Deck — Deck Power Evaluation
Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)
| Overall score | Value |
|---|---|
| Structural Deck Power | 52 |
| Going First | 50 |
| Going Second | 52 |
| Meta Power | provisional |
| Tournament Reliability | 45 |
- Primary strategy: Midrange
- Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Tempo
- Format: ocg
Legality
Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Vanquish Soul monsters recycled through hand-revealed Special Summons and Stake your Soul! into Extra Deck Xyz/Link bosses; Extra Deck boss monsters (Veidos, Caesar Valius, Heavy Borger, Dogoran) that attack through a disrupted board
- Turn 1 (going first): Open on the 20 Vanquish Soul core and the Vanquish Soul searchers, then convert with Stake your Soul! or Vanquish Soul Dr. Mad Love into a Link or Xyz boss (Inferred from card text)
- Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C and K9-66a Jokul style interaction to disrupt the opponent's first board before the Vanquish Soul engine resumes (Inferred from card text)
- Recovery: Re-Special Summon Vanquish Soul monsters from the GY through Vanquish Soul - Continue? and Vanquish Soul, Start! (Inferred from card text)
- After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated
Why it scores here
The deck opens the Vanquish Soul core (20 exact-name copies) in roughly 91% of opening 5-card hands, so the engine is accessible on paper (Inferred from the hypergeometric estimate). Its strength is structural: searchers and hand-revealed Special Summons give it redundancy, and its Extra Deck Xyz/Link bosses provide closing pressure. The score is held down by a low archetype purity of 28.6%, which mixes K9, Metalmorph, Kaiju, Greed and Bystial pieces into one 55-card list, and by the absence of any combo or tournament evidence. The deck is also Illegal because it runs one copy of the Forbidden K9-04 Noroi, so the final score is capped and the evaluation is structural-only. No card scores were averaged; the score reflects the system as a whole.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 62 | P(at least one Vanquish Soul core card in 5-card hand) ~0.91; 20 exact-name copies (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 55 | 21 searcher-text cards and 14 removal-text cards give most hands a playable line, but mixed-archetype pieces create some dead draws (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 50 | No parseable boards, so ceiling is a text-only read of boss monsters and Stake your Soul! value (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No recorded boards to measure median output; text-only floor estimate (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 55 | Three hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, K9-66a Jokul line) and multiple recursion routes give some redundancy (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | Searchers and Special Summon recursion through the GY support a rebuild, though the Metalmorph and K9 pieces need specific materials (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 55 | Veidos, Dogoran and Snow Devil provide removal and face-up interaction across several zones (Inferred from card text) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 55 | Maxx C, Ash Blossom and Jokul provide going-second interaction, but there is no going-second split data (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 62 | Caesar Valius (3000 ATK), Heavy Borger (2500), Dogoran (3000) and Zeus (3000) give boss-level closing power (Verified card stats) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 48 | Main Deck has 36 distinct cards with 23 singletons and only 28.6% exact-name archetype purity, which dilutes the engine (Verified composition) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 60 | Extra Deck has 10 Xyz and 5 Link monsters, which are mostly archetype-linked and cover multiple boss options (Verified composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 10 | No Side Deck registered, so no post-side adaptability can be evaluated (Verified, zero side cards) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | Only archetype-level usage stats are present and no dated metagame sample, so matchup fit is provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Multi-archetype sequencing (Vanquish Soul, K9, Metalmorph, Kaiju) is demanding for a player to repeat reliably (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (Forbidden card run) (-10); legality cap (-11). Final formula: Illegal deck: uncapped 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) - 10 banlist modifier = ~41, capped to 30 as theoretical/structural-only (Meta provisional)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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
- 20-copy archetype core is reliably accessible in opening hands
- Redundant searchers and recursion routes
- Multiple Extra Deck boss options with 2500 to 3000 ATK
Weaknesses
- Illegal: K9-04 Noroi (Forbidden) is run
- Low archetype purity (28.6%) across K9, Metalmorph, Kaiju, Greed and Bystial pieces
- No Side Deck
Critical choke points
- Dependence on Vanquish Soul monsters being in hand to enable Special Summons
- Forbidden K9-04 Noroi must be removed before the list is legal
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | K9-04 Noroi | A legal Vanquish Soul or K9 card | The deck is illegal and cannot be evaluated normally until the Forbidden card is removed |
| 2 | Pot of Sloth | A Vanquish Soul searcher or Special Summon enabler | Off-archetype draw spell reduces engine density |
| 3 | Off-archetype Metalmorph and Galaxy-Eyes pieces | Core Vanquish Soul monsters | Raises purity and engine consistency |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legality: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; K9-04 Noroi Forbidden with 1 copy run; Copy limits: all Limited and Semi-Limited cards run within legal copies; Archetype purity 28.6%; 20 exact-name Vanquish Soul copies; Composition counts: 3 hand traps, 21 searchers, 14 removal, 10 Xyz, 5 Link
- Inferred: Engine accessibility P(at least one core card in 5) ~0.91; Midrange/Toolbox classification from composition and card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
- Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no dated meta sample)
- 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 Side Deck registered no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
