Forbidden Deck #757940 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Exodia-style five-piece hand win (The Unstoppable Exodia Incarnate plus Forbidden One pieces) as the instant finisher, with Fusion/Link/Synchro boards as the secondary route; Fusion and Link boards (Almarduke, Saint Azamina, Psychic End Punisher, Snake-Eyes Doomed Dragon) built off Mulcharmy and Millennium searches
• Turn 1 (going first): Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Purulia draw engine, Millennium Ankh or Heart of the Blue-Eyes for search into Exodia pieces, and Ash/Ghost Belle held up as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first commitment, then use Mulcharmy draws and Fusion/Link extension off the surviving board
• Recovery: Recur via Ghost Belle from the GY, Mulcharmy draws and Millennium Continuous Spell placements (Wedju Temple, Sengenjin, Golem) to rebuild a board
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck carries no side deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG as built: two Forbidden cards (Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent) are run, and Ash Blossom, Super Polymerization and Secret Village exceed their legal copy limits, so per the rubric it is capped and scored as a theoretical, structural-only read. Structurally it can open a Millennium-search and Mulcharmy-draw plan with a meaningful hand-trap suite (9 hand traps, 14 negation texts), and the Exodia finisher gives it an instant route when the five pieces line up. The main weaknesses are the low per-hand probability of any single starter (about 0.24 for a 3-copy card in a 5-card opening hand), 25 level-0 spells and traps padding the list, and a Forbidden-archetype label with zero exact-name purity across nine sub-archetypes that do not share one engine. No combo boards exist, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference, and there is no side deck and no meta sample, so Meta Power is provisional and null. Popularity of the core cards was not credited as strength, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50.5, Going First ≈ 46, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-2). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*50.5 + 0.20*42 - 10 = 38.8, then capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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

• Nine hand traps and 14 negation texts give multi-timing interaction
• Mulcharmy draw engine with 14 searchers supports card flow
• Exodia finisher provides an instant route when five pieces are assembled
• Recursion through Ghost Belle gives some resilience to interruption

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two Forbidden cards and three over-limit Limited or Semi-Limited cards
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low per-hand starter probability and 25 level-0 non-monsters increase brick risk
• Mixed sub-archetypes (Millennium, Exodia, Mulcharmy, Exodd, Blue-Eyes) with zero exact-name purity

Critical choke points

• Exodia finisher needs all five specific pieces in hand, each a 1-copy card
• Millennium Continuous Spell chain depends on Millennium Ankh or Heart of the Blue-Eyes as entry

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status with two Forbidden cards and five over-limit copies; Main 57 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Hypergeometric draw probabilities from the Main Deck
• Inferred: Starter access and brick estimates from card text and hypergeometric draws; Interaction density from card text role hints; Going-first and going-second split from hand-trap probability
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated sample); Format and matchup fit (no tournament link)
• 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, brick and OTK rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck present, so post-side plan is unevaluable deck title is null, so the name is taken from the archetype only
