Scrap Deck #768356 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 34/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Ancient Gear Golem fusion and Xyz boss monsters (Chaos Ancient Gear Giant, Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket) attacking through a field protected by Ancient Gear Golem's no-Spell/Trap-activation clause; Superdimensional Robot Galaxy Destroyer and Time Thief Redoer as Xyz boards that break the opponent's backrow
• Turn 1 (going first): Search Ancient Gear monsters with Ancient Gear Wyvern, Ancient Gear Frame or Ancient Gear Dark Golem, then Ancient Gear Golem and a Fusion for a 3000-ATK board; unverified without combo data
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched) to slow the opponent, then Eldlich or Train revival lines to rebuild the board
• Recovery: Graveyard-triggered Ancient Gear Tanker, Ancient Gear Commander and Geartown special summons, plus Eldlich GY recursion
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0)

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its strongest feature is access: 21 searcher-text cards give about 0.93 odds of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and the 8-copy Ancient Gear core has about 0.57 odds of at least one piece in hand. Its ceiling is high because the Extra Deck holds several 4500-5000 ATK boss monsters and Ancient Gear Golem makes the board hard to answer with Spells and Traps. The median is weaker: 39 different main-deck cards with 27 single copies, 70 off-archetype copies across Ancient Gear, Eldlich, Train and others, and no Side Deck, so the engines conflict and the opening hand is often a brick. Popularity and archetype share were not used to earn points, and there is no tournament or meta data. The score is capped low because the Extra Deck has 16 cards against an OCG maximum of 15.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 45.4, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 38, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: illegal extra deck size (-10). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then -10 illegal-size modifier; illegal decks are capped low and this result is theoretical/structural only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.57 · 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

• Dense searcher text (21 cards) gives strong access to the engine
• Boss monsters at 4400 to 5000 ATK with no-activation and piercing clauses
• Broad interaction: removal, negation and hand-trap text across Main Deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: Extra Deck has 16 cards, above the OCG maximum of 15
• Mixed archetypes (Ancient Gear, Eldlich, Train, Golden Land, Gizmek and others) with 0 percent exact purity
• No Side Deck, so there is no post-side adaptation
• Many single-copy cards make the opening hand inconsistent

Critical choke points

• Ancient Gear Golem access depends on Ancient Gear Dark Golem, Ancient Gear Frame and Ancient Gear Wyvern searches
• Fusion and Xyz summons depend on a small number of Extra Deck materials
• Backrow protection from Ancient Gear Golem and Ancient Gear Duel does not stop monster-effect interaction

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Deck is Illegal: Extra Deck 16 > 15 for OCG; Main Deck 54 cards, all copy limits respected (Limited and Semi-Limited cards run at 1 copy); 21 searcher-text, 19 removal-text, 6 negation-text, 4 hand-trap cards; 70 off-archetype copies, 0 percent exact archetype purity; No Side Deck (0 cards)
• Inferred: Searcher access about 0.93 in a 5-card opening hand (hypergeometric); Ancient Gear core about 0.57 in hand of 5; Ceiling from card text (Ancient Gear Golem, Chaos Ancient Gear Giant, Gustav Rocket); Interaction breadth from text, not measured; Brick risk from single-copy density
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit: no tournament or meta data
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta power is provisional without a dated metagame sample deck title is null
