Deck — Deck Power Evaluation
Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)
| Overall score | Value |
|---|---|
| Structural Deck Power | 56 |
| Going First | 52 |
| Going Second | 62 |
| Meta Power | provisional |
| Tournament Reliability | 50 |
- Primary strategy: Midrange
- Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Stun
- Format: ocg
Legality
Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion or Link boss (Darklord Eveningstar, Darklord Morningstar, Underworld Goddess) established after hand-trap protection of the starter line; Darklord Ixchel / Gulgolet recursion-driven beatdown
- Turn 1 (going first): Open a Darklord starter (Djehuty / Gulgolet / Banishment), protect with Ash Blossom or Ghost Belle, then Darklord Dance into a Fusion boss
- Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's starter (Ash Blossom, Herald, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird), then rebuild through GY recursion (Darklord Contact, Fallen Angel in Darkness)
- Recovery: Recover from the GY via Darklord Contact, Fallen Angel in Darkness and Banishment of the Darklords; Forbidden Droplet and Forbidden Crown as backup negation
- After siding: No side deck registered; post-side plan cannot be evaluated
Why it scores here
The deck's score comes from the system, not from card averages or from Darklord's popularity. Its strongest feature is interaction density: roughly a dozen hand traps and negation spells (Ash Blossom, Herald, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment, Forbidden Droplet/Chalice/Crown) give it a credible going-second plan, which lifts D7 and D8. Opening access to the Darklord core is reasonable (about 0.92 probability of at least one core card in the opening hand of five, Inferred), but only 32.9% of the main deck is exact-name Darklord, with 47 off-archetype copies, so the engine is diluted and bricks are a real risk (D2, D10). Closing power is credible through 3000-ATK fusion and link bosses, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The deck is Illegal: three cards exceed their copy limits (Ash Blossom, Herald of Orange Light, Super Polymerization), so it receives no normal Final Contextual score and is capped to a structural-only read. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 58 | P(at least one core Darklord card in opening 5) ≈ 0.92 for the 21-copy core group; 3-copy singletons ≈ 0.25 each (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 50 | About 47 off-archetype copies and 13 hand traps increase dead-card risk in openers; no full-brick data (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 55 | No parseable combo boards; ceiling read from text of Darklord Dance into Eveningstar/Morningstar/Ixchel (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 45 | No recorded boards; median output not measurable and set conservatively (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 60 | Recursion via Darklord Contact, Fallen Angel in Darkness and Banishment, plus multiple negation routes (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | Recursion from GY and Ixchel draw effects offset spending; no resource-signature data (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 78 | Dense hand traps and negation spells across Quick Effect and Spell/Trap activations; strong layered interaction (Inferred semantic read from card text) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 70 | Hand traps are strongest on the going-second turn; board-breaking via Forbidden Crown and Droplet (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 68 | 3000-ATK Eveningstar and Morningstar, 2500-ATK Ixchel, 3000-ATK Underworld Goddess available in Extra Deck (Verified stats, Inferred conversion) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 50 | 55 Main cards with 27 distinct; 12 singletons and only 32.9% exact-name archetype purity reduce coherence (Verified composition, Inferred impact) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 60 | Extra Deck of 15 with 13 distinct cards mixes Fusion and Link bosses; two copies each of the strongest Darklord fusions (Verified composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 15 | No side deck registered (Side Deck size 0); post-side adaptability cannot be assessed (Provisional) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No dated metagame or tournament link; neutral placeholder (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 45 | Many branching decision points and multiple Quick Effect windows raise pilot skill requirements (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Toolbox. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); off_archetype_dilution (-3); illegal_cap (-9). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then Illegal cap applied (structural-only, copy-limit violations)
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
- Dense, layered interaction: about 13 hand traps plus negation spells
- Strong going-second posture from hand-trap density
- Credible Extra Deck closing power with 3000-ATK bosses
- Recursion routes (Darklord Contact, Fallen Angel in Darkness, Banishment) support resilience
Weaknesses
- Deck is Illegal: three cards over copy limits
- Low exact-name archetype purity (32.9%) dilutes the engine
- No side deck registered
- No recorded boards, so combo floor and median are unmeasured
Critical choke points
- Single Darklord starter per hand (about 0.25 per 3-copy singleton in opening 5)
- Hand-trap dependence on going second
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One copy of Herald of Orange Light (and one of Ash Blossom, one of Super Polymerization) | Legal-copy slots (e.g., Darklord staples or a second non-restricted hand trap) | Clears the copy-limit violations so the list can be scored normally |
| 2 | Off-archetype staples with low synergy (Triple Tactics Thrust, Forbidden Chalice) | Exact-name Darklord cards | Raises archetype purity and engine consistency (D1, D10) |
| 3 | None | A registered 15-card side deck | Enables post-side evaluation (D12) and matchup adaptation |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 within OCG size rules; Three copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom, Herald of Orange Light, Super Polymerization); Exact-name archetype purity 32.9%, 23 of 70 archetype-related copies; Card stats and text for listed cards
- Observed: Usage stats: Darklord core inclusion (Djehuty 92.6%, Morningstar 88.9%)
- Inferred: P(at least one core card in opening 5) ≈ 0.92; Interaction density and going-second posture; Brick and dilution risk; Structural score 56 from weighted dimensions
- Provisional: Meta Power (null); D13 matchup and format fit (neutral placeholder); D12 side adaptability (no side deck)
- 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 — post-side evaluation impossible Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
