Rokket Deck #768253 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Synchro boss monsters (Borreload Dragon, Borrelend Dragon, Borrelshroud Dragon, Borreload Liberator Dragon) that are Extra Deck-only and need Rokket/Borrel monsters on the field to summon; Recursion and Fusion/Xyz follow-ups from the Graveyard, through Rokket Tracer, Rokket Loader, Absorouter Dragon and Borrel Regenerator
• Turn 1 (going first): Search and summon a Rokket engine monster with Rokket Loader, Rokket Tracer or Quick Launch, then build a Link monster from the Extra Deck (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C", Red Reboot, Solemn Judgment) to break the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild the engine from the Graveyard (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover through Rokket Recharger, Absorouter Dragon's GY effect and Borrel Regenerator's draw, which return Rokket monsters to the Graveyard and Deck (Inferred)
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG as submitted: Striker Dragon is run two copies against a limit of one, Borreload Savage Dragon is a Forbidden card, and the Extra Deck holds 19 cards against a 15-card maximum, so the score is a theoretical, structural-only read capped at 35 rather than a normal contextual score. Structurally, the Rokket core is well supported: the archetype core group has about a 96% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand, and seven searcher-text cards add redundancy, which earns the engine-access and resilience dimensions a moderate score. Interaction density is strong, with five hand traps and about 13 negation-text cards (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C", Red Reboot, Solemn Judgment, Dominus Impulse), which supports the end-board and going-second scores. Efficiency is weaker: 16 generic cards and only about 36% exact-archetype purity dilute the main deck, the Extra Deck overflows, and there is no Side Deck. Combo ceiling and median output are both Inferred from card text alone because no recorded boards exist, and popularity or usage statistics did not add points; the score comes from the system as a whole, not from averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53.7, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); extra_deck_overflow (-4). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 52.0 before modifiers; modifiers total -10 → 42; illegal-deck cap applied → 35 (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core is highly accessible (about 96% to have one in a 5-card opening hand)
• Dense negation and hand-trap package (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C", Red Reboot, Solemn Judgment, Dominus Impulse)
• Strong Link-4 and Link-5 boss monsters in the Extra Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: copy limit exceeded for Striker Dragon, Forbidden Borreload Savage Dragon present, Extra Deck over 15
• Low archetype purity (35.7%) with 16 generic cards diluting the engine
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan and no matchup adjustment

Critical choke points

• Striker Dragon and Borreload Savage Dragon must be removed before the deck is legal
• The Rokket starter density depends on Rokket Loader and Rokket Tracer, which are one-card starters with no redundancy beyond their copies

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Striker Dragon copy limit exceeded, Borreload Savage Dragon Forbidden, Extra Deck 19 > 15; Archetype core group in hand probability ≈ 0.96; Card stats and text for the Extra Deck bosses
• Inferred: Engine accessibility and brick estimate from hypergeometric probabilities; Interaction quality from negation and hand-trap role tags; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup fit and side deck adaptability
• 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 No Side Deck registered Deck title is null Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
