Performapal Deck #767452 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 59/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 47 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-summoned or Extra Deck closers: Supreme King Z-ARC (4000 ATK), Odd-Eyes Arcray Dragon (4000 ATK), Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon (2800 ATK, Xyz); Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon (3000), Chaos Angel (3500), and link boards from Odd-Eyes Override Dragon and Exceed the Pendulum
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Performapal Skullcrobat Joker to search, set a scale-1 and scale-8 Pendulum pair, then Pendulum Summon Extra Deck bosses
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Droll & Lock Bird) and the Odd-Eyes Override or Absolute negations to slow the opponent, then rebuild the Pendulum Zone through searchers
• Recovery: Recurse Pendulum monsters from the GY with Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon, Performapal Gentrude and Odd-Eyes Seer, and re-pair scales
• After siding: None: side count is 0, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens into a Pendulum engine: 24 searcher-text cards give roughly a 0.98 chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5, and the main deck carries 12 scale-1 and 9 scale-8 Pendulum monsters that pair with each other. Its interaction package (3 hand traps, negation text on 18 cards, and a Z-ARC effect that locks opposing Extra Deck effects) earns most of its points on the endboard and on recovery across turns. Conversion is credited from card text and the 4000-ATK Extra Deck closers, not from recorded boards, because the evidence contains no parseable combos. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points: the core is only partly present, and no tournament or win-rate data exists. The score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience on the system, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 0.7*Midrange + 0.3*Combo. Structural ≈ 64.6, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 53. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-2); engine conflict (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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

• Legal at 47 Main / 15 Extra with all five restricted cards at or below legal copies
• Dense searcher suite (24 cards) with near-certain access to a searcher in an opening 5
• Layered interaction: 3 hand traps, negation text on 18 cards and Z-ARC locking opposing Extra Deck effects
• Extra Deck offers 4000-ATK closers plus Xyz and link redundancy

Weaknesses

• No side deck (side 0), so there is no post-side plan and D12 is weak
• Mulcharmy x6 is gated by an empty field, which conflicts with a Pendulum Zone that is usually occupied
• Several single-copy non-engine spells and three Soul of the Supreme traps dilute the engine
• Pendulum scale pairing needs a matching scale-1 and scale-8 pair, so some hands bricks
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median are text-based inference only

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone pairing (scale 1 with 8, 12, or 2) is needed to Pendulum Summon the Extra Deck bosses
• Going second, at least one of 3 hand traps in a 6-card hand is about 0.34
• Z-ARC and Arcray need a Pendulum Summon, so a hand without a pair leaves the closers dead

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Legal at 47/15/0 with no violations; Restricted copies at or below legal limits for all five restricted cards; Composition counts (type, attribute, Extra-Deck breakdown, copy histogram)
• Observed: Usage statistics show the archetype core (inclusion rates) for this deck family
• Inferred: Searcher and Pendulum-pairing consistency estimates from hypergeometric draws and text roles; Interaction density and resilience reads from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta power (null) and matchup fit (D13 held neutral): 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 per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick or starter rates) Meta power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Usage statistics mark Extra-Deck cards as in this deck false (e.g. Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon, Exceed the Pendulum, S:P Little Knight), though they appear in the Extra list; core-card presence 35.7 is understated and the correct count is 13 of 14 with only Supreme King Gate Zero absent. The exporter should be checked No side deck, so no post-side evidence Deck title is null; the archetype label Performapal does not reflect the Odd-Eyes, Magician and Mulcharmy mix (exact-name purity 9.7%)
