Kaiju Deck #763831 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 45/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Xyz boards (Cyber End Dragon, Cyber Eternity Dragon, Chimeratech Overdragon, ABC-Dragon Buster, Jizukiru) built from a toolbox of searchers and hand traps; Lightning Storm and Forbidden Droplet clearing the opponent's board, then a single Extra Deck threat
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Union Hangar, Aleister, Galaxy Soldier) and reach an Invoked or Union or Cyber Dragon line, holding Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom and Solemn Warning as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash, Maxx C, Droll, Infinite Impermanence) and Solemn Judgment or Solemn Warning to stop the first summon, then rebuild a board through Cyber Dragon Nova or the Union cluster
• Recovery: Recur from GY through Cyber Dragon Nova, Aleister GY effects, and Union Hangar / Union Driver equips; Terraforming can fetch Union Hangar or Magical Meltdown
• After siding: Not available: the list runs zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is a multi-package toolbox rather than a single engine: a Union cluster (Union Hangar searching LIGHT Machine Union monsters, Union Driver, A-Assault Core, B-Buster Drake, C-Crush Wyvern for ABC-Dragon Buster), a Cyber Dragon and Chimeratech cluster with Cyber Dragon Nova, an Invoked cluster (Aleister, Magical Meltdown, Invocation, Invoked Mechaba), and a dense interaction package. Searcher density gives about 0.86 odds of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the interaction suite (7 hand traps, 25 negation-text cards, two Solemn traps, Lightning Storm) is what earns most of the points, since it is evaluated on the system rather than as an average of card scores. Points are held back because no recorded boards exist, so combo floor and median are text-only inference, and the Kaiju archetype is nearly absent (3 exact-name copies, 4.3% purity), so the deck is a generic toolbox under an archetype label. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype's most-used core card (Harpie's Feather Duster, 57.7% inclusion) is missing, and the zero-card side deck caps adaptability. Galaxy Soldier has no Galaxy targets to search, which is a dead slot. Meta Power is provisional and no tournament data is linked, so the score is structural and not a meta read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox, D13 dropped and renormalized (meta-neutral; weights sum to 95). Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: No side deck (-3); Limited and Semi-Limited exposure (-1); Engine conflict and dead slot (-2); Diffuse identity (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Structural = weighted sum over 95 with D13 dropped = 56; 0.80*56 + 0.20*48 = 54.4, then modifiers -9 gives 45

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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 interaction package: 7 hand traps, 25 negation-text cards, two Solemn traps and Lightning Storm
• High searcher density (17 searcher-text cards) with a real Union route via Union Hangar
• Real Extra Deck threats (Cyber End Dragon, Cyber Eternity Dragon, Chimeratech Overdragon, Jizukiru) with 4000/3300/2800 ATK options
• Fully legal at the ocg restriction set: all Limited and Semi-Limited copies are at legal max

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck at all, so no post-side plan and weak matchup adaptation
• Kaiju label does not describe the list: 3 exact-name Kaiju copies, 67 off-archetype copies
• Dead or conditional slots such as Galaxy Soldier (no Galaxy targets) and Clockwork Night
• Fusion enablers are thin (Polymerization, Overload Fusion, Invocation, Future Fusion Nova), so the Extra Deck is under-supported
• Core card Harpie's Feather Duster (57.7% usage inclusion) is missing

Critical choke points

• Opening a searcher plus at least one Extra Deck enabler; Union Hangar and Aleister are the main bridges
• Going-second hand-trap coverage: P(at least one hand trap in 6 cards) ~0.58 means nearly half of second-turn hands have no hand trap
• Fusion and Union lines that rely on a single Polymerization-class enabler or a single Limiter Removal route

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within the OCG size rules [40-60, 0-15, 0-15]; All restricted cards are at or under legal copies (Limited 1, Semi-Limited 2); Card texts for all 40 distinct cards as provided in the evidence; Usage stats: Harpie's Feather Duster 57.7% (absent), Droll & Lock Bird 50% (present); Exact-name archetype purity 4.3% (3 of 70 copies)
• Inferred: Searcher access ~0.86 in a 5-card hand (hypergeometric, card-text based); Going-second hand-trap chance ~0.58 in a 6-card hand; Structural weights and dimension scores D1-D11, D14 from text reads and composition; Ceiling read from Union, Cyber Dragon, Invoked and Fusion texts (no recorded boards)
• Provisional: Meta Power and D13 matchup fit: no dated metagame sample and no tournament link
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot records absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick/starter rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Starter, two-card combo and full-brick probabilities not computed in the evidence
