Crystron Deck #748331 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Crystron Synchro/Xyz/Link boards and Train-archetype Xyz beaters (Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket, Flying Launcher, Gustav Max) converting board advantage into 3000+ ATK pressure; Gustav Max direct damage and Cyber Dragon Infinity / Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS as off-archetype Extra Deck closers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Crystron Inclusion, Scrap Recycler or Night Train Blue Traveler to search or recycle a Crystron/Train piece, use Crystron Sulfador or Sulfefnir to set up a Synchro or Xyz, then convert into a 3000+ ATK Xyz
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment or Crystron Tristaros to interrupt the opponent's first board, then follow with Crystron Sulfador/Sulfefnir and a Crystron Synchro or Train Xyz
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Crystron Sulfefnir, Crystron Sulfador and Night Train Blue Traveler, then rebuild the Extra Deck with Crystron Eleskeletus or the Train Xyz line
• After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck is supplied, so no post-side plan is recorded

Why it scores here

The deck's Crystron core (25 Main Deck copies of archetype cards, about 96% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand) gives it a reliable first engine, and the Train Xyz line adds a credible late-game finisher. Its interaction package (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment, Crystron Tristaros) is real but partly unusable as built because of copy-limit violations. Only 11 of 70 archetype-related copies are exact Crystron names, and roughly 16 Main Deck cards are generic or off-plan, so the deck spreads across Crystron, Train, Mulcharmy, Cyber Dragon, Kaiju, Egyptian God, Greed and Forbidden lines, which lowers its consistency and brick resilience. The score comes from engine access, interaction and Extra Deck structure assessed on the system, not from averaging card scores or from Crystron's popularity in usage statistics. Because the list is Illegal (five Forbidden cards and two over-limit cards), the normal Final Contextual formula is capped and the result is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Control secondary (structural only; Illegal cap applied). Structural ≈ 47.6, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-11); Off-archetype dilution (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: uncapped 0.80*Structural(47.6) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) ≈ 46; capped to 35 for structural-only evaluation (Meta provisional, null)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Reliable Crystron core access (about 96% to have an archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand)
• Strong Extra Deck closers (Gustav Rocket 5000 ATK, Liebe 4000 ATK, Gustav Max direct damage)
• Layered interaction in the Main Deck (Ash Blossom, Droll, Solemn, Crystron Tristaros, Forbidden Droplet)
• Compact Extra Deck with single-copy coverage of Crystron, Train and Cyber Dragon lines

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: five Forbidden cards and over-limit copies of Ash Blossom and Droll
• Low archetype purity (15.7% exact-name) with 9 off-plan Main Deck cards
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Repeated 3-copy staples with low single-card access (about 0.25 per 5-card hand)

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom and Droll copies beyond the legal limit must be removed, which would reduce hand-trap access
• Crystron Sulfador and Sulfefnir are the only revival and recursion pieces for the Crystron line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: five Forbidden cards and over-limit copies of Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird; Main 55 and Extra 15 counts are within the OCG size rules; Exact-name purity is 15.7% (11 of 70 archetype-related copies)
• Inferred: Opening-hand access estimates (0.959 archetype core; 0.25 per 3-copy staple; 0.45 hand-trap group going second); Structural dimension scores and the Midrange weight profile; Brick risk from off-plan cards and the lack of a side deck
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13, no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No side deck: post-side adaptability cannot be measured No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
