Hecahands Deck #767580 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Hecahands Fusion Monsters (Xeno, Dandalos, Jauzah) recovered through Mankibuel/Ibtel/Godos/Gaigas searches, backed by Fiendsmith and Kashtira follow-ups; Fiendsmith's Rextremende and Lacrima boards, with Chaos Angel and Photon Strike Bounzer as Extra-Deck finishers
• Turn 1 (going first): Reveal a Hecahands monster to search or Special Summon, use Fusion or Link monsters for board, and keep Ash Blossom and Solemn Warning up against opposing Summons and activations
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Droll & Lock Bird, Ash Blossom, Solemn effects and Yad'al/Ib'al-Hecahands to stop the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through Hecahands revive effects
• Recovery: Hecahands Gaigas, Godos and Ibtel revive or re-search through once-per-turn effects, and Fiendsmith GY recursion (Lacrima, Requiem) restores a board after interaction
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has zero Side Deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This is an illegal list, so the score is a structural read capped low and does not represent a playable Final Contextual score. The main deck has enough searchers (16 text hits, about 85% chance of at least one in a 5-card hand) and a Hecahands core that is 62% likely to appear in an opening hand, which supports the consistency and resilience dimensions. Interaction is dense (7 hand traps, 9 negation-text cards, Ash Blossom, Solemn, Droll, and Yad'al/Ib'al), which lifts the end-board score. Offensive closing is strong on paper (Xeno 3400, Chaos Angel 3500, Rextremende 3000), but no recorded boards exist, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inferences. The deck earns no points for the Hecahands archetype's popularity or from averaging card scores, and the Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir plus 3-copy Limited and Semi-Limited staples are heavy negatives in the modifiers.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary (≈80%), Combo secondary (≈20%) for the structural read. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10); illegal-list cap (0). Final formula: Illegal list: normal formula 0.80*Structural(58) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) = 55.4, plus modifiers -10 = 45.4, then capped at 30 for an Illegal list (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.38 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher and recursion text (16 searchers, Hecahands revive effects), giving high starter access
• Strong interaction suite: 7 hand traps, 9 negation-text cards, and Yad'al/Ib'al-Hecahands
• High-ATK Extra Deck finishers (Xeno 3400, Chaos Angel 3500, Rextremende 3000)

Weaknesses

• Illegal: copy-limit violations on 7 card entries and Extra Deck size 17 > 15
• Forbidden Kashtira Fenrir run at 2 copies
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan
• 27% exact-name purity; three sub-archetypes compete for slots

Critical choke points

• Any Hecahands monster in hand is required for most Hecahands lines; the core is only 62% likely in a 5-card hand
• The Limited and Semi-Limited staples (Engraver, Solemn, Ash) cap how many copies can legally run

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status and violation list (copy limits, Forbidden Fenrir, Extra Deck size 17); Main 53 / Extra 17 / Side 0 counts; Card text for key hand traps and searchers
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, brick, and hand-trap probabilities; Structural dimension scores D1-D14; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample); Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median, and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot records are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchups, or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so post-side scoring is not assessable
