Shaddoll Deck #773377 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 48/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon a high-ATK boss (Chimera 3300, Grapha 3200, Arthalion 3000, Rulkallos 3000) from Extra, supported by Shaddoll flip removal and Shaddoll Schism to clear the opposing board.; Shaddoll Winda and El Shaddoll Apkallone as lock and negate pieces that keep the opponent off Extra Deck summons.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fusion starter (Shaddoll Fusion, Polymerization, Lev Shaddoll Fusion, Ketu or Rahu Dracotail) or a searcher, Fusion Summon a boss, and hold Maxx C and Dragon's Mind as backup interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Maxx C, Tearlaments Havnis or Scheiren as hand responses to the opponent's summons or effects, then convert with a Shaddoll flip removal monster and a Fusion boss.
• Recovery: Recover through Shaddoll Hedgehog and Apkallone GY effects, Dracotail Urgula placing Dracotail cards from the GY back to the Deck, and Fusion materials recycled through Shaddoll Schism.
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan. Best-of-three play is structurally unprepared.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Fusion starter on about half of openings by a hypergeometric estimate (Inferred), backed by three Shaddoll Fusion and a Polymerization-class follow-up set, and it has a decent searcher density (15 searcher-text copies, P at least one in 5 cards about 0.80). Its interaction is the strongest part: Shaddoll Squamata, Shaddoll Dragon, Helshaddoll Hollow, Tohushaddoll Grysta, Shaddoll Schism, and Apkallone give layered removal and negation on the field. Closing power is high because the Extra Deck is loaded with 2700 to 3300 ATK bosses. The score is not an average of card scores and does not reward popularity: Shaddoll usage confirms the list is real, but 25 percent exact-name purity, Dracotail, Tearlaments, Mulcharmy, Archfiend, Predaplant, Dark World and Despia pieces, and 13 Limited cards pull the system's consistency down. The deck also has no Side Deck, which caps its tournament reliability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary; Midrange weights used for Structural. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 47. Modifiers: No Side Deck (-3); Engine conflicts across archetypes (-3); Banlist exposure (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional): 0.80*58.6 + 0.20*47 = 56.3, then context modifiers -8 = 48.3, rounded to 48

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.54 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.46 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered on-field interaction: Squamata, Dragon, Hollow, Grysta, Schism, Apkallone
• High boss ATK in the Extra Deck (2700 to 3300) for closing
• Searcher density (15 copies) supports finding Fusion starters

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Exact-name purity 25 percent; engine spread across 6+ archetype families
• Heavy Limited-card dependence (13 Limited, 2 Semi-Limited)
• Dead-in-hand risk from situational cards such as Heavy Storm and That Grass Looks Greener

Critical choke points

• Fusion-enabling starter access (8 copies) gates almost every line
• Shaddoll Fusion x3 is the main reliable entry point
• Maxx C is the only true hand trap for going second

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status, 57 main, 15 extra, 0 side (size rules 40-60 / 0-15 satisfied); Copy limits: Limited and Semi-Limited copies within legal caps; Extra Deck is 14 Fusion and 1 Synchro, copy counts as listed; Card text and stats from excerpts
• Inferred: Fusion-enabling hypergeometric estimate (about 0.54 going first); Engine consistency and brick risk; Interaction quality from card text; Boss closing power from ATK stats
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament data)
• 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 (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick rates) exists Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side behaviour cannot be evaluated
