Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters from the Gold Pride and P.U.N.K. Synchro, Fusion, Xyz and Link pool (e.g. Psychic End Punisher 3500 ATK, Pin Baller 3000 ATK, Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Amazing Dragon 3000 ATK), established through Noh-P.U.N.K. and Gold Pride summon chains; Gold Pride and P.U.N.K. Link and Synchro pressure with Gold Pride - Eradicator and Gold Pride - Nytro Blaster removal
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Level 3 or Level 8 starter (Gold Pride - Leon, Noh-P.U.N.K. Ze Amin, Noh-P.U.N.K. Foxy Tune) and search or Special Summon into a Synchro or Xyz boss, backed by Infinite Impermanence and Ash Blossom for interaction (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Nibiru as hand traps against the opponent's first set-up, then rebuild through the searcher-text cards (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through GY-based Special Summons (Gold Pride - Captain Carrie, Noh-P.U.N.K. Deer Note) and the searcher-text cards (Inferred)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has an empty Side Deck (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan (Verified)

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a starter in most hands: the archetype-core group has P(at least one in a 5-card hand) of about 0.97 (Inferred). Its searcher-text and hand-trap density (11 searcher-text cards, 9 hand traps) gives it resilience to a single disruption, and its Extra Deck supplies high-ATK boss monsters. The score comes from the system: consistency, interaction and closing power, scored together with a structural cap. It is not an average of card scores, and Gold Pride's popularity earned no points. The deck is capped at 30 because the list is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 copies against a limit of 2. Combos, tournament data and a side deck are all absent, so the result is theoretical and structural-only with low confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit cap (0); Banlist exposure (-5); No side deck (-3). Final formula: Theoretical only. 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 53, plus modifiers -8 = 45, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (copy limit exceeded). Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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 starter-and-searcher package (archetype-core P(>=1) about 0.97)
• Multiple Extra Deck boss options with high ATK
• Strong interaction density: 9 hand traps, 14 removal-text and 10 negation-text cards

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violation (Ash Blossom run 3 of 2)
• Empty Side Deck
• Split between P.U.N.K. and Gold Pride sub-archetypes (exact-name purity 32%)
• Several tech slots (Triple Tactics Thrust, Emergency Teleport, Dark Ruler No More) with low board impact

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring and Infinite Impermanence as the sole early interaction
• S:P Little Knight as the single Limited Link boss (1 copy)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 51, Extra 14, Side 0 against OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies, legal limit 2 (Semi-Limited); S:P Little Knight: 1 copy, Limited; Extra Deck stats (e.g. Psychic End Punisher 3500 ATK, Pin Baller 3000 ATK)
• Inferred: Archetype-core P(>=1) about 0.97 (hypergeometric proxy); Interaction quality from text roles (hand traps, removal, negation); Going-first and going-second plans
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit and tournament reliability (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 absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No guides attached for the archetype Side Deck is empty, so post-side behaviour cannot be evaluated
