Legality

Main 30 / Extra 9 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

  • Win condition: Xyz summon big Galaxy-Eyes dragons and overwhelm with attacks/negates; Board control via negation and removal
  • Turn 1 (going first): Establish Rank 8 Xyz like Number 90 Photon Lord with negate, set Tachyon Transmigration
  • Turn 2 (going second): Use Forbidden Droplet and Photon Stream to clear board then Xyz summon for OTK
  • Recovery: Galaxy Trance, Photon Emperor, Solflare Dragon recursion
  • After siding: No side deck (Duel Links format)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens with core searchers (Galaxy Soldier, Melody of Awakening Dragon) given a 30-card list and hypergeometric P(core)≈0.997, but its median output is a single Rank 8 Xyz rather than a layered board because key extra-deck staples are missing. Consistency and compact main deck are strengths, while interruption resilience is moderate due to redundant starters and recursion. Popularity of Galaxy Photon archetype did not earn points; the score reflects system synergy and not average card scores. Going-second power is fair via Forbidden Droplet and removal, but limited side adaptation caps tournament reliability.

Dimension scores

# Dimension Score Evidence
D1 Engine Accessibility & Consistency 80 P(open ≥1 archetype core in 5)≈0.997 from 19 copies; multiple searchers (Inferred)
D2 Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management 75 30-card compact list with few dead cards; GE Photon Dragon can be brick without tributes (Inferred)
D3 Combo Conversion & Ceiling 70 Best line yields Rank 8 negate (Number 90) + 4000 ATK attacker via Melody+Soldier (Inferred)
D4 Combo Floor & Median Output 60 No recorded combos; median expected single Xyz summon with minimal interaction (Inferred)
D5 Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy 65 Starter diversity (Soldier, Melody, Expedition, Hyper Galaxy) and GY recursion provide moderate route redundancy (Inferred)
D6 Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind 60 Resource regeneration via Galaxy Trance, Photon Emperor, Solflare Dragon but small grind (Inferred)
D7 End-Board & Interaction Quality 65 Interaction from Number 90 negate, Tachyon Transmigration, Veiler, Droplet but low layering (Inferred)
D8 Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power 70 Going-second handtrap P≈0.50 and Forbidden Droplet (3) enable board break (Inferred)
D9 Offensive Pressure & Closing Power 75 Extra deck includes 4000 ATK bosses and multi-attack C62 for OTK pressure (Inferred)
D10 Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility 80 Main deck 30 cards, 6 triples, high purity of LIGHT Dragon engine (Inferred)
D11 Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage 70 Extra deck 9 slots used for Rank 4/8/9/10 and Link, missing some core Xyz (Inferred)
D12 Side Deck Adaptability 40 Side deck absent (Duel Links 0 side) limiting post-side adaptation (Inferred)
D13 Matchup Coverage & Format Fit 50 No dated metagame sample; archetype exists in usage stats only (Provisional)
D14 Pilotability & Error Tolerance 65 Combo lines are straightforward Xyz summons but multiple steps require careful material management (Inferred)

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 69, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 70, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 62. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-2); engine_deviation (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

  • Compact 30-card consistency
  • Multiple searchers and starters
  • Strong going-second board break with Forbidden Droplet

Weaknesses

  • Missing 50% of archetype core extra deck cards
  • Limited layering of interaction
  • No side deck for best-of-3

Critical choke points

  • Tachyon Transmigration Limited to 1 copy
  • Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon can be dead without tribute setup
Priority Remove Add Reason
1 Photon Cerberus Galaxy Knight Cerberus is weak vanilla; Galaxy Knight improves rank8 consistency (usage core missing)

Evidence & confidence

  • Verified: Legality status Legal; Card text from evidence; Banlist Limited Tachyon Transmigration
  • Observed: Usage statistics core inclusion %
  • Inferred: Consistency probabilities; Combo ceiling from text; Opening hand quality from copy histogram
  • Provisional: Matchup fit no meta sample
  • 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
