Zoodiac Deck #727397 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Illegal
• Secondary strategies: none
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Unable to evaluate — deck is illegal; N/A
• Turn 1 (going first): N/A
• Turn 2 (going second): N/A
• Recovery: N/A
• After siding: No side deck

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal in OCG format and cannot receive a normal evaluation. It violates the banlist on five cards (Maxx "C", Appointer of the Red Lotus, M-X-Saber Invoker are Forbidden; Radiant Typhoon Chant is Limited to 1 but runs 3; Zoodiac Ratpier is Limited to 1 but runs 2) and exceeds the Main Deck size limit. A legal version would need to be reconstructed before structural scoring can proceed.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: None — illegal deck. Structural ≈ 0, Going First ≈ 0, Going Second ≈ 0, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 0. Modifiers: Illegal status (-100). Final formula: Illegal deck cap: 0/100. No structural score computed.

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

• If legalized, the deck runs strong hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird) and interaction pieces.
• Radiant Typhoon engine (10 cards core) has searcher density and floating potential.
• Zoodiac backbone (Ratpier, Barrage) is a proven archetype framework.

Weaknesses

• **ILLEGAL: 5 banlist/copy-limit violations block tournament play.**
• Missing 7 of 12 core Zoodiac cards (only 41.7% core present), gutting engine consistency.
• No Zoodiac Boarbow, Hammerkong, Drident, or Tigermortar limits end-board diversity.
• No Fire Formation - Tenki (72.7% core inclusion) cripples Normal Summon starter access.
• Combo evidence absent; cannot verify board consistency or turn-1 line strength.
• Side Deck empty; no post-side plan for best-of-3.

Critical choke points

• **Deck is unplayable in OCG until violations are corrected.**
• Maxx "C" (Forbidden), Appointer of the Red Lotus (Forbidden), M-X-Saber Invoker (Forbidden) must be removed.
• Radiant Typhoon Chant must be cut from 3 to 1 copy.
• Zoodiac Ratpier must be cut from 2 to 1 copy.
• Missing 7 core Zoodiac cards suggests the builder does not understand the archetype or lacks access.
• Without a clear combo roadmap (none supplied in evidence) and missing staple Zoodiacs, the deck likely bricks frequently even if legalized.

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck ID 727397 exists in YGOVN database.; Legality status: Illegal (5 specific copy-limit and banlist violations confirmed).; Maxx "C" is Forbidden in OCG (legal copies: 0, copies_run: 1).; Appointer of the Red Lotus is Forbidden in OCG (legal copies: 0, copies_run: 1).; M-X-Saber Invoker is Forbidden in OCG (legal copies: 0, copies_run: 1).; Radiant Typhoon Chant is Limited to 1 in OCG (legal copies: 1, copies_run: 3).; Zoodiac Ratpier is Limited to 1 in OCG (legal copies: 1, copies_run: 2).; Main Deck: 56 cards (OCG rules: 40–60, so within bounds).; Extra Deck: 15 cards (OCG limit: 15, at maximum).; Side Deck: 0 cards (OCG allows 0–15; this is legal but suboptimal for best-of-3).; Archetype tag: Zoodiac; contains Radiant Typhoon and Mulcharmy splice.; Card text for all 43 unique cards resolved and present in evidence.
• Observed: Core Zoodiac inclusion rate: 41.7% (5 of 12 core cards present; 7 missing including Boarbow, Hammerkong, Drident).; Hand trap density: 7 copies (Ash Blossom ×2, Infinite Impermanence ×3, Droll & Lock Bird ×1, Maxx "C" ×1 [Forbidden]).; Radiant Typhoon card count: 22 copies in deck (core + Chant over-limit).; Spell/Trap removal and negation text: 14 removal-text cards, 18 negation-text cards detected via regex flags.
• Inferred: Consistency estimate: P(≥1 Zoodiac core in opening 5) ≈ 0.64; P(brick/garnet) ≈ 0.36 — archetype too light on core monsters (Inferred from probabilities.archetype core).; Radiant Typhoon searcher density high (10+ searcher-text cards), but engine cohesion unclear without combo boards (Inferred from card text + role hints).; Likely turn-1 plan: search Zoodiac starters (Ratpier, Barrage) or Radiant Typhoon recursion via Mystical Space Typhoon cycle, then build Zoodiac Xyz board. Requires reconstruction validation (Inferred).; Turn-2 plan: hand traps + Infinite Impermanence set rotation to disrupt, then board break + Zoodiac Xyz removal. Speculative without combo lines (Inferred).; Interruption resilience: limited by missing Boarbow/Drident/Hammerkong and no described backup lines; estimated low (Inferred).; Going-second capability: Harpie's Feather Duster + removal spells present; likely moderate with proper pilot (Inferred).
• Provisional: Meta Power: unknown — no tournament link, no dated metagame sample. Archetype meta-share unavailable.; Matchup win rates: unknown (no pilot data, no per-matchup telemetry in YGOVN).; Brick rate precise calibration: needs pilot log data or larger sample (Provisional).; Post-side reliability: deck has zero Side Deck slots filled; best-of-3 planning is speculative (Provisional).
• Data gaps: Legality failure: deck cannot be submitted to YGOVN evaluation until banlist/copy-limit violations are corrected. No combo boards supplied — no parsed best line, median power index, or board per starter data. No tournament link — archetype meta-share, per-pilot match records, and format-level metagame context absent. No win-rate telemetry — YGOVN does not materialize going-first/going-second win rates, matchup breakdowns, or brick frequency. No guide or strategy snippets for this specific deck variant. No side deck filled — best-of-3 post-side plan cannot be evaluated. Core Zoodiac set incomplete (7 of 12 missing) — unclear whether this is intentional hybrid design or incomplete list.
