimensions. Consistency is moderate: the archetype core has P(at least one in opening 5) of about 0.81 (Inferred), but 20 zero-level spells and traps and a 55-card main with only 30 distinct cards add brick and redundancy risk. No combo boards, tournament data, or side deck exist, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and the side-deck and meta dimensions are Provisional. The score was not produced by averaging card scores or by Blackwings' popularity; the usage stats only show the list is the standard core.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with the Toolbox weights for the interaction and side dimensions; no profile is pure. Structural ≈ 54.4, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal: copy limit exceeded (-12); Banlist exposure (Limited / Semi-Limited) (0). Final formula: Structural 54.4 -> 0.80*54.4 + 0.20*45 = 52.5; modifiers -12 -> 40.5; illegal-deck cap applied -> 35 (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 hand-trap and removal suite (12 hand traps, 24 removal-text cards, 11 negation-text cards)
• Real Synchro engine with strong end-boards (Dis Pater 3500, Chaos Angel 3500, Full Armor Master 3000)
• Recursion and searcher text (Black Whirlwind, Small World, Twin Shadow, Zephyros) for rebuild

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Main deck of 55 with 20 zero-level spells and traps; utility redundancy is high and some draws will be dead
• No side deck, so no post-side plan and no adaptation to any matchup

Critical choke points

• Blackwing tuner availability: the Synchro line depends on a Blackwing tuner plus a non-tuner in hand or on the field
• Ash Blossom copy count: the deck is illegal until one copy is removed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against legal copies 2 (Illegal); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within OCG size rules (main 40-60, extra 0-15); Limited cards Bystial Druiswurm, Bystial Magnamhut, Droll & Lock Bird and S:P Little Knight are each run at 1 copy (legal); Card text and stats for each distinct card in evidence.cards; Archetype core inclusion stats (Silverwind 70.8%, Sudri/Vata 58.3%)
• Observed: No boards were recorded, so no combo observation exists
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency for Blackwing starters and the archetype core; Going-second hand-trap coverage (P>=1 in 6 ~0.79); Synchro end-board and closing power from card text; Interaction breadth from text role tags
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament or meta-share link); Going-first versus going-second balance (no win-rate telemetry)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) in YGOVN side deck is empty, so the post-side plan and D12 cannot be measured Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
