Assault Mode Deck #753022 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±5 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon large Extra Deck boss monsters (Stardust, Junk and Synchron lines) through the Junk and Synchron tuner engine; Stardust Dragon and Junk Speeder board pressure, with Assault Mode support if that archetype is present
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Synchron or Junk tuner, search a second tuner or Junk Synchron with Stardust Synchron, Junk Signal or Synchro Fellowship, then Synchro Summon a boss; keep Ash Blossom and Droll & Lock Bird up as hand traps
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre and Infinite Impermanence to disrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Junk Meister or Synchro Fellowship recursion
• Recovery: Recover tuners from the GY through Junk Meister, Jet Synchron, Stardust Synchron and Crossroad Sonic Chick, then re-Synchro through Synchro Fellowship
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected Synchro system, not as an average of its cards. Its opening access is reasonable: the archetype core group has about a 92% chance of at least one card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred, hypergeometric), and the Synchron and Junk tuner package gives it several ways to start. Interaction is dense, with about 11 hand traps and 19 negation-text cards, so the end board has layers. The score is held down by an illegal list: an Extra Deck of 18 exceeds the OCG limit of 15, Ash Blossom is run at 3 copies against a limit of 2, and three Forbidden cards are included. Combo evidence is absent, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference, and the archetype is not fully present (no exact-name Assault Mode copies), which weakens the closing plan. Popularity and usage statistics were not used to earn points; the score is capped as theoretical/structural-only because of the illegal list.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 35, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(44) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 30, then capped to 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power is provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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 hand-trap and negation coverage across both turns
• High access to the tuner engine (about 92% for at least one core card in hand of 5)
• Multiple recursion routes for Synchron tuners in the GY

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Extra Deck of 18 (limit 15), Ash Blossom at 3 copies (limit 2), and three Forbidden cards
• No side deck, so no adaptability
• Weak archetype cohesion: zero exact-name Assault Mode cards; the Assault Mode label is not supported by the card pool
• 19 tech cards plus several situational removal cards dilute consistency

Critical choke points

• Synchro Fellowship and Junk Synchron as the only Synchro-enabling route to the bosses
• Stardust Synchron and Junk Synchron as the only tuners in the opening hand if the Synchron package is missed

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Extra Deck 18 > 15 (OCG limit); Forbidden: Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent, Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon; Semi-Limited: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 2 legal copies; Main Deck size 52 is within 40–60; No side deck (Side Deck size 0)
• Inferred: Opening-hand access to the core group ≈ 0.92; Hand-trap and negation density gives layered interaction; Tuner recursion gives partial resilience; Going-first and going-second splits estimated from card text only
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
