K9 Deck #773217 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (K9-X Werewolf, Elfnote June Pride, Dark Magician of Destruction, Gallant Bandit line) built on a Spellbook/Charmer/Elfnote engine, with off-archetype hand traps protecting the first turn; Fusion and Link bosses from the Charmer and Spellbook packages, which only matter if the Forbidden extra-deck cards are removed and the list is re-legalised
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a searcher (Elfnote Lucina, Spellbook Magician of Prophecy, Elfnote Regina/Fortuna, K9-66a Jokul), set up a Level 5 or Charmer Xyz/Fusion route, and hold Solemn Judgment, Maxx C or Ash Blossom for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C) to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild with searchers; interaction density matters more than the combo line
• Recovery: Ghost Belle, Ash Blossom and the Spellbook searchers give repeatable card flow after a single-card disruption; recursion through Awakening of the Possessed and Elfnote Welcome Home fills the gap
• After siding: Not evaluable: Side Deck size is 0, so there is no post-side plan in the list

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards, and it is capped because five Forbidden Extra Deck cards (Charmer Quartet in Bloom, Reprodocus, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon, Baronne de Fleur) make the list illegal in OCG. Its reliable part is the access layer: 22 searcher-text cards give about a 92% chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5, and the 11 hand traps and Solemn Judgment give strong interaction on the going-second side. Its weak part is coherence: only 5 of 72 archetype copies are exact K9 cards (6.9% exact-name purity), and the rest is a loose mix of Charmer, Spellbook, Elfnote, Possessed and Dark Magician, so the engines do not share a single conversion route. No combo boards exist in the evidence, so conversion and median output are text-only inferences, and popularity or archetype stats did not earn any points. The score is therefore a theoretical structural read only, capped at 25 because the list cannot be played as built.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary with Stun as a secondary read; the Stun weight was not applied as a separate blend. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-10); Engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*51 + 0.20*40 - 12 = 28.8, then capped at 25 because the deck is Illegal (Meta Provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Searcher density gives reliable access to a starter (P 0.92 for at least one searcher in a 5-card hand)
• Eleven hand traps plus Solemn Judgment, Mind Mirror Force and Maxx C give strong interaction on the going-second side
• Ghost Belle and Ash Blossom give repeatable answers, so the deck can absorb one disruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: five Forbidden Extra Deck cards
• Very low exact archetype purity (6.9%); the deck is a loose mix of sub-archetypes
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No combo evidence, so conversion and median output cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• The Extra Deck is the only source of bosses, and two of the five illegal cards are the strongest extra-deck options
• No side deck means every matchup is played with the same main-deck interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 5 Forbidden cards over limit; main 57 and extra 15 are within size rules; Card text for all listed cards comes from the evidence excerpts; Searcher-text copies (22) and hand-trap copies (11) from composition
• Inferred: Starter access probability (0.92) and other hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density, recovery and brick-risk reads from card text; Going-first and going-second read from hand-trap density
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (D13) and tournament reliability (no dated sample, no tournament link); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck Meta Power is Provisional: no dated metagame sample No side deck, so no post-side evaluation Data inconsistency: K9-X Werewolf (90303227) appears in the card list with 1 copy, but usage statistics marks it in this deck false and lists it in missing core cards; the list may be stale
