Firewall Deck #767703 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 38/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Multi-engine boards: Ignister, Mathmech and Code Talker Link/Synchro/Xyz summons converting into 2000 to 3000 ATK boss monsters, with a Firewall Link-5 closer; Hand-trap and negation-driven disruption that stalls the opponent while the Extra Deck boards are built
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Backup, Achichi, Cynet Mining or A.I. Connect) to reach an Ignister or Mathmech starter, then link or synchro into a boss; hold hand traps for the opponent's first answer
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 19 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Effect Veiler, Nibiru, Droll and Lock Bird) to negate the opponent's starter, then rebuild from the hand
• Recovery: Recur Link-3 or lower Cyberse monsters from the GY through Transcode Talker and Decode Talker Heatsoul style effects, and use the 11 searchers to refill
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

This list is scored as a system and is capped low because it is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so the normal Final Contextual score is theoretical only. Its consistency comes from a dense archetype-core group (18 copies, about 0.87 chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand) and 11 searchers, but the 33 distinct Main Deck cards span at least five sub-engines (Ignister, Mathmech, Code Talker, Mulcharmy and PSY-Frame), with only 2 exact-name Firewall cards and 68 off-archetype copies, which raises brick and conflict risk. Interaction is the strongest area, with 17 negation-text and 16 removal-text cards and 19 hand traps giving about 0.93 chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand. No combo boards, tournament record, guides or Side Deck were supplied, so floor, median, ceiling and post-side scores are Inferred and carry wide bands. Popularity and archetype usage did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged into this result.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal copy-limit violation (-10); Engine conflicts and archetype dilution (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(52) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 49.6, plus context modifiers (-12) = 37.6, rounded to 38; Meta Power provisional and excluded; theoretical/structural-only

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

• Dense archetype-core group (18 copies) gives high starter access
• Strong interaction density with 19 hand traps and 33 negation or removal texts
• Searcher density (11) supports resource refill
• Legal Limited and Semi-Limited copy counts except the Ash Blossom overage

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Five sub-archetypes dilute engine coherence (2.9 percent exact-name purity)
• No parseable combo boards, so conversion and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Legality: the list must drop one Ash Blossom copy before it can be played
• Starter access depends on the Ignister and Mathmech searchers, which are spread thin across sub-archetypes

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 55 cards, Extra Deck 15 cards, both inside size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies, legal limit 2 (over copy limit); Limited cards (Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, Mathmech Circular, PSY-Framegear Gamma, Solemn Judgment) each at 1 copy; Composition, archetype purity and role-tag counts
• Inferred: Starter access from the hypergeometric archetype-core estimate; Interaction quality from negation and removal text; Brick risk from the level-0 spell and trap count and tech density; Going-second hand-trap density (about 0.93)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit (no tournament link)
• 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 record are absent no Side Deck, so post-side adaptability is unmeasured no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null, so the deck is identified only by its archetype and id
