Topologic Deck #567740 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-summoned 3000-ATK boss monsters (Topologic Bomber Dragon, Topologic Zeroboros, Firewall Dragon Darkfluid) and Maliss Link pressure, once a Link Monster is on the field; Maliss Link Monsters banishing or negating the opponent's field to keep attacking
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Cyberse or Maliss starter, search a Link material with the searcher monsters, Link Summon a 2-3 link, then extend into a 4-5 link boss; hold Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Nibiru, Dimension Shifter if legal) to break the opponent's opening combo, then rebuild a Link board from the GY and banished Maliss cards
• Recovery: Maliss Link recursion from the GY and banish zone, plus Maliss in the Mirror and Maliss MTP-07 to add a new starter after a broken board
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list scores as a Toolbox deck with a Link-boss finish, not as a combo deck, and it is illegal as built, so the score is a capped theoretical value. Consistency is moderate: each 3-copy starter has about a 25% chance of appearing in an opening 5-card hand, while the 12 searcher-text cards give about a 72% chance of at least one searcher, so the engine is reachable but not reliable on turn 1. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: 8 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards and 27 removal-text cards give layered protection and a real going-second plan, offset by the illegal copy counts and the Forbidden cards. The deck has no side deck, no recorded boards and no tournament record, so the floor, median and ceiling cannot be measured; the 3000-ATK Link bosses are the ceiling by card text only. Popularity and archetype usage were not counted as power, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, with Midrange as a secondary read of the Link-boss finish (weights are the Toolbox row). Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: illegal_list_cap (-18); banlist_exposure (0); no_side_deck (0). Final formula: Theoretical only (Illegal list): 0.80*Structural(49.8) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 47.9, then the illegal-list cap applied: -18 => 30. Meta provisional, null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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

• Eight hand traps and 16 negation-text cards give layered interruption, including a going-second plan
• Searcher density of 12 cards makes the Maliss/Cyberse engine reachable on most hands
• Extra Deck carries three 3000-ATK Link bosses and a full Link suite (14 Link monsters)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: five copy-limit violations, two of them Forbidden cards
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Main deck spans many sub-archetypes (70 off-archetype copies) with no core engine

Critical choke points

• Link Summon lines need specific Cyberse or Maliss material on the field; if the starter is missing, the Extra Deck is dead
• The 3-copy starters are each about 25% in opening hand, so turn 1 depends on searchers
• Forbidden Called by the Grave and Dimension Shifter are not legal in this format

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status and five copy-limit violations (legality block); Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts and the size rules for OCG; Banlist status of each restricted card; Extra Deck composition: 14 Link and 1 Fusion
• Inferred: Starter and searcher probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Interaction density from card text (hand traps, negation text, removal text); Going-second hand-trap probability
• Provisional: Floor and median output (no recorded boards); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link or dated meta)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Usage statistics core cards are Ritual/Spiritual Beast cards with 8% presence; they do not match the Topologic archetype and were not used as a power signal Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
