Legality
Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Lock opponent with floodgates and stun effects; grind into eventual win via removal and board pressure; Fusion Summon large beatsticks (Cyber End Dragon, Super Vehicroid, Divine Scorpion Beast) for direct damage after floodgate lock established
- Turn 1 (going first): Set up Vanity's Fiend or Fossil Dyna via Normal Summon; establish backrow floodgates (Dimensional Fissure, Macro Cosmos, Anti-Spell Fragrance, There Can Be Only One); prepare removal via Raigeki, Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder
- Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom) to disrupt opponent plays; deploy Kaiju (Gameciel) to remove key monsters; establish floodgates in response; leverage removal suite (Raigeki, Magic Cylinder) to break opponent board
- Recovery: Recycle resources via Pot of Desires/Extravagance draw; use Clockwork Night GY recursion to recover EARTH Machines and maintain floodgate density; Gizmek Orochi removal as emergency out
- After siding: No side deck provided (0 cards) — unable to assess post-side adaptability; evaluation theoretical for main deck only
Why it scores here
This deck is illegal in OCG (running 3× Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo [Forbidden], 2× Solemn Judgment and 2× Metamorphosis [Limited at 1]), and is evaluated structurally only. The list attempts a stun/floodgate hybrid with no coherent Gizmek engine (0 exact-archetype cards), instead jamming pure tech: 12 floodgates, heavy removal (Raigeki, Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder), hand traps, and a scattered Fusion toolbox with no reliable Fusion summoning enable. It lacks a proper starter line, cannot consistently assemble early board presence, and collapses to any disruption that bypasses its passive traps. The median board is a set backrow + maybe a Normal Summoned 2400 DEF body. It does not reliably convert advantage into pressure or close games. High brick rate (many dead Fusion monsters and level-10 tribute monsters with no support) and no real combo infrastructure sink consistency and resilience.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 18 | No archetype-core starters present (0/3 core cards in deck); 2 hand traps at ~21% draw rate going-second; searchers totaling 6 copies but fragmented across non-synergistic techs; hypergeometric P(≥1 in hand 5) for Orochi/Stormforth/Clockwork ≈ 53%; severely inconsistent engine access (Inferred). |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 24 | 55-card main with 25 distinct cards; 12 copies at 3-ofs (high redundancy but many are dead end-game brick bombs: 3× Vanity's Fiend, 3× Thunder King, 3× Gameciel cannot Normal Summon; 3× Fossil Dyna is Forbidden); estimated brick/garnet rate >28% from pure tribute fodder and milled Fusions (Inferred). |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 15 | No combo data supplied; textual ceiling inferred as Fusion Summon + floodgate: Metamorphosis tributes a 4-8 level monster to summon a Fusion (Divine Scorpion Beast, Magikey Beast) + backrow interaction; peak board ≈ 1-2 negations/removals + 2-3 floodgates; no synergy chains or multi-summon sequences (Inferred). |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 16 | Median board inferred as Normal Summon Vanity's Fiend or Fossil Dyna [now illegal], set 1-2 floodgates (Dimensional Fissure, Anti-Spell, Mirror Force), pass; no significant follow-up; Power Index ~35-40 (light interaction, no resource acceleration); starter diversity absent (Inferred). |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 28 | Vanity's Fiend + set floodgates provide passive blanket; Orochi as quick-effect out to monsters; but only 2 independent lines (Fiend vs tribute into Fusion); single choke point: if Fiend blocked and backrow cleared, deck folds; no graveyard recursion enabling; marginal resilience (Inferred). |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 35 | Pot of Desires (3×) and Pot of Extravagance (2×) banish for resource acceleration; Clockwork Night GY recursion (1× copy, high situational); limited grind: high milling from banish draw means GY fills quickly but deck runs thin; Gren Maju scales with banish count but is a payoff, not a recurse engine; net card economy neutral-to-negative (Inferred). |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 42 | Endboard: 1-2 floodgates (Dimensional Fissure, Anti-Spell, Macro Cosmos, There Can Be Only One), 1 monster negation (Vanity's Fiend, Thunder King via Normal Summon or tribute summon), 2-3 trap removals (Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder, Solemn Judgment); interaction density moderate but reactive-only and slow; no fast negate engine (Observed from card text, Inferred application). |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 38 | Going-second: 2 Ash Blossom hand traps (~21% hand6 draw), 3 Gameciel Kaiju for monster removal, 3 Raigeki for board clear, Solemn Judgment for negate; solid removal suite; however, deck's inability to rebuild after answering opponent board limits pressure; estimated post-board 2-turn lethal ~15% (Inferred). |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 22 | End-board ATK sources: Cyber End Dragon 4000 ATK (requires 3 Cyber Dragon Fusions, unavailable), Divine Scorpion Beast 3000 ATK + banish scaling (2-3 copies possible via Metamorphosis, conditional), Gren Maju scaling with banish (dependent on mill rate); closing power hampered by lack of OTK lines and reliance on tribute summoning in a format with numerous anti-summon techs; estimated 5-turn average to lethal (Inferred). |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 20 | 55 cards (15 over minimum); 25 distinct, high redundancy in floodgates/removal; no coherent archetype core (0% purity); deck is scattered toolbox tech piled into Stun; every card vies for limited main slots; compactness poor, many slots wasted on unsynergistic one-ofs (Master Peace, Queen of the Blazing Domain, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon); flexibility low (Inferred). |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 18 | 15 Extra Deck all Fusion Monsters; Cyber End Dragon (3×) requires 3 Cyber Dragon Fusions (not in main, never summoned); Super Vehicroid (3×), Divine Scorpion Beast (3×), Magikey Beast (3×), Cyber Twin (2×), Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon (1×) all require precise tribute conditions (level matching, specific monster types, or Magikey Fusions) rarely met; most slots dead; only Metamorphosis + 2 copies enables any Fusion summon; extra deck efficiency ~15% (Inferred). |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 0 | Side deck absent (0 cards); no post-side plan; evaluation structural only; adaptability zero (Verified from legality object). |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 28 | Gizmek archetype is a real OCG archetype (verified from deck metadata), but archetype meta-share unknown (tournament_context.available = false); deck does not run core Gizmek cards (exact-name purity 0%), instead running pure tech stun—niche positioning; format fit inferred as anti-Combo sideline tech, weak vs established meta; Provisional unless dated metagame supplied (Provisional). |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 24 | Deck complexity moderate: floodgate activation order matters, tribute summon lines require calculation, but decision trees are shallow; many lines resolve passively (set and pass); no long combo sequences; error tolerance moderate—bricking on hand of Fusions is catastrophic, but simple lines are forgiving; pilotability ~50th percentile (Inferred). |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: 0.65 Stun + 0.35 Control. Structural ≈ 24, Going First ≈ 28, Going Second ≈ 32, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 18. Modifiers: Illegal list penalty (-15); No side deck (-3); Archetype misalignment (-5). Final formula: 0.80·Structural (24) + 0.20·TournamentReliability (18) + Modifiers = 22 (Meta Provisional; ILLEGAL status depresses score from theoretical structural to final contextual range)
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.53 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.12 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.28 (all Inferred)
- Combo output: best PowerIndex 42, median 35, board-per-starter 1.2
- Turn order: — going-first lines vs — going-second lines
Strengths
- Extensive floodgate toolbox (11 different floodgates covering search denial, graveyard lockdown, Special Summon negation, type restrictions)
- Diverse removal suite (Raigeki, Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder, Kaiju, Gizmek Orochi) provides flexibility in answering opponent boards
- Going-second plan exists: Ash Blossom hand traps + Kaiju + mass removal can break many established boards
- Some grind potential via Pot of Desires/Extravagance cycled with Clockwork Night recursion
Weaknesses
- ILLEGAL for OCG play: 3 Forbidden Fossil Dyna, 2 Limited Solemn Judgment, 2 Limited Metamorphosis
- Zero archetype-core engine (0% Gizmek purity); no synergistic starters or combos; list is pure scattered tech
- Extremely high brick rate (~28%): 9 tribute-only monsters with no search or summon enable; 6 Fusion monsters requiring impossible conditions (3 identical Cyber Dragons, specific type combinations)
- No going-first board: best T1 is Normal Summon + set backrow; no tempo pressure or resource advantage generated
- Inconsistent searcher access (6 copies fragmented: Clockwork Night, Chaos Distill, Magikey Beast, Pot of Prosperity); no reliable way to fetch Gizmek or key techs
- Median endboard: 1-2 floodgates + 1 body; passive interaction only; folds to any disruption that bypasses set traps
- Extra Deck almost entirely dead: only 2 Metamorphosis enable Fusion summons, and conditions are rarely met; 13/15 slots wasted
- No side deck (0 cards) precludes best-of-3 format play; D12 score 0
Critical choke points
- Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo now Forbidden in OCG: entire floodgate lock plan depends on a card that cannot be legally run
- Metamorphosis at 1 (2 in deck): only enable for Fusion summons, but conditions so restrictive that most Fusions never summoned
- Vanity's Fiend vs Fossil Dyna conflict: both are passive lockdown, but deck runs 6 copies total of must-Normal-Summon creatures with no tutoring; opening hand collision is common
- Tribute-summoning in a format with abundant anti-summon tech (Solemn Judgment, Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence [not in deck], etc.); Master Peace and Queen of Blazing Domain are win-condition dead weight
- Single-layer interaction: backrow setup is all the deck does; once key floodgates are removed (Cosmic Cyclone, Mystical Space Typhoon, Evenly Matched), deck has no secondary plan
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fossil Dyna Pachycephalo (3×) | Any OCG-legal floodgate or stun tech (e.g., Macro Cosmos 2×, Dimensional Barrier, Summon Limit) | Fossil Dyna is Forbidden in OCG; running 3 copies is an automatic loss. Replace with legal alternatives that achieve similar lockdown. |
| 2 | Solemn Judgment (2×) [keep 1] | Solemn Strike (if legal), Solemn Warning, or additional floodgate tech | Solemn Judgment is Limited to 1 in OCG; reduce to 1 copy and fill slot with complementary negation or floodgate. |
| 3 | Metamorphosis (2×) [keep 1] | Polymerization or other Fusion summoning enable (if legal), or cut Extra Deck Fusions and replace with stun threats (e.g., Machinchef, Cyber Saurus) | Metamorphosis Limited to 1 in OCG; second copy illegal. Fusion toolbox is nearly non-functional; consider abandoning Fusion strategy entirely in favor of pure stun. |
| 4 | Master Peace, the True Dracoverlord; Master Peace, the True Dracoslaying King; Queen of the Blazing Domain; Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon; all Cyber Dragon Fusions (Cyber End Dragon, Cyber Twin Dragon) | Stun threats (e.g., Dimension Shifter, Summon Limit, Macro Cosmos, There Can Be Only One); or anti-Combo hand traps (e.g., Maxx 'C', nibiru Token Sunlight, Droll & Lock Bird) | These are win-condition monsters or Fusions with hard summoning conditions; none are consistently achievable. Deck should either commit to Fusion archetype with proper engine (Roid, Magikey) or abandon Fusions and stack pure floodgates and removal. |
| 5 | Chaos Distill (2×) | Dimensional Barrier, Summon Limit, or additional hand-trap diversity (2nd Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx 'C') | Chaos Distill is a niche tech that requires setup; its only trigger (Macro Cosmos search) is situational. Adding diverse interaction is higher value for stun strategy. |
| 6 | Side Deck (15 cards) | Deck has 0-card side deck; this is illegal in best-of-3 format. Construct a post-side plan addressing mirror match, Combo decks, and Synchro/Pendulum decks. | |
| 7 | Current deck is a contradiction: titled 'Gizmek' but contains no Gizmek synergy, no Gizmek starters, and no coherent game plan. Unifying the deck strategy will improve consistency and resilience. |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Deck legality status: Illegal (3 Forbidden Fossil Dyna, 2 Limited Solemn Judgment over limit, 2 Limited Metamorphosis over limit); Main Deck size: 55 cards (5 over OCG minimum of 40); Extra Deck size: 15 cards (at OCG limit); Side Deck size: 0 cards (illegal for best-of-3; should be 0-15); Card text excerpts: all resolved and matched to YGOVN card database; Banlist status: Fossil Dyna Forbidden, Metamorphosis Limited, Solemn Judgment Limited (verified per OCG banlist)
- Observed: Archetype purity: 0% exact-name Gizmek cards (only generic and off-archetype techs present); Floodgate density: 11 continuous/counter traps with lockdown text (Dimensional Fissure, Macro Cosmos, Anti-Spell Fragrance, There Can Be Only One, Vanity's Fiend, Thunder King Rai-Oh, Mirror Force, Magic Cylinder, Solemn Judgment, Fossil Dyna, Dimensional Barrier text flagged); Fusion Monster count: 15 all-Fusion Extra Deck; none have attainable summoning conditions in this main deck
- Inferred: Starter consistency: P(≥1 in-hand opening 5) ≈ 53% for real starters (Orochi, Stormforth, Clockwork Night); hypergeometric estimate; hand traps at ~21% hand6 draw going-second; Brick rate: estimated ~28% from 9 tribute-only monsters (Vanity's Fiend ×3, Thunder King ×3, Gameciel ×3) with no search or summon support; 6 Fusions with impossible conditions; Median endboard: Normal Summon Vanity's Fiend or Fossil Dyna (now illegal) + set 1-2 floodgates; Power Index ~35-40; no resource advantage generated; Ceiling combo: Metamorphosis into Divine Scorpion Beast + 2-3 set floodgates (Dimensional Fissure, Anti-Spell, Mirror Force); Power Index ~42; requires perfect hand + opponent board state; Going-second survivability: Ash Blossom + Kaiju + Raigeki can break most boards; ~35% success rate vs average Combo board without dedicated board wipe (inferred vs metagame); Grind game: Pot of Desires/Extravagance + Clockwork Night recycle enables ~3-turn extension; net card economy neutral to slightly negative due to banish mill; Extra Deck utility: only 2 Metamorphosis enable Fusion summons; 13/15 slots dead; efficiency ~15%; Floodgate layering: passive stack (Dimensional Fissure + Anti-Spell + Vanity's Fiend) blocks most Combo starters; however, single disruption (spell/trap removal) collapses all layers simultaneously; Pilotability: moderate complexity; no long combo chains; decision trees shallow; passive floodgate stack reduces skill floor but also limits ceiling recovery
- Provisional: Meta Power: archetype meta-share unknown (tournament_context.available = false); Stun strategy is niche positioning in OCG meta; Provisional until dated metagame sample supplied; Matchup fit: estimated Stun vs Combo = 45% (Combo plays through floodgates faster than Stun stabilizes), Stun vs Midrange = 55%, Stun vs Control = 40%; unverified without tournament data; Post-side performance: no side deck provided; theoretical post-side plan cannot be evaluated
- Data gaps: No combo data supplied (combos_evidence.total_combos = 0): all combo analysis is textual inference, not observed board frequency No tournament link: archetype meta-share, per-pilot match record, and metagame context absent; Meta Power is Provisional No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN: brick rate, starter consistency, post-side performance, matchup records are all Inferred or Unknown No guides or strategy references (guides_evidence.total_guides = 0): deck intent and core strategy ambiguous (is it Gizmek combo, stun control, or floodgate toolbox?) Legality violations make structural evaluation theoretical-only: cannot recommend optimized play without resolving illegal card status No side deck (0 cards): best-of-3 format unplayable; D12 score bottomed at 0; post-side adaptability cannot be assessed
