P.U.N.K. Deck #757858 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Chaos Angel, The Zombie Vampire, Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Amazing Dragon, Thunder Dragon Colossus) reached through search-and-summon chains; no verified win route beyond this (Inferred); Link and Synchro board pressure from P.U.N.K. and Bystial extenders (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a P.U.N.K. starter or Thunder Dragon searcher, search a second engine piece, then Synchro or Fusion into a boss. Starter access at 5 cards is about 23% per copy-3 card (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps Maxx C and Droll & Lock Bird to answer the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through searchers. Only 2 hand traps and a 6-card hand give P(>=1 hand trap) of about 19% (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion from GY through Thunder Dragondark, Thunder Dragonhawk and Noh-P.U.N.K. Deer Note, plus Tearlaments and Bystial GY effects (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its legality is broken: Albion the Branded Dragon is Forbidden in OCG, and Fairy Tail - Snow is run two copies against a limit of one, so the score is capped and labelled theoretical and structural-only. Its consistency is moderate: the core archetype group has about a 78% chance of at least one piece in the opening five, but the per-copy starter odds are low and the deck spans P.U.N.K., Thunder Dragon, Bystial, Tearlaments, Horus and Branded, so only 13 of 75 cards are exact P.U.N.K. names (17.3% purity). Its strongest feature is end-board power from high-ATK Extra Deck bosses and strong searchers. It has only two hand traps, no side deck, no recorded boards, and no tournament or meta data, so its interaction, going-second and post-side scores stay low and Meta Power remains null. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 39, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 30, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit and banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflict across sub-archetypes (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then Illegal cap and modifiers

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.23 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.22 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Strong Extra Deck bosses with high ATK
• Large searcher count (17) for redundancy
• Full 15-card Extra Deck with varied summon routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG (Forbidden card and over-limit copies)
• Off-archetype spread lowers engine coherence
• Only 2 hand traps and no side deck

Critical choke points

• Starter access is low per copy-3 card
• Going-second interaction relies on only 2 hand traps

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Albion the Branded Dragon Forbidden, Fairy Tail - Snow over limit; Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0; Card stats and text from the export
• Observed: Usage stats: 7 of 17 core cards present (41.2%)
• Inferred: Starter and brick probabilities; Going-second hand-trap odds; Interaction and recovery reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: meta-share and match record absent No win-rate telemetry Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck registered
