Legality
Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Fusion Summon DARK Fairy boss monsters (The First Darklord 4000 ATK, Darklord Eveningstar 3000) and Link/XYZ pressure, with Darklord Ixchel and Darklord Morningstar as large bodies; Recurring Darklord Spell/Trap effects from the GY via Darklord Ixchel and Condemned Darklord, grinding out board advantage over several turns
- Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Darklord starter (Djehuty, Gulgolet or Contact) to special summon a Darklord from Deck, use the search and recursion text to set up a fusion route, and hold Ash Blossom or Infinite Impermanence for a single key response
- Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Herald of Orange Light, Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Impulse) on the opponent's first engine or summon, then rebuild a Darklord board from the GY
- Recovery: Banishment of the Darklords and Darklord Dance restart the Darklord loop from Deck and GY; Ixchel and the Darklord GY-copy effects recover Spells/Traps for repeat use
- After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the default plan is the main deck as built
Why it scores here
The score comes from the deck as a system: the 24-copy Darklord core gives a near-certain opening presence (P of at least one core card in a 5-card hand about 0.99, Inferred), and the 8 hand traps plus 11 negation and removal texts give layered interaction on both turns. Conversion is credible but untested: the Extra Deck carries 6 Fusion, 8 Link and 1 XYZ bosses, and the Darklord recursion text can rebuild a board. Floor and median output are the main uncertainty because no recorded boards exist. The deck is not scored higher because of its guide mentions or archetype usage (core present 61.9% of stat rows), and the scores were not derived by averaging the card-level scores. The 30 off-archetype copies (Dominus, Power Patron, Mulcharmy, Herald, Ash, Infinite Impermanence) dilute engine coherence, and the empty Side Deck removes any post-side plan.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 72 | P(at least one Darklord core card in a 5-card hand) = 0.9934 across 24 copies; the 1-2 card bootstrap relies on Djehuty (3), Gulgolet (2) and Contact (1) (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 62 | 8 hand traps and 11 Spell/Trap copies with a 3-copy Darklord core keep most hands functional; Mulcharmy Fuwalos needs an empty field to be live, and Dominus cards are off-plan bricks in some hands (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 66 | No parseable recorded boards; ceiling read from text: Darklord Dance into The First Darklord (4000 ATK) or Eveningstar, with Ixchel recursion (Inferred semantic read) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 55 | No combos_evidence; median output cannot be measured and is judged only from the Darklord core's typical 2-copy backbone, so it sits in the middle (Inferred) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 70 | Two or more independent interruption routes: Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence plus Darklord Rebellion, Banishment and Contact give redundant rebuilds after one answer (Inferred from text) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 60 | Darklord Spell/Trap recursion costs LP per use and Gulgolet/Ixchel recur the Darklord core; the GY loop is real but LP-taxed (Inferred from card text) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 72 | Interaction density includes 11 negation texts and 17 removal texts across Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Impulse, Herald of Orange Light, Sanctified Darklord and Rebellion (Inferred semantic, text-tagged) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 70 | Going-second value rests on 8 hand traps and Maxx C; no going-second split is recorded, so the score is text-based (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 70 | Board end-state includes Vidolium (5000 ATK), The First Darklord (4000), Morningstar (3000) and Eveningstar (3000), with TY-PHON as an additional XYZ closer (Verified stats) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 62 | 40 Main slots with 19 distinct cards, and 20 Normal-race level-0 Spell/Trap slots of which about 11 are off-archetype or tech; compact but less coherent than a pure Darklord list (Verified composition, Inferred purity) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 60 | 15 Extra slots: 6 Fusion, 8 Link, 1 XYZ; the 3-copy First Darklord and Eveningstar plus Darklord Dance form the main fusion route (Verified composition) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 20 | Side deck is empty (0 of 15 side slots); no post-side plan is possible, so the score sits at the floor of the scale (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 50 | No tournament or meta-share record; archetype share is not in the evidence pack, so matchup fit is provisional (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 55 | Multi-step fusion lines, hand-trap timing and chained Darklord GY effects need decision points on most turns, but the core loop is repeatable (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 64.5, Going First ≈ 65, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: empty side deck (-2); archetype dilution (-1); engine compactness (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (no dated meta sample; Meta provisional)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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
- 24-copy Darklord core gives near-certain opening presence
- Layered interaction: 8 hand traps, 11 negation texts, 17 removal texts
- Fusion and Link bosses with 3000-5000 ATK end-boards
- Recursion through GY Darklord effects supports a grind game
Weaknesses
- No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
- 30 off-archetype copies lower engine coherence
- No recorded boards, so the combo floor and median are unmeasured
- LP-taxed recursion limits repeat use
Critical choke points
- Darklord starters (Djehuty, Gulgolet, Contact) are the only route to the fusion engine
- Darklord Dance is the single fusion enabler for the First Darklord and Eveningstar line
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | One Dominus Impulse copy | Darklord-named or Fairy-generic search/recovery card | Reduces off-archetype dilution and raises the chance that a hand is a functional Darklord line |
| 2 | No side deck | A 5-10 card side deck with the hand traps and negates that answer the most common boards | Gives a post-side plan, which is the largest structural gap in the current list (D12 = 20) |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Legal in master-duel with 40 main, 15 extra and 0 side; Restricted cards Foolish Burial, Herald of Orange Light and Maxx C each run at their legal copy limit of 1; Composition: 19 distinct main cards, 9 distinct extra cards, copy histogram 1:8 2:1 3:10; Usage stats: core present 13 of 21, core present pct 61.9
- Observed: No recorded boards or combo samples are present
- Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Interaction density from card text tags; Fusion route and recursion reading from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
- Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) has no archetype meta-share or tournament record
- 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, going-second, matchup, brick or OTK rates no side deck registered: post-side plan cannot be evaluated Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
