Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Summon a high‑impact Yubel monster (Yubel, Phantom of Yubel, or Yubel – The Loving Defender Forever) and use its damage/effect or direct attacks to close the game.; Board‑clear with Evenly Matched followed by a Yubel boss or a fusion monster that outdamages the opponent.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a hand trap (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom, etc.) and a Yubel‑engine starter such as Samsara D Lotus or Opening of the Spirit Gates to get a Yubel monster on the field early.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps and Forbidden Droplet to disrupt the opponent, then activate Evenly Matched to equalize board size and summon a Yubel boss from the hand, deck or GY.
• Recovery: Recursion via Mature Chronicle counters, Eternal Favorite, and draw engines (Mulcharmy Fuwalos, Triple Tactics Talent, A Bao A Qu) to rebuild resources after disruption.
• After siding: No side deck; rely on flexible extra‑deck summons (A Bao A Qu, Unchained Soul of Sharvara, Accesscode Talker) to adapt after the turn‑1‑2 game‑state.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens with a hand trap and a Yubel‑engine starter in over 90 % of opening hands, letting it bring a Yubel monster to the field early. Its abundant negation and board‑clear tools give it solid resilience to disruption, while draw and recursion cards keep resources flowing. However, the list is bloated with off‑archetype cards, has no side deck, and lacks a tight combo line, which drags down efficiency and matchup coverage. The final score reflects strong control and resource loops but penalises the low archetype purity and limited adaptability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Control. Structural ≈ 62.35, Going First ≈ 65, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Low archetype purity (-2); No side deck (-2); Off‑theme extra‑deck cards (-1); Strong hand‑trap suite (1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.9 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.1 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Very high opening‑hand consistency for Yubel engine pieces
• Extensive hand‑trap and negation suite
• Multiple draw and recursion engines
• Several powerful Yubel‑related win conditions

Weaknesses

• Low archetype purity – many off‑theme cards dilute consistency
• No side deck limits adaptability to meta
• Extra deck contains unrelated monsters, reducing efficiency
• Lack of a clear combo line; relies on control rather than burst

Critical choke points

• Getting a Yubel monster in hand or on the field early
• Protecting the Yubel boss from removal or banishment
• Managing limited cards (Bystial, Phantom of Yubel) that are essential for some win routes

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Legal; Card copy limits from legality; Probability tables from evidence.json
• Inferred: Engine accessibility from archetype core probability; Brick estimate from proxy brick probability; Combo ceiling and floor from card text and engine design; Resilience from multiple hand traps and starter diversity; Resource economy from draw/recursion cards listed; Interaction quality from negation and board‑break cards; Going‑second power from hand trap group probability; Closing power from Yubel boss abilities; Main‑deck efficiency from archetype purity percentage; Extra‑deck efficiency from extra deck breakdown; Side‑deck adaptability from side count zero; Matchup fit from missing tournament data
• Provisional: Meta power due to absent tournament context
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
