Code Talker Deck #767702 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link/Synchro/Xyz pressure from Cyberse and Mathmech monsters (Link-3 to Link-5 boards around 2300-3000 ATK); Hand-trap-supported grind: negate or strip the opponent's key plays, then convert the Extra Deck
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a starter (A.I. Connect, Mathmech Addition, Mulcharmy draw engines), search with Backup or Achichi, and build a Link board; hold Ash/Veiler-style hand traps for the opponent's first Summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Use a hand trap (19 in the Main Deck) on the opponent's first Summon or activation, then rebuild with Cyberse Link Summons
• Recovery: Recycle Cyberse monsters through Mathmech Multiplication, Transcode Talker and Decode Talker, and use searchers (11 searcher-text cards) to refill hand
• After siding: Not applicable: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is a multi-archetype Cyberse toolbox rather than a focused engine: only 8.6% of Main Deck copies carry the exact name 'Code Talker', and the rest are spread across Ignister, Mathmech, Mulcharmy, Solemn, A.I., Firewall and PSY-Frame. Its strongest system-level trait is interaction density: 19 hand traps and 17 negation-text cards give a going-second hand-trap hit of about 0.93 (Inferred), and the 15-card Extra Deck offers 10 Link monsters for pressure. Consistency is middling: the archetype-core group reaches at least one copy in a 5-card opening about 87% of the time (Inferred), but there are no recorded boards, so the floor, median and ceiling of combo output cannot be measured and remain text-only inference. The deck has no side deck, which caps adaptability, and the list is Illegal because it runs three copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a legal limit of two; the score is therefore capped and labelled theoretical/structural-only. Popularity was not credited, and no card scores were averaged into this result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-3); no_side_deck (-2); engine_conflicts (-2). Final formula: Illegal list: theoretical/structural-only. Uncapped no-meta estimate = 0.80*55 + 0.20*48 - 7 ≈ 47; capped at 30 because the deck fails the Ash Blossom copy limit.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.87 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.13 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• 19 hand traps and 17 negation-text cards give strong going-second interaction
• Several Link-3 to Link-5 threats and a 15-card Extra Deck with redundant Link routes
• 11 searchers and Mulcharmy draw effects help recover cards across turns

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over its Semi-Limited copy limit
• Very low exact-archetype purity (8.6%) means engine conflicts across sub-archetypes
• No side deck and no recorded boards, so both post-side and combo output are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Exact-name Cyberse Link Summons depend on a Cyberse monster already being on the field
• Most of the interaction runs through hand traps, so a board with no monsters leaves the deck with few live answers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 are within size rules for OCG; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 2 (Illegal); Exact-name archetype purity is 8.6% (6 of 70); Copy histogram: 20 singles, 4 pairs, 9 triples
• Inferred: Hand-trap hit rate of ≈0.93 going second; Archetype-core opening probability ≈0.87; Interaction-density and endboard reads from card text
• Provisional: Format fit (D13) without a dated meta sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for this deck: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck has no side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed
