Performage Deck #767004 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Time Thief Xyz boss (Time Thief Redoer / Time Thief Perpetua / Time Thief Winder-supported Xyz) built from Time Thief Regulator, Winder and Bezel Ship, with Raider's Wing and Phantom Knights/Raidraptor Xyz as secondary bosses; Raigeki and Crackdown-style removal/steal into a Xyz board; Performage Trick Clown / Damage Juggler recursion as chip pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Time Thief starter (Regulator, or Winder once an Xyz is on board) or a Level 4 monster to Normal/Special Summon, reach a first Xyz with two Level 4 monsters, then use Startup/Flyback/Hack to feed it
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 7 hand traps (D.D. Crow, Artifact Lancea, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion, PSY-Framegear Gamma) and Raigeki / Harpie's Feather Duster to answer the opponent's board, then rebuild a Xyz from the remaining hand
• Recovery: Searchers (Winder, Phantom Knights of Silent Boots, Reinforcement of the Army, Foolish Burial) and GY recursion (Bezel Ship, Trick Clown, Raider's Wing) to rebuild a Xyz after a board wipe
• After siding: None: the deck has an empty Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system, not from averaging card scores. The Time Thief core (Regulator, Winder, Bezel Ship, Flyback, Startup) gives a real but narrow route to a Xyz boss, and the ~0.24 per-copy opening odds for Regulator (about 0.44 for Regulator or Winder combined, Inferred) keep the engine live on T1 only part of the time. Seven hand traps and Raigeki/Feather Duster give the deck reasonable interaction, especially going second (about 0.56 chance of at least one hand trap in a 6-card hand, Inferred). Purity is only 9.7% against an exact Performage name, and the 65 off-archetype copies across Time Thief, Raidraptor, Phantom Knights, Lswarm, Gusto, Utopia, PSY-Frame and D.D. conflict on Xyz materials and dead-card risk, which is why D2, D10 and D14 are low. Popularity and archetype share played no part (tournament context is absent). The deck has no recorded boards, no guides, no tournament link and no side deck, so the ceiling and floor are text-only inferences and the score carries low confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 44, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-4); weak post-side plan (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; Structural 46.3 with D13 renormalised out ≈ 46)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.44 · 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

• Seven hand traps and Raigeki/Feather Duster give going-second interaction
• Time Thief Xyz route has 3-copy starters and recursion through Bezel Ship and Trick Clown
• Searchers and GY recursion support rebuilding after a board wipe
• Main and Extra counts are within OCG size rules and all restricted cards are at 1 copy

Weaknesses

• 9.7% exact-name purity; 65 off-archetype copies across ~9 archetypes
• Dead-card risk from 14 tech cards and situational removal with no targets
• Xyz engines need specific materials that the main deck does not reliably supply
• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, guides or tournament data to confirm any line

Critical choke points

• A Time Thief Xyz must be on board before Winder and Raider's Wing function, so the first Xyz is a single point of failure
• Hand-trap coverage depends on the opponent's line; no answer exists for an unsummoned or non-monster board
• The Extra Deck is 15/15 with mostly single-copy Xyz, so a missing material route stalls the boss

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Legal in OCG: 57 main (40-60), 15 extra (0-15), 0 side (0-15); All Limited cards (Instant Fusion, Monster Reborn, Foolish Burial, Reinforcement, Feather Duster, PSY-Framegear Gamma, Daigusto Emeral) run at legal copy limit; Exact-name archetype purity is 9.7% (7 of 72 main copies); Side Deck is empty (0 cards)
• Inferred: Primary strategy Toolbox with Midrange and Tempo secondary, from archetype spread and tech/hand-trap counts; Starter access ≈ 0.44 for Regulator or Winder in hand5, with Winder needing an Xyz on board; Hand-trap coverage ≈ 0.56 going second; Engine conflicts and brick risk from the off-archetype spread
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit: no tournament link and no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied usage_statistics flags contradict the card list: Time Thief Redoer, Arc Rebellion Xyz Dragon, Time Thief Perpetua, Sakra Vendirage, Raider's Knight, Gagagaga Magician, Eclipse Twins, Daigusto Emeral, Utopic Future and Utopic Draco Future are in the Extra Deck yet marked in_this_deck:false, so missing_core is unreliable No Side Deck, so post-side adaptation (D12) cannot be assessed beyond composition No guides attached for the archetype
