Ursarctic Deck #764580 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ursarctic Synchro chains (Grand Chariot, Septentrion, Polar Star) that Special Summon multiple monsters off Ursarctic Big Dipper and Ursarctic Radiation; Hand-trap and negation-protected Synchro boards with Trishula, Lancea and Psychic End Punisher as non-archetype finishers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a searcher (Ursatron Alpha, Mikpolar, Miktanus) plus a level 7+ Tribute enabler, then chain Ursarctic monsters into a Synchro boss over the next turn
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle or Droll to protect the first Special Summon, then convert the Ursarctic monsters that survive into a Synchro board
• Recovery: Ursarctic Departure and Ursarctic Radiation return Ursarctic cards from the GY, and Ghost Belle recurs from the GY when banished or sent there
• After siding: Not evaluable: the list has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens an Ursarctic starter: 27 Ursarctic-named copies give about 0.96 odds of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and 14 search-text cards add redundancy (Inferred). Its Synchro engine (15 Synchro cards, 11 distinct) and recursion through Departure, Radiation and Ghost Belle support a multi-summon conversion plan, but no recorded boards exist, so conversion and median output are text-based estimates only. Interaction is dense (11 hand traps, 16 negation-text and 27 removal-text cards), which earns the endboard and going-second scores. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, the list is Illegal, and the score is capped at theoretical/structural-only. The score comes from the deck system, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange 85 / Toolbox 15 (approximate). Structural ≈ 55.8, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); no_side_deck (-4); illegal_cap (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers (-12) = 42.6, then capped to 25 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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 Ursarctic core (27 copies) gives high starter access in the opening hand
• Synchro Extra Deck with redundant level-8 tuners and 2700 to 3000 ATK bosses
• Broad interaction: 11 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards
• Recursion through Departure, Radiation and Ghost Belle

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: two Forbidden cards and three over-limit cards
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low compactness: 21 tech cards and 18 spells in the Main Deck
• No recorded combo data, so conversion is unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Single Level 7+ Tribute enabler needed for most Ursarctic Special Summons
• Synchro boss count depends on tuner survival through hand-trap and removal interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality violations: Forbidden cards run, copy limits exceeded; Main 59 / Extra 15 / Side 0 sizes and card stats from the card list; Archetype purity and role-tag counts from composition
• Inferred: Starter access from hypergeometric odds (0.96 archetype core, 0.24 per 3-copy card); Interaction quality from card text and role tags; Going-first and going-second scores from text and structure
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link)
• Data gaps: No recorded combos: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No Side Deck supplied, so post-side plan cannot be checked usage_statistics in_this_deck flags appear wrong for Extra Deck cards: Grand Chariot, Polar Star, Polari, Septentrion, Trishula, Chengying, Gymir, Dragite, Navy Dragon Mech, End Punisher and Lancea are in the Extra Deck in cards[] but are flagged missing, so core_present_pct 56 is unreliable and was not used
