Spright Deck #736129 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 71/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Assemble a multi-layered board of Level 2 synergists (Spright core + Nimble/Yummy engines) with XYZ and Synchro support, layering interaction and negation through Spright monsters and hand traps.; Go-second board-break via Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw engine, hand traps, and removal spells (Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster); convert disruption into pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Establish Spright XYZ (Gigantic Spright or Toadally Awesome via Frog engine) + Synchro Tuner backup (Cupsy/Cooky/Lollipo Way) with floating Level 2 searchers, layered negation from Carrot/Red, and resource recycling via Yummy Spells.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, PSY-Gamma, Droll & Lock Bird) and going-second removal (Lightning Storm T1) to break opponent's board; pivot into Mulcharmy Fuwalos discard to trigger draw advantage and continue combo lines.
• Recovery: Recursion via Yummy monsters in GY (Lollipo, Cooky, Cupsy special summon lines); Synchro Tuner monsters act as extenders; Spright Jet/Blue searchers float and refresh resources; Nimble recursion via Angler sendings.
• After siding: No side deck present; structural T1 plan unchanged post-side. Deck lacks dedicated anti-meta flex slots; vulnerability to specific meta calls (e.g., Maxx C, I:P Masquerena, S:P Little Knight missing).

Why it scores here

This Spright-Yummy hybrid opens Spright XYZ + Synchro Tuner boards with 91.5% consistency (archetype-core probability), leveraging 17 hand traps and recursive Yummy engines for recovery. The deck reliably converts Level 2 starters into multi-negate boards (Spright Carrot/Red negation, XYZ material loops), but lacks critical meta cards (Maxx C, I:P Masquerena, Spright Sprind) that typical lists run, reducing board ceiling and going-second board-break speed. Strong fundamentals in engine cohesion and resource management, but the 56-card main (above 40-card minimum) and missing core extra cards introduce inconsistency spikes and reduce flexibility; no side deck and one-dimensional post-side strategy cap tournament reliability. The deck does not average its cards—it scores on system-level consistency, combo floor reliability under disruption, and resource economy across realistic disruption patterns.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 69, Going First ≈ 72, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 66. Modifiers: Missing core Extra-Deck cards (-3); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ 0.78 · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.09 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Extremely consistent archetype-core opener (91.5% P of at least one Spright starter in hand)
• 17 hand traps provide robust going-second interaction and going-first setup disruption coverage
• Dual Synchro Tuner + XYZ paths with independent searchers allow continuation after single disruption
• Yummy recursion engine enables grind sustainability and resource regeneration across multiple turns
• Spright Carrot/Red reactive negation extends interaction on opponent's turn
• Balanced searcher + extender density supports modular board construction

Weaknesses

• 56-card main deck (16 cards above 40-min) inflates brick density and dilutes consistency spikes
• Missing Maxx C (100% meta-core inclusion) severely limits going-second draw engine and tempo recovery
• Absent I:P Masquerena, Spright Sprind, S:P Little Knight, Gigantic Spright reduce board ceiling and meta flexibility
• No side deck eliminates best-of-3 adaptation; post-side strategy identical to pre-side
• PSY-Frame Delta/Gamma package creates tight lock-in (2 copies Delta + 1 Gamma + 1 Driver) with marginal utility vs core engine
• Combo lines lack out-of-archetype tutors; heavy reliance on Spright searchers creates single choke-point if Sprind unavailable

Critical choke points

• Mulcharmy Fuwalos is sole discard outlet T1 for setup; if forced to activate for Nimble Beaver play, resource float diminishes
• Spright Jet is 1-of core searcher; absence in opening hand breaks mid-game resource loops
• No PSY-Frame Driver recursion if drawn early; acts as dead card outside hand-trap activation setup
• Yummy monster availability in GY gates entire recovery axis; aggressive opponent GY mills reduce post-disruption pivot

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal under OCG ruleset (56 main, 15 extra, 0 side; all cards within copy limits); Archetype identified as Spright (core cards: Spright Blue, Jet, Carrot, Red; purity 12.7%); Card text excerpts confirm hand-trap text (Ash, Belle, Veiler, PSY-Gamma, Droll); negation text (Infinite Impermanence, Carrot, Red); searcher text (Spright Blue/Jet, Yummy suite); Usage statistics show 61% core-card presence (11/18 typical Spright includes); Maxx C, I:P Masquerena, Sprind, S:P Little Knight, Gigantic Spright missing
• Observed: Hand-trap density 17/56 main (30%) aligns with typical Spright lists (28–35%); Yummy sub-engine (14 copies across Marshmao, Lollipo, Cooky, Cupsy, Synchro Tuners) is integral to recursion
• Inferred: Archetype-core consistency P(≥1 starter) = 91.5% via hypergeometric (archetype core 21 copies, hand 5 cards); Combo floor ~62–65 (one XYZ + one Synchro + searcher float) under typical disruption; ceiling ~74–76 with full setup (no disruption); Going-first board: typically Spright XYZ (1–2 negates) + Synchro Tuner (1 extender/negate float) + floating hand resources; Going-second strength ~68: 9 hand-trap slots + Lightning Storm + Harpie Duster; Maxx C absence caps tempo recovery; Resource economy: +1 per Spright searcher activation; +1 per Yummy GY recursion; grind durability 5–7 turns sustainable; Tournament reliability ~66: opening consistency high (91.5%), but 56-card main + no side deck + missing meta core reduce match resilience
• Provisional: Meta Power = null (no dated metagame sample supplied); archetype meta-share ~10–15% OCG inferred from usage prevalence; Matchup coverage vs. current OCG meta unknown without tournament link; list deviates from meta consensus (missing 7 core cards)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; board PowerIndex estimates are text-inference only (no parsed real-game data) No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent (cannot compute Meta Power reliably) No dated metagame sample; format-fit assessment is Provisional (archetype typical strength, not this list vs. meta) No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second brick rates, matchup spreads); all consistency/reliability claims are Inferred from hypergeometric + card text
