The Agent Deck #618284 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Master Hyperion (2700 ATK) and Synchro/Xyz beaters after a Special Summon turn, with Agent monsters as the engine; Synchro and Xyz boss monsters (Scrap Dragon and Black Rose are not in this list; the Extra Deck holds Catastor, Armory Arm, Brionac, Leviathan Dragon, Gaia Knight, Ancient Sacred Wyvern, Gachi Gachi Gantetsu, Daigusto Phoenix)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon The Agent of Mystery - Earth to search an Agent monster, or Venus to Special Summon Mystical Shine Ball, then build toward a Synchro or Xyz. Text-only inference; no recorded boards exist.
• Turn 2 (going second): Open with hand traps (Herald of Orange Light, D.D. Crow) and Dark Hole, Bottomless Trap Hole, Torrential Tribute, Mirror Force, Dimensional Prison, then rebuild through Master Hyperion. Illegal copy counts make this theoretical.
• Recovery: Pot of Duality, Gellenduo and the Agent searchers rebuild the board; Monster Reborn and Mystical Space Typhoon recur or clear. Recovery depends on the Limited and Forbidden cards that are not legal in this format.
• After siding: No side deck supplied (side_count 0), so no post-side plan can be scored. d12 is a gap, not a verdict.

Why it scores here

This is a theoretical, structural-only read: the list breaks OCG copy limits (Herald x3 against a limit of 1) and runs five Forbidden or Limited cards, so the normal Final Contextual score is capped. The structure is real: Master Hyperion, Venus and Agent of Mystery provide a searchable engine with several hand traps and a heavy removal and negation suite, which earns the Structural credit on interruption resilience and end-board interaction. Consistency is modest, since only 9 of 55 Main Deck cards match the exact archetype name (12.9% purity) and the starter draw odds are roughly 25% per 3-copy card in a 5-card hand. No combo boards were recorded, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences. No side deck is present and no tournament or matchup data exists, so side and format fit are provisional. The score was not produced by averaging card scores or by the archetype's popularity.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.8 Midrange / 0.2 Toolbox (disclosed; Toolbox weights not separately applied). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No dated metagame: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 49.6; modifiers total -12 give 37.6; capped to 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Master Hyperion and Venus form a searchable Agent engine with Special Summon routes
• Many hand traps and removal/negation cards give broad interaction
• Extra Deck covers synchro, Xyz and fusion with several end-board options

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy limits and Forbidden cards
• Low exact-archetype purity (12.9%) hurts engine coherence
• No side deck and no recorded combo boards

Critical choke points

• Master Hyperion and the Agent chain depend on a few searchers and 3-copy starters
• Mandatory removal of Forbidden cards would change the engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy-limit violations and banlist statuses from legality; Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; Archetype purity 12.9% from composition
• Inferred: Starter draw odds from hypergeometric table; Interaction density from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (no dated sample); Side deck adaptability (no side cards)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and match record absent no side deck supplied no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
