Kashtira Deck #773140 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 9 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion-summoned Hecahands and Fiendsmith boards (Hecahands Xeno, Hecahands Dandalos, Fiendsmith's Rextremende) that stay alive through Hecahands battle protection and Yad'al/Ib'al-Hecahands counter traps; Kashtira Fenrir / Kashtira Unicorn recurring boards, but the Fenrir copies are Forbidden and cannot be legally run
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a Hecahands or Fiendsmith starter (Hecahands Mankibuel reveal, Fiendsmith Engraver search, Fiendsmith's Tract) and Fusion Summon via Super Polymerization or Tract, then protect the board with Ash Blossom, Solemn Warning and Yad'al/Ib'al-Hecahands
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Solemn Warning, Solemn Judgment and Droll & Lock Bird as hand interaction against the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Hecahands Godos or Gaigas on their turn
• Recovery: Recursion through Fiendsmith Lacrima and Lacrima the Crimson Tears from the GY, and Hecahands Yadel/Mankibuel returning from the GY or Deck
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists in the list

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG: it runs a Forbidden card (Kashtira Fenrir x2), seven cards over their copy limits, 17 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card maximum, and no Side Deck, so it is scored structurally and capped at 30 rather than given a normal final score. The structural read comes from the system: a searcher-dense engine (16 searcher-text cards, about 85% chance of at least one starter in an opening five) that reliably reaches live Hecahands and Fiendsmith boards, backed by seven hand traps and nine negation-text cards that give it real interaction density. The main weaknesses are the copy-limit and Extra Deck violations, a 0.38 chance that the nine-copy archetype core is absent from a five-card hand, and no median or floor combo data, so output is text-inferred only. Archetype popularity and the Kashtira name did not earn points, and the score did not come from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 54.3, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); copy_limit_and_extra_size_illegal (-2); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical structural cap at 30 (normal formula 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 39 before cap; Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · 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 searcher text (16 cards) makes starters reliable to find
• Seven hand traps and nine negation-text cards provide layered interaction
• Hecahands battle-protection bodies and counter traps give resilient boards
• Extra Deck has high-ATK closers (Hecahands Xeno, Chaos Angel)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir x2 and seven copy-limit violations
• Extra Deck of 17 exceeds the 15-card maximum
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Only 7.1% of cards are exact-name Kashtira, so the engine is split across Hecahands, Fiendsmith and others

Critical choke points

• Fiendsmith Engraver and Fiendsmith's Tract are the only legal-copy-limited engine starters
• Super Polymerization (legal 2) is the main Fusion enabler, so losing access to it stalls the Fusion-heavy Extra Deck

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Forbidden status of Kashtira Fenrir; Copy-limit violations (seven cards); Extra Deck count 17 > 15; Side count 0; Card text and stats from the evidence pack
• Observed: Usage: Ash Blossom 80% and Mulcharmy Fuwalos 62.9% archetype inclusion
• Inferred: Starter consistency (≈0.85 searcher, ≈0.62 core), brick estimate, going-first/second split, interaction density, ceiling from text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup/format fit
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck present, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
