Battlewasp Deck #756124 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 57/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Insect summon chains (Scout Buggy, Rapier, Resonance Insect, Armed Rebeellion) into Extra Deck boss monsters such as Battlewasp - Ballista the Armageddon (3000 ATK, piercing) and Battlewasp - Grand Partisan the Revolution; Fusion and Link finishers (Ultra Beetrooper Absolute Hercules 4000 ATK, Giant Beetrooper Invincible Atlas, Ragnaraika Stag Sovereign 3300 ATK)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (Scout Buggy, Rapier, Resonance Insect, or Armed Rebeellion) and chain Insect Special Summons into a Battlewasp boss or a Link monster, backed by Battlewasp Wind for extra searches
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Supply Soldier, Maxx C, or Infinite Impermanence to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Insect Special Summons and Extra Deck summons
• Recovery: Recur Insect monsters and Continuous Spells through Resonance Insect, Gokipole, Beetrooper Landing (GY effect), and Battlewasp Wind; Mighty Neptune is a late-game recovery body once 3 Insects are banished
• After siding: None. The deck has 0 Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan in a best-of-three.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional Insect engine: an estimated 0.85 chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand (my own hypergeometric estimate over about 12 starters, Inferred), with 3-copy starters for Scout Buggy, Rapier, Resonance Insect and Armed Rebeellion. It converts that engine into Extra Deck bosses at 3000+ ATK, and it has six or more interaction cards (Ash Blossom, Supply Soldier, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence, Titanocider, Annihilate Retroglight) to answer a board. The score is held back by the absence of recorded combos (so floor and median are text-only inference), a 21.8% exact-name archetype purity with several off-archetype Extra Deck staples, a self-conflicting Scary Moth, and zero Side Deck cards, which leaves no post-side plan. Popularity and usage data were not used to earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo profile only; D13 dropped (meta-neutral) and the remaining weights renormalized over 97. Structural ≈ 63, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Engine conflict (-2); Banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); 0.80*63 + 0.20*50 = 60.4, then modifiers -3 = 57.4, rounded to 57

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · 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

• Triple-copy starters (Scout Buggy, Rapier, Resonance Insect, Armed Rebeellion) give consistent T1 access
• Six or more interaction cards for both going first and going second
• Extra Deck boss monsters at 3000+ ATK with piercing and effect protection
• Full 15-card Extra Deck with Synchro, Link, Xyz and Fusion coverage

Weaknesses

• Zero Side Deck cards, so no post-side plan in best-of-three
• Scary Moth conflicts with the deck's multi-summon engine
• Low exact-name archetype purity (21.8%) with several off-archetype Extra Deck staples
• No recorded combos, so floor and median output are unverified

Critical choke points

• Opening starters depend on Insect Special Summon access; Scary Moth on the field shuts off most chains
• Insect banish costs (Ballista, Mighty Neptune, Grand Partisan) can drain the GY over a long round

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: 40 Main / 15 Extra / 0 Side, legal under the OCG size rules and copy limits (Maxx C 1, Crossout Designator 1, Ash Blossom 2); Scary Moth text: each player can only Special Summon once per turn; Exact-name archetype purity 21.8% and copy histogram 1x18, 2x5, 3x4
• Observed: Usage statistics show the Battlewasp and Beetrooper core is present; 22 archetype core copies in the Main Deck
• Inferred: About 0.85 chance of at least one starter in a 5-card opening hand (my own hypergeometric estimate); Interaction density and going-second board-breaking quality from card text; Combo ceiling and floor read from text, since no boards were recorded
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit, since no dated metagame sample or tournament link exists
• Data gaps: No recorded combos (combo data total 0), so 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 and going-second splits are unknown Deck title is null usage statistics in this deck flags appear to ignore Extra Deck cards: Cruel Saturnas, Ragnaraika Stag, Cicada King, Grand Partisan and Sachi are listed in cards with zone extra but flagged in this deck false, so core-card presence (52%) is understated Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
