Rescue-ACE Deck #755584 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 47/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck closers (Chaos Angel, Psychic End Punisher, Juraishin, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS, K9-X Werewolf, Super Starslayer TY-PHON) reached through Vanquish Soul, K9, Mulcharmy or Unchained board-building; Attrition through Mulcharmy draw triggers, Unchained recursion and Kamura/Shara disruption
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Vanquish Soul or Mulcharmy starter with a searcher (Dr. Mad Love, Razen, Stake your Soul!) to reach a board, then convert through a Synchro or Xyz summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C or Red Reboot to answer the first play, then board-break with Dogoran, Kamura or Jacks
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY via Mulcharmy draws, Unchained Shara and Vanquish Soul return-to-hand summons
• After siding: None: the deck registers zero side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system of four loosely connected engines (Vanquish Soul, K9, Mulcharmy, Unchained) plus a toolbox layer, not as an average of its card scores. Its opening access is reasonable: about 81% to see at least one searcher-text card in a going-first hand and about 72% to see at least one of the 12 archetype-core cards, but the engines do not share enablers, so a hand often holds a starter for the wrong plan. Its best feature is the Extra Deck: several 3000+ ATK closers plus multi-attack Xyz give it real closing power and board-breaking once a line is live. Its defensive layer (four hand traps, Harpie's Feather Duster, Crackle Blitzclique and several Xyz/Synchro removal effects) is broad, but two floodgates (Anti-Spell Fragrance and There Can Be Only One) hurt its own Spell and multi-Fiend lines, and the deck runs no side deck at all. Popularity earned nothing here: the archetype label Rescue-ACE is only 5.7% exact-name purity, the list runs 5 of 24 archetype-standard core cards (20.8%), and the recorded combo evidence is empty, so the combo dimensions rest on text inference only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 57, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-3); banlist exposure (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.72 · 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

• Four hand traps (2x Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Red Reboot) give going-second protection
• Redundant 3-copy starters across Vanquish Soul, Mulcharmy, Kamura, Shara and Dogoran
• Extra Deck closers at 3000+ ATK with multi-attack and board-breaking options
• Layered removal and destruction effects across the Main and Extra Decks

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Anti-Spell Fragrance and There Can Be Only One hurt the deck's own engines
• Archetype label Rescue-ACE does not match the list: 5.7% exact-name purity and 4 Rescue-ACE cards, with the Rescue-ACE support package absent
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• Vanquish Soul summons require a second Vanquish Soul revealed from hand; with only 18 VS cards, that resource is thin
• Synchro enablers are thin: Fydraulis Harmonia x3, Ash Blossom x2 and Malong x1 are the only Tuners

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; all 13 restricted cards within legal_copies; Copy histogram 19 singles, 3 doubles, 10 triples; 32 distinct main cards; Archetype purity 5.7% exact name; core present 5 of 24 (20.8%); Extra Deck ATK values and copy counts from evidence
• Inferred: Opening-hand probabilities for searcher, core and hand-trap groups (hypergeometric); Going-first and going-second strength estimates; Interaction quality and board-breaking from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13)
• 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, brick and starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null, so identity rests on the archetype label and card list
