Firewall Deck #730381 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Firewall — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 22/100 (±5 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link summon boss monsters (Firewall Dragon variants, Allied Code Talker @Ignister) and overwhelm; Board control via negates and floodgates
• Turn 1 (going first): Establish @Ignister/Code Talker links with interruption and protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Use board breakers (Dark Ruler No More, Lightning Storm) and hand traps to clear and punish
• Recovery: Recursion via GY effects (A.I.dle Reborn, Dotscaper, Cyberse Wicckid)
• After siding: No side deck (0 cards) – no post-side adaptation

Why it scores here

This deck is illegal in the OCG format due to four Forbidden cards (Heavy Storm, Red Reboot, Maxx "C", Link Decoder) and an Extra Deck of 17 cards exceeding the 15-card limit. As a connected system, the @Ignister/Firewall combo engine shows reasonable consistency (P(core starter)≈0.80 Inferred) and can produce high-ceiling boards with Firewall Dragon Singularity and Allied Code Talker @Ignister, but the evaluation is theoretical/structural-only and the Final Contextual Deck Power is capped low per the illegality guardrail. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points; the score reflects the illegal status and not an average of individual card scores. The missing side deck and deviation from core archetype cards further reduce practical reliability.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: primary only. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 65, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 20. Modifiers: Illegality penalty (-12). Final formula: Illegal deck: normal formula not applied; Final Contextual Deck Power capped low (theoretical/structural-only) per legality guardrail

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.8 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.2 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Broad Cyberse toolbox with many recursion/revive options (Dotscaper, A.I.dle Reborn)
• Strong interaction suite (negates, hand traps, board breakers) for a combo deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal: 4 Forbidden cards (Heavy Storm, Red Reboot, Maxx "C", Link Decoder) and Extra Deck over limit
• No side deck (0 cards) – zero post-side adaptability
• Missing many core archetype cards (Allied Code Talker @Ignister, Accesscode Talker, Terraforming)

Critical choke points

• Reliance on forbidden cards that must be removed before deck is playable
• Extra Deck size violation prevents legal tournament use

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal with forbidden cards; Card text excerpts for all listed cards; Banlist statuses (Forbidden/Limited) from OCG field; Extra deck count 17 > 15; Side deck count 0
• Observed: No parsed combo boards (combo data total combos=0)
• Inferred: P(core starter)≈0.80 from hypergeometric on 14 copies; Brick proxy 0.2006 from missing core; Interaction density from negation_text count 14; Going-second power from board-breaker spells
• Provisional: Meta Power null – no dated metagame sample; Matchup coverage D13 provisional
• 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, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
