Earthbound Deck #760496 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon Red Dragon Archfiend-named monsters (Red Nova, Red Supernova, Red Hypernova, Tyrant) and attack through a board cleared by Raigeki, Lightning Storm, or Harpie's Feather Duster; Resonator recursion: Synkron, Vision, and Ghost Belle recycle Resonators from the GY to rebuild the Synchro engine
• Turn 1 (going first): Resonator Call or Soul Resonator searches a Resonator, then Synchro into a Red Dragon Archfiend-named boss while holding Ash Blossom and Solemn Strike up
• Turn 2 (going second): Ash Blossom, Ghost Mourner, Droll, and Ghost Belle answer the opponent's first summon or activation, then Raigeki or Lightning Storm clears the board for a Synchro follow-up
• Recovery: Resonator monsters return from the GY through Synkron Resonator and Vision Resonator; Crimson Gaia and Red Zone add board pressure after an interaction exchange
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG: three copy-limit violations (Ash Blossom at 3 vs 2, Droll at 2 vs 1, and a forbidden Called by the Grave), so it is capped at 30 and labeled theoretical/structural-only. Structurally it reliably opens a Resonator starter (P(at least one searcher in a 5-card hand) is about 0.84, Inferred), and its Resonator recursion gives some resilience after interaction. Its interaction suite (Ash, Ghost Belle, Ghost Mourner, two Solemn traps, Droll, Raigeki, Harpie's Feather Duster, Lightning Storm) is dense and reads well on the board, and the closing Synchro bosses are strong on paper. The score was built from consistency, interaction, and closing on the system rather than from averaging card scores, and popularity earned nothing, since the archetype core is only 43.8% present in this list and no combo or tournament evidence exists.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); illegal_list_cap (0). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) + Modifiers(-8) = 47.6; Illegal deck capped at 30; theoretical/structural-only. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · 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, layered interaction suite (hand traps, Solemn traps, Raigeki, Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster)
• Searcher-heavy Resonator engine with a high probability of finding a starter
• Strong Synchro closing bosses in the Red Dragon Archfiend family
• Recursion from the GY through Synkron, Vision, and Ghost Belle keeps resources regenerating

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: three copy-limit violations including a Forbidden card
• Archetype core only 43.8% present (7 of 16 usage-stat core cards); key Red Dragon Archfiend and Bone Archfiend cards absent
• Zero side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No combo data; floor and median are unknown

Critical choke points

• Synchro Summon requires a Tuner plus a non-Tuner; with 24 Tuners the non-Tuner count and Tuner pairing decide whether the engine turns on
• Opening hands without a searcher or Resonator starter (about 16 percent per the archetype-core proxy) have no functional line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main deck 57 cards, Extra 15, Side 0; within OCG size rules; Copy-limit violations: Ash Blossom 3 vs 2, Droll 2 vs 1, Called by the Grave 1 vs 0 (Forbidden); All 15 Extra Deck cards are Synchro monsters; Card text and ATK/DEF values from the resolved card list; Core coverage 7 of 16 usage-stat cards present (43.8%)
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in a 5-card hand) about 0.84 from the hypergeometric estimate; Interaction density and hand-trap quality read from card text; Closing power on the Synchro bosses read from ATK and text; Brick risk from Tuner-heavy composition
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits unknown Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample Side deck empty; post-side plan not evaluable
