GMX Deck #755673 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Dinosaur Fusion/Link closers (COMPREX 3700 ATK, Guardian Chimera 3300, ALLOS 3000, VELOX 2700) reached through GMX Applied Experiment #55, Polymerization and Dino recursion; Xyz/Link negation (Evolzar Laggia, Evolzar Dolkka, Mediclius) and direct-attack text (Horned Saurus) to finish a stalled board
• Turn 1 (going first): Fossil Dig or Researcher Selande to a Dinosaur or GMX starter, then Applied Experiment #55 or Chairman Kimridge to set up a Fusion Summon of ALLOS, VELOX or COMPREX
• Turn 2 (going second): Answer the opponent's board with hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence) and then run the same Fusion line
• Recovery: Returned Dino Daneen, Chairman Kimridge and Associate Noma return GY cards to the Deck, and 17 searchers refill the hand
• After siding: None: the export shows 0 Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The structural read is Combo with a Midrange secondary: a Dinosaur Fusion and Link engine that reliably reaches a starter (about 95% for at least one archetype-core copy in a 5-card hand) and has strong closers in the Extra Deck. Interaction is the deck's real strength, with 8 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards and several removal effects, so it can answer a board after a disruption. Conversion and median output are not measured because no recorded boards exist, so both are text-only Inferred estimates. Brick risk is high: 22 singleton slots and many situational cards (Nibiru, Tyranno, Qoatlus, Pot of Sloth, Forbidden Crown) lower consistency, and the list is illegal, so the Final score is capped at 30 as theoretical only. The score comes from consistency, engine coherence, interaction and closers on the system, not from popularity or from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 56.3, Going First ≈ 57, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*56.3 + 0.20*45 = 54.1; plus banlist modifier -12 = 42.1; capped at 30 because legality status is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only score)

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

• Several independent starters (Selande, Kimridge, Partner Selandea, Noma, Suppression Squad, Fossil Dig, Applied Experiment #55) make the engine reachable on the first turns
• Layered interaction: 8 hand traps plus negation and removal text cards
• Strong Extra Deck closers with direct-attack and negation text

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 3 Forbidden cards and 1 Limited card over its copy limit
• Low archetype purity (31.4%) with many off-plan cards (Pot of Sloth, Forbidden Crown, Harpie's Feather Duster)
• Several high-cost enablers (Nibiru, Tyranno, Qoatlus) need Dinosaurs banished from the GY or 5 summons
• No Side Deck in the export

Critical choke points

• Applied Experiment #55 as the main Fusion enabler, which costs 400 LP per excavated card
• Dinosaur monsters on the field or in the GY, which many enablers require
• Going-second hands with no hand trap

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 4 violations (Miscellaneousaurus 3 of 1 Limited; Triple Tactics Talent, Reprodocus and Cross-Sheep are Forbidden); Main 55 and Extra 15 counts within OCG size rules; Extra Deck breakdown: 8 Fusion, 5 Link, 2 Xyz; Card stats and text from the evidence excerpts; Archetype purity 31.4%
• Inferred: Starter probabilities from the hypergeometric table; Interaction density from semantic card text; Consistency and brick risk; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13); Post-side plan (D12)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Side count is 0: may be an export gap, since OCG allows up to 15 side cards usage_statistics in_this_deck flags conflict with the cards list for Extra Deck cards: GMX - VELOX, GMX - ALLOS, GMX - COMPREX and Evolzar Dolkka are listed as in_this_deck false and Evolved Daneen as false, yet cards[] lists them in the Extra Deck. Treated cards[] as the source of truth No guides attached Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
