Harpie Deck #767213 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 52 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz beatdown and board control from Ryzeal and Gagaga/Dododo Xyz end boards (Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Number 104, Eschatos); Negation-protected Xyz pressure backed by hand-trap interaction (Effect Veiler, Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Droll & Lock Bird)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Gagaga/Dododo/Zubaba starter from hand, search or Special Summon a second body, then Xyz Summon a Rank 4 monster to contest the board while holding one or two hand traps for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's 14 hand traps to negate or redirect the opponent's first monster effect or Extra Deck summon, then rebuild a board through Gagaga/Dododo starters and recursion
• Recovery: Recover via GY-to-deck Ryzeal and Gagaga recursion (Ryzeal Cross, Onomatopaira searches, Gallant Granite) and by re-using banished-monster effects; the plan is only as reliable as its legal copy counts, so it must be trimmed first
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan in this list

Why it scores here

The list is scored as a connected Xyz-and-hand-trap system, not as an average of its cards. Its opening access is reasonable: 18 searcher-text cards give an estimated 0.89 chance of at least one searcher in a five-card opening hand, and several Level 4 starters (Gagaga Magician, Dododo Warrior, Gogogo Goblindbergh) can open the board on turn 1. Its interaction is the strongest part of the deck: 14 hand traps give an estimated 0.86 chance of at least one in a six-card going-second hand, which supports the going-second score. The Xyz end boards (Ryzeal Detonator, Ryzeal Duo Drive, Number 104) provide closing pressure and negation layers, but there is no combo data, so the ceiling and median are inferred from card text only. The list is illegal (three copy-limit violations and 16 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card cap), and it has no Side Deck, so per the rubric it receives a structural-only score capped at 30 rather than a normal Final Contextual score. Its popularity signals did not earn points: the archetype is labelled Harpie but contains no Harpie-named cards, and the core Harpie's Feather Duster is absent.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57.3, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Copy-limit and banlist exposure (-8); No Side Deck (-2); Dead Extra Deck slot (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: normal formula (0.80*Structural 57.3 + 0.20*TournamentReliability 52 = 56.2) is not applied; score is capped at 30 as a structural-only theoretical read. Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• Layered hand-trap and negation coverage for going second (14 hand traps, 17 negation-text cards)
• Broad searcher density (18 searcher-text cards) gives reliable opening access
• Several 3000-ATK Xyz end boards with Extra Deck breadth

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: three copy-limit violations and an oversized Extra Deck
• No Side Deck, so zero post-side adaptation
• Archetype label Harpie with no Harpie cards; core Harpie's Feather Duster absent
• Kali Yuga and several Extra Deck Xyz are conditional or dead in this build

Critical choke points

• Legal copy limits: Seventh Tachyon, Ash Blossom and Ice Ryzeal must be cut before the list can be played
• Ryzeal Extra Deck summon restrictions limit how many Extra Deck monsters can follow a Ryzeal starter

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: three copy-limit violations (Seventh Tachyon 3 vs 1, Ash Blossom 3 vs 2, Ice Ryzeal 2 vs 1); Extra Deck size 16 exceeds OCG cap of 15; Main Deck 52 cards within 40-60 range, Side Deck 0; Harpie archetype label with 0 Harpie-named cards; Harpie's Feather Duster absent; Hand-trap count 14, searcher-text count 18, negation-text count 17
• Observed: Usage statistics: Droll & Lock Bird present (69% inclusion); Harpie's Feather Duster absent (62% inclusion)
• Inferred: Starter access 0.89 at least one searcher in hand of 5; hand-trap coverage 0.86 going second; Ryzeal and Gagaga engines are conditional, so brick rate is elevated; Ceiling and median power read from card text only, since no combo boards exist
• Provisional: Meta position and tournament reliability are unknown without a 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rate Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck: post-side plan cannot be assessed
