Performapal Deck #768241 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Odd-Eyes Extra Deck bosses (Odd-Eyes Arcray Dragon 4000 ATK, Supreme King Z-ARC 4000 ATK, Odd-Eyes Absolute Dragon 2800 ATK) enabled by Pendulum Zone plays; Link and Xyz pressure (Odd-Eyes Override Dragon, Accesscode Talker, Odd-Eyes Rebellion Xyz Dragon) through Pendulum searchers
• Turn 1 (going first): Pendulum Summon from the Extra Deck via Performapal/Odd-Eyes Pendulum monsters, searching the next Pendulum or Odd-Eyes piece, then extend into a Link or Xyz boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to present Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence or Droll & Lock Bird against the opponent's first engine, then rebuild through the Pendulum searchers
• Recovery: Pendulum Monsters in the Pendulum Zone are rebuilt via searcher effects (Performapal Monkeyboard, Performapal Skullcrobat Joker, Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon) and Mulcharmy draw effects
• After siding: Not evaluable: the list has no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck's 14 dimensions were scored on the system: a Pendulum-based Performapal/Odd-Eyes shell with 23 searcher-text cards, 13 core-archetype copies (about 88% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand, Inferred), and 15 Extra Deck slots that carry the big bosses. Interaction is real but thin: 6 hand traps and about 18 negation-text and 17 removal-text cards give layered answers, but Ash Blossom is run at 3 copies, which breaks the OCG limit and caps the legality outcome. The deck has no recorded boards, no tournament link, no guides and no Side Deck, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and the Side Deck and matchup dimensions are scored low or provisional. Popularity of the archetype did not earn points, and no card scores were averaged. Because the list is Illegal, the result is a structural-only read capped at 35 rather than a normal Final score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56.3, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); No Side Deck (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(56.3) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(55) = 55.8; context modifiers -12 gives 43.8; Illegal cap applied, final set to 35 (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher text (23 cards) gives near-certain access to the engine
• Layered interaction: 6 hand traps plus negation and removal text
• Extra Deck at the 15-card maximum with multiple boss routes, including 4000-ATK bosses

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom run at 3 copies against a limit of 2
• Only 10.9% exact-name archetype purity; 49 off-archetype copies from Magician, Mulcharmy and Odd-Eyes sub-lines
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone activation: most lines require Pendulum Summon, so a clean Pendulum Scale is a single choke point
• Ash Blossom over-limit: removing one copy is required before any normal score can be issued

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main Deck 40, Extra Deck 15, Side 0 (OCG size rules met); Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies vs Semi-Limited limit of 2 (over-limit violation); Droll & Lock Bird, Heavymetalfoes Electrumite and S:P Little Knight each run at 1 copy, within Limited
• Inferred: Core-archetype opening-hand access 0.88 from hypergeometric draw odds; Brick proxy 0.12 for no core card in a 5-card hand; Going-second hand-trap probability 0.65 for at least one of six cards; Dimension scores D1-D11 and D14 from text and composition only
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; D13 matchup and format fit scored from no tournament data; Going-first and going-second splits estimated without recorded boards
• 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; going-first, going-second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck; post-side plan not evaluable no guides attached to the archetype
