Borrel Deck #760485 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 46 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon and pressure with the 3500 ATK link bosses (Borrelend Dragon, Borrelshroud Dragon) backed by Borrel and Rokket Link engine cards; Synchro/Fusion/XYZ follow-up (Borreload Fatalflare Dragon, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon) and Rokket recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Rokket starter (Rokket Loader, Quick Launch, Rokket Tracer or Rokket Barrage), search or Special Summon into a Link line, and hold Ash Blossom, Maxx C or Droll and Lock Bird for the opponent's first interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 9 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Impulse, Dominus Spark) to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Rokket recursion
• Recovery: Rebuild from the GY through Rokket Tracer, Absorouter Dragon and Boot Sector Launch, which add or Special Summon Rokket monsters from the Deck or GY
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a connected system, not as an average of its cards. Its consistency comes from several redundant Rokket starters (Rokket Loader, Quick Launch, Tracer, Barrage) that give P(at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.996 (Inferred). Its interaction is the strongest part of the system: nine hand traps plus eight negation-text cards let it stop the opponent's first board. Its closing power comes from 3500 ATK link bosses, but no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference. The score is capped at 35 because the list is illegal: a Forbidden card, an over-limit Striker Dragon and a 17-card Extra Deck, with no Side Deck. Archetype popularity earned no points, and the 17.5% exact-name purity was treated as a weakness.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); extra deck over size (-2); engine conflicts (-1). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 54.6, minus 11 in modifiers gives 43.6; capped at 35 because the list is Illegal. Theoretical / structural-only read. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 1 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Redundant Rokket starters across several 3-copy cards
• Nine hand traps with a mix of negation and removal
• Two 3500 ATK link bosses with negation text
• Recursion through GY Rokket monsters

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Forbidden Borreload Savage Dragon and over-limit Striker Dragon
• Extra Deck of 17 against a 15-card cap
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Low archetype purity (17.5%) with off-engine Mulcharmy and Dominus cards

Critical choke points

• Borreload Savage Dragon (Forbidden) cannot be legally played
• Striker Dragon is run at 2 copies against a limit of 1
• The Extra Deck must lose 2 cards to reach 15

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Borreload Savage Dragon Forbidden, Striker Dragon Limited and run at 2, Extra Deck of 17, Side Deck of 0; Main deck 46 cards and card texts from the evidence pack; Archetype purity 17.5% and spread across Rokket, Mulcharmy and Dominus
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from hypergeometric estimates (about 0.996 for an archetype-core card); Structural scores for D1 to D14; Brick risk from the hand-trap and starter mix
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference No tournament link, so there is no archetype meta share or per-pilot record No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second or matchups No Side Deck, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured
