Performapal Deck #711643 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum Summon into board of interaction and removal; establish negate + disruption layer; Fusion Summon high-ATK monsters (Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Performapal Gatlinghoul) for damage or control
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Pendulum Summon engine, scale from Magician/Performapal, establish negation and removal board; notably compromised by illegal cards
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps + board breaker access unclear without combo evidence; construction suggests limited going-second power
• Recovery: Recursion via GY effects (Performapal Odd-Eyes Seer, Performapal Odd-Eyes Butler) and Extra Deck Pendulum retrieval
• After siding: No side deck supplied; evaluation structural only

Why it scores here

This deck is Illegal in OCG format and cannot receive a contextual evaluation score. Six cards violate the banlist: Astrograph Sorcerer (2 copies, limit 1), Maxx "C" (forbidden), Heavymetalfoes Electrumite (forbidden), Borreload Savage Dragon (forbidden), Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom (forbidden), and Baronne de Fleur (forbidden). Additionally, no combo evidence or tournament data exist to calibrate the deck's performance. Evaluation is structural and theoretical only; a corrected, legal list is required for power assessment.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ —, Going First ≈ —, Going Second ≈ —, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ —. Modifiers: Illegal status (-100). Final formula: ILLEGAL — no contextual score computed. Deck violates OCG banlist on 6 cards. Structural evaluation suppressed.

Probability & combo summary

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

Strengths

• High searcher density (22/40 cards) supports chain of effects and recovery
• Multiple independent Pendulum starters reduce single-point choke risk structurally
• Extra Deck includes layered interaction (Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon bounce, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon negation/removal, Performapal Gatlinghoul damage)

Weaknesses

• Six illegal cards cripple the engine: Heavymetalfoes Electrumite and Exceed the Pendulum are core Extra Deck search engines, now inaccessible
• Astrograph Sorcerer over copy limit (2 run, 1 legal) removes redundancy in Stargazer setup
• Only 2 hand traps; Maxx "C" banned removes primary going-second reactivity
• Missing core cards (Supreme King Dragon Starving Venom, Beyond the Pendulum) deprive combo ceiling and recovery routes
• No side deck; best-of-3 format advantage lost

Critical choke points

• Illegal status invalidates the deck for OCG play
• Heavymetalfoes Electrumite ban removes the deck's primary Extra Deck Pendulum retrieval; Exceed the Pendulum missing compounds resource starvation
• Astrograph Sorcerer (2 copies, 1 legal) creates forced brick when both drawn early
• Baronne de Fleur ban removes a key Synchro negate option; Borreload Savage Dragon ban eliminates column-lock utility

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal in OCG: 6 cards over copy limit or Forbidden (Verified from legality.violations); Main Deck size 40, Extra Deck size 15 — within format size rules (Verified); 28 Pendulum monsters, 8 Links, 5 Fusions, 2 Synchro present in composition (Verified); Archetype core inclusion 5/9 (55.6%) from usage stats (Verified)
• Observed: Performapal archetype exact-name copies = 8; most of the engine is Magician (11) and Odd-Eyes (11) sub-archetypes (Observed from composition.archetype_spread)
• Inferred: Archetype core P(≥1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.82 from hypergeometric; actual consistency obscured by illegal copies (Inferred from probabilities.archetype_core_group); Brick rate ≈ 18% (inverse of startup); no combo data to refine (Inferred); Searcher density 22/40 suggests ongoing resource generation, but without combos the conversion rate is unknown (Inferred from role_tag_counts); Multiple independent starters (Horoscope Sorcerer, Astrograph Sorcerer, Performapal Monkeyboard, Performapal Skullcrobat Joker, Performapal Odd-Eyes Seer, Performapal Ladyange) indicate moderate redundancy (Inferred from card text); End-board interaction: Horoscope Sorcerer + Performapal Odd-Eyes Butler negation, Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon bounce, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon removal suggest 2–4 layers, unverified without combos (Inferred from text_role_hints); Going-second power severely limited by only 2 hand traps and lack of board-breaker combo lines (Inferred from composition + missing Maxx "C"); Piloting complexity moderate-high due to Pendulum Summon sequencing and effect chains (Inferred from card counts and mechanics)
• Provisional: Meta Power: Performapal archetype meta-share unknown; deck runs subset of core, missing 4/9 core cards; format fit provisional without dated metagame sample (Provisional)
• Data gaps: No combo evidence: zero parsed boards prevent calibration of ceiling, median, or floor power No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record unavailable No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN: going-first/second brick rates, matchup outcomes, OTK frequency absent No guide evidence: archetype strategy sources absent No side deck: post-side plan and best-of-3 adaptability unmeasurable Illegal status: evaluation is structural and theoretical; a corrected legal list is required for actual power assessment
