Visas Starfrost Deck #774755 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±15 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Combo
• Format: ocg

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Fusion, Link, Xyz) enabled by the Tearlaments and Fiendsmith cores; the evidence contains no recorded combo boards to confirm which boss is the main finisher; Hand-trap and negation-supported board presence that lets the deck survive a single disruption and keep a boss on the field
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or Special Summon a Tearlaments or Fiendsmith starter, use Tearlaments Scheiren or Tearlaments Merrli to send cards and enable a Fusion Summon, and hold Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring or Maxx C for the opponent's first response; the exact line is inferred from card text, not from recorded boards
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to present a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Nibiru) against the opponent's first activation, then rebuild through the searchers (Fiendsmith Engraver, Imsety, Tearlaments Sulliek)
• Recovery: Recycle from the GY with Tearlaments and Fiendsmith recursion effects (Tearlaments Kashtira, Fiendsmith's Lacrima, Fiendsmith Tract) and Foolish Burial Goods; the evidence does not show how often this succeeds
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG: Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon and Triple Tactics Talent are Forbidden and run at one copy each, and the deck has no side deck. The structural read is therefore theoretical only. Consistency is moderate: the 13-card archetype core gives about a 0.76 chance of at least one core card in a five-card opening hand, and 22 searcher-text cards add redundancy, but six hand traps and 21 level-0 spell/trap slots create some brick risk. Interaction is the deck's strongest theme, with hand traps and negation text covering the opponent's first response, though this is inferred from card text. No recorded combo boards exist, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and no average of card scores was used. The deck has no tournament, win-rate or dated meta evidence, so meta power is null and the final score is capped by the illegal list.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers; theoretical only because the list is Illegal (0.80*52 + 0.20*42 = 50, minus 12 banlist exposure = 38)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.76 · 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

• Layered hand-trap and negation coverage (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru, Solemn Judgment)
• Redundant searchers and recursion routes across the Tearlaments and Fiendsmith cores
• Full 15-card Extra Deck with Fusion, Link and Xyz options

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards and no side deck
• Mixed engines (70 off-archetype copies) reduce coherence
• No recorded combo boards, so the power of the deck's main line is unknown

Critical choke points

• Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon is Forbidden and occupies an Extra Deck slot that the list needs for a boss
• Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and is a non-engine card that cannot be run
• Lack of a recorded combo board makes the main Fusion line unverified

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 2 Forbidden cards (Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Triple Tactics Talent) over the copy limit; 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Card text and banlist status for all 55 main and 15 extra cards; Usage statistics: 11 of 25 core cards present (44%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from hypergeometric estimates (archetype core 0.76, searchers 0.93, hand traps 0.52 going second); Interaction density from negation and removal text (8 negation, 16 removal); Going-first and going-second plans from card text, since no combo boards exist
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament or meta data)
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty, so post-side behaviour cannot be evaluated
