Borrel Deck #763752 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon into Borrel/Rokket boss Link monsters (Borrelend Dragon, Borrelsword Dragon, Borreload Dragon) and attack or negate through the opponent's board; Rokket recursion and Dark Dragon Link chains that rebuild the board after interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening Rokket Loader or Quick Launch to reach a Rokket starter, then Link Summon Breachborrel or Trisborrel into a board-breaking Link (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Droll to stop the opponent's first line, then rebuild through Absorouter Dragon and Rokket Tracer (Inferred)
• Recovery: Rokket Recharger and Borrel Regenerator revive Rokket monsters from the GY; Absorouter Dragon and Rokket Tracer add replacement starters (Verified card text, Inferred use)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists (Verified)

Why it scores here

Score comes from the system, not from the cards' individual strength or from Borrel's popularity: the archetype core group has about a 97% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand, and Rokket starters can be reached through several routes, which keeps the engine accessible (Inferred). Interaction is dense, with 14 hand traps and 19 negation-text cards, so the end board is layered and hard to dismantle (Inferred from text). The median output is weak because the 54-card main has 21 tech cards and 18 singletons, and roughly one in three hands includes a dead or narrow card, which pulls the floor and brick management down (Inferred). The deck is illegal (three copy-limit violations, one Forbidden card, and a 16-card Extra Deck), so it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score. The 30 is a capped theoretical ceiling, and no combo boards, tournament data, or side deck exist to lift confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, with Combo as the secondary read; Midrange weights used because the deck has interaction plus a Link-based midrange plan. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Banlist and copy-limit violations (-10); Extra Deck over limit (-2); Illegal cap (-8). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: Structural 51.1 with 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) gives about 50, then modifiers total -12 to 38, then capped at 30 as an illegal deck; theoretical/structural only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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 negation and hand-trap layer (14 hand traps, 19 negation-text cards)
• Multiple Rokket re-entry routes give recovery (Inferred)
• High-ATK Link bosses for closing (Verified stats)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three copy-limit violations plus a Forbidden card
• Extra Deck has 16 cards, one over the OCG limit
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• High tech and singleton count lowers consistency and hand quality (Inferred)

Critical choke points

• Rokket starters: most Link lines need a Rokket monster or Dark Dragon Link, so losing Rokket access stops the engine (Inferred)
• Single-copy Limited cards (Crossout Designator, Harpie's Feather Duster, Bystial Druiswurm) are dead when they miss

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Copy limits: Ash Blossom 3/2, Droll & Lock Bird 2/1, Called by the Grave 1/0; Extra Deck count 16 against a maximum of 15; No Side Deck present; Card stats and text from the resolved card list
• Inferred: Core-group access about 0.97 in a 5-card hand; Functional role classification, including Midrange primary and Combo secondary; Interaction density and resilience estimates from card text; Brick and median-output estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) is Provisional; only archetype-level context is available
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck or archetype No Side Deck, so side adaptability cannot be measured Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
