Reptilianne Deck #393115 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Graveyard-recursion Ogdoadic/Reptilianne engine that rebuilds Reptile boards and closes with Aron, Amunessia, Vaskii and Synchro/Link beaters; Reptilianne Melusine and Hydra board control plus Ragnaraika ATK swings
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Reptile starter such as Ogdoadic Water Lily, Nunu or Reptilianne Spawn, chain Nauya or Ramifications into an Ogdoadic Spell/Trap, then Link or Synchro into a 2500+ ATK boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Nunu, Nauya and Reptilianne Coatl recursion to rebuild after a board-wipe or negation, then Synchro into Melusine or Hydra to remove 0-ATK blockers
• Recovery: Recur Reptile monsters from the GY with Water Lily, Daybreak and Zohah, which keeps Ogdoadic and Reptilianne bodies cycling
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has an empty Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is the Ogdoadic and Reptilianne graveyard loop: three-copy starters (Water Lily, Nunu, Spawn, Coatl, Ramifications) feed Reptile recursion, and the 12 searcher-text cards give roughly an 85 percent chance of at least one search in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Its ceiling and median cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so combo scores rest on text only (Inferred). Recursion and multi-threat extenders earn the strongest structural credit, while the empty Side Deck and the purity of only 29 percent across related sub-archetypes hold it back. Popularity or archetype share earned no points because no tournament or usage data is attached. The score is not an average of card scores, and it is capped low because three Forbidden cards are over the OCG copy limit, which makes the list illegal.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); empty side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: normal formula 0.80*48 + 0.20*35 = 45.4, modifiers -12 gives 33.4, then capped at 25 (theoretical/structural-only, Step 2)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Dense Reptile recursion loop from the GY
• Multiple 2500+ ATK bosses across Main and Extra Deck
• Searcher text on 12 cards gives strong access

Weaknesses

• Illegal under OCG Forbidden list (three cards)
• Empty Side Deck
• Low archetype purity (29 percent exact name)

Critical choke points

• Reptile monsters in the GY are needed for almost every recursion line
• Forbidden Extra Deck cards cannot be legally played

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three Forbidden cards over the OCG copy limit; Main 40 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side Deck is empty; Searcher text on 12 cards
• Inferred: Starter probability about 0.34 per 3-copy card in 5-card hand; Recursion and loop consistency; Bosses drive closing power
• Provisional: Meta share and matchup fit (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 record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty so post-side performance cannot be assessed
