Rokket Deck #768427 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Control
• 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 and Xyz boards (Borrelshroud Dragon, Borrelend Dragon, Trisborrel Dragon, Breachborrel Dragon) built from Rokket and Borrel dragons, closing through high-ATK link monsters; Fusion and Xyz extra-deck boss plays (Borreload Fatalflare Dragon, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon) off the Rokket and Borrel engine
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Quick Launch or a Rokket monster from the Deck, then Rokket Loader or Rokket Tracer to fuel the Link and Fusion lines; hold Ash Blossom and Maxx C as backup interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand to hit hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Infinite Impermanence, Dominus Impulse) on the opponent's first summon, then rebuild through Rokket Barrage and Absorouter Dragon
• Recovery: Recover through Rokket Barrage and Absorouter Dragon from the GY, Rokket Detonator and Magnarokket Dragon recursion, and Rokket Tracer's destroy-and-summon effect
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adjust between games without a legal sideboard

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its card scores. Its core Rokket engine (Rokket Loader, Rokket Barrage, Rokket Tracer at 3 copies each, plus Quick Launch) has a high chance of being live by the opening hand, with the archetype core present in about 99 percent of hands by proxy, which supports a solid starter rate. Interaction is the strongest area: six hand traps, eight negation texts and 22 removal texts give the deck layered answers to the opponent's first plays, which earns the score for the end-board and going-second game. Conversion is only moderate because the main deck is only 33 percent exact-archetype (37 off-archetype copies from Borrel, Dominus, Mulcharmy, Bystial and others), so some hands will be non-engine, and there are no recorded boards to confirm the ceiling or median. Popularity did not earn points: the archetype is usage-verified, but that only confirms the list is real. The deck is Illegal, with a Forbidden card and an over-limit Limited card, so it receives only a capped theoretical structural read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal cap applied: theoretical structural-only. Structural 53 = Midrange-weighted dimensions; no-meta formula 0.80*53 + 0.20*45 = 51.4, minus banlist-exposure modifier -12 = 39, then capped to 35 for Illegal status (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.34 · 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

• Layered interaction: six hand traps, eight negation texts and 22 removal texts
• Rokket recursion gives repeatable GY resources
• Extra Deck has multiple 3500 ATK link bosses for closing

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Forbidden Borreload Savage Dragon and over-limit Striker Dragon
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Only 33 percent exact-archetype purity, leading to non-engine hands

Critical choke points

• Single copies of key bosses (Borrelshroud Dragon, Borrelend Dragon) make the closing line fragile after one removal or negate
• Rokket GY stock is required for recursion and Link material routes

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: Borreload Savage Dragon Forbidden at 1 copy; Striker Dragon Limited at 2 copies; Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0; within OCG size rules except the side deck being empty; Archetype core 22 copies, purity 33 percent, 6 hand traps
• Inferred: Starter access and brick risk from hypergeometric estimates; Interaction density from role tags and card text; Closing power from Extra Deck boss stats and text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) No side deck registered, so post-side plan is unscored Deck title is null
