Evil Twin/Live Twin/Evil★Twin/Live☆Twin Deck #774147 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Fusion/Link
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck threats: Chaos Angel (3500), Evil★Twin's Trouble Sunny (3300), Fiendsmith's Rextremende and Underworld Goddess of the Closed World (3000 each); Fiendsmith's Desirae and Lacrima fusion pressure, with Fiendsmith's Lacrima giving -600 ATK to opposing monsters
• Turn 1 (going first): Live☆Twin and Evil★Twin starter monsters, then search with Fiendsmith Engraver or Secret Password; the 3-copy Engraver line is illegal as built so this plan is theoretical
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence) to disrupt the opponent's first summons, then rebuild through searchers
• Recovery: Graveyard recursion through Fiendsmith Lacrima the Crimson Tears, Fiendsmith's Tract and Fiendsmith Engraver, plus searchers (Secret Password, Triple Tactics Thrust, Live☆Twin Sunny's Snitch)
• After siding: None: the side deck is empty (0 of 15 cards), so there is no post-side adaptation

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal: three cards exceed their copy limits (Ash Blossom 3 vs 2, Fiendsmith Engraver 3 vs 1, Fiendsmith's Tract 2 vs 1), so it receives a structural-only score capped at 35 and no normal Final Contextual score. The structural read comes from the system as a whole: the deck reliably sets up interaction (Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Typhoon, Cosmic Cyclone, and a dense hand-trap suite) and has searchers and recursion for recovery, while its Extra Deck closers reach 3000 to 3500 ATK. It is held back by a split engine across Fiendsmith, Evil Twin, Live Twin and generic Link threats, with most usage-core Extra cards not matched as present, and by 20 hand traps plus many conditional tech cards that raise brick risk. There is no combo data, no side deck, and no tournament or matchup evidence. Popularity did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); engine_conflicts (-4); no_post_side_plan (-2); illegal_cap (-6). Final formula: Illegal list: structural-only. Raw Structural 53 minus modifiers gives 41, capped at 35. No Final Contextual blend is applied.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 interaction suite across hand traps and spell/trap removal
• Searchers and graveyard recursion for recovery
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts on three core cards
• Split engine across several archetypes
• No side deck
• High non-engine and tech density

Critical choke points

• Fiendsmith Engraver and Fiendsmith's Tract are legal at 1 copy each, so the intended line cannot be run as built
• Extra Deck link requirements depend on specific Ki-sikil and Lil-la monsters

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, side 0 are within size rules; Three copy-limit violations; Card text and banlist tokens from the evidence pack
• Inferred: Starter and brick probabilities from hypergeometric estimates; Dimension scores D1 to D11 and D14 from card text and structure
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; matchup and format fit (D13) are provisional
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate or going-first/second telemetry Usage matching reports several Extra Deck cards that are present in the list (Evil★Twin Ki-sikil, Fiendsmith's Requiem, Fiendsmith's Lacrima, Fiendsmith's Desirae) as not in this deck; core coverage (40%) may be understated Deck title is null
