Crystron Deck #756169 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 10+ Machine Xyz bosses from the Train/Crystron pool, chiefly Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket (5000 ATK) and Juggernaut Liebe (4000 ATK), with Flying Launcher (3800 ATK) as a further boss; Crystron Synchro boards (Eleskeletus, Crystron Cluster and Crystron Inclusion support) and Kashtira Unicorn (2500 ATK) pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Crystron Inclusion or Exceptional Schedule-style searchers, or Kashtira Unicorn Special Summoned from hand on an empty field, to reach a Crystron Synchro or Train Xyz boss; plausible but unverified because no boards were recorded
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird) and Gravity Collapse / Lightning Storm to slow the opponent's first board, then rebuild through searchers and Xyz bosses (Inferred)
• Recovery: Searcher text (17 cards) and Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw effects to rebuild after a disruption; recursion through Crystron Cluster and Night Train-style GY effects (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system and not as an average of its card scores. Its only reliable strengths are a large searcher and interaction package (17 searcher-text and 28 removal-text cards) and a high-ceiling Machine Xyz finish, which together give it a plausible structural closing power. Those strengths are heavily offset by a list that is only 18.6% exact Crystron (57 off-archetype copies across about 16 sub-archetypes), so the engines compete for the same hand and deck slots, and by Spell Canceller, which shuts off the deck's own Spells. The list is Illegal under the OCG ban list (four Forbidden cards and four copy-limit violations), so the score is capped at a theoretical, structural-only value of 25 and gets no normal Final Contextual score. Popularity does not earn points here: the archetype usage stats only confirm the core is real, and no recorded boards, matchup data or tournament results exist.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 46.5, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-7); engine_conflicts (-5). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(46.5) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 44.2; context modifiers -12 => 32.2; Illegal list => capped at 25 (theoretical/structural-only; Meta provisional/null)

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

• Machine Xyz finishers with high ATK (Gustav Rocket 5000, Liebe 4000, Flying Launcher 3800)
• Broad searcher and interaction package (17 searcher-text, 28 removal-text, 17 negation-text cards)
• Multiple distinct lines (Train, Crystron, Kaiju, Kashtira, Mulcharmy) give some redundancy

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit and Forbidden-card violations
• Only 18.6% exact archetype purity; the engines compete for the same slots
• Spell Canceller and Anti-Spell Fragrance shut off the deck's own Spells
• No side deck and no recorded boards, so post-side and combo evaluation are impossible

Critical choke points

• Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket needs Gustav Max on the field to Xyz Summon, and Gustav Max is copy-limited to 1 in this format
• Kashtira Unicorn only Special Summons from hand with no monsters on your field
• Crystron engine depends on Synchro/Tuner access from a 55-card main that is mostly off-archetype

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal (4 Forbidden and 6 Limited/Semi-Limited copy-limit breaches); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; side 0; Archetype purity 18.6% (13 exact Crystron copies of 70); Card text and ATK/DEF values for the listed cards
• Observed: Archetype usage: Crystron Inclusion, Crystron Cluster, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Forbidden Droplet are core cards in this deck's archetype usage stats
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency estimates (0.72 core, 0.86 searcher, 0.45 going-second hand trap); Brick and dead-hand rate, with conflicts from Spell Canceller and Kashtira Unicorn; Ceiling and interaction quality read from card text (no recorded boards); Structural dimension scores and the going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null: no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability (no tournament link or per-pilot record)
• 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, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null, so the name is derived from the archetype only no side deck (side_count 0) so post-side plan cannot be evaluated
