GMX Deck #760725 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Dinosaur Fusion and Link boards (GMX - COMPREX, GMX - VELOX, GMX - ALLOS, Ultimate Conductor Tyranno) converting a GMX/Fur Hire board into lethal pressure (Inferred); Fur Hire Link and Rafale/Beat board pressure after Fandora or Rex searches (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon GMX Researcher Selande or Mulcharmy, search a GMX Spell/Trap or Fur Hire card, then Fusion or Link Summon into a Dinosaur Fusion (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Effect Veiler, Ghost Belle, D.D. Crow) to break the opponent's first turn, then rebuild a board with Dinosaur Fusions (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recycle GY Dinosaurs and GMX cards through GMX Chairman Kimridge, GMX Applied Experiment #55 and Returned Dino Daneen (Inferred from text)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this export

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a GMX starter: the archetype core group has P(>=1 in opening 5) = 0.93, and the searcher text group is similarly dense (Inferred). Its interaction package is broad, with 11 hand traps, Ash Blossom, Droll and Effect Veiler, which keeps interruption resilience and going-second interaction above average (Inferred from text and flags). Conversion is credible on paper, since the Extra Deck holds several 3000+ ATK Dinosaur Fusions and a 3500 ATK Tyranno, but there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-based estimates only. The score is capped low because the list is Illegal: four copy-limit violations include two Forbidden cards, and the deck has no Side Deck, so post-side adaptability earns almost nothing. Archetype popularity (GMX core present in 12 of 24 usage-core cards) confirms the list is real, not that it is strong, and the score was built from system-level dimensions, not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal list cap (0). Final formula: Structural 55.8 (Midrange profile). No dated meta, so Final = 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TR = 0.80*55.8 + 0.20*50 = 54.6. Modifiers total -12 (banlist exposure) gives 42.6. The deck is Illegal, so the normal Final is not used and the score is capped at 30. This is a theoretical/structural-only result.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · 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 GMX starter and searcher package with high P(>=1 starter in opening 5)
• Broad hand-trap and negation coverage for going second
• Extra Deck with several high-ATK Dinosaur Fusion and Link threats

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: four copy-limit violations including two Forbidden cards
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Off-archetype Main Deck slots dilute the engine (exact-name purity 23.3%)
• No recorded boards, so conversion is unverified

Critical choke points

• Dependence on Ash Blossom, Droll and Effect Veiler to stop opposing disruption
• Single Forbidden Link (Cross-Sheep) occupying an Extra Deck slot

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Called by the Grave and Cross-Sheep are Forbidden in OCG; Ash Blossom (3 copies, limit 2) and Droll & Lock Bird (2 copies, limit 1) exceed copy limits; Main 58 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Side Deck count is 0; Archetype core probability P(>=1 in hand 5) = 0.9292
• Inferred: Starter access and consistency from hypergeometric odds and card text; Interaction breadth from hand-trap and negation text; Extra Deck conversion potential from Fusion, Link and Xyz text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format 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 match record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck in the export, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured deck title is null
