Earthbound Deck #757985 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 40/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Synchro Engine
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend family boss monsters (Red Nova, Supernova, Bane, Dis Pater) from a Resonator / Archfiend line and attack through or around the board.; Resonator Call and Crimson Gaia search the Red Dragon Archfiend / Resonator package, then Synchro into 3000 to 4000 ATK bosses.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Resonator tuner plus searcher, Synchro into a Red Dragon engine, then protect the board with Red Zone, Solemn Judgment and the hand traps.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle or Droll to break the opponent's first line, then continue through the Resonator engine with a Synchro Summon.
• Recovery: Recur Resonator monsters from GY with Red Dragon Archfiend and Synchro Zone style effects, then rebuild with searchers.
• After siding: No Side Deck is present, so there is no post-side plan; best-of-3 play cannot be evaluated.

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is a Resonator tuner and searcher package that feeds a Synchro Extra Deck of Red Dragon and Archfiend bosses, and the probability estimates (about 0.85 for at least one searcher in an opening hand of 5) support a reasonably live opening (Inferred). Its ceiling comes from bosses at 3000 to 4000 ATK and a stack of hand traps and negations, but no recorded boards exist, so floor and median output are estimated from text only. Interaction density and going-second hand-trap coverage add to the score, while the lack of a Side Deck and the mixed sub-archetypes (Resonator, Archfiend, Bystial, Red-Eyes) weaken consistency and pilot reliability. The list is Illegal: three cards exceed their OCG copy limits, including a Forbidden card, so the uncapped structural result (about 50) is capped at 40 as a theoretical, structural-only read. Popularity and meta share did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 57, Going Second ≈ 61, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-4); engine conflict (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 56.4, then context modifiers -7 gives ≈50 uncapped; capped to 40 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

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

• Dense searcher package (17 searcher-text cards) gives good access to the Resonator and Red Dragon engine
• Eight hand traps and 13 negation-text cards give multi-layer interaction
• Extra Deck of 15 Synchro bosses with 3000 to 4000 ATK gives strong closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal: three cards exceed copy limits, including a Forbidden card
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Mixed sub-archetypes (1.4 percent exact-name purity) weaken engine coherence
• No recorded combo data, so floor and median output are unverified

Critical choke points

• Synchro Summon needs a live DARK Tuner and a non-Tuner, so losing the Resonator tuners to hand traps can stall the line
• Red Dragon Archfiend routes depend on one Extra Deck family

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality violations and banlist statuses from the evidence pack; Main 56 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Card stats and text from the evidence pack
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter estimate of about 0.85; Hand-trap coverage estimate of about 0.62 going second; Interaction and ceiling reads from card text
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (D13) because no dated meta sample or tournament link exists
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists for this deck Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics marks Extra Deck cards such as Red Dragon Archfiend, Bystial Dis Pater and Kuibelt as not in deck even though the cards array lists them in the Extra zone, so core_present_pct (50) is understated and likely a matcher bug that ignores the Extra zone
