Rescue-ACE Deck #752608 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 48 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rescue-ACE monsters (Turbulence 3000, Preventer 2800, Fire Engine 2500, Fire Attacker 2200) and the Rescue-ACE Arbitrator link board, plus Perfectron Hydradrive Dragon (5000 ATK, Limited) as a board-clearing closer.; Fiendsmith's Lacrima and Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon as off-archetype payoffs, with Super Starslayer TY-PHON as an Extra Deck finisher.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a searcher (Air Lifter, Snake-Eyes Poplar, Rescue-ACE Impulse, Bonfire, Reinforcement of the Army) into ALERT!/RESCUE! and a Rescue-ACE field, then Link Summon Arbitrator to set up a 3000 ATK board.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Dominus Impulse) and CONTAIN!/EXTINGUISH! to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild with RESCUE!/ALERT! and the Rescue-ACE monsters.
• Recovery: Banish Rescue-ACE cards from the GY to Special Summon Turbulence or Preventer, and use ALERT!/RESCUE! to recover monsters from the GY.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the deck is evaluated as a Main-Deck-only list.

Why it scores here

The Rescue-ACE core is reliably accessible: the archetype core group gives P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.95 and searcher text about 0.92, so the deck usually opens a live engine by turn 1-2 (Inferred). Its closing power is real, with several 2200-3000 ATK Rescue-ACE monsters and a 5000 ATK Perfectron as a closer. Interaction is dense (4 hand traps, 6 negation-text cards, 13 removal-text cards), and recursion through the GY and banish costs gives some grind. The score is held down by an illegal list (three Forbidden cards), 44 of 48 Main Deck copies outside the exact Rescue-ACE name (29% exact-name purity across Fiendsmith, Snake-Eye, Diabellstar, Azamina and others), no Side Deck, and no combo evidence. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into this result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (no separate blend applied; Midrange weights used as the structural basis). Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal deck: no normal Final Contextual score. Unmodified formula 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 56.4, less banlist-exposure modifier -12 = 44.4, then capped at 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power is null (provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense Rescue-ACE searcher package (18 searchers) gives high opening-hand access to the engine (Inferred)
• Strong board stats across Rescue-ACE monsters and Perfectron closer (Verified stats)
• Four hand traps plus negation/removal text provide layered interaction (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden cards (Verified)
• Low archetype purity (29%): four or more sub-engines compete for the same hand slots (Inferred)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation (Verified)
• No combo or win-rate evidence; ceiling and median are unmeasured (Verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Rescue-ACE Hydrant is needed to unlock several cards' extra effects (Inferred from text)
• Arbitrator link summon depends on having two FIRE monsters on field (Verified text)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 3 Forbidden cards in main and extra; all other restricted cards within legal copy counts; Main 48 (within 40-60), Extra 14 (within 0-15), Side 0 (within 0-15); Usage stats and copy histogram; Card stats and card text excerpts
• Inferred: Engine accessibility via hypergeometric odds; Brick and conflict rates from composition; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Interaction density and resilience from role tags
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup coverage (D13)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup, or brick rate Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null in source
