Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 52/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz Summon into boss monsters (Number F0, Gunkan Suship Uni-class Super-Dreadnought) with layered negation and board control; Grind game through recursion and resource generation via Xyz material effects
• Turn 1 (going first): Establish Rank 4 or Rank 5 Xyz board with negation effects (Tornado Dragon, Gagagaga Magician, Unbreakable Xyz Barrier) and hand traps
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Kaiju tributes, board wipes (Dark Hole, Book of Eclipse), and hand traps to break opponent board, then Xyz Summon into board-breaker Xyz (Castel, Tornado Dragon)
• Recovery: Recursion via Onomatokage, Dodododwarf Gogogoglove, and Gagagaga Magician to rebuild Xyz materials; float effects from main deck monsters to extend plays
• After siding: Unknown—no side deck provided; assumed anti-meta tech adjustments

Why it scores here

This Gunkan hybrid opens a consistent Rank 4/Rank 5 Xyz board through reliable searchers (Painful Decision, Onomatopickup, Gunkan engine) with ~71% chance of at least one core starter in hand going first. The Extra Deck is well-optimized with 15 dedicated Xyz slots offering layered removal and negation. However, the deck is hampered by missing critical Gunkan staples (Gunkan Suship Ikura, Shirauo, Rescue Rabbit, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, Number F0: Utopic Future), reducing core presence to 25% of the archetype standard. Without combo evidence, ceiling inference shows modest median output (2–3 Xyz bodies with conditional float), and going-second breaking power is solid via Kaiju tributes and mass removal but depends on hand-trap backup. No side deck undermines post-match adaptability. Popularity and archetype meta-share were not factored into the score—this reflects the system's actual consistency and resilience, not its metagame standing.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Missing core Gunkan staples (-5); No side deck (-3); Oversize main deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.71 · 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

• Consistent access to Rank 4/5 Xyz via searchers and float effects
• Strong Extra Deck toolbox with 15 dedicated Xyz slots covering removal, negation, and recovery
• Dual going-second strategy via Kaiju tributes and mass wipes (Dark Hole, Book of Eclipse)
• Hand-trap coverage (Skull Meister, Evenly Matched) for disruption
• Recursion engine (Onomatokage, Gogogoglove, Gagagaga Magician) supports grinding
• Overconsistency through multiple independent starter lines (Gunkan, Onomat, Gagaga, Gogogo)

Weaknesses

• Missing four mandatory Gunkan core cards (Ikura, Shirauo, Rescue Rabbit, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS) reduces ceiling and core coverage to 25%
• Median combo output modest (2–3 Xyz bodies); inferred power index lower than meta Gunkan variants
• Oversize main deck (+12 cards) dilutes consistency and increases brick variance
• No side deck limits post-side adaptability in best-of-3 matches
• Offensive closing power weak; most Xyz are defensive; no burn or OTK payoffs
• Dependence on Xyz Summon as only Extra Deck access (extra summon restriction effects on core starters)

Critical choke points

• If opening hand lacks both Gunkan/Onomat starter and searcher (≈28% chance), board is severely restricted
• Loss of any single Rank 4 or Rank 5 Xyz mid-combo can cascade into incomplete board due to limited redundancy
• Oversize deck increases likelihood of drawing non-synergistic tech cards (e.g., single Kaiju) in hand
• No Number F0 Utopic Future means loss of key going-first protection and OTK scaling line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 52 main, 15 extra, 0 side; OCG legal; Card text: all 43 distinct main/extra cards resolved and parsed; Archetype core: Gunkan Suship Shari (3), Gunkan Suship Shari Red (3), Gunkan Suship Uni (2) confirmed; Extra Deck: all 15 Xyz slots confirmed, no Fusion/Synchro/Link
• Observed: Archetype usage stats: Gunkan core inclusion rates (100% for Uni, Shari, Shari Red; 0% for Ikura, Shirauo, Rescue Rabbit in this deck); Searcher density: 7 cards with 'searcher' role hints identified in main deck
• Inferred: Consistency: P(≥1 Gunkan/Onomat core) ≈ 0.71 going first via hypergeometric estimate; Combo ceiling: Inferred from card text as Rank 5 Gunkan Uni-class with draw effect or dual Rank 4 boards; Median output: ~2–3 Xyz bodies with float based on starter diversity and effect stacking; Going-second plan: Kaiju tributes + Dark Hole/Book of Eclipse enable 2-step interaction recovery; Brick rate: Estimated at ≈5% given searcher overdensity and no hard garnets; Resource economy: Positive from float effects, Xyz material manipulation, and recursion suite; Pilotability: Moderate complexity (~5–7 decision points per combo line); error tolerance modest due to missing core enablers
• Provisional: Meta Power: No dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share in format unknown; Tournament Reliability: Estimated from consistency + hand-trap coverage + recursion; no tournament record for this deck; Matchup viability: Format speed and common interaction vectors unknown without meta data
• Data gaps: No combo boards parsed: ceiling, median, power index, board-per-starter, and interaction density are text-only inferences No tournament link: archetype meta-share, per-pilot match record, and format representation absent No side deck: post-side stability and matchup adaptability cannot be evaluated No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second game-level outcomes, brick rates, OTK rates, and matchup win rates are unknown No dated metagame sample: Meta Power remains provisional; format speed, common interruptions, and top-deck coverage cannot be calibrated
