Gagaga Deck #761935 — Yu-Gi-Oh! TCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• Format: tcg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 13 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz pressure from Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Vallon and Eclipse Twins on a board cleared or protected by hand traps (Inferred from card text; no combo boards recorded); Stun-style disruption: Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle, Nibiru, Solemn cards and Ryzeal Detonator as a board-control shell (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Ryzeal or Gagaga starters (Ice Ryzeal, Sword Ryzeal, Gagaga Ganbara Knight, Zubababancho Gagagacoat) plus Onomatopaira/Bonfire searches toward a Rank 4 Xyz; keep Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle up as hand traps when the opponent has no answer to open with (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll, Ghost Belle, Nibiru) to interrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Dododo/Mulcharmy draws and Xyz Summon (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through Mulcharmy Fuwalos/Purulia draws, Pot of Sloth, Mistaken Arrest-style card advantage and GY recursion (Ryzeal Plugin, Ext Ryzeal, Onomatokage) (Inferred)
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in TCG: five Forbidden cards, three copy-limit violations (Seventh Tachyon x3, Ash Blossom x3, Droll x2), so the score is capped at 30 and labelled theoretical/structural only. Structurally the 55-card main runs a split engine: 22 distinct cards from the Gagaga/Ryzeal/Dododo/Mulcharmy families with only 3 exact-name Gagaga copies (4.4% exact-name purity), which weakens starter coherence even though the archetype-core group has a 93% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred). Interaction is the deck's strongest structural feature: 9 hand traps, 16 negation-text cards and 12 removal-text cards give it resilience on both turns (Inferred from card text). Closing power is real but unproven: Nibiru, Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive and Vallon reach 2500-3000 ATK. No combo boards, tournament record or side deck exist, so the score does not reflect popularity or any recorded win rate, and no card scores were averaged into the deck result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Copy-limit and banlist exposure (-8); No side deck (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) + modifiers(-10) = 39, capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal; theoretical/structural only, Meta provisional

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.93 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.07 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Nine hand traps plus Ryzeal and Gagaga interaction give strong interruption on both turns (Inferred from card text)
• Closing power in the Extra Deck: Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Nibiru and Vallon at 2500-3000 ATK (Verified stats)
• Core archetype group has a high chance to appear in opening hands (0.93, Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in TCG: Forbidden cards and copy-limit violations must be removed before any real use
• Low exact-name purity (4.4%) splits the engine across Gagaga, Ryzeal, Dododo and Mulcharmy
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combo boards, so the ceiling and median cannot be checked against play

Critical choke points

• Forbidden and Limited cards (Called by the Grave, Triple Tactics Talent, Crossout Designator, Number 41, Anti-Spell Fragrance) make the list unplayable in TCG as built
• Single-copy Limited engine pieces (Ext Ryzeal, Ryzeal Detonator, Solemn Judgment, Bonfire) cannot be replaced by extra copies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: five Forbidden cards and three copy-limit violations (Seventh Tachyon, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird); Main 55, Extra 13, Side 0; Main and Extra within size rules; Archetype-core probability 0.9318 and per-card odds from the hypergeometric table; Exact-name purity 4.4%; 9 hand traps, 14 searcher-text, 16 negation-text, 12 removal-text cards
• Inferred: Engine consistency and brick risk from the split sub-archetype composition; Interaction resilience from hand-trap and negation card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link; Combo floor and median: no recorded boards
• 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 in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck supplied, so D12 cannot be measured
