Code Talker Deck #763979 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 39/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-summon Ignister and Cyberse Link monsters (Firewall Dragon Singularity, Light Dragon @Ignister, Allied Code Talker @Ignister) to reach high-ATK boards, backed by Mathmech and Code Talker support; Fusion/Synchro/XYZ follow-ups (Earth Golem @Ignister, Firewall Saber Dragon, Primathmech Alembertian) after the Link base is established
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon Ignister monsters with A.I. Connect, Cynet Mining and Ignister A.I.Land, then extend into Link-2 to Link-5 monsters while holding Ash Blossom and Droll as protection
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Red Reboot, Solemn Judgment) to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild the Ignister engine from the GY with Backup and Wizard @Ignister
• Recovery: Recover through Cynet Mining, Backup @Ignister and Doshin @Ignister searches, and GY revival of Cyberse monsters, but only if the Link base survives
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: its searchers (13 searcher-text cards, P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) about 0.79) and its multi-copy Ignister starters give a plausible route into the Link base, which is the engine's real conversion step. Interaction is the strongest part of the list, with 9 hand traps, 15 negation-text cards and 0.71 odds of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand, so it earns points for going second. Output, though, is capped by the 51-card main with 27 singleton slots and only 4 percent exact archetype purity, which hurts consistency and brick rate. The Extra Deck overflow (19 cards against a 15 maximum) and the Forbidden Link Decoder make the list illegal, so the Final Contextual score takes a banlist and legality modifier and is labelled theoretical and structural only. Popularity did not earn points: archetype usage data shows only partial core coverage (4 of 9 core cards present), and the score comes from the deck's consistency, interaction and ceiling, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo profile only; secondary strategies noted in identity, not blended. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 68, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist and legality exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional); Illegal-deck cap applied via modifier. 0.80*54 + 0.20*38 = 50.8; -12 = 38.8, rounded to 39

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.79 · 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 searchers (13) and multi-copy Ignister starters give a reliable first step
• Strong layered interaction: 9 hand traps and 15 negation-text cards
• Link-based endboard with high-ATK closers (Firewall Dragon Singularity 3500)
• Good going-second hand-trap coverage (about 0.71 for at least one trap in 6 cards)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Link Decoder and 19 Extra Deck cards (limit 15)
• Low archetype purity (4.3 percent exact name) and 27 singleton slots reduce consistency
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded combos, so the median and ceiling are unmeasured
• Heavy Extra Deck spread means cards like Earth Golem and Synchro pieces can be dead in some hands

Critical choke points

• Link Decoder is Forbidden: it cannot be played in OCG, so the deck is illegal as built
• The Link base must be established before the Link-5 and Link-6 payoffs can be summoned
• Hand-trap density depends on Ignister starters being live in the same hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Link Decoder is Forbidden and run once (legal_copies 0); Extra Deck has 19 cards against a 15 maximum; Main Deck has 51 cards, within the 40 to 60 range; Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts are all within limits; Searcher, hand-trap and negation text counts from the composition
• Inferred: Opening-hand odds (hypergeometric) for starters, searchers and hand traps; Interaction quality read from card text; Ceiling read from Link-5 and Link-6 card text; Going-first and going-second split from hand-trap odds
• 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 record are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and matchup results are unknown No Side Deck; post-side plan cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
