Blackwings Deck #773078 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro or Xyz boss (Black-Winged Assault Dragon, Blackwing Full Armor Master, Raidraptor - Ultimate Falcon) reached through hand-summoned Blackwing tuners; Direct damage and piercing from Blackwing - Bora the Spear and Blackwing - Nothung the Starlight
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Sudri or Simoon, search Black Whirlwind or Small World for a second Blackwing, then special-summon a Tuner from hand to reach a Level 8 to 10 Synchro
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird) answer the opponent's first engine, then Blackwing hand-summons rebuild the board
• Recovery: Blackwing monsters recur from GY and banish through Black Feather Whirlwind, Shamal and Blackbird Close; Raigeki and Harpie's Feather Duster serve as reset tools
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan to evaluate

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as built: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run three times against an OCG limit of two, so it is capped low and scored as structural only. Within that structure, the Blackwing core reliably opens a hand-summoned starter (about 92% for at least one core card in a 5-card opening, Inferred) and several Blackwing monsters can be Special Summoned from hand, which supports the Midrange engine. Seven hand traps and several searchers give going-second interaction, and the Extra Deck offers high-ATK bosses (3000 to 3500 ATK) for the closing turns. Floor and median output are unmeasured because the deck has no recorded boards, so the score rests on the card text and the hypergeometric estimates, not on observed results. Archetype popularity and the usage-stat match did not earn points, and the score was built from the deck's system properties, not by averaging card scores. With no side deck and a mixed Phantom Knights, Raidraptor, Harpie and Synchron shell, consistency and side adaptability stay weak.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (profile weights used as Midrange only; secondary not blended into the numbers). Structural ≈ 57.7, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 0.80*57.7 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 43.2; Illegal copy-limit cap applied, final = 35

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is dense (15 copies) and reaches a starter in a 5-card hand about 92% of the time (Inferred)
• Seven hand traps, including three Ash Blossom, support going-second interaction
• Several Blackwing monsters Special Summon from hand, so the engine does not need a dead-card starter
• Extra Deck boss monsters reach 2800 to 3500 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against an OCG limit of 2
• No side deck, so no post-side plan
• Mixed archetype shell (Phantom Knights, Raidraptor, Harpie, Archfiend, Synchron) lowers engine coherence
• No recorded combos or win-rate data to validate the floor

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom copy count: the list cannot be played as built until one copy is removed
• Blackwing tuner availability for Synchro summons in the opening hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 against OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies, legal 2 (over limit); Droll & Lock Bird and Harpie's Feather Duster at Limited with 1 copy each; Blackwing core probability 0.919 for at least one card in a 5-card opening hand
• Inferred: Starter reliability from hypergeometric odds and hand-summon text; Hand-trap and negation density from card text; Interaction quality and ceiling from card text (no recorded boards)
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated meta sample); Going-second split and matchup fit
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) No side deck registered, so D12 and any post-side plan cannot be measured Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
