Relinquished Deck #774962 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fire King and Snake-Eye boss monsters (Garunix Eternity, Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon, Snake-Eyes Doomed Dragon, Number 90 Galaxy-Eyes Photon Lord) backed by Link pressure; Link beatsticks (Worldsea Dragon Zealantis, Underworld Goddess of the Closed World, Promethean Princess) once the board is cleared
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Fire King Island, Snake-Eye Ash, Snake-Eye Oak, Snake-Eyes Poplar, Bonfire, Terraforming) into a Fire King or Snake-Eye engine monster and build toward a Level 8 Xyz or Fusion; Ash Blossom and Evenly Matched cover the first interaction. Going-first viability is Inferred from text only.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 13 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Nibiru, Droll & Lock Bird, Linkuriboh) to disrupt the opponent's first board, then use Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm and Forbidden Droplet to clear backrow and monsters.
• Recovery: Recover through Fire King monsters that Special Summon from the GY (Sacred Fire King Garunix, Legendary Fire King Ponix, Snake-Eye Ash and Oak recursion) and Mulcharmy draw effects when the hand is empty.
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no best-of-3 post-side plan.

Why it scores here

This deck is Illegal in OCG because it runs three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of two, so it receives only a structural, capped score of 30 and not a normal final score. Structurally it reads as a Midrange hybrid of Fire King, Snake-Eye and Mulcharmy cards, with 13 hand traps that give it a credible going-second plan and a 0.81 chance of at least one searcher in an opening five-card hand (Inferred). Its end-board power comes from strong Level 8 and Link boss monsters, but no combo recordings exist, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences. The score does not come from the Relinquished label, which has zero exact-name copies, and it was not produced by averaging individual card scores. The deck has no side deck, which caps adaptability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox weights not applied. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + ContextModifiers(-12) ≈ 39; Illegal cap applied: final = 30 (theoretical/structural-only). Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• 13 hand traps give a credible going-second interruption package
• Multiple 3000-ATK Level 8 and Link bosses provide closing power
• Searchers at 15 cards make the starter likely in most hands

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the copy limit
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan
• Archetype label Relinquished is not supported by any Relinquished card; the deck is three engines on one list
• Core usage cards Maxx C, Relinquished Anima and Millennium-Eyes Restrict are missing

Critical choke points

• Fire King Island and Snake-Eye Ash as the main searchers; if they are not drawn the engines do not start
• The 2-copy limit on Ash Blossom removes one hand trap from the opening hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring 3 copies vs Semi-Limited 2 in OCG (Illegal); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within size rules; Archetype purity: 0 exact-name copies of Relinquished; Card stats and text excerpts for all listed cards
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, searcher and hand-trap probabilities; Midrange strategy classification from composition; Engine coherence and going-first and going-second estimates; Interaction and resilience ratings from role-tag counts and card text
• Provisional: Tournament reliability and matchup or format fit (no tournament data); Meta power (no dated sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot records absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Deck title is null No side deck, so best-of-3 adaptability cannot be measured Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
