Phantom Beast (Chimera) Deck #767630 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Chimera Fusion plus Extra Deck Fusion monsters (Chimera the Flying Mythical Beast, Berfomet, Guardian Chimera) converting searched Beast/Fiend/Illusion starters into a large board; Link and Xyz pressure (Silhouhatte Rabbit, Accesscode Talker, Heretical Phobos Covos, Super Starslayer TY-PHON) once the Fusion line establishes a board
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Gazelle or Big-Winged Berfomet, search Chimera Fusion or a monster, then Fusion Summon through Chimera Fusion using the searched material
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Solemn Judgment and Nibiru as hand traps or negates against the opponent's first line, then rebuild with the searched Fusion starter
• Recovery: Searchers (Gazelle, Berfomet, Nightmare Apprentice, Cornfield Coatl) and Chimera Fusion recursion from the GY rebuild a new starter after a hand trap or board wipe; Lightning Storm and Super Polymerization can add a second board
• After siding: No sideboard is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt after game one

Why it scores here

The deck opens a functional Chimera line reasonably often: the 21 archetype-core copies have about a 92% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, and three searchers (Gazelle, Berfomet, Nightmare Apprentice) plus Chimera Fusion give a real two-card bootstrap. Its strongest feature is interaction on the system level, with 12 hand traps and about 79% odds of at least one in a 6-card going-second hand, which earns the going-second and interaction scores. Conversion and floor are not measured because there are no recorded boards, so ceiling and median stay near the midpoint as Inferred estimates. The score is capped low because the list is illegal: Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization are each run three times against a limit of two, and the deck has no side deck. No points were earned from popularity or meta share, and the card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-10); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 47.2, then Illegal cap via modifiers -12 → 35

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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

• Core archetype access is high, with three searchers and Chimera Fusion at 3 copies
• Dense hand-trap package gives strong going-second interaction
• Layered negation and removal across Main and Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy counts for Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Low archetype purity with many off-theme cards
• No recorded boards, so combo ceiling and floor are unverified

Critical choke points

• Chimera Fusion plus Fusion Extra Deck monsters: the main line depends on one Spell card and specific Extra Deck materials
• Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization exceed the legal copy limit, so the list cannot be played as built in OCG

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Ash Blossom and Super Polymerization each run 3 copies against a limit of 2; Card text and stats for the Chimera line and hand traps; Archetype core presence: 7 of 12 core cards in the deck
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter and hand-trap odds; Going-second interaction density; Engine coherence and brick risk from the composition
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or 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 exists in YGOVN, so going-first and going-second signals are Inferred No side deck is registered, so post-side strength cannot be assessed Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
