Deck — Deck Power Evaluation
Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)
| Overall score | Value |
|---|---|
| Structural Deck Power | 47 |
| Going First | 45 |
| Going Second | 42 |
| Meta Power | provisional |
| Tournament Reliability | 40 |
- Primary strategy: Toolbox
- Secondary strategies: Midrange, Extra-Deck Xyz/Link beatdown
- Format: ocg
Legality
Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).
Identity & game plan
- Win condition: Extra-Deck Xyz/Link beatdown (Gustav Max, Super Dora, Juggernaut Liebe, Earth Slicer) after Train and Machine searches; Board interaction (Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Forbidden Crown, Forbidden Droplet) followed by Extra-Deck pressure
- Turn 1 (going first): Search a Train/Gear starter with Exceptional Schedule or Night Train, go to a Level 10 Machine Xyz or Link, and attack through a single interaction piece
- Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap-light and interaction-light: rely on Jizukiru / Heavy Armored Knight Babeldecker board presence and Lightning Storm to clear backrow, then extend with Extra Deck monsters
- Recovery: Recover from GY via Night Train Blue Traveler, Gizmek Taniguku, and Ancient Gear Box searches, then rebuild through Pot of Sloth draws
- After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan exists in the export
Why it scores here
This list is Illegal in OCG: it runs Called by the Grave and Varudras (both Forbidden) and two copies of Droll & Lock Bird against a limit of one, so it is scored as a theoretical, structural-only read and capped low. Its consistency signal is moderate: the searcher-text group (16 copies) gives about an 83% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, but the archetype core is split across several sub-archetypes (Train, Crystron, Infinitrack, Forbidden) with 0% exact-name purity, so the engine is loose rather than cohesive. The end-board interaction density is the deck's strongest structural feature (Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Forbidden Crown, Forbidden Droplet, Regulus, Jizukiru), and its Extra Deck supplies high-ATK closers (Gustav Max, Super Dora, Juggernaut Liebe, Earth Slicer). No combo boards are recorded, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and the score does not rest on any card-level averaging. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm only that the core is real, not that the list is strong, and no side deck is present.
Dimension scores
| # | Dimension | Score | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| D1 | Engine Accessibility & Consistency | 55 | P(>=1 searcher in 5-card hand) ~0.83 across 16 searcher-text copies; archetype core P ~0.72; starter chain depends on Train/Gear searches (Inferred) |
| D2 | Opening-Hand Quality & Brick Management | 45 | Many singleton non-engine slots (Subspace Battle, Triple Tactics Thrust, Forbidden Droplet) and Machine-heavy spells create dead-hand risk; no side deck to tune (Inferred) |
| D3 | Combo Conversion & Ceiling | 45 | No combo boards recorded; ceiling read from card text only (Gustav Max, Super Dora, Liebe, Earth Slicer) (Inferred) |
| D4 | Combo Floor & Median Output | 35 | No recorded boards, so median output cannot be measured; kept low until combo data exists (Provisional) |
| D5 | Interruption Resilience & Route Redundancy | 50 | Recursion from GY via Night Train, Gizmek and Ancient Gear Box offers some second-line redundancy (Inferred) |
| D6 | Resource Economy, Recovery & Grind | 55 | Pot of Sloth, Scrap Recycler and Ancient Gear Box provide draw and search, but there is no measured resource signature (Inferred) |
| D7 | End-Board & Interaction Quality | 62 | Dense, multi-type interaction (negation, destruction, backrow removal) on both turns from card text; not auto-credited for board breaking (Inferred semantic) |
| D8 | Going-Second & Board-Breaking Power | 55 | Going-second split unavailable; Jizukiru and Lightning Storm give some board-breaking, but Droll/Called were the main disruptors and are illegal (Inferred) |
| D9 | Offensive Pressure & Closing Power | 62 | Multiple 3000+ ATK Extra Deck threats (Liebe 4000, Super Dora 3200, Earth Slicer 3100, Gustav Max 3000) (Verified stat from card data) |
| D10 | Main Deck Efficiency & Flexibility | 40 | 56 Main Deck cards with 31 distinct names and a wide sub-archetype spread give low compactness and weak coherence (Verified composition, Inferred judgment) |
| D11 | Extra Deck Efficiency & Coverage | 50 | Full 15-card Extra Deck with 8 Xyz and 7 Link; broad coverage but several off-plan Extra cards (Verified composition, Inferred judgment) |
| D12 | Side Deck Adaptability | 5 | Zero Side Deck cards, so no best-of-3 adaptability (Verified) |
| D13 | Matchup Coverage & Format Fit | 35 | No dated meta or tournament link; format fit is unknown and illegality lowers it further (Provisional) |
| D14 | Pilotability & Error Tolerance | 35 | Chained multi-step Xyz/Link and Train effects with many decision points raise error risk (Inferred) |
How the score was computed
Strategy profile: 100% Toolbox primary. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (illegal) (-10); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 45.6, then context modifiers -12 (illegal banlist exposure, no side deck) = 33.6, rounded to 34; illegal cap applied, theoretical only
Probability & combo summary
- Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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 and interaction text across the main deck
- High-ATK Extra Deck closers with several Level 10 and 11 Xyz options
- Multiple recursion routes from the GY for resilience
Weaknesses
- Illegal list: two Forbidden cards and one over-limit Limited card
- Loose sub-archetype mix with 0% exact-name purity
- No side deck and no recorded combo boards
Critical choke points
- Starting most lines depends on one of the 16 searcher-text cards reaching the hand
- Extra Deck Xyz/Link summons need Level 10 or Machine material that the main deck only partly supplies
Recommended changes
| Priority | Remove | Add | Reason |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Called by the Grave and Varudras, the Final Bringer of the End Times | Legal, on-theme Extra Deck or main-deck replacements (for example, a Train or Gear searcher) | Both are Forbidden in OCG; the list cannot be played as built |
| 2 | One copy of Droll & Lock Bird | A legal floodgate or interaction card | Droll is Limited to 1 copy and the list runs 2 |
| 3 | One or two Subspace Battle or Triple Tactics Thrust slots | A Side Deck of 5 to 15 cards | A side deck is missing entirely, which limits post-side adaptability |
Evidence & confidence
- Verified: Illegal status: Forbidden Called by the Grave and Varudras; Limited Droll & Lock Bird run 2 copies; Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 (size rules pass; side is empty); Searcher-text group 16 copies, P>=1 in 5-card hand 0.8277; Archetype core 12 copies, P>=1 in 5-card hand 0.7157; Extra Deck ATK values (Liebe 4000, Super Dora 3200, Earth Slicer 3100, Gustav Max 3000)
- Observed: No recorded combo boards (0 combos); tournament context absent
- Inferred: Toolbox primary with Midrange secondary classification; Engine consistency and brick estimates from hypergeometric odds and card text; Interaction density and board-breaking reads from card text
- Provisional: Meta Power (null); Format fit (D13); Going-first and going-second power levels
- 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 — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no Side Deck, so post-side plan cannot be evaluated
