Gagaga Deck #764397 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz Summon a high-ATK Rank 4-5-7-9 Extra Deck monster (Ryzeal Detonator 3000, Number C104 3000, Dark Matter Demolition 3100) off Level 4 Gagaga/Dododo/Gogogo/Umbral Horror material; Recursive Xyz pressure from GY revival (Ryzeal Plugin, Dododo Warrior, Dodododwarf Gogogoglove) and Barian's Untopia searches
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Searcher (Onomatopaira / Gogogo Goblindbergh / Zubababa Knight) into a Level 4 Normal Summon, then Xyz Summon a Rank 4 via Gagaga/Dododo/Umbral material; Barian's Seventh Untopia or Umbral Horror search to fuel the second Xyz
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C and Droll & Lock Bird to answer the first search or Summon; then rebuild with Umbral Horror / Gogogo search and a single Xyz over the opponent's board
• Recovery: Ryzeal Plugin and Dododo revival from GY, Mulcharmy draw-on-summon, and Astraltopia / Onomatopickup searches to rebuild the Xyz engine
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0); no post-side plan can be evaluated from the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a starter: the archetype-core group is about 96% likely to show at least one card in a 5-card opening hand and the searcher group about 95%, so the Xyz engine is usually live by turn 2 (Inferred from hypergeometric estimates). Its strongest feature is the system's interaction density: 8 hand traps (Ash Blossom, two Ghost Ogre, two Ghost Belle, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird) plus negation and removal text cover the first search and Summon, and the going-second hand-trap estimate is about 59%. Conversion is limited by the lack of recorded boards, so the ceiling (Detonator, Number C104, Dark Matter Demolition) and the median are both inferred from card text rather than observed; no combo evidence was supplied. The deck runs 73 off-archetype copies across roughly eight sub-archetypes (exact-name purity 2.7%), which costs engine coherence and brick resilience, and it has no side deck, so its post-side score stays low. Popularity was not credited: the archetype usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible but earn no points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 64, Going First ≈ 65, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-1); engine conflicts (-3); hand-trap density (2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); Final = 0.80*63.7 + 0.20*55 - 2 modifiers = 59.9 -> 60

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core engine is near-certain to appear in the opening hand (about 96%) and searcher density is high (26 searcher-text cards)
• Eight hand traps and 9 negation-text cards give strong going-second interaction
• Extra Deck has 15 distinct Xyz with high ATK and multiple negation/removal effects

Weaknesses

• Exact archetype purity is 2.7%; the deck mixes eight sub-archetypes, which dilutes engine coherence
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• 41 monsters including 6 Tuners and 3 Level-0 spells with no Synchro payoff leaves a high brick rate in non-Xyz hands

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Limited staples (Ryzeal Detonator, Ice Ryzeal, Ext Ryzeal, Sword Ryzeal, Seventh Tachyon, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird) are each one copy; losing one breaks a specific line
• Xyz Summon depends on Level 4 material being present on the field; no recorded combos confirm how often that happens

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal status: 60 main, 15 extra, 0 side within size rules; banlist statuses and legal copies match the evidence; Archetype usage: core cards present at 100% inclusion in the archetype stats; Card text for the 8 hand traps and 9 negation-text cards
• Observed: Usage statistics show the core archetype cards are standard across this list (27 core-group copies in deck)
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency: P(>=1 core) = 0.957, P(>=1 searcher) = 0.949 (hypergeometric); Going-second hand-trap estimate 0.593; Ceiling and median ratings from card text only (no recorded boards); Engine coherence penalty from exact purity 2.7%
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and Matchup/Format fit (D13 placeholder) — no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck registered (side_count 0), so post-side adaptability cannot be measured
