Hieratic Deck #775235 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 54/100 (±9 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blue-Eyes White Dragon and Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon (via Ultimate Fusion / Chaos MAX Ritual) closing through board breaking; Synchro beaters (Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Spirit Dragon, Lightstorm Dragon) and Magia/Tyrant
• Turn 1 (going first): Search-chain with Sage with Eyes of Blue, Maiden of White, Kaibaman, Wishes and Bingo Machine toward Blue-Eyes White Dragon, protected by Solemn and Dominus Purge
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence, Red Reboot) to stop the opponent's first summon or search, then transition into Dominus and Solemn interaction
• Recovery: Recover through Blue-Eyes Spirit Dragon and Deep-Eyes from the GY, Maiden of White returning from the GY when Blue-Eyes White Dragon is Special Summoned, and Maxx C / Mulcharmy draws
• After siding: No side deck (side_count 0); no post-side plan is available

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens searches: the archetype core is present in 88% of going-first 5-card hands (Inferred hypergeometric estimate), and 84% of hands contain at least one searcher. It converts those searches into threats through Blue-Eyes White Dragon, Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Chaos MAX, which together give high closing power, while Blue-Eyes White Dragon is only 24% likely in a going-first opening hand, so the engine depends on search density rather than a single starter. Its interaction is the strongest part of the system: eight hand traps, Solemn copies, Dominus Purge, Dominus Spark and Heavy Storm give broad coverage, though only one copy each of the Limited and Semi-Limited cards limits redundancy. The deck has no side deck and no combo or tournament records, so the floor, median and matchup scores are text-based and provisional. Popularity and archetype label do not count toward the score; the Hieratic label matches only one card, and the score was not built by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 61.1, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-1); unrecoverable_choke_point (-2); weak_post_side_plan (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural is meta-neutral with D13 dropped and weights renormalized over 95)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher and hand-trap package gives many independent lines
• Broad interaction covering monsters, Spells and Traps, and summons
• High closing power from Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon, Chaos MAX and Magia
• Extra Deck covers Synchro, Fusion and Link with Blue-Eyes access

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Heavy singleton count and off-plan singletons lower consistency
• Blue-Eyes White Dragon access is probabilistic and only 24% per going-first opening hand
• Floor and median output unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Blue-Eyes White Dragon (3 copies) as the hub for Ultimate Fusion, Chaos MAX and Ritual routes
• Hand-trap timing for going second
• Missing Limited/Semi-Limited copies once used

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 57 and Extra 14 within OCG size rules (main 40–60, extra 0–15); All seven restricted cards run at or below their legal copy limits; Copy histogram: 19 singletons, 1 double, 12 triples; Blue-Eyes Ultimate Dragon and Chaos MAX stats (4500 ATK and 4000 ATK)
• Inferred: Going-first 5-card hand: archetype core 88% and searcher text 84%; Blue-Eyes White Dragon in hand 5 at 24%; Interaction density from negation and removal text; Going-second hand-trap availability at 61%
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13), no tournament context; Floor and median output (D4), no recorded boards
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent 1 passcode (23995346) in CardIDList could not be resolved to a card (counted as main) no side deck (side_count 0): post-side plan and D12 are inferred only archetype label 'Hieratic' does not match contents (1 Hieratic card; 70 off-archetype copies) no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
