P.U.N.K. Deck #768032 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 50/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon a boss (Psychic End Punisher, Virtual World Kyubi - Shenshen, Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Amazing Dragon, Virtual World Beast - Jiujiu) from tuner and non-tuner monsters; Fusion or Xyz pressure (Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Rising Carp, Evolzar Lars, Wollow) and P.U.N.K. recursion through Joruri, Foxy Tune and Deer Note
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Tuner search or summon (Noh-P.U.N.K. Ze Amin, Virtual World Mai-Hime - Lulu, Virtual World Xiezhi - Jiji) into a Synchro or Extra Deck summon
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit or Droll & Lock Bird to stop the opponent's first play, then Synchro Summon through the revealed tuner
• Recovery: Recover from the GY through Virtual World revival effects (Hime - Nyannyan, Roshi - Laolao, Kirin - Lili) and Gate-based searches from the Deck
• After siding: None: the deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Tuner-based starter: 14 Tuner monsters in the Main Deck, with Ze Amin and Lulu each at 3 copies, give P(>=1 Ze Amin in a 5-card opening) of about 0.34, and P(>=1 of the 9 searcher-text cards in a 5-card opening) of about 0.74 (Inferred). Conversion is scored from the Extra Deck bosses (Synchro 2400 to 3500 ATK), but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling is text-only (Inferred). Survival comes from two engines (Virtual World and P.U.N.K.) that give some route redundancy, plus 4 hand traps and about 7 interaction cards, though Ghost Ogre and Droll are the only hand traps. The deck has no side deck, so D12 is very low and there is no post-side plan. Popularity earned no points: the P.U.N.K. label covers only 29.1% of copies, and the score comes from the system's consistency, median output and interaction, not from averaging the card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53.5, Going First ≈ 49, Going Second ≈ 53, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: engine conflict across two archetypes (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Searcher density (9 searcher-text cards) gives a 0.74 chance of a searcher in a 5-card opening
• Two-engine redundancy: Virtual World GY revival and P.U.N.K. LP-cost searches give alternate routes
• Layered interaction: 4 hand traps, Chuche, Xuanwu, Gabu, Qinglong and Teleport
• Extra Deck is fully used with several 2400+ ATK Synchro bosses

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side plan and no answer to a metagame shift
• Only 29.1% of copies are the labelled P.U.N.K. archetype; the deck is a hybrid with a misleading archetype tag
• 14 Tuners and 10 singletons increase brick and redundancy risk
• Only 2 real hand traps (Ghost Ogre 3, Droll 1); the going-second floor depends on them

Critical choke points

• Ze Amin and Lulu (3 copies each) carry the tuner-and-search start; missing both removes most of the T1 plan
• Droll is Limited at 1 copy and is the only Limited card; its loss removes one hand trap

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 40 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Legal under the OCG ban list; Droll and Lock Bird is Limited at 1 copy and is run at 1 copy; Copy histogram: 8 cards at 3 copies, 3 at 2, 10 singletons; Extra Deck: 11 Synchro, 3 Xyz, 1 Fusion; P(>=1 hand trap in 6 going second) = 0.49 from the hypergeometric table
• Observed: Archetype exact-name purity 29.1%; Virtual World 22 copies, P.U.N.K. 16 copies
• Inferred: Starter and searcher access from hypergeometric estimates; Ceiling and median output from card text only (no combos); Interaction density and going-second strength from card text; Brick risk from 14 Tuners and 10 singletons
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame or tournament data); Tournament reliability
• 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 (going first or second, matchup, brick or starter rate) Usage statistics mark Psychic End Punisher, P.U.N.K. JAM Dragon Drive and Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Rising Carp as not in this deck (in_this_deck false), but all three appear in the Extra Deck card list; core_present_pct (64.7) is therefore understated and the Extra-Deck counting in usage stats should be checked Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
