Mathmech Deck #706368 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 46 / Extra 21 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-based combo into board negation/removal (unverified due to legality); Ritual summoning for mid-game pressure via Water Leviathan or Cyberse Magician
• Turn 1 (going first): Assemble Link board with interaction; blocked by deck illegality
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps and removal to breach opponent board; incomplete without combo evidence
• Recovery: Graveyard recursion via @Ignister and Mathmech recursion effects; cost-heavy and redundancy-limited
• After siding: No side deck present (0/15); unknown post-side strategy

Why it scores here

This deck is **illegal in OCG** (Maxx "C" Forbidden, Extra Deck 21/15 oversized), so the evaluation is structural/theoretical only and capped low. The core @Ignister/Mathmech engine (7 exact-name copies, 45 Cyberse total) suffers from weak purity (~8% archetype core in usage stats), missing 23 of 25 meta-standard cards (Firewall Dragon Singularity, Cynet Conflict, Allied Code Talker @Ignister, Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster all absent). No combo evidence or tournament data supplied; consistency and median output are text-inferred and highly uncertain. Opening hand quality is vulnerable to bricks (Magical Mallet suggests mulligan risk), and the 21-card Extra Deck has 6 flex/redundant slots unsuitable for combo lines. The deck runs 16 searchers and 6 hand traps, suggesting toolbox intent, but illegality and missing core cards prevent a meaningful final score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 36, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 41, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 28. Modifiers: Illegality (Maxx "C" + Extra Deck oversized) (-18); Missing core cards (23/25 meta-standard absent) (-10); No combo evidence + no side deck (-6). Final formula: Structural capped due to illegality (Maxx "C" Forbidden, Extra Deck 21/15); no reliable metagame — Meta provisional; Final = Theoretical-only structural baseline + legality modifier

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.3 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.18 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.35 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Searcher density (16 distinct cards with search text) provides toolbox flexibility and hand quality support
• Hand trap suite (Ash 2x, Effect Veiler 2x, Infinite Impermanence 1x) enables going-second disruption
• Recursion ecosystem via @Ignister GY recovery (Doyon, Bururu, Firewall Saber Dragon) allows multi-turn resilience
• Link climbing framework via Dark Infant, Transcode, Code Talker variants builds toward co-link board (if extra-deck legal)
• Ritual summoning option (Water Leviathan, Cyberse Magician) provides alternative win condition path

Weaknesses

• Illegal deck: Maxx "C" Forbidden in OCG; Extra Deck 21/15 oversized — cannot be played as-is
• Weak archetype purity (8% Mathmech, 40% @Ignister, 28% generic Cyberse) causes diluted engine consistency and missing meta-core cards (23 of 25 standard cards absent)
• No combo evidence supplied; median output unverified; ceiling contingent on absent cards (Firewall Singularity, Cynet Conflict, Allied Code Talker @Ignister)
• Opening-hand quality vulnerable: Magical Mallet 2x and single-copy tech suggest high mulligan/clog risk; P(brick) estimated ~35%
• Starter redundancy low: only 2 independent lines (Achichi/Pikari bootstrap vs Backup conditional); interruption recovery limited to 1–2 follow-ups
• Resource economy cost-heavy: Backup discard, A.I. Meet You LP cost, Cynet Mining mill — net advantage per turn marginal
• No side deck (0/15); post-side strategy unknown and unevaluable
• Tournament context absent; archetype meta-share and matchup performance unknown

Critical choke points

• Maxx "C" and Extra Deck violations — deck is illegal and cannot be played in official OCG events
• Missing Firewall Dragon Singularity, Cynet Conflict, Allied Code Talker @Ignister — these are 100% inclusion in meta-standard lists; their absence caps combo ceiling and board interaction quality
• Starter redundancy: if first @Ignister/Mathmech search is negated (Ash, Effect Veiler, Called by the Grave), very limited secondary lines exist; resilience drops sharply
• No recursion for Extra-Deck bosses (Firewall Dragon, Accesscode Talker, etc.); if summoned and removed, retrieval difficult
• Ritual Summoning dependency on Cynet Ritual or A.I.'s Ritual; both are once-per-turn and resource-intensive; alternative summon method unclear

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status: Illegal (Maxx "C" Forbidden, Extra Deck 21 > 15); Deck size: Main 46, Extra 21, Side 0; Archetype: Mathmech (exact-name 7 copies, 10.4% purity); Format: OCG; Card text: all 67 distinct cards resolved and confirmed; Copy histogram: 28 singles, 3 doubles, 4 triples; Usage statistics: 8% core present (2/25 meta-standard cards in deck); Role tag counts: 6 hand traps, 8 tech, 16 searchers, 12 negation text, 15 removal text
• Observed: P(≥1 @Ignister in hand 5) ≈ 0.68 via hypergeometric (12 @Ignister copies); P(≥1 hand trap in hand 6 going-second) ≈ 0.59 (6 hand traps in 46-card main); Searcher density: 16 distinct cards with 'searcher' role hint; 0.35 of main deck; Extra Deck composition: 16 Link, 2 XYZ, 2 Synchro, 1 Fusion (16 Link-heavy, suited for climbing)
• Inferred: Opening-hand quality: P(brick, no starter, no hand trap, no searcher) ≈ 0.35 (Inferred); Combo ceiling: ~65 power index if legal and fully assembled with meta-core cards (Firewall Singularity, Allied Code Talker, Cynet Conflict); heavily contingent on absent cards (Inferred); Median output: ~50–55 on sub-optimal lines and without meta-core cards present (Inferred); Interruption resilience: ~2–3 independent lines before choke point (Inferred from starter redundancy and recursion text); Resource economy: net advantage per turn estimated neutral to slightly negative due to Backup discard, A.I. Meet You LP cost, Cynet Mining mill (Inferred); Going-first board: 2–4 negations/removal pieces via Firewall/Transcode/Dark Templar; interaction_density ~2.5 (Inferred); Going-second power: moderate (6 hand traps + Cyberse Desavewurm board breaker); effectiveness contingent on breaching opponent board (Inferred); Pilotability: ~6/10 complexity; link climbing 4–6 steps, multiple targeting triggers; moderate pilot error risk (Inferred)
• Provisional: Meta Power: null — no dated metagame sample supplied; archetype meta-share unavailable (tournament_context.available = false); Matchup performance: unknown — no tournament link, no per-pilot match record, no win-rate telemetry; Post-side plan: unknown — no side deck present (0/15)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combos_evidence.total_combos = 0; combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-inferred only No tournament context: archetype meta-share, per-pilot match record, and format placement unknown No side deck: post-side strategy unevaluable No win-rate telemetry: going-first/going-second win rates, matchup outcomes, brick rates, and OTK frequency unknown No guide evidence: strategic intent and pilot notes absent; archetype meta-positioning unknown Legality violations prevent competitive evaluation: deck cannot be scored normally until Maxx "C" and Extra Deck are corrected
