Blackwings Deck #774137 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Control, Tempo
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blackwing synchro boards (Silverwind, Armor Master, Armed Wing, Dark Armed Dragon) converting after the Blackwing Normal Summon and trap-based board control; Piercing and attack pressure from Blackwing Bora, Shura and Armed Wing through a cleared board
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Blackwing (Sirocco or Kalut), build a Tuner plus non-Tuner, Synchro into a 2800-class boss while holding Dimensional Prison or Pulling the Rug
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Dust Tornado, Dimensional Prison, Mirror Force and Torrential Tribute to answer the opponent's first summon and rebuild with Black Whirlwind and Book of Moon
• Recovery: Blackwing Graveyard recursion (Vayu banish, Shura and Bora Special Summons) plus Black Whirlwind and D.D. Crow to refill the hand
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan; this is a structural gap

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its Blackwing core (25 archetype-named copies, with 0.959 proxy odds of at least one Blackwing in a 5-card opening hand) gives it a reasonably reliable starter layer, and its 14 Synchro monsters offer a real board-conversion route. Its interaction package (Dimensional Prison, Mirror Force, Torrential Tribute, Dust Tornado, Pulling the Rug and Bottomless Trap Hole, with 9 negation-text and 28 removal-text hits) is the strongest part of the score, and it is most useful when the deck goes second. The score is held down by the 3 Forbidden copies (Heavy Storm and Trap Dustshoot), the complete lack of a Side Deck, and a large share of trap cards that cannot act on turn 1. Because the list is illegal, the score is capped at 35 and reported as structural-only; popularity and archetype usage were not counted as power.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Control secondary (disclosed, not blended numerically). Structural ≈ 58.5, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(58.5) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(48) = 56.4; plus modifiers -11 = 45.4; capped to 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power is provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense Blackwing core (25 copies) with about 96% odds of at least one core card in the opening hand (Inferred)
• Layered trap-based interaction (Mirror Force, Dimensional Prison, Torrential Tribute, Dust Tornado) that answers a going-second board
• Synchro Extra Deck covers several board-breaking and piercing options

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Heavy Storm and Trap Dustshoot are Forbidden in TCG
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Large trap count (23) and Level-0 share make turn-1 openings inconsistent

Critical choke points

• Blackwing Tuner needed for almost every Synchro in the Extra Deck
• Chimeratech Fortress Dragon requires Cyber Dragon on the field

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts are within TCG size rules; Heavy Storm and Trap Dustshoot are Forbidden and over the copy limit; Limited cards Allure of Darkness and Solemn Judgment run 1 copy each, which is legal; Extra Deck is 14 Synchro and 1 Fusion
• Inferred: Starter availability uses the hypergeometric Blackwing-core proxy (0.959); Interaction breadth comes from card-text hits (9 negation, 28 removal); Going-second strength is judged from the trap package and Blackwing recursion
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit is neutral placeholder: no 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 absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups, brick or OTK rates Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null in the export
