Igknight Deck #774864 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-zone chains into Link and Synchro boards, closed by Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon (Limited, 1 copy) and Link/Synchro beaters; Majespecter and Dracoslayer Extra Deck beaters (Majespecter Draco - Ryu, Majester Paladin, Dinoster Power), with Ignister Prominence as a Synchro board-breaker
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a searcher (Majespecter Raccoon, Ignis Phoenix, Majesty Pegasus, Draco Awakening) to add a Pendulum or Majespecter piece, then build a Pendulum-zone pair into a Link Summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Maxx C to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through the Majespecter searchers and Extra Deck summons
• Recovery: Recover through the Majespecter searcher chain (Crow, Fox, Raccoon, Porcupine) and the Pendulum Zone rebuild; no recursion or Graveyard engine is evidenced
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in the list

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: two Forbidden cards are run (Borreload Savage Dragon and Baronne de Fleur) and the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against a maximum of 15, so it is scored as a structural-only read and capped low. Its consistency comes from a dense searcher package (23 searcher-text copies, about 95% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred), which earns the engine-access score. The deck is a mix of Majespecter, Dracoslayer, Magician and Vaylantz pieces with 71 off-archetype copies and no exact Igknight cards, so the core-archetype usage data covers only 10 of 25 standard cards. Interaction (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Majespecter Tempest) is real but the list has no recorded combos, so ceiling and median output are text-only inference. Archetype popularity and the score were not produced by averaging card scores; the system read is what drives the number.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary weights not blended (Midrange weights used as written). Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-5); Extra Deck over limit (-2); archetype label mismatch (-1). Final formula: Structural 47.7 -> 0.80*47.7 + 0.20*40 = 46.1; plus modifiers (-8) = 38.1; capped to 30 under the Illegal-legality guardrail (theoretical/structural-only read). Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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 searcher package (23 copies) gives high starter access
• Layered interaction from Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C and Majespecter Tempest
• Compact 33-distinct-card Main Deck within the size range

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden cards and an over-limit Extra Deck
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Archetype label Igknight does not match the card pool (Majespecter/Dracoslayer mix)
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone pair is required for most engine starts; losing it removes most lines
• Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon is the single main closer and is Limited to 1 copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Forbidden status and 0 legal copies for Borreload Savage Dragon and Baronne de Fleur; Extra Deck count 17 against a 15 maximum; Main Deck 54 within 40-60; Searcher-text group 23 copies; hand-trap group 5 copies; Archetype core group 12 copies; usage core covers 10 of 25 standard cards
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in 5-card opening) ~ 0.95; Hand-trap odds on going second ~ 0.46; Interaction quality read from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13); Tournament reliability estimate (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 match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck in the export
