Ghoti Deck #760641 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 29/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ghoti Synchro and Link boards (Askaan, White Aura Whale, Arionpos, Ghoti of the Deep Beyond) built from the Fish engine; Ghoti/Penguin/Mulcharmy card advantage and disruption from hand traps
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fish starter (Shif, Zep, Paces, Keaf) on turn 1, Synchro or Link into a Fish board, and hold Ash Blossom and Droll for the next turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Ice Barrier spells) to disrupt the opponent's first summon, then rebuild from the Fish graveyard
• Recovery: Banish-based revival from GY (Shif, Zep, Paces, Lifeless Leaffish, Aspischool) to re-establish a Fish board
• After siding: Not evaluable: side_count is 0, so no post-side plan exists in the export

Why it scores here

This OCG Ghoti list is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Triple Tactics Talent and 1 Baronne de Fleur, both Forbidden, and a 16-card Extra Deck against a 15-card maximum. Under the rubric it is scored only as a structural read and capped low. The core Fish engine has good access (P(at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.88, Inferred), and 13 hand traps plus about 15 negation-text cards give it real interaction density (Inferred). Output is hard to confirm: there are no recorded boards, no combo median, no tournament link, and no side deck, so floor and ceiling are both unknown. Popularity and archetype usage stats were not used as points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 44, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist exposure and size violation (-12). Final formula: Illegal deck: theoretical/structural-only. 0.80*Structural(44) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(30) = 41, then context modifiers -12 = 29 (Meta provisional, not scored)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense hand-trap and negation suite (13 hand traps, about 15 negation-text cards)
• Consistent Fish engine with about 88% core access in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred)
• Multiple synchro and link boss options with 2800-3000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent (3) and Baronne de Fleur (1)
• Extra Deck is 16 cards, one over the OCG limit
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low compactness: 54 Main cards with only 14.3% exact-archetype purity

Critical choke points

• Legality must be fixed before any normal score applies (remove Forbidden cards and one Extra Deck card)
• Reliance on Fish-type starters for the Synchro and Link chain
• Ash Blossom and Droll as the main answers to going-second disruption

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Forbidden Triple Tactics Talent x3 and Baronne de Fleur x1 in OCG; Extra Deck of 16 against a 15-card maximum; Main Deck of 54 cards within 40-60; side deck of 0; Banlist statuses and copy limits for listed cards
• Inferred: Core-access probability of about 0.88 in a 5-card opening hand; Brick estimate of about 0.12; Hand-trap probability of about 0.83 going second; Interaction density and resilience estimates from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; D13 matchup and format fit scored provisionally (about 40)
• 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/second, matchup, brick rates) no side deck (side_count 0), so post-side plan cannot be scored deck title is null Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
