Cynet Deck #773187 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 22/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon Maliss and Bystial Link monsters (Maliss Red Ransom, Maliss White Binder, Maliss Hearts Crypter, A Bao A Qu) into board advantage and pressure; Recurring Bystial and Maliss beaters from the hand and GY with Bystial Druiswurm and Bystial Baldrake style discard and banish loops
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Maliss or Cynet starter, search or summon an engine monster, and build a Link into a board with Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence up as protection (text-only read, Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Artifact Lancea and Droll & Lock Bird as hand traps to break the opponent's first combo, then rebuild through Maliss Link monsters (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recycle Maliss monsters from the Deck and GY via Maliss in Underground, Maliss MTP-07 and Maliss CR effects, and re-summon Link monsters from the Extra Deck (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system on its legal-agnostic structure, then capped because it is illegal in OCG: five Forbidden cards and several Limited and Semi-Limited cards are run above their allowed copies, so no normal Final Contextual score applies. The Maliss core (11 copies, about 69 percent to open at least one in a 5-card hand, Inferred) gives the engine reasonable access, and the 18 hand traps give strong going-second interaction (about 92 percent to have one in a 6-card hand, Inferred). The Link Extra Deck (14 Link monsters) offers flexible late-game boards and end-board interaction, but there are no recorded combos, so ceiling and median are text-only inference and scored conservatively. The deck has no Side Deck and no tournament data, which keeps Side and Meta-related dimensions low. Popularity and usage stats confirm the archetype core is real, but they did not add points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 43, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); No side deck (-2); Engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: Final = 0.80*43 + 0.20*40 = 42.4 unclamped; modifiers total -12 gives 30.4; Illegal cap applied, so the reported score is 22 (theoretical/structural-only, Meta 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 hand-trap suite (18 cards) gives strong going-second interruption
• Maliss core is real and accessible (11 copies, about 69 percent to open at least one in 5 cards, Inferred)
• Link Extra Deck gives flexible board and interaction options

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Forbidden and over-limit cards must be cut before the list can be played
• No Side Deck (0 cards)
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median are unverified
• Split sub-archetype engine with 0 percent exact-name purity

Critical choke points

• Maliss Link monsters in the Extra Deck: without them the Maliss engine stops
• Hand traps used in the first turns: a single interruption leaves the line without a backup starter

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: Forbidden cards and copy-limit violations listed in evidence; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Archetype core inclusion and copy counts from usage stats
• Inferred: Starter and hand-trap probabilities from the hypergeometric estimates; Engine and interaction readings from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and pilot match record are absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck
