ABC Deck #755651 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 31/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Union-monster board pressure converted through Extra Deck boss monsters such as ABC-Dragon Buster, XYZ-Hyper Dragon Cannon and Psychic End Punisher (structural read, no recorded boards).; Synchro and Xyz beatdown through Juraishin, Ancient Fairy Dragon and Cyber Dragon Infinity when Union monsters are not live.
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Union Hangar or Union Activation, equip Union monsters through the Union Hangar or X-Cross Cannon engine, then Fusion or Link into a boss. Not validated, since the deck is illegal and has no recorded boards.
• Turn 2 (going second): Open Evenly Matched or Droll & Lock Bird as hand traps and interrupt the opponent's first summon or search. These copies are illegal in OCG, so this plan is theoretical.
• Recovery: Recover through Unauthorized Reactivation, Union Activation from the GY and Therion Discolosseum, all of which add or recycle engine pieces.
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs zero Side Deck cards.

Why it scores here

This is a theoretical, structural-only read because the list is illegal in OCG: it runs Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent (both Forbidden) and two copies of Droll & Lock Bird against a Limited limit of one. The core Union engine (Union Hangar, Union Activation, X-Cross Cannon) is present in high copy counts, and the usage data shows the archetype core is well represented, so the list reads as a real deck rather than a random pile. Interaction is broad, with 23 removal-text cards, 5 hand traps and Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster. However, only 10 of 55 main-deck cards are exact ABC archetype names, and 60 copies are off-archetype, so the engine is loose, and the Extra Deck boss options are mostly unvalidated. No recorded boards exist, so the floor and median are inferred from card text alone. The score comes from the deck as a system, not from averaging card scores, and the illegal copies cap the final number well below a normal evaluation.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 45, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure_forbidden (-8); banlist_exposure_limited_overrun (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Illegal list capped low with -12 modifiers

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Core Union engine is present at high copy counts and the archetype-core proxy suggests it is usually opened
• Broad removal and interaction text, with 5 hand traps and several board-wide answers
• Extra Deck carries several strong bosses across Fusion, Synchro, Xyz and Link

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Forbidden cards and a copy-limit overrun make the list unplayable as built
• Loose engine: only 14.3% exact-name archetype purity with 60 off-archetype copies
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists
• No recorded boards, so the floor and median cannot be measured

Critical choke points

• Union Hangar and Union Activation are the main engine keys; losing them leaves many Union monsters dead
• Going-second interaction depends on the illegal hand traps

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent are Forbidden and Droll & Lock Bird is over its Limited limit; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; OCG size rules are satisfied; Archetype-core proxy p = 0.951 and 14.3% exact-name purity
• Inferred: Union engine consistency and starter access; Interaction density and going-second plan; Boss-closing power from card text and stats
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated 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 record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN for this deck Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck has zero Side Deck cards, so post-side adaptability cannot be assessed
