Jinzo Deck #564429 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 6 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Jinzo-lock board control with Jinzo-named attackers and Cyber Dragon / Cyber Twin Dragon Fusion pressure; Jinzo - Layered control swing and Cyber End Dragon (4000 ATK) when materials line up
• Turn 1 (going first): Search or summon a Jinzo-named starter (Jinzo - Jector, Psychic Bounder, Law of the Cosmos) and set up Jinzo lock against Trap-heavy boards; Cyber Dragon as a T1 summon only when the opponent has a monster
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) and Jinzo-named summons through the opponent's board; the deck has no defined counter to a clean first turn
• Recovery: Recur Jinzo from the Graveyard through Jinzo - Returner, Jinzo - Jector and Psychic Megacyber; Psychic Wave can send Jinzo from the Deck
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The list is illegal: Pot of Greed (Forbidden in OCG) is run once, so the final score is capped and the evaluation is theoretical and structural only. Scored as a system, the deck reaches Jinzo-named starters with a 0.27 chance for at least one of the three copies of Jinzo or Cyber Dragon in the opening five (Inferred hypergeometric estimate), and a Jinzo-named starter in the opening hand is still well under even odds. Its interaction suite (Jinzo lock, Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Lightning Storm) gives it a real control plan once it lands, and Graveyard recursion (Jinzo - Returner, Jector, Megacyber) helps it recover. Archetype popularity and the Jinzo name were not credited; no card scores were averaged. Exact-name purity is only 39.7%, with 24 generic cards and 24 spells/traps, so consistency is weak and there is no side deck and no recorded combos to confirm any of this.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary; weights used are the Midrange profile in full. Structural ≈ 42, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); unrecoverable choke point (-3). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*Structural(42) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + modifiers(-7) = 34; Illegal-list cap applied, final 20 (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power is null/provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · 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

• Jinzo lock and Trap-negation suite gives control against Trap-heavy boards
• Interaction suite includes three hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) plus Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster
• Graveyard recursion through Jinzo - Returner, Jector and Megacyber
• Heavy Extra Deck spread: Cyber End Dragon 4000 ATK and Cyber Twin Dragon 2800 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal in its format because Pot of Greed is run at 1 copy under a Forbidden status
• Starters are 3-copy cards with low opening-hand access
• 24 spell and trap slots and 52 main cards dilute the engine and raise brick risk
• No side deck and no post-side plan
• Exact-name purity is only 39.7%, with many generic off-archetype cards

Critical choke points

• Jinzo or Cyber Dragon as the first starter
• Jinzo presence for Law of the Cosmos, Psychic Wave and Everlasting Alloy to function
• Cyber Dragon materials for Cyber End Dragon and Cyber Twin Dragon

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 52 cards, Extra 6, Side 0; legal size ranges are 40-60 main, 0-15 Extra, 0-15 side; Pot of Greed is Forbidden in OCG and is run once, which is the only copy-limit violation; Harpie's Feather Duster, Monster Reborn and Terraforming are Limited at 1 copy each (run at 1); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is Semi-Limited at 2 copies (run at 1); Super Polymerization is Semi-Limited at 2 copies (run at 1); Exact-name purity is 39.7% (23 of 58 Jinzo-named or generic copies); No side deck and no recorded combos
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter access is about 0.27 for 3-copy Jinzo or Cyber Dragon; Going-second hand-trap coverage is about 0.31; Brick and dead-hand risk is high from conditional Jinzo spells; Jinzo lock is strongest against Trap-heavy boards; Structural score 42 and tournament reliability 35
• Provisional: Meta Power is null because no dated metagame sample is supplied; Matchup and format fit (D13) because no archetype meta-share is available
• Data gaps: No recorded combos; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate or brick-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN No side deck, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null in the export
