Tistina Deck #773293 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 12 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tistina Extra Deck boss monsters (Tistina, the Divinity that Defies Darkness; Crystal God Tistina) that are summoned off Tistina starters and disrupt the opponent's face-down and face-up cards; Azamina Fusion pressure (Saint Azamina, Azamina Mu Rcielago) and Train Xyz beaters (Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max, Juggernaut Liebe)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Tistina starter (Fallen of the Tistina, Sentinel of the Tistina) to place Divine Domain Baatistina or search a Tistina monster, then extend into a Tistina boss; hold Ash Blossom or Ghost Belle for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll and Lock Bird, Nibiru) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Tistina searchers and Breath of the Tistina
• Recovery: Recycle Tistina monsters from the GY (Fallen, Sentinel, Miasma Dragon, Demigod) and re-search with Sentinel and Miasma Dragon; Ghost Belle and Ash Blossom also act as protection from the opponent's interaction
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan in the list

Why it scores here

The Tistina core is highly accessible: the archetype core group has a 0.98 chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and Fallen of the Tistina, the main starter, reaches about 0.34 in hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate). Nine hand traps and 15 searcher-text cards give it real interaction and recovery, and the going-second hand-trap estimate is about 0.81. The deck does not average its card scores: its score comes from the system's starter access and interaction density, reduced by a loose structure that mixes four sub-archetypes (only 36.5 percent exact-name Tistina purity) and by the absence of any side deck or combo data. Popularity was not credited; the archetype usage stats only confirm that the list is a standard build. The list is Illegal under OCG copy limits (Ash Blossom at 3 copies and S:P Little Knight at 2), so the final score is capped at 30 and the evaluation is structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (default; the strategy is a Midrange and Stun hybrid, so no single profile is clearly primary). Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-4); Engine conflicts (-4); Illegal list cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*54.5 + 0.20*45 = 52.6; modifiers total -8 gives 44.6; Illegal legality cap sets final to 30

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Archetype core is almost always present in the opening hand (0.98)
• Nine hand traps and 15 searcher-text cards give interaction and recovery
• Tistina GY recursion (Fallen, Sentinel, Miasma Dragon) gives a second route after disruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal under OCG copy limits: Ash Blossom at 3 and S:P Little Knight at 2
• Four sub-archetypes compete for slots: exact-name purity is 36.5 percent
• No side deck: no post-side plan
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference

Critical choke points

• Fallen of the Tistina as the sole go-first starter (0.34 in hand)
• Divine Domain Baatistina field-zone dependence
• Single Limited copies of Droll and Lock Bird and Gustav Max

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40 and Extra 12 are inside the OCG size rules; Ash Blossom at 3 copies is over the OCG limit of 2; S:P Little Knight at 2 copies is over the OCG limit of 1; Exact-name purity is 36.5 percent; Limited cards: Droll and Lock Bird, S:P Little Knight, Gustav Max, WANTED
• Observed: Archetype core presence (Fallen, Sentinel, Crystal God, Miasma Dragon) is at 100 percent usage in the archetype stats
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from hypergeometric estimates; Hand-trap interaction density from card text; Going-second strength from hand-trap count; Engine-conflict penalty from archetype spread
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN No side deck: post-side adaptability cannot be scored Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
