Virtual World Deck #768033 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro pressure from the Extra Deck: Psychic End Punisher, Virtual World Kyubi - Shenshen, Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Amazing Dragon and P.U.N.K. JAM Dragon Drive; Xyz and Fusion follow-ups (Wollow, Evolzar Lars, Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Rising Carp) when the Synchro line is interrupted
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Virtual World Lulu, Jiji or Ze Amin to start hand-trigger and Tuner chains, then Synchro into a 2800-3500 ATK boss while holding Ghost Ogre or Droll for interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ghost Ogre and Droll as hand traps to break the opponent's first turn, then rebuild through Virtual World hand effects and the Gate spells
• Recovery: Recur Virtual World monsters from the GY through the Gate spells and Hime/Roshi revival effects, and use P.U.N.K. Tuners to re-enter Synchro
• After siding: No side deck is present, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the list has no sideboard adaptation

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan: the 16 core Virtual World and P.U.N.K. copies give about a 93.5% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the searcher and hand-effect density (74% for at least one searcher in hand) keeps the Synchro engine reachable on turn 1 or 2. Conversion is strong on paper because the Extra Deck holds several 2800-3500 ATK boss Synchros, but no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling is text-based and not observed. Interaction is layered across hand traps (Ghost Ogre x3, Droll x1), negation spells and traps, and Kyubi's removal text, which earns a good endboard score, while the absence of any side deck caps the score. Popularity and archetype usage were not counted as power, and the score did not come from averaging individual card scores; it reflects the system's consistency, interaction, and closing power after the dual-archetype split and the missing side deck are accounted for.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 62.7, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: engine split between Virtual World and P.U.N.K. (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional; D13 dropped, weights renormalized over 95): 0.80*62.7 + 0.20*58 - 2 = 59.8 ≈ 60

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.94 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.06 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Core engine present in about 93.5% of 5-card hands (Inferred)
• Multiple independent starters and Gate recursion
• Layered interaction from hand traps and negation
• Strong Synchro bosses in the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• No side deck (side_count 0) for best-of-3 adaptation
• Two sub-archetypes split the engine (40% exact-name purity)
• No recorded boards, so combo floor and median are unobserved
• LP-cost effects add resource pressure

Critical choke points

• Dependence on Virtual World hand effects needing another Virtual World monster on field
• Single copy of Droll & Lock Bird (Limited) as the only card-level floodgate-style hand trap

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in OCG: Droll & Lock Bird at 1 copy (Limited, legal 1), main 40, extra 15, side 0; Core usage: 7 of 7 core cards present (100%); Extra Deck composition: 11 Synchro, 3 Xyz, 1 Fusion
• Inferred: P(≥1 core in hand5) ≈ 0.935 from the hypergeometric table; Interaction density and resilience from card text; Ceiling from Synchro boss stats and hand-trigger text
• Provisional: Meta power and matchup fit (no tournament link or dated sample); Floor and median combo output (no recorded boards)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck present, so post-side behaviour cannot be evaluated
