Fabled Deck #754900 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Board pressure from Link Monsters in the Extra Deck, chiefly Evil★Twin's Trouble Sunny (ATK 3300) and Unchained Abomination (ATK 3000) (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards); Fiendsmith Fusion and Link Monsters (Fiendsmith's Lacrima, Fiendsmith's Sequence, Fiendsmith's Requiem) (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Live☆Twin / Ki-sikil / Lil-la starter with Secret Password or Sunny's Snitch searches, then link into Evil★Twin monsters (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Infinite Impermanence and Maxx "C" as hand traps to break the opponent's first summon, then convert through the Link Monsters (Inferred from card text)
• Recovery: Searchers (Secret Password, Fiendsmith Engraver, Fiendsmith's Tract, Spright Blue) and graveyard revival effects (Ghost Belle, Unchained Soul Lord of Yama) (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

This OCG Fabled list is capped low because it is illegal: it runs two Forbidden cards (Knightmare Gryphon and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar) and has 16 Extra Deck cards against a maximum of 15. Its structural read is 49, which is theoretical only. The main strengths are interaction density (16 negation-text cards, 10 hand-trap or removal cards) and a going-second plan (about 85% chance of at least one hand trap in six cards), which is what earns the points on D7 and D8. The deck records no combos, no guides and no tournament data, so consistency and conversion are Inferred from card text and hypergeometric draw odds, not observed. The score was not built by averaging card scores, and the popularity of the Fabled and Live☆Twin archetypes earned no points. The 40-card main deck is compact with 22 distinct cards, but the Live☆Twin starter (3 copies, about 34% to appear in an opening hand of 5) is a thin engine base.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap per rubric Step 2: theoretical 0.80*49 + 0.20*45 = 48, then -12 banlist modifier gives 36, capped to 30. Meta provisional (null). Structural-only reading.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Layered interaction: 16 negation-text cards and 10 removal-text cards, with 2-of and 3-of hand traps
• Strong going-second hand-trap density (about 85% for at least one in six cards)
• Compact 40-card main deck with 22 distinct cards and multiple searchers

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden cards and an Extra Deck of 16 against a limit of 15
• Low starter access: the 3-copy Live☆Twin core appears in about 34% of going-first hands
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
• Many single-copy and off-archetype cards (55 off-archetype copies) weaken engine coherence

Critical choke points

• The Live☆Twin starter (3 copies) is the main engine entry point and is missing from most opening hands
• The two Forbidden Extra Deck cards cannot be played in OCG, so the Extra Deck must be rebuilt before any line works

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Knightmare Gryphon and D/D/D Wave High King Caesar are Forbidden OCG cards; Extra Deck count is 16 against a limit of 15; Side deck is empty (0 cards); Archetype spread: Live☆Twin 9, Fiendsmith 7, Evil★Twin 4, Spright 4, Ki-sikil 3, Lil-la 3, Unchained 2; Usage stats: 3 of 8 core cards present (37.5%)
• Inferred: Primary strategy is Combo, with Midrange and Toolbox secondaries, from card text and composition; Starter access and brick rates from hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction density from the negation and removal text counts; Going-second hand-trap coverage; Win conditions from Link and Fiendsmith card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or 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 absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown No Side Deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed No guides attached to the archetype Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
