SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Evaluating whether a Yu-Gi-Oh! decklist is competitive requires comparing it against proven top-cut builds, but doing this card-by-card by hand is slow and error-prone. This Skill provides a structured workflow to quantify deck similarity and justify every card inclusion or omission. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Match Rate Calculation: Computes a percentage match rate based on common unique cards, with a 50% threshold to detect variant mismatches. - Per-Card Difference Analysis: Evaluates cards present in only one deck using ydkshow mean values, online meta carry rates, and effect text to decide add, skip, keep, or delete. - Engine and Extra Deck Comparison: Compares core series setcodes, mini-engines from engines.md, hand trap counts, and extra deck summon chains with concrete warning thresholds. - Use Case: After building a new deck variant, gather 5-10 local variants and 3-5 online top-cut lists, then run this workflow to produce a final verdict of pass or needs revision with itemized reasons. ## Quick Start Compare my current decklist against top-cut reference builds and tell me which cards to add or remove with reasons.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compare my Yu-Gi-Oh! deck against top-cut decklists?▼

Gather 5 to 10 local variants and 3 to 5 online top-cut lists, then compute the match rate from common unique cards. A rate of 50% or above passes; below that suggests a different variant, so verify type classification first.

What is a good match rate when comparing decklists?▼

A match rate of 50% or above passes, calculated as common unique cards divided by total unique cards. Below 50% likely means the decks are different variants rather than genuinely divergent builds.

How do I decide whether to add a card my reference deck runs?▼

Check the ydkshow mean first: a mean of 1.0 or above is consensus, so skipping needs explanation. Also check the online meta carry rate, the card's effect text, and whether your deck already has a functional substitute.

How many hand traps should a competitive Yu-Gi-Oh! deck run?▼

Fewer than 3 hand trap types is a warning since the deck is easily teched against, and fewer than 9 total hand traps indicates insufficient escort and breakthrough capability.

Why does my deck comparison show a large core engine difference?▼

A core difference greater than 3 cards usually means the decks are different variants or the core was misidentified. Compare core series cards by setcode and check whether a consensus combo partner with mean 2.0 or above was missed.
