Borrel Deck #768424 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-5 3500 ATK bosses Borrelshroud Dragon and Borrelend Dragon, backed by Borreload Fatalflare Dragon, after a Rokket Link-chain board.; Rokket Barrage / Absorouter / Rokket Detonator recursion into repeated Link summons; Borreload Savage Dragon was the intended extra beater but is Forbidden.
• Turn 1 (going first): Quick Launch or Rokket Loader for a Rokket monster, then Rokket Tracer or Rokket Caliber into a Link-2/3 route to reach a 3500 ATK boss. Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence protect the first Link.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird and Dominus Impulse against the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Absorouter and Rokket Detonator.
• Recovery: Absorouter Dragon adds a Rokket monster from the Deck when it reaches the GY, and Rokket Detonator and Borreload-style recursion reload the Link route.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the list has no side deck, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Rokket starter: the archetype core group has an estimated 0.987 chance of at least one card in the opening five, and three-copy Quick Launch, Rokket Loader and Rokket Tracer provide redundant entry points. Interaction is the system's strongest trait, with six hand traps (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Dominus Impulse and Borrel Reboot) giving roughly a 0.65 chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second six-card hand. Conversion to a win rests on Link-5 3500 ATK bosses, but there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-based inferences and remain uncertain. The score comes from consistency, interaction and continuation on the system, not from Borrel's popularity or from averaging card scores. Because the list is illegal (a Forbidden card and a Limited card over its copy limit), the score is capped at 30 and the evaluation is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 62, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-10). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*56 + 0.20*50 ≈ 55; minus 10 banlist exposure = 45; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.99 · 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

• Rokket starter redundancy: three-copy Quick Launch, Rokket Loader and Rokket Tracer
• Six hand traps and about 22 removal or negation text hits give strong interaction density
• Link-5 boss monsters with negation and cannot-be-destroyed text

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Forbidden Borreload Savage Dragon and Striker Dragon over the copy limit
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• No recorded boards, so ceiling and floor are unverified

Critical choke points

• Rokket monsters are needed for most Link routes, so losing the Rokket starters breaks the boss route
• Borreload Savage Dragon is not legal in OCG, and Striker Dragon is limited to one copy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Borreload Savage Dragon Forbidden (1 copy run), Striker Dragon Limited (2 copies run, limit 1); Main 40 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; side 0 is legal; Card text and stats for all listed cards; Composition counts and copy histogram
• Observed: Archetype usage statistics: Rokket and Borrel core cards at 90 to 100 percent inclusion
• Inferred: Starter consistency from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction quality from text roles; Going-second hand-trap value
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability (no win-rate telemetry)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck, so post-side scores are unmeasured Usage-statistics matching looks inconsistent: Borrelend Dragon, Borrelshroud Dragon, Trisborrel Dragon and Borreload Fatalflare Dragon are in the Extra Deck card list but marked in_this_deck false and counted as missing core, so core_present_pct 64 is unreliable
