Shark Deck #760098 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±12 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz beatdown through the Shark Drake and Number lines (Number 32: Shark Drake, Number C32: Shark Drake Veiss, Number C32: Shark Drake LeVeiss), with Full-Armored Xyz and Crystal Shark as bridges; Mulcharmy draw-and-grind into Seventh Ascension / Seventh Tachyon searches, converting card advantage into a late Xyz board
• Turn 1 (going first): Surfacing Big Jaws, Buzzsaw Shark and Abyss Shark open the Main Phase into Xyz Summons; the 2-card Shark starter (Hydrojet/Crystal Shark) feeds the Number route. Inferred from text; no board data
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru, Ghost Ogre) disrupt the opponent's first summon, then Mulcharmy draws off their summons while the Xyz line is rebuilt. Inferred from text
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos/Purulia re-draw after a hand-trap or board wipe; Seventh Ascension and Virtue Stream recover interaction and Shark cards from Deck and GY. Inferred from text
• After siding: None. The deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side adjustment in a best-of-3 event; the list cannot be adapted between games

Why it scores here

Structural power is scored on the system, not as an average of card scores. The Shark core is very reliably accessible, with about 0.97 probability of at least one core-group card in a 5-card opening hand, so the engine comes online often, but the redundant 3-of starters are spread across three or more sub-engines (Shark, Number, Mulcharmy, Seventh). Interaction is the strongest layer: 12 hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Droll & Lock Bird and Harpie's Feather Duster give the deck a real answer package for both turns. The deck has no recorded boards, so ceiling and median are text-only inference and are not measured. Popularity of the Shark archetype did not earn any points, and the deck is capped low because it is Illegal in OCG: two Forbidden cards (Bahamut Shark x2, Triple Tactics Talent x1) and a 55-card main with no side deck mean the list cannot be played as built, so only a theoretical structural read is given.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist / copy-limit violation (-12); Engine conflicts (-2); No side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical structural read only. Structural 53.6 (Toolbox weights); 0.80*53.6 + 0.20*45 ≈ 51.9 before the Illegal cap; final capped to 25. Meta provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Very high core-group access (≈0.97 in a 5-card hand)
• Layered interaction: 12 hand traps plus Solemn, Droll, Harpie, Crossout and Ultimate Sky
• High end-board ATK from Number 32 / Shark Drake Veiss / LeVeiss

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden cards and a 55-card main
• No side deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Low archetype purity (7.1% exact-name) and a three-way engine split

Critical choke points

• Remove Bahamut Shark (x2) and Triple Tactics Talent before the deck is playable
• Surfacing Big Jaws / Shark Drake starters are the only route into the Xyz line; losing them to hand traps stalls the engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Bahamut Shark x2 and Triple Tactics Talent are Forbidden in OCG and over the limit; Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 counts; Core-group copies (27) and inclusion stats for Surfacing Big Jaws and Mulcharmy lines; ATK/DEF values for Number 32, Shark Drake Veiss and LeVeiss
• Inferred: Opening-hand access (0.97) and brick estimates; Interaction layering from text read of 12 hand traps and removal cards; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for going-first/second, matchup or brick rates Deck title is null Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
