Artifact Deck #758200 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro beatdown through X-Saber and Gottoms Synchro monsters (XX-Saber Gottoms 3100 ATK, Juraishin 3100 ATK, Commander Souza, Goyo King), with the Forbidden XX-Saber Gottoms as the strongest body; Recursive X-Saber Special Summons from the GY (Faultroll, Boggart Knight, Garsem, Gottoms' Second Call) to rebuild a Synchro board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher or Saber starter (Sneaky "C", X-Saber Bruno, Ragigura, Pellina) in hand, search via Ragigura, Bruno or Ghost Belle, and Synchro into a boss; hold hand traps as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's first board (Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Artifact Lancea) and rebuild through X-Saber GY recursion into a Synchro boss
• Recovery: Return X-Saber monsters from the GY through Ragigura, Garsem, Dark Soul and Faultroll's Special Summon condition, then re-Synchro
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This deck is Illegal in OCG: it runs one copy each of Called by the Grave and XX-Saber Gottoms, both Forbidden, so it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score and is capped at 30 and labeled theoretical/structural-only. Structurally it can reach its Synchro boss reasonably often, since a 3-copy searcher group gives about 71% odds of at least one in a 5-card opening hand and 12 hand traps give about 78% at least one in a 6-card going-second hand; these are Inferred hypergeometric estimates. Interaction is its strongest area (12 hand traps, 32 removal-text cards and 11 negation-text cards), but the 25-card main is only 8.3% exact-name Artifact and carries 66 off-archetype copies and 23 Level 0 spell/trap slots, which weakens consistency and efficiency. There is no combo corpus, no tournament link and no side deck, so the floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and post-side and matchup dimensions stay low-confidence. Popularity did not earn points: only 1 of 5 archetype core cards (Infinite Impermanence) is present, and the score comes from the system's consistency, interaction and closing structure, not from averaging the card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary (interaction-led), disclosed ratio 80:20 for the weight profile only. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 44, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: uncapped 0.80*46 + 0.20*40 - 8 (banlist modifier) = 37, capped to 30; theoretical/structural-only. Meta Power null (provisional).

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

• 12 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards give interaction density on both turns
• Searcher density of 12 cards gives about 71% odds of a searcher in a 5-card hand
• Synchro bosses in the Extra Deck, with Juraishin and Goyo King as legal closers
• Recursion from the GY through X-Saber monsters and Gottoms' Second Call

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two Forbidden cards are run, so the list cannot be played as built
• Low archetype purity (8.3% exact name) with 66 off-archetype copies
• 23 Level 0 spell/trap slots that bring dead-draw risk
• Only 1 of 5 archetype core cards present (Ash Blossom, S:P Little Knight, Droll & Lock Bird and Mulcharmy Fuwalos are missing)
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Extra Deck boss (XX-Saber Gottoms) is Forbidden, so the strongest closer is unavailable
• Reliance on a Synchro summon from a Tuner in hand, with a 24% chance of an archetype core starter in the opening hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 57 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side within size rules; Called by the Grave and XX-Saber Gottoms are Forbidden and over the copy limit; Card text for all 40 distinct cards; Usage statistics: 5 core cards, 1 present; Archetype purity 8.3% exact-name
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand odds (0.245 core, 0.708 searcher, 0.776 hand trap going second); Dimension scores D1 to D11 and D14 from card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (D13); Tournament reliability and post-side (D12)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter/OTK rates) no side deck: post-side plan not evaluable Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
