Borrel Deck #760396 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link/Fusion Extra Deck boss monsters (Borrelsword, Borreload, Borrelend class) summoned off a Rokket/Borrel engine started by Rokket Loader, Quick Launch and Rokket Tracer; Recursion-driven board advantage from Rokket and Borrel Regenerator/Absorouter loops, with Stun-style interaction (hand traps, Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm, Rivalry of Warlords) to blank the opponent's board
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Quick Launch or Rokket Loader to reach a Level 7 DARK Dragon, then Absorouter or Magnarokket into Link Summon of Trisborrel/Borrelsword; the deck lacks Borrelend and Borrelshroud, so the link board is thinner than the archetype standard (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit and Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild from the GY via Rokket Tracer and Borrel Regenerator (Inferred)
• Recovery: Absorouter Dragon and Rokket Recharger return Rokket monsters from the Deck or GY; Double Disruptor Dragon can revive two Rokket monsters from the GY (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this list; a best-of-3 list would need one before it can be played (Verified: side count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is real and well-supported: the archetype core is present in 94.7% of opening 5-card hands (Inferred hypergeometric), and Rokket Loader, Quick Launch and Rokket Tracer each run 3 copies, which gives it a reliable first-turn starter. Interaction is dense, with 8 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards, so the end-board holds up through a typical going-second turn. Conversion and median output could not be measured, because the deck has no recorded boards and the combo score is text-only (Inferred). The deck is also illegal in OCG: 4 copy-limit violations, 2 Forbidden cards and a 16-card Extra Deck, so it does not get a normal contextual score, and the 30 is capped as structural-only. Popularity was not credited, the Borrel archetype's usage stats did not raise any score, and card scores were not averaged into this one.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); copy_limit_violation (-4); extra_deck_overrun (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers (-12), then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (structural-only, no normal contextual score)

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

• Archetype core is almost always present in an opening 5-card hand (94.7%, Inferred)
• Dense interaction: 8 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards (Verified counts)
• Recursion routes (Absorouter Dragon, Rokket Recharger, Borrel Regenerator, Double Disruptor Dragon) give some interruption resilience (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: copy-limit overruns, two Forbidden cards and a 16-card Extra Deck (Verified)
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptability (Verified)
• Eighteen tech slots and 20 singletons raise the risk of dead cards in hand (Inferred)
• Missing Borrelend Dragon and Borrelshroud Dragon, which are high-inclusion archetype cards (Verified usage stats)

Critical choke points

• Rokket Loader and Quick Launch at 3 copies each both need to be live on turn 1, and both are inside the 25% per-copy hand5 odds (Inferred)
• Forbidden Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent cannot be legally played in OCG, so any line that relies on them is not available (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 4 copy-limit violations, 2 Forbidden cards, Extra Deck 16 > 15, Side Deck 0; Archetype core present in 94.7% of opening 5-card hands (hypergeometric); Archetype usage stats: Rokket Loader, Quick Launch, Borrelend and Borrelshroud are core cards
• Inferred: Engine reliability and brick rate from draw odds and text roles; Interaction quality from negation and hand-trap text; Recovery plan from recursion card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) has no archetype share or tournament link
• Data gaps: No recorded combos (total_combos 0): floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first/second and matchup rates are Unknown No Side Deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
