Springans Deck #757823 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Xyz, Fusion
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Springans Xyz boards (Gung-Ho! Springans!, Gigantic Champion Sargas, Springans Merrymaker) backed by Albaz-line Fusions (Sprind, The Dragon that Devours the Dogma, Rindbrumm, Mirrorjade) when the Albaz engine is online; Spell-driven Springans searches (Springans Watch, Tally-ho! Springans, Great Sand Sea - Gold Golgonda) feeding Xyz Summons
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Springans starter (Kitt, Rockey, Watch or Tally-ho!) searches a Springans or Great Sand Sea, then Xyz Summon into Merrymaker or Sargas; Albaz line is a one-copy-source dependency and is not reliable on T1
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand with Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit or My Body as a Shield to protect the Xyz board, then Merrymaker or Gung-Ho! into a Springans Ship or Sargas for removal and pressure
• Recovery: Springans Brothers and Springans Rockey recycle from the GY and Tri-Brigade Springans Kitt revives a Tri-Brigade monster; recovery depends on Xyz material being present
• After siding: No side deck is present in the export (side_count 0), so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal as submitted: Branded in High Spirits runs 2 copies against a Limited cap of 1, so it receives a structural-only score and is capped low. Its Springans core is dense (Springans Kitt x3, Tri-Brigade Kitt x3, Springans Watch x3, Tally-ho! x2, Rockey x2) and the Springans Searcher text group gives about an 87% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), so the engine is accessible on the first turn. The Extra Deck is well filled (Gung-Ho!, Merrymaker x2, Sargas x2, Exblowrer, plus Albaz Fusions) and offers many Xyz and Fusion routes, which lifts the structural score. The main weakness is that the Albaz Fusion line depends on very few main-deck enablers (one Fallen of Albaz and one Fallen of the White Dragon, about a 24% chance that at least one is in hand, Inferred), and purity is only 27% for the exact archetype name (51 of 70 main-deck copies are off-archetype), so the deck is a toolbox-style Xyz build with weak combo floor. The score comes from consistency, Extra Deck coverage and interaction density on the system, not from averaging card scores and not from Springans being an established archetype.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-10); illegal_cap (-4.6). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 49.6, then Illegal cap (-10 banlist exposure, -4.6 illegal cap) gives 35; theoretical / structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Dense searcher density (18 searcher-text cards) makes the first turn reliable
• Extra Deck is fully used with 10 Xyz, 4 Fusion and 1 Synchro options, giving multiple end-board routes
• Two hand traps plus 12 negation-text cards give layered protection for the Xyz board

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Branded in High Spirits exceeds its Limited copy cap
• Albaz Fusion line has only about a 24% chance of an enabler in the opening hand
• Exact-archetype purity is only 27%, so many slots are off-plan
• No side deck in the export, so no post-side evaluation or matchup-adjustment is possible
• Usage evidence reports missing staple interaction (Solemn Judgment, Solemn Warning, Droll & Lock Bird) that is absent from this list

Critical choke points

• Xyz Summon materials: most of the board needs 2 Level 4 or Level 8 monsters on the field
• Albaz enabler (Fallen of Albaz / Fallen of the White Dragon) is single-copy in the Main Deck
• Legal copy count of Branded in High Spirits (must drop to 1 for the list to be legal)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 55 and Extra Deck 15 are within the OCG size rules; Branded in High Spirits runs 2 copies against a Limited cap of 1 (Illegal); Copy histogram sums correctly: 6 x1, 5 x2, 13 x3 = 55 Main cards; Extra Deck contains 13 distinct cards, 15 copies total (2 Sargas, 2 Merrymaker)
• Observed: Usage statistics show 9 archetype core cards, 4 present by the stated count, with 60% inclusion each
• Inferred: At least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.87; At least one Albaz enabler in a 5-card opening hand is about 0.24; Consistency and brick estimates are based on hypergeometric draws and text roles, not play data; Structural score uses the Combo weight profile
• Provisional: Meta power is null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup and format-fit scores (D13) are provisional; Post-side plan and D12 are provisional because no side deck is present
• 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 exists in YGOVN for this deck Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Usage-stat core_present reports 4 of 9 core cards, but Mirrorjade the Iceblade Dragon (44146295) and Rindbrumm the Striking Dragon (51409648) appear in the Extra Deck cards list. The usage match looks inconsistent, so the core-present figure is unresolved No side deck in the export (side_count 0)
