Phantasm Spiral Deck #730256 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Yubel Special Summon chain into Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare and The Supremacy Sun / Dark Creator / Raviel boss monsters (text-derived, Inferred); Link and Fusion beatsticks such as Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon and Underworld Goddess of the Closed World (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Three-Eyed Ghost, Full Moon Mirror, Ebon Sun and Nightmare Throne into a Yubel or Sacred Beast line, backed by Ash Blossom and Maxx C (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence, Droll & Lock Bird and Nibiru as hand traps, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws (Inferred)
• Recovery: Yubel and Spirit of Yubel recursion from GY and banish zones via Mature Chronicle and Full Moon Mirror (Inferred)
• After siding: None: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: 24 searcher-text cards give a high probability (about 0.93 in a 5-card hand) of at least one search, and the three Yubel and Sacred Beast cores plus several independent hand traps give redundant routes past common interruption. Interaction is layered, with 8 hand traps, 6 negation cards and 17 removal-text cards, and the boss monsters (Raviel, The Supremacy Sun, Perfectron, Underworld Goddess) give real closing power. The floor and median are weak in the evidence: there are no recorded boards, so the combo output and the going-second read are text-only Inferred estimates. The score is capped low because the list is Illegal (Varudras is Forbidden and run once) and the deck has no Side Deck. Archetype popularity earned no points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Combo secondary (one primary + one secondary, Step 5 hybrid rule). Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal list: normal formula 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 54, plus context modifiers (-12) = 42, then capped to 30 under the Illegal rule. Meta Power provisional (null). The score is theoretical/structural only.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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

• Dense searcher text (24 cards) makes at least one search in the opening hand very likely
• Layered interaction: 8 hand traps, 6 negation-text cards and 17 removal-text cards
• High-ATK closers across Main and Extra Decks (Raviel 4000, Perfectron 5000 link)
• Redundant hand-trap lines (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru) give real going-second disruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: Varudras is Forbidden and run once
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan and no adaptability for best-of-3
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Engine spans five sub-archetypes with 0% exact-name purity, raising conflict and brick risk
• High pilot complexity with multi-step Yubel and Fusion lines

Critical choke points

• Yubel - Terror Incarnate (1 copy) is the single gate for the Yubel line
• Varudras is illegal in the Extra Deck and leaves a slot the list cannot legally fill

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Varudras is Forbidden with 0 legal copies, and the deck runs 1 copy; Deck size 60 main and 15 extra are within the OCG size rules (40–60 main, 0–15 extra); Side deck count is 0; Searcher-text count 24, hand-trap count 8, negation count 6, removal-text count 17; Probability values from the evidence pack (0.2333 per 3-copy card; 0.4746 archetype core; 0.931 searcher group; 0.5933 hand-trap group)
• Inferred: Engine accessibility and brick estimates (D1, D2); Going-first and going-second plans and hand-trap value (D8, D14); Interruption and recovery routes (D5, D6)
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability (no tournament link, no win-rate telemetry)
• 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 and brick/starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck supplied (Side Deck size 0) deck title is null in the export
