Charmer Deck #773113 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Board pressure from Link/Xyz boss monsters (Sacred Fire King Garunix, Fire King High Avatar Garunix, Garunix Eternity, Tri-Brigade Shuraig) after Fire King and Tri-Brigade engine turns; Tri-Brigade Link chains from GY banished Beast-type monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fire King or Tri-Brigade starter with Fire Formation - Tenki or Fire King Island/Sanctuary, then extend into a Link or Xyz boss; no hand-trap protection on turn 1 beyond Ash Blossom and Droll-style cards
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Evenly Matched, Solemn Judgment and Droll & Lock Bird to slow the opponent's summons, then rebuild through Tri-Brigade GY recursion
• Recovery: Fire King Sanctuary and Sacred Fire King Garunix recur from the GY; Tri-Brigade Kitt and Fraktall recur Beast-type monsters to re-Link
• After siding: Not evaluable: 0 Side Deck cards are run, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is illegal: three copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, The Fallen & The Virtuous, Solemn Warning at 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2) put it under the rubric's theoretical/structural-only cap, so the score is capped at 30 rather than given a normal contextual score. Structurally the deck runs at least four engines (Fire King, Tri-Brigade, Mulcharmy and a splash of Branded/Greed/Yummy/Ecclesia) with only one Charmer card despite the Charmer label, so the consistency read is weak. Its strongest signal is interaction density: 10 hand traps and 37 removal-text cards give it real answers on the opponent's turn, especially going second (P(at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand) is about 0.71, Inferred). The engine conflicts (Mulcharmy's 'if you control no cards' condition versus the Fire King and Tri-Brigade board plays) and a 0-card Side Deck pull the score down. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype usage data only confirms the Fire King and Tri-Brigade cores are real, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: copy-limit violations (-4); engine conflicts (-4); no side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck, theoretical/structural only: uncapped 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + modifiers(-10) = 36; capped at 30 for copy-limit violations. Meta Power is null/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

• Dense interaction: 10 hand traps and 37 removal-text cards, with the going-second hand-trap coverage near 0.71
• Strong end-of-turn boss Link/Xyz attackers (Garunix, Shuraig) that can close a game once a Fire King or Tri-Brigade line lands
• Real recursion routes (Fire King Sanctuary, Garunix from GY, Tri-Brigade Kitt/Fraktall) that give some resilience after removal

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three cards run 3 copies against an OCG limit of 2
• Four engines compete for the same hand slots, with 14 singletons and 14 three-ofs
• Charmer label does not match the content: exact-name purity is 1.4% and only one Charmer card (Hiita) is present
• Mulcharmy's 'control no cards' condition conflicts with board-based Fire King and Tri-Brigade lines
• No Side Deck; best-of-3 adaptation is absent
• No combo boards, guides or tournament data to test any line

Critical choke points

• Fire King Island and Fire King Sanctuary as the primary Fire King enablers; a single removal or negate on the Field Spell breaks the Fire King line
• Tri-Brigade Link chains that depend on banished or GY Beast-type monsters, which a single Ash Blossom or Ghost Ogre response can cut
• Mulcharmy turns that need an empty field, which the Fire King and Tri-Brigade boards undermine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: three copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, The Fallen & The Virtuous, Solemn Warning); Main 56 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Side 0; Banlist statuses (Limited and Semi-Limited) for the restricted cards; Composition: 70 of 71 Main Deck copies are off the exact archetype name
• Inferred: Starter probabilities (0.2487 per 3-copy card in hand 5; core group 0.50); Hand-trap coverage (0.71 going second); Engine conflict between Mulcharmy and board-based lines; Dimension and structural scores from the card text and composition
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (D13), 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 per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry for going first, going second, matchups, or brick and starter rates No guides attached to the archetype Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null, so the 'Charmer' archetype label is the only identity signal
