Battlin' Boxer Deck #600077 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rescue-ACE board presence and high-ATK Rescue-ACE / Link pressure (Turbulence, Preventer, Fire Engine, Raging Phoenix) once the Rescue-ACE web is live; Hand-trap and negation attrition (Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Evenly Matched, Nibiru) that trades resources for tempo
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher or Rescue-ACE starter (Air Lifter / Impulse / Hydrant), use ALERT! or Air Lifter to add more Rescue-ACE pieces, then Link or XYZ into a 2500+ ATK board
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold a hand trap (about 87% chance of at least one in the six-card hand, Inferred) to negate the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Rescue-ACE recursion
• Recovery: Banish Rescue-ACE cards from the GY to Special Summon Turbulence or Preventer, and use RESCUE! or ALERT! to pull monsters back
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This is an illegal list: Droll & Lock Bird is run three times against a limit of one, and Called by the Grave and Number 41: Bagooska are Forbidden in OCG. Under the rubric it is capped and treated as structural-only, so the 25 reflects the list as built rather than a playable deck. Structurally the list has a real engine web: about 72% (Inferred) to find a searcher in an opening five, and 15 hand traps give strong going-second interaction. The score comes from consistency, interaction density and the Rescue-ACE recursion on the system, not from Battlin' Boxer's popularity or from averaging the card scores. Archetype purity is only 1.4% exact-name, so the engine depends on a Rescue-ACE and Superheavy Samurai coalition that is only loosely coherent. With no combo boards, no side deck and no tournament data, floor and ceiling remain Inferred and confidence is Low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49.6, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*49.6 + 0.20*45 = 48.7 theoretical; banlist modifier -10 gives 38.7; Illegal cap sets the reported score to 25 (structural-only, not a normal Final Contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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

• High hand-trap and negation density gives a strong going-second answer (Inferred)
• Rescue-ACE recursion (banish to summon, ALERT!, RESCUE!) gives recovery after interaction (Inferred)
• Closing power at 2800 to 3000 ATK on several Extra Deck monsters (Verified stat)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Droll & Lock Bird x3 against a limit of 1, plus two Forbidden cards (Verified)
• Low archetype purity (1.4% exact-name), so the engine relies on a loose coalition of sub-archetypes (Verified composition)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability (Verified composition)
• Many low-impact tech cards dilute consistency (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Rescue-ACE starter access depends on a few searchers (ALERT!, Air Lifter, Reinforcement of the Army); a dead opening hand loses the engine (Inferred)
• Going-first board relies on a single Rescue-ACE starter line before hand traps are spent (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Droll & Lock Bird x3 over the Limited cap; Called by the Grave and Number 41 are Forbidden (Verified); Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; the Side Deck is empty (Verified); Exact-name purity 1.4%; Rescue-ACE 24 copies, Superheavy Samurai 8 copies (Verified)
• Inferred: Searcher hit 72.3% and hand-trap hit 86.8% from the hypergeometric table (Inferred); Interaction quality and going-second strength from card text (Inferred); Brick rate and recovery estimates from composition (Inferred)
• Provisional: Matchup fit and meta standing: no tournament link or dated metagame sample (Provisional)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null and Side Deck is empty
