Deskbots Deck #405604 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Deskbot field-presence ATK growth (each Deskbot gains 500 ATK per Deskbot card on field/GY) feeding Deskbot Jet, Black Rose Dragon and Samurai-style synchro/link boards (Inferred from card text); Synchro and Link beaters (Pentestag, Qliphort Genius, Psychic End Punisher) if the Deskbot line stalls (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Level 2/3/4 Deskbot to trigger the Deskbot 002/003 searches and Special Summons, then Pendulum/Synchro into a Deskbot board (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Cosmic Cyclone, Dimension Shifter) and Herald/negation text to disrupt the opposing board before the Deskbot line resolves (Inferred)
• Recovery: Deskbot 001 recursion from GY when 2 Machines are Special Summoned together, plus Deskbot Base shuffle-draw and banish-for-search (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck's Deskbot core (17 copies, 85.6% chance of at least one in an opening 5-card hand, Inferred) gives it a reasonably reliable first-turn engine. Its ceiling is limited because no recorded boards exist, so combo conversion and median output are text-only inferences. Interaction is broad on paper (6 hand traps, 19 negation-text and 20 removal-text cards, Inferred) but reads as diffuse, and 70 of 73 copies sit outside the exact Deskbots name, which weakens engine coherence. The score is capped because the list is Illegal: six copies of Forbidden cards (Dimension Shifter x3, Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent, F.A. Dawn Dragster, Trishula, PSY-Framelord Omega) exceed the OCG limits. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 47, Going Second ≈ 46, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10). Final formula: Final = 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 46.4; minus 10 banlist-exposure modifier = 36.4; Illegal legality cap applied, final = 30 (theoretical/structural only). Meta Power is provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · 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

• Engine core is dense: 17 archetype cards with 85.6% opening-hand presence (Inferred)
• Layered negation and removal text across Traps and Spells (Inferred)
• Deskbot ATK pump and Synchro/Link bosses give a credible closing board if illegal cards are removed (Verified text, Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 6 copies of Forbidden cards cannot be legally played in OCG
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation (Verified)
• Only 24 of 70 copies are in the Deskbot sub-archetype; engine coherence is diluted (Verified)
• No combo or tournament evidence; floor, median and matchup strength are unmeasured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Deskbot 001 recursion depends on two Machines being Special Summoned in the same turn (Inferred)
• Deskbot Jet is the only Deskbot Extra-Deck board breaker with ATK-scaling effects (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 6 Forbidden copies over limit; main 55 and extra 15 within size rules; Card text: Deskbot ATK pump and recursion; Archetype purity: 0% exact name, 70 off-archetype copies; No side deck; no combos; no tournament link
• Inferred: Core consistency: P(>=1 core in 5) = 0.856; Primary strategy Midrange; going-first/second plans from card text; Interaction breadth and resilience from text role hints
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13 = 40)
• 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 No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick, starter, OTK rates) Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck supplied (Side Deck size 0) deck.title is null
