Mikanko Deck #775172 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, 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: Mikanko equip-chain boards that turn into Xyz, Synchro and Link pressure (Ohime, Uzuhime, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Enigmaster Packbit, Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer); Interaction-heavy grind: Solemn/Ash/Maxx C/Droll hand and trap interaction protecting a 2500-3000 ATK end board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Mikanko monster and Mikanko Water Arabesque or Shinbu - Noble Twins to start the equip chain (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) to answer the opponent's first summon and rebuild the equip engine (Inferred)
• Recovery: Searchers (Hu-Li, Ha-Re, Uzuhime, Mikanko Rivalry, Ohime) and recursion through Mikanko Shinbu and Mayowashidori (Inferred from text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck is present in the export

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is accessible: 25 Mikanko core copies give P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.96, so most hands can start a line (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates). Its interaction suite is broad, with 9 hand traps, 8 negation-text cards and 20 removal-text cards, which lifts end-board and interaction quality. Its ceiling and median cannot be measured because the export has no recorded boards, so the combo dimensions are text-only inference and are scored conservatively. Popularity was not credited: the archetype's usage stats confirm the list is standard, not that it is strong, and card scores were not averaged. The deck is Illegal (Baronne de Fleur is Forbidden and runs one copy), and it has no side deck, so the score is capped and labelled theoretical/structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (ratio approximately 4:1 by weight). Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Forbidden card in Extra Deck) (-10); No side deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + Modifiers = 0.80*55 + 0.20*50 - 10 = 44 before the Illegal cap; capped to 25 because legality is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core engine accessibility: 25 Mikanko copies, P(>=1 in 5) ~0.96 (Inferred)
• Broad interaction suite: 9 hand traps, 8 negation cards, 20 removal-text cards (Inferred)
• High-ATK Extra Deck end boards (Verified from card data)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Baronne de Fleur is Forbidden and runs one copy (Verified)
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 plan (Verified)
• No recorded boards, so ceiling and median are unmeasured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Mikanko monster presence for every equip-chain line (Inferred)
• Equip Spell access to sustain the engine (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 within OCG size rules; Baronne de Fleur Forbidden with 1 copy run (illegal); Copy-limit status of the Limited and Semi-Limited cards; Card text and ATK/DEF values from the resolved list; Archetype usage stats: 17 of 19 core cards present
• Inferred: P(>=1 core in 5) ~0.96 and brick proxy ~0.04; Interaction density from text flags; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Recovery via searchers and recursion
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup fit (archetype meta-share absent)
• 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 in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and OTK rates) no side deck in the export: post-side performance unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
