Shark Deck #767727 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz pressure from the Shark/Number and Xyz Extra Deck (Number 32: Shark Drake, Number C32: Shark Drake LeVeiss, Full Armored Dark Knight Lancer) built from Level 4 and Level 5 WATER/Fish bodies such as Buzzsaw Shark, Surfacing Big Jaws and Mulcharmy Purulia.; Card-advantage grind through the Mulcharmy draw effects and Number 101 / Stealth Kragen board pressure.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on a Level 4 WATER starter and a Shark/Mulcharmy body, then build a 2-monster Xyz; protect with Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre and Unbreakable Xyz Barrier.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Droll and Ghost Ogre to interrupt the opponent's first board, then Xyz through it. Requires the opponent to commit a monster first.
• Recovery: Mulcharmy draw bodies and Seventh Ascension / Seventh Tachyon searches rebuild the hand; Xyz materials can be recycled through Full-Armored Xyz.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists in this list.

Why it scores here

The list is illegal in OCG: Bahamut Shark (2 copies) and Barrier Statue of the Torrent (1 copy) are Forbidden, so the deck cannot be played as built and receives only a capped, theoretical structural read. Structurally the system leans on a Level 4 WATER/Fish starter set (Buzzsaw Shark, Surfacing Big Jaws, Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia) that feeds Xyz and Number Extra Deck bodies, with 10 searcher-text and 8 hand-trap cards giving it interaction and recovery. Consistency is moderate: the 3-copy starters give roughly a 25% chance of one in a 5-card opener (Inferred, hypergeometric), so the deck relies on draw and search redundancy rather than a single reliable starter. Combo ceiling and median are not measurable here because no combos were supplied, so those scores are text-only inference. Popularity and archetype usage stats confirm the core is real but do not raise the score, and the score is not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (no separate weight set applied). Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12); illegal cap (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(50) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + Modifiers(-12) = 37, capped to 25; theoretical/structural-only, no normal Final Contextual score

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Compact WATER/Fish starter set with redundant Mulcharmy draw bodies
• Broad interaction suite: 8 hand traps and 19 removal-text cards
• Two Xyz Extra Deck engines (Number and Shark) with several boss options

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden cards (Bahamut Shark x2, Barrier Statue x1)
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Limited/Semi-Limited density (Droll, Maxx C, Red Reboot, Ash Blossom x2, Dominus Impulse x2, Super Polymerization x2) makes the list fragile to rulings and banlist changes

Critical choke points

• Forbidden cards are in the list, so any legal build must remove them before it can be evaluated normally
• Starter access depends on Level 4 WATER bodies; a single-copy Xyz route without starters stalls

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal, Bahamut Shark x2 and Barrier Statue x1 are Forbidden in OCG; Main 55 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; Side 0 is within the 0-15 limit; Card text and banlist status for all listed cards are from the evidence pack
• Observed: Archetype usage: Surfacing Big Jaws and Seventh Ascension at 100%/75% inclusion (usage_statistics)
• Inferred: Consistency from hypergeometric draw odds (25% for a 3-copy starter in hand5); Interaction quality from text tags rather than measured board outcomes; Structural and going-first/second values from the rubric weights
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup/format fit (D13) with no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so 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 in YGOVN (going first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Deck title is null and no side deck is registered Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
