Abyss Actor Deck #690981 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 0/100 (±0 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Control, Interaction
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum Summon + Link synergy into multi-negation boards; Interaction-based grind via Traps and removal
• Turn 1 (going first): Establish Pendulum Scale, Link Summon interaction pieces (Gorgon, W:P Fancy Ball), set backrow Traps
• Turn 2 (going second): Leverage Dominus Trap suite and hand traps to disrupt, then extend via Pendulum recovery
• Recovery: Abyss Script recursion (Superstar, Abysstainment) to rebuild; Bystial package for GY interaction
• After siding: Unable to construct; no Side Deck provided

Why it scores here

This deck is ILLEGAL in OCG due to Maxx "C" (Forbidden), preventing a normal contextual score. The structural analysis shows a Pendulum-Link hybrid with solid engine accessibility (P[core ≥1] ≈ 0.99) and reasonable interaction density via Dominus Traps and hand traps, but median combo output remains unclear due to absent combo data. The Pendulum core (23 Abyss Actor cards + Dominus supplements) offers recovery via Script recycling and moderate board-breaking through Bystial tech. However, brick risk is non-trivial (redundant Normal Summons, conflicting activation windows), offensive closing power is limited (low ATK ceilings, no direct damage), and missing core staples (Super Producer, Harpie's Feather Duster, Hyper Director) further degrade consistency. The deck shows coherent regional construction but lacks the density or redundancy to score competitively even if legalized.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: Legality Violation (-100). Final formula: ILLEGAL — Maxx "C" Forbidden in OCG. Structural evaluation = 0.80*Structural (55) + 0.20*TR (48) = 52.4 → capped to 0 per legality violation. Meta Power Provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core accessibility robust: P(≥1 Pendulum starter T1) ≈ 0.99.
• Dual-purpose backrow: Dominus Traps (Spark, Impulse) provide hand-activatable interaction without committing field resources.
• Recursion pipeline: Superstar and Abysstainment enable Script recovery and repeated setup across turns.
• Bystial bridge: Druiswurm and Magnamhut add independent GY removal and Special Summon lines, reducing dependency on Pendulum scale alone.
• Interaction density moderate: 7 hand traps + 8 Traps (interaction-tagged) + 2–3 Link-board negations create layered disruption.

Weaknesses

• ILLEGAL in OCG: Maxx "C" Forbidden — deck cannot compete.
• Offensive closing power extremely low: no boss monsters above 3500 ATK, no piercing/direct damage, reliant on 2–3 turn clock.
• Brick risk non-trivial: conflicting Normal Summons (multiple Pendulum L4 monsters compete for field), activation window collisions (Dominus requires opponent GY monster; Songs of Dominators requires no GY Traps).
• Missing core staples: Super Producer, Harpie's Feather Duster, Hyper Director (66% core present vs. 100% meta); reduces combo ceiling and Extra-Deck utility.
• Combo floor/median unclear: no recorded boards limit ceiling/floor read; text-inferred lines are fragile to common interactions (Ash Blossom on Dress Rehearsal shuts down search).
• No Side Deck: zero post-side adaptability; cannot tune for matchups in best-of-3.

Critical choke points

• Dress Rehearsal live on MP1: single point of failure for turn 1 consistency; if negated or milled, hand quality degrades sharply.
• Pendulum Scale disruption: if Scale broken early (Ash on Curtain Raiser or Dress Rehearsal), deck struggles to recover and link-summon extensions.
• Trap GY dependency: Dominus Traps require opponent GY or prior Trap setup; against empty-GY decks, Spark and Impulse dead-weight.
• Extra-Deck flexibility gap: missing Hyper Director (3 copies → 0) and Super Producer (2 typical, 0 run) narrows consistent boards.
• Maxx "C" illegality: immediate deck rejection in OCG competition.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal in OCG (Maxx "C" Forbidden).; Main Deck 40, Extra Deck 15 comply with size rules.; Archetype core: 23 Abyss Actor + Dominus cards, 14 generic/tech cards.; Card text: Dress Rehearsal (searcher), Curtain Raiser (conditional self-summon starter), Superstar (Script recovery), Dominus Spark/Impulse (hand-activatable Traps).; Usage stats: 52% core cards present (13/25 meta-core cards run); missing Super Producer, Hyper Director, Harpie's Feather Duster.; Legality: Maxx "C" over copy limit (1 run, 0 legal), Bystial Druiswurm and Magnamhut Limited (1 each legal), Called by the Grave Limited (1 legal), Droll & Lock Bird Semi-Limited (1 of 2 legal).
• Observed: Hand-trap density 7/40 = 0.175; includes Ash Blossom (2), Infinite Impermanence (3), Droll & Lock Bird (1), Maxx "C" (1).; Trap density 11/40 = 0.275; includes Dominus Spark, Dominus Impulse, Songs of the Dominators, Infinite Impermanence, and Abyss Script recursion.; Link Extra Deck: 13 Links vs. 1 Synchro, 1 XYZ; Abyss Actor Links present (0 Hyper Director copies vs. 3 meta-standard).
• Inferred: P(≥1 archetype core in opening hand 5) ≈ 0.99 from hypergeometric (23 copies, 5-card hand).; Brick estimate ~5%: conflicting Normal Summons (multiple L4 Pendulums), activation window collisions (Dominus requires opponent GY state).; Combo ceiling: 2–3 negations + 1–2 removal via Gorgon, W:P Fancy Ball, Underworld Goddess; missing Hyper Director and Super Producer reduces chain-extension and Extra-Deck recycling.; Combo floor: 1–2 negations + 1 removal if Dress Rehearsal survives; median likely 1–2 negations due to absent combo data and high disruption points.; Going-second board-breaking: Dominus Traps, Bystial removal, hand traps support; Accesscode and Underworld Goddess enable late-game removals; estimated 60/100 going-second power.; Tournament reliability reduced: brick risk + missing staples + no Side Deck = inconsistency and no post-side adaptation.; Error tolerance moderate: Pendulum Scale manipulation and Trap sequencing require decision-making; misplay punished via turn loss.
• Provisional: Meta Power null: no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share unknown.; Matchup coverage unknown: without dated meta, cannot assess format fit or common-interaction resilience.; Post-side plan unknown: no Side Deck provided; cannot evaluate best-of-3 stability.
• Data gaps: No combo boards resolved: ceiling, floor, median, and starter diversity are text-only inferences. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent; Meta Power uncomputable. No win-rate telemetry: going-first/going-second win rates, brick rate, matchup performance not available in YGOVN. No Side Deck: post-side plan and adaptability inferred as zero; best-of-3 stability unmeasurable. Legality violation overrides contextual scoring: deck cannot be evaluated in normal framework due to Maxx "C" Forbidden.
