Unchained Deck #767289 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 22/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fiendsmith and Yubel board pressure converted through Fusion/Link Extra Deck monsters (Fiendsmith's Lacrima, Phantom of Yubel, Luce the Dusk's Dark) once the Yubel and Fiend engines are live; Hand-trap and removal disruption (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched) protecting a single engine monster
• Turn 1 (going first): Search a LIGHT Fiend with Fiendsmith Engraver or Tract, bridge to Fiendsmith monsters, and build a Link/Fusion board; the deck has no combo data to confirm exact lines
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Droll & Lock Bird to interrupt the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Yubel or Unchained monsters
• Recovery: Recover via Spirit of Yubel, Nightmare Throne and Unchained Soul Lord of Yama from GY/Deck; recursion is text-only, not verified by recorded boards
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no side deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The deck's searcher density (20 searcher-text cards, P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opener) ≈ 0.91) makes a starter reachable on most openings, which keeps D1 respectable. Interaction is the deck's strongest system: eight hand traps and multiple negate and removal cards give layered disruption, though the three-copy Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization slots are illegal in OCG. Output is weak on the evidence we have: there are no recorded boards, so the combo floor and ceiling are text-only inferences and score low. Brick risk is real, with 19 single-copy cards, several Level 0 spells, and dead-on-opening tech such as Foolish Burial and Terraforming. Popularity was not rewarded: the Unchained archetype core is only 33% present (5 of 15), and archetype share does not add points. The deck is not scored as an average of its card powers, and the illegal copy counts cap the final score low.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Balanced default used; Toolbox primary with interaction-heavy secondary, weights not re-tuned. Structural ≈ 47, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Illegal copy limits) (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then Illegal cap applied; banlist exposure modifier −12 within range

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

• Searcher density (20 cards) makes a starter reachable on most openings
• Layered interaction: 8 hand traps plus negate and removal text
• Extra Deck flexibility across Fusion and Link with Fiendsmith and Yubel access

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: four cards exceed the copy limit
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Brick-prone: 19 single-copy cards, Level 0 spells and dead-on-opening tech
• Only 33% of the Unchained core is present

Critical choke points

• Dependence on Fiendsmith Engraver and Fiendsmith's Tract, both over the copy limit
• Yubel engine relies on Yubel - Terror Incarnate (single copy)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0; OCG size rules satisfied; Four copy-limit violations under the OCG BanList; Archetype searcher and hand-trap counts from card text; Archetype core present 5 of 15 (33.3%)
• Inferred: Starter reachability ≈ 0.91 from hypergeometric searcher draw odds; Brick and dead-draw risk from single-copy and Level 0 spell count; Interaction breadth from hand-trap and negation text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no 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 — consistency and matchup signals are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck — post-side plan cannot be evaluated
