Frog Deck #753659 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck beatdown from Synchro/Fusion monsters (Stardust Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, Elemental HERO Absolute Zero) after Monarch and HERO board-making; Frog recursion (Dupe Frog, Treeborn Frog, Swap Frog) feeding Frog Fusion/Synchro lines
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Swap Frog or Elemental HERO starter, search a second starter, and Synchro or Fusion into a board-breaker; with no combos recorded this is structural only
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Dimensional Prison, Mirror Force, D.D. Crow and Battle Fader to answer the opponent's first board, then Tribute Summon Caius or Raiza and extend
• Recovery: Recover monsters through Dupe Frog and Treeborn Frog in the GY, and Elemental HERO Stratos or Evil HERO Infernal Prodigy for card advantage
• After siding: Not evaluable: side deck is empty (0 of up to 15 slots), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck was scored as a connected system, not as an average of its card scores. It runs three Frog-engine copies of Swap Frog, which gives roughly a 24% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, so its engine access is thin and its consistency is modest (Inferred). Its interaction is the strongest part: Mirror Force, Dimensional Prison, Torrential Tribute, D.D. Crow, Battle Fader and Heavy Storm give a dense, layered answer suite (Inferred semantic read from card text). Its Extra Deck coverage is reasonable, with Stardust Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, Absolute Zero and Thought Ruler Archfiend providing closing power. However, the deck mixes at least seven sub-archetypes with only 11 exact-name Frog copies, has no combos on record, and has an empty side deck. Popularity and archetype naming earned no points; the legality failure caps the score at a theoretical level.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox secondary (disclosed as a rough blend of the two profiles). Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12); side_deck_empty (0). Final formula: Illegal deck, theoretical only: 0.80*Structural(44) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + banlist modifier (-12) = 30.2, rounded to 30; Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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, layered interaction: Mirror Force, Dimensional Prison, Torrential Tribute, Heavy Storm, Dust Tornado and Brain Control
• Strong Extra Deck closers across Synchro and Fusion (Stardust Dragon, Black Rose Dragon, Absolute Zero)
• Hand-trap redundancy with D.D. Crow, Battle Fader and Dupe Frog

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three Forbidden cards and Substitoad over the copy limit
• Incoherent archetype base: 15.3% exact Frog purity across 7+ sub-archetypes
• No combo, guide or tournament evidence; the power read is structural only
• Empty side deck, so no adaptation for best-of-3

Critical choke points

• Swap Frog x3 is the only Frog starter with usage support; its absence leaves the Frog engine dark
• Mandatory Absolute Zero x3 is the only Fusion route with a clear board-breaking payoff

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Substitoad x3, Dandylion x1 and Trap Dustshoot x1 are Forbidden in the OCG list; Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 satisfy OCG size rules; Limited cards Heavy Storm, One for One and Reinforcement of the Army are run at 1 copy, which is legal; Exact-name Frog purity is 15.3% (11 of 72 archetype copies)
• Inferred: P(>=1 Swap Frog in 5) = 0.24 and the engine access read; Brick risk from the 27 Level 0 spells/traps; Interaction density from removal and hand-trap text; Going-first and going-second splits are structural estimates only
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit and matchup coverage (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Side deck is empty: no post-side evidence Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; identified only by archetype and deck id
