Chemicritter Deck #736893 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Thunder monsters from the Blitzclique cluster and Extra Deck beaters (Whisker Blitzclique 3000 ATK, Thunder King the Lightningstrike Kaiju 3300 ATK, Golden Cloud Beast - Malong) reached through hand-based Special Summons and card destruction; Mulcharmy draw engine that converts an empty board into card advantage over time
• Turn 1 (going first): Reveal a Blitzclique searcher or Surge/Crackle/Grain Blitzclique from hand to destroy a face-up card, then Special Summon a Thunder monster from hand, backed by Solemn Judgment or Solemn Warning if the opponent interrupts
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Ultimate Slayer, Ash-style negations and Solemn effects to answer the opponent's first summon, then rebuild with Blitzclique Alternator and Breakaway
• Recovery: Recycle Thunder monsters from the GY with Blitzclique - Steppleader and Breakaway, and Extra Deck summons via Enigmaster Packbit and Vallon
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the 15 empty side slots are the main structural gap

Why it scores here

This list would open a Blitzclique-based plan often enough: the searchers (19 searcher-text cards in the main deck) make a functional opening hand likely, with an estimated 89% chance of at least one searcher in five cards, though any single three-copy engine card appears only about 25% of the time in a going-first hand. Consistency is held back by 29 non-monster cards at level 0 and 8 pieces of Extra Deck material that must line up, and there are no recorded boards to show what the deck usually produces, so its floor and median output are scored from card text only. Interaction is the strongest part of the system: multiple negations, Solemn effects, and destruction-on-activation monsters give it a real end-board answer. The deck is tagged Chemicritter but runs no Chemicritter cards, its score is not lifted by popularity or any meta share, and it was not built by averaging card scores. The list is illegal in OCG (three Albion, which is Forbidden, and three Fallen & The Virtuous against a limit of two), which caps the final score and leaves this as a structural read only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange (primary) with Toolbox (secondary), Midrange weights applied. Structural ≈ 42.6, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-11). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 41.1, then Illegal cap applied via modifier to 30

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 interaction: Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Iron Thunder, Ghost Ogre and Return Stroke cover several answer types
• Thunder recursion (Steppleader, Breakaway) gives some recovery after a single removal
• Searcher density (19 searcher-text cards) makes a playable opening hand likely

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three Forbidden Albion and three Fallen & The Virtuous against a limit of two
• No side deck, so no adaptation to matchups
• Extra Deck is spread across 9 distinct Extra cards with no archetype core, making the engine hard to line up
• Label mismatch: tagged Chemicritter with zero Chemicritter cards

Critical choke points

• Albion the Branded Dragon is the Fusion starter for the Branded line but cannot be legally run
• Blitzclique searches depend on a few Thunder monsters, so losing them early stops recursion

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Albion the Branded Dragon (Forbidden, three copies) and The Fallen & The Virtuous (Semi-Limited, three copies against a limit of two); Main deck 55 cards, Extra 15, side 0, within OCG size limits; Card text for negations, searchers and recursion as listed in the card excerpts
• Inferred: Opening-hand estimates from the hypergeometric draw table; Interaction quality and layering from negation text; Consistency and brick risk from level-0 spell and trap density
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no dated meta sample is supplied; Floor and median output: no recorded boards to measure them
• Data gaps: No recorded combos, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta share and pilot record are absent No win-rate or matchup telemetry in YGOVN for this deck Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck is tagged Chemicritter but contains no Chemicritter cards, so archetype usage statistics do not apply No side deck is registered, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
