Battlin' Boxer Deck #567288 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz Monsters from the Extra Deck (Number C79: Battlin' Boxer General Kaiser, Battlin' Boxer King Dempsey, Number 79: Battlin' Boxer Nova Kaiser) attacking through a hand-trap-protected board; Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke and Battlin' Boxer Cheat Commissioner as board-control and attack-redirect bodies
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Battlin' Boxer Uppercutter, Promoter or Chief Second to Normal Summon/Special Summon into a Xyz, holding Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom and Effect Veiler for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler and Infinite Impermanence (about 79% chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand, Inferred) to break the opponent's starter, then rebuild the board with Battlin' Boxer Promoter or Sparrer into Xyz Summons
• Recovery: Battlin' Boxer monsters recur from the Graveyard through Battlin' Boxing Spirits, Battlin' Boxer Switchitter and Glassjaw; Uppercutter and Chief Second add Battlin' Boxer monsters back to hand
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Battlin' Boxer monster on turn one: 18 archetype-core copies give about a 95% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate). Its interaction package is the strongest part of the system, with 9 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards in the Main Deck, and it is about 79% likely to hold one in a 6-card hand when going second (Inferred). It recovers through Graveyard recursion and searchers, and its Xyz finishers reach 2300 to 2600 ATK. The score comes from consistency, interaction and recovery on the system, not from Battlin' Boxer being a popular archetype and not from averaging card scores. The list is Illegal (three Forbidden or over-limit cards, and Ash Blossom over its Semi-Limited cap), so the score is capped at 35 and labelled structural-only; no combos, guides, tournament data or side deck are available.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Meta is provisional: 0.80*57 + 0.20*48 = 55.2; modifiers -11 gives 44.2; capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Strong hand-trap and negation density (9 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards) that protects the Xyz plan
• Archetype core is well represented (18 copies), giving a high opening-hand starter rate
• Extra Deck closers (King Dempsey, General Kaiser) provide 2300-2600 ATK bosses
• Graveyard recursion and searchers reduce the cost of recovering after disruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden cards and one over-limit Semi-Limited card must be removed before it is playable
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptability
• Only 56.1% exact-archetype purity, with generic and off-archetype support diluting the engine
• No combo or tournament data, so ceiling, median and meta fit cannot be verified

Critical choke points

• Starters are single-copy-dependent on Battlin' Boxer monsters in hand, and the 3-copy starter appears in a 5-card hand only about 32% of the time (Inferred)
• Forbidden cards occupy Main Deck and Extra Deck slots, so the deck cannot be played as listed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 42, Extra 15, Side 0 are within the OCG size rules; Three Forbidden cards and one Semi-Limited over-limit card are present; Battlin' Boxer archetype purity is 56.1% (exact name)
• Inferred: Opening-hand starter probability about 0.95 for the archetype core and 0.32 for a 3-copy starter; Hand-trap presence about 79% in a 6-card hand going second; Interaction and recovery reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Format fit (D13) and tournament reliability are unverified
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck No side deck registered Usage statistics mark King Dempsey, Lead Yoke and Nova Kaiser as not in this deck, but the cards list runs them (2-3 copies each); the usage flags conflict with the card list and were not resolved
