Performapal Deck #760652 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 43 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum and Magician engine into Supreme King Z-ARC, Odd-Eyes Xyz/Fusion boss, or Link beatdown (theoretical; list is illegal); Dark Magician of Destruction and Link-based board conversion
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum-search Performapal/Magician Pendulum monsters to set scales, then extend into a Pendulum boss; hand traps held for the opponent's first big play
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence to break the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Pendulum searches
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on empty boards; Supreme King Gate Zero and Pendulum searchers refill the Pendulum zones
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal in OCG: four Forbidden cards and one over-limit Limited card are run, so it receives only a structural read capped at 20 and is not a normal Final Contextual score. Structurally, the Pendulum core (3x Magician and Performapal pendulum searchers, plus Supreme King Gate Magician and Zero) gives a high starter-access probability (about 0.32 per 3-copy card in a 5-card hand, with the archetype core group about 0.82 in hand) and a deep searcher density (22 cards), which earned the engine, grind and recovery dimensions. Interaction is broad (7 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards), which supports going-second and end-board scores. No combos, tournament record, guides, or side deck were supplied, so the combo floor, median, and matchup dimensions rest on text inference and provisional data. Popularity of the archetype did not add points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = about 50, then capped at 20 by Step 2 because the list is Illegal; theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · 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

• Deep searcher density (22 searcher-text cards) gives reliable starter access
• Broad hand-trap and negation coverage for going second
• Multiple Pendulum-zone and Link recursion routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden and over-limit cards must be removed before any real rating
• Low archetype purity (5.2% exact-name), so engine coherence depends on sub-archetype overlap
• No side deck and no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Pendulum scale setup depends on Magician or Performapal Pendulum monsters being in hand
• Extra Deck boss access depends on Link and Fusion material availability

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 4 Forbidden cards and 1 over-limit Limited copy are run; Main 43 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Side is 0; Exact-name archetype purity 5.2%; Forbidden and Limited banlist statuses
• Inferred: Starter probability 0.32 per 3-copy card in opening 5; Archetype core group opening probability about 0.82; Hand-trap probability 0.68 going second; Brick and redundancy estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13)
• 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 or matchup telemetry in YGOVN No Side Deck; post-side plan unscorable Deck title is null
