Runick (Mysterune) Deck #774896 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Toolbox
• Secondary strategies: Midrange, Stun
• 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 beatsticks and Clown Crew / Radiant Typhoon / Blue-Eyes boards, reached through the Runick Quick-Play spells; Runick spell-driven disruption that buys turns for a Clown Crew or Extra Deck board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Runick Quick-Play (Flashing Fire, Freezing Curses or Destruction) plus a searcher (Runick Tip, Preparation of Rites or Clown Crew Rehearsal) and convert into a Clown Crew Fusion/Synchro/Xyz board, but the Runick spells' Extra Deck summon has no Runick monster to target in this list
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Clown Crew Biancaviso negation) and Quick-Play interaction to slow the opponent's board before a Radiant Typhoon or Clown Crew summon
• Recovery: Runick Fountain and Clown Crew Rehearsal / Matinee Operatics recycle spells from the GY; recovery depends on the Fountain copies that the list cannot legally run
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Runick Fountain against a Limited (1-copy) OCG restriction, and it has no Side Deck, so the score is capped and the evaluation is structural only. The core Runick Quick-Play spells (Flashing Fire, Freezing Curses, Destruction) are reliably present, with about 83% chance of at least one archetype-core card in an opening 5-card hand, but the Extra Deck holds no Runick monsters for their Extra Deck summon, so the main engine has no confirmed payoff in this list. The 70 off-archetype main deck copies (Clown Crew, generic staples, Radiant Typhoon) split the deck into several partial engines, which lowers starter density and raises brick risk. Interaction is broad (32 removal-text cards, 3 hand traps, several negation effects), but it is not tied to a single closing route. No combo boards, tournament record, or dated meta sample were supplied, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. The score comes from consistency, interaction and Extra Deck coverage on the system, not from the popularity of Runick or Clown Crew and not from averaging the card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced (default; strategy spans Toolbox and Midrange). Structural ≈ 33, Going First ≈ 28, Going Second ≈ 26, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: Copy-limit violation (banlist exposure) (-8); No Side Deck (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Illegal deck capped at 20 (structural-only)

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

• Archetype core group (16 Runick copies) is reliably present in opening hands (0.83 at 5 cards)
• Broad interaction: 32 removal-text cards, 12 negation-text cards, 3 hand traps
• Strong Extra Deck closing options (Chasma, Ashtraya, Blue-Eyes Spirit, Berfomet)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Runick Fountain at 3 copies against a 1-copy Limited restriction
• Runick spells have no Runick Extra Deck monsters to summon in this list
• Off-archetype dilution: 70 of 86 archetype-related copies are not Runick, and archetype purity is 0%
• No Side Deck
• No combo evidence to confirm a real line

Critical choke points

• Runick Fountain's copy count makes the list illegal until fixed
• The Runick Quick-Play spells need a Runick Extra Deck monster to complete their main effect, and none is present

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Runick Fountain at 3 copies, legal copies 1 (Limited); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; no Runick monsters in the Extra Deck list; Archetype core: 16 Runick copies; 70 off-archetype copies; purity 0%; Archetype usage: Runick Flashing Fire and Freezing Curses at 100% inclusion
• Inferred: Starter access estimates from hypergeometric draw table (0.2529 per 3-copy card, 0.8345 core group); Consistency and brick-rate reads from the 37 Level 0 spells and the off-archetype dilution; Interaction density from removal and negation text tags
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (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 1 passcode in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card and was counted as main No win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
