Transcendosaurus Deck #673444 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Transcendosaurus Extra Deck bosses (Meteorus 3500, Glaciasaurus 3600, Gigantozowler 3800) reached through Dinosaur searchers and recursion; Ultimate Conductor Tyranno and Horned Saurus pressure, with Dinosaur-field Fusion/Synchro/Link extension
• Turn 1 (going first): Fossil Dig or Ground Xeno to find a Dinosaur, extend with Babycerasaurus, Souleating Oviraptor or Miscellaneousaurus, then reach a Transcendosaurus boss (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll and Maxx C as hand traps to blank the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Dinosaur recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Petiteranodon and Babycerasaurus recursion from the GY, plus Souleating Oviraptor's Dinosaur summon effects (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck's 26-copy archetype core gives about a 97% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and its Dinosaur searchers, recursion and Extra Deck bosses give it a plausible engine. Its interaction density (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Solemn Judgment, Heavy Storm, Dark Hole and several negates) and 3500+ ATK Transcendosaurus bosses give it real going-second and closing power. The score is capped low because the list is illegal: Miscellaneousaurus is over the copy limit, Solemn Judgment is over its limit, and five Forbidden cards are present. No combo boards, tournament record or guides exist, so the floor and median are inferred from card text only. Scores were assigned per dimension on the system and were not averaged from card scores, and archetype popularity earned no points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Combo secondary (not blended into weights; Midrange profile used directly). Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame, so Final = 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*56 + 0.20*40 - 4 = 48.9, then capped at 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense Dinosaur searcher and recursion engine with high core-card access (Inferred)
• Strong interaction suite across hand traps, spells and traps (Inferred)
• High-ATK Transcendosaurus Extra Deck bosses for closing (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit and Forbidden-card violations (Verified)
• Low archetype purity with 67 off-archetype copies (Verified)
• No side deck registered (Verified)
• No combo or tournament evidence to confirm the engine works in play (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Dinosaur-field requirement for Transcendosaurus summons, which breaks when the field is cleared (Inferred)
• Reliance on a small set of Limited interaction cards for going-second play (Verified banlist tokens)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status and seven violations, including five Forbidden cards and two copy-limit breaches (legality); Card stats and text for the listed cards; Archetype core group 26 copies, 0.9659 at-least-one probability; side_count 0, no combos, no tournament link, no guides
• Inferred: Dinosaur engine accessibility and redundancy; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Interaction density and hand-trap going-second value; Pilot complexity estimate
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (D13), since no dated metagame sample exists
• Data gaps: Illegal list: scores are structural-only theoretical estimates until the list is corrected No combo boards supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck registered: post-side plan cannot be assessed Deck title is null
