Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: XYZ Summon K9 Rank 5 monsters to generate interaction and board presence; Grind through resource advantage via hand traps and disruption
• Turn 1 (going first): Triệu hồi bình thường 1 K9 starter (Noroi, Lupis, Izuna, Jokul, or Lantern) to Xyz Summon K9-17 Ripper and establish negation/search
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird) to disrupt opponent, then pivot to board breaking via removal effects
• Recovery: K9-17 Ripper tutors K9 Spells; K9-ØØ Lupis gains protection; graveyard recursion via K9-66b Lantern; secondary board via Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw engine
• After siding: Unknown—no side deck supplied (0 cards)

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal in OCG (running 3x Forbidden K9-04 Noroi, 3x Limited "A Case for K9", 3x Semi-Limited Droll & Lock Bird, 2x Limited Called by the Grave). Evaluated structurally only: the K9 engine core (Noroi, Lupis, Izuna, Jokul, Lantern) aims to Triệu hồi bình thường Cấp độ 5 starters and Xyz into K9-17 Ripper for search/negation, but the deck is severely hamstrung by brickiness (many Cấp độ 5 creatures với conflicting synergy requirements), thin combo lines (no parseable boards supplied), and reliance on 1 Forbidden card for consistency. The hand-trap suite (Ash, Imperm, Droll at illegal counts) provides reactive power going second, but the offensive payoff is weak and the median board is modest. No side deck and missing core staples like Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS further degrade post-game reliability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 33, Going First ≈ 35, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 20. Modifiers: Illegality Penalty (-5); Missing Side Deck (-3); High Brick Risk (-2). Final formula: Illegal deck capped at structural estimate (0.80·33 + 0.20·20 = 30.4, rounded down to 28 due to illegality penalty)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening 1 starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.7 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Hand-trap suite (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird) provides reactive disruption and going-second capability despite illegal copy counts.
• K9-17 Ripper tutoring engine generates consistent search value and replaces K9 Spells.
• Extra Deck coverage: multiple Rank 5 and Rank 9 options for different game states.
• Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw trigger accelerates resources on opponent's Triệu hồi đặc biệts.

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: runs 3x Forbidden K9-04 Noroi (a primary starter), severely crippling engine consistency.
• High brick rate: redundant Cấp độ 5 starters với conflicting activation conditions (hand size 2+, column restrictions).
• Modest offensive payoff: typical board is 1 single Rank 5 Xyz + 1-2 negations; lacks closing power.
• No side deck: cannot adapt post-game; matchup reliability unknown.
• Missing key staples: Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, K9-66X Jacks, K9-X Werewolf, Mulcharmy Purulia reduce core consistency vs. meta decks.
• Median combo output is shallow: dependent on opponent effects triggering Mulcharmy and K9-ØØ Hound ATK growth.

Critical choke points

• K9-04 Noroi is Forbidden in OCG; the deck was built around this card and collapses vớiout it.
• Single Xyz route: if K9-17 Ripper is negated/removed and no backup Xyz is available, recovery is slow.
• Disablaster column requirement: requires an empty column to Triệu hồi đặc biệt, brick risk in cramped boards.
• No Main Deck removal engine: relies entirely on hand traps and K9-ØØ Lupis/Hound effects (reactive, not proactive).

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal in OCG (banlist violations confirmed).; Main Deck 40, Extra Deck 15, Side 0 (size legal).; Card text roles confirmed from card excerpts (Ripper tutoring, Hound ATK scaling, Mulcharmy draw trigger).; Banlist status: Noroi Forbidden, "A Case for K9" Limited, Droll & Lock Bird Semi-Limited, Called by the Grave Limited (OCG).
• Observed: K9 core comprises 17 copies across Noroi, Lupis, Izuna, Jokul, Lantern.; Hand-trap suite: 11 copies (Ash x3, Imperm x3, Droll x3, Artifact Lancea x2).; Extra Deck: 14 XYZ + 1 Link; K9 Rank 5 (Ripper x3, Hound, Jacks, Masquerade) + Rank 9 (Werewolf, Ripper/M).; Usage stats: deck runs 58% of archetype core (7/12 core cards present); missing K9-66X Jacks, K9-X Werewolf, Mulcharmy Purulia, K9-17 Ripper (Extra), Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS.
• Inferred: Engine Accessibility (D1): P(≥1 K9 starter T1, legal only) ≈ 0.60 when Noroi banned; reduced from 0.95 (including Forbidden Noroi).; Brick Rate (D2): Conflicting Cấp độ 5 activation conditions (hand size 2+, column-empty) estimate ~9-12% full brick.; Combo Ceiling (D3): K9-17 Ripper + 1-2 negations ≈ 70-75 power index (moderate interaction, weak offense).; Combo Median (D4): Single Rank 5 Xyz + Mulcharmy draw on opponent summon ≈ 50-60 power index.; Interruption Resilience (D5): Limited redundancy; first Xyz interrupted → slow recovery via K9-17 search or Mộ recursion.; Resource Economy (D6): Net +0 from Ripper detach-to-search; +1 from Mulcharmy draw (reactive, conditional).; Interaction Quality (D7): 2-3 interaction effects per board (negation, removal); not layered.; Going-Second (D8): Hand-trap coverage 94% T2 (illegal counts); removal via Lancea + Called by Grave (illegal copy).; Closing Power (D9): Typical attacker 2300 ATK; no piercing, no direct damage; OTK unlikely.; Main Deck Efficiency (D10): Triple-copy on starters + hand traps; low flexibility; garnet density moderate.; Extra Deck Efficiency (D11): 14 XYZ + 1 Link; good Rank 5/9 coverage, but Link underutilized.; Post-Game Reliability (D12): No side deck (0 cards); cannot assess.; Matchup Fit (D13): K9/Mulcharmy niche in OCG; no tournament data; archetype meta-share unknown.; Pilotability (D14): Combo steps simple; high brick risk + choke-point recovery reduce error tolerance.
• Provisional: Meta Power: No dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share unknown; cannot compute.; Tournament Reliability: No per-pilot match record; Inferred from deck structure (high brick, weak median board, limited recovery) → low reliability estimate.
• Data gaps: Illegal deck: 3x Forbidden K9-04 Noroi, 3x Limited "A Case for K9", 3x Semi-Limited Droll & Lock Bird, 2x Limited Called by the Grave in OCG format. No parseable combo boards supplied: Combo floor/median/ceiling inferred from card text only; no real hand data. No tournament link: Archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent. No side deck: Post-game reliability cannot be assessed; D12 scored 0. No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN: Going-first/second brick rates, matchup outcomes, OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown. Guides absent: No strategic guides for K9/Mulcharmy archetype in the evidence; optimization inferred from card roles.
