Junk Deck #763574 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 7 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro boards (Junk Destroyer, Shooting Quasar Dragon, Road Warrior, Junk Berserker) attacking through a board cleared or pressured by interaction; Chip and card advantage from Ancient Fairy Dragon, Drill Warrior and the T.G. Hyper Librarian draw effects
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Tuner (Junk Synchron or Quickdraw Synchron), search or recycle via Tuning and Synchro into a boss; hold Effect Veiler and D.D. Crow for the opponent's first play
• Turn 2 (going second): Respond with Effect Veiler, D.D. Crow and Mystical Space Typhoon, then Synchro through the board with a Tuner and boss; Dark Hole is the reset card
• Recovery: Graveyard recursion through Glow-Up Bulb, Junk Synchron GY effect and Unknown Synchron, plus Monster Reborn for a boss from either GY
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its consistency is weak: each 3-copy starter has only about a 25% chance of appearing in a 5-card opening hand, and the 55-card list has 19 singletons and 20 zero-Level spells and traps with 8.6% exact Junk archetype purity. Its interaction (Effect Veiler, D.D. Crow, Mystical Space Typhoon, Dark Hole) and a few 2600 to 4000 ATK Synchro bosses give it a credible midgame, but no recorded boards exist to confirm conversion or median output. The list is illegal in OCG: three Level Eater, one each of Dandylion, Giant Trunade, Trap Dustshoot and Trishula are Forbidden, and two Gold Sarcophagus and two T.G. Hyper Librarian exceed their Limited cap of one. It has no Side Deck, so it earns nothing for post-side adaptability. Popularity of the Junk archetype was not credited; the illegal status caps the final score at 20 and the figures are theoretical, structural-only. (Structural ~40, Tournament Reliability ~30, banlist modifier -12, then illegal cap.)

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (not a clean blend; weights taken from Midrange). Structural ≈ 40, Going First ≈ 38, Going Second ≈ 40, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 30. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(40) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(30) + banlist modifier(-12) = 26; capped to 20 because legality is Illegal (theoretical/structural only). Meta Power is Provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Layered interaction: Effect Veiler, D.D. Crow, Mystical Space Typhoon x2, Dark Hole and Malevolent Catastrophe
• Strong Synchro closers: Shooting Quasar Dragon, Road Warrior, Junk Destroyer and Junk Berserker
• Graveyard recursion through Glow-Up Bulb, Junk Synchron and Unknown Synchron

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Forbidden and over-limit Limited cards are in the list
• Low consistency: 19 singletons, 8.6% exact archetype purity and 20 zero-Level cards
• No Side Deck and no recorded boards, so no post-side plan and no combo floor or median
• Usage shows only 1 of 17 core cards present

Critical choke points

• Junk Synchron or another Tuner must be present to Synchro summon any boss
• Dark Hole, Mystical Space Typhoon and Effect Veiler are the only answers for opponent boards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Forbidden and over-limit Limited cards are present; Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Card texts for the Synchro bosses and interaction
• Observed: Usage statistics: only 1 of 17 core cards is present
• Inferred: Starter probability and brick estimates from hypergeometric draws; Interaction quality and pilotability estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated sample or tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No Side Deck supplied: post-side plan cannot be scored No tournament link: archetype meta-share and match record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first and going-second splits are unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
