Forbidden Deck #760338 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 18/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Sky Striker Link engine (Linkage, Engage, Raye/Roze/Zero/Kagari) leading to Link Summon pressure, with Surgical Striker - H.A.M.P. and Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS - Sky Thunder as the large-board finishers; Hand-trap and negation control (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) grinding the opponent out before the engine converts
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Sky Striker starter (Linkage, Engage, or Mecha - Widow Anchor) with Pot of Desires or Upstart Goblin for card flow, then Link Summon Raye/Roze/Zero. Keep Ash Blossom or Droll up for the opponent's first answer. Probability of at least one Linkage in a 5-card hand is about 0.25 (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand to present an Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll, or Ghost Ogre hand trap on the opponent's first engine or search, then rebuild through Sky Striker Ace - Raye and Mobilize. Hand-trap presence in 6 cards is about 0.72 (Inferred).
• Recovery: Recur Sky Striker spells from the GY through Lemnisgate and Ace Roze, and use Pot of Desires or Radiant Typhoon Vision to refill. This depends on a GY that has no evidenced recovery path beyond card text (Inferred).
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

This OCG list is a Sky Striker Link engine wrapped in a heavy layer of archetype-less staples: 10 hand traps, 20 negation-text cards, and 17 removal-text cards. Its interaction density is the most credible strength, which earns the end-board and going-second scores, while the engine's starter access (about 0.25 for a Linkage in the opening 5, Inferred) keeps consistency modest. There are no recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference and are scored low-confidence. The list is illegal: six cards exceed their OCG copy limits, including three Forbidden cards, so the score is capped at 18 and treated as theoretical only. Popularity and archetype usage (Sky Striker core present at 4 of 5 cards) did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Stun primary; Midrange secondary not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_plan (-4). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(49) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) = 46.2; + modifiers (-12) = 34.2; capped to 18 because legality is Illegal (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 interaction: 10 hand traps and about 20 negation-text cards
• Sky Striker Link finishers with real ATK (Link 2000 Zero, 2500 H.A.M.P.)
• Strong going-second hand-trap presence (~0.72 in 6 cards)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: six copy-limit violations including three Forbidden cards
• No Side Deck, so no adaptability
• Starter access is thin (~0.25 for Linkage in 5 cards)
• Mixed archetype: 67 off-archetype copies, low exact-name purity

Critical choke points

• Sky Striker Mobilize Linkage/Engage as the only archetype-specific starters
• Single Link route through Ace Raye/Roze without a clean alternative

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: six copy-limit violations and three Forbidden cards; Composition: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; 10 hand traps; 20 negation-text cards; Card text for Sky Striker Ace - Raye, Roze, Zero, and Ash Blossom
• Inferred: Starter probability ~0.25 for a Linkage in 5 cards; Going-second hand-trap presence ~0.72; Stun primary strategy from interaction density and card text
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (no tournament or dated meta sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for OCG in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck supplied: post-side plan cannot be evaluated
