Evol Deck #767310 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck beaters from the GMX Dinosaur fusion line (GMX - COMPREX 3700 ATK, GMX - VELOX, GMX - ALLOS) and Dinosaur synchro/xyz pressure (Jurrac Meteor, Jurrac Astero, Evolzar Dolkka), with Ultimate Conductor Tyranno and Dogoran as high-ATK finishers.; Board-control finishes: Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster and Worldsea Dragon Zealantis can wipe the opponent's S/T or monsters and convert the cleared board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Normal Summon an engine starter (GMX Researcher Selande, Returned Dino Daneen or Souleating Oviraptor), search a GMX piece or Dinosaur with the Dinosaur/GMX searchers, then go to GMX Applied Experiment #55 or GMX 55th Experiment Report to Fusion Summon a GMX Fusion Monster. Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Infinite Impermanence for opposing interaction.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Droll & Lock Bird) on the opponent's first search or summon, then rebuild through the same searchers and Fusion/Synchro lines to reach a 3000+ ATK monster.
• Recovery: Recover from a broken first attempt by re-searching with Fossil Dig, Evolved Daneen or GMX Chairman Kimridge, and by recycling Dinosaurs through the GY (Miscellaneousaurus, Jurrac Megalo, Mulcharmy Purulia draws). Recursion of GMX and Dinosaur monsters is the main restart.
• After siding: Not available: the deck has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan and no way to adapt between games in a best-of-3.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its GMX/Dinosaur engine: the 26-copy archetype core gives about 0.97 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric estimate), so the engine is accessible on turn 1 more often than not. Its interaction is deep, with 16 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards, and Solemn Judgment plus Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster for the rest, which earns the strongest dimension (D7). Its closing power comes from several 3000+ ATK monsters and fusions, not from averaging card scores. Points are not given for popularity: the Evol label is a loose umbrella, the exact-name archetype purity is 0%, and no tournament share, combos, or guides exist. The score is capped low because the list is illegal (Ash Blossom over its Semi-Limited limit) and has no Side Deck, so this is a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Stun secondary used for the interaction-heavy mix (approx. 80/20 structural blend). Structural is computed on the Midrange profile only.. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-3); no side deck (-2); hand-trap dead-draw burden (-2). Final formula: Structural 57.3 (Midrange weights) -> no-meta blend 0.80*57.3 + 0.20*48 = 55.4; context modifiers -7 gives 48.4; Illegal-list cap applied, final 30 (theoretical, structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Large archetype core (26 copies) with several searchers gives high starter access on the opening hand
• Deep interaction: 16 hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Lightning Storm and Harpie's Feather Duster cover the board and the spell/trap zone
• Multiple 3000+ ATK finishers across Fusion, Synchro and Xyz routes give reach beyond a single line

Weaknesses

• Illegal as listed: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 times against a 2-copy Semi-Limited limit
• No Side Deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan in best-of-3
• Hand-trap heavy build with many board-dependent cards is prone to dead draws when going first
• Exact-name archetype purity is 0%; the deck is a mixed GMX/Dinosaur/Mulcharmy/Jurrac/Evolzar/Forbidden/Solemn build without a clear single engine identity

Critical choke points

• Fusion Summon routes depend on GMX Applied Experiment #55 and GMX 55th Experiment Report with the correct Dinosaur material; without them the Extra Deck fusions are dead
• Evolved Daneen and Returned Dino Daneen are the main searchers into the GMX line, so losing them to hand traps stalls the engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run 3 copies with legal copies 2 (Semi-Limited), an over-limit violation; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; Side 0 is allowed (0-15); Seven cards are Limited at one copy each and are legal as run; Extra Deck breakdown: synchro 4, xyz 3, fusion 4, link 4; Archetype purity exact-name 0%; core group 26 copies; 12 of 13 usage-core cards present (Evolzar Lars missing)
• Inferred: P(at least one core card in opening hand) ≈ 0.97 gives high starter access (D1); Hand-trap dead-draw and brick risk on going first (D2); Interaction depth from 16 hand traps and 14 negation texts (D7); Ceiling and median output from text only; no boards recorded (D3, D4)
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample exists; Matchup and format fit (D13) is a placeholder with 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or starter/brick rates Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample No guides attached for the archetype (guides_evidence total 0) Title is null; deck identity is taken from the archetype label Evol and card composition
