Borrel Deck #768430 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link Summon chains into Borrel boss monsters (Liberator, Punisher, Fatalflare) that pressure the board and take control or destroy opposing cards; Rokket recursion from the GY (Absorouter Dragon, Rokket Detonator) to rebuild the Link board after interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: Rokket starter (Rokket Loader, Rokket Barrage, Rokket Tracer or Quick Launch) to bring out a Level 4 or lower Dragon, Link into Borrel bosses; text-only estimate, no recorded boards
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand trap (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Maxx C, Droll and Lock Bird, Dominus Impulse) on the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Rokket starters
• Recovery: Absorouter Dragon from the GY adds a Rokket monster; Triple Borrel Launch recurs Dragons from the GY; Rokket Caliber can be Special Summoned from hand into a Link zone
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The list reliably opens a Rokket starter: twelve copies of the Rokket starter group (Rokket Loader, Rokket Barrage, Rokket Tracer, Quick Launch) give about an 85 percent chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (hypergeometric, Inferred). Interaction is dense, with six hand traps and several negation or removal texts, which earns the endboard interaction score. Structural power is 58 on the Midrange profile, with the GY recursion and redundant starters carrying the resilience score. Brick risk is high because 44 of 55 archetype-related copies are off-archetype (exact-name purity 20 percent), so the brick score is held down. The list is Illegal (Forbidden Borreload Savage Dragon and two Striker Dragons against a limit of one), so the Final Contextual score is capped at 25 and the evaluation is theoretical and structural only. Popularity does not earn points here: the archetype is usage-verified, but no score was averaged from the card scores and no combo or tournament data supports the ceiling.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 48. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-8); archetype_purity (-3). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*58 + 0.20*48 = 56, then context modifiers -11 = 45; Illegal cap applied, final 25 (theoretical/structural-only, Meta Provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.85 · 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

• Twelve copies of Rokket starters give high first-turn access (Inferred)
• Six hand traps and multiple negation/removal texts give strong endboard and going-second interaction (Inferred)
• Redundant recovery through GY recursion and multiple Rokket routes (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Borreload Savage Dragon and two Striker Dragons (Verified)
• Low exact-name purity (20 percent) and 44 off-archetype copies cause brick and conflict risk (Inferred)
• No side deck registered (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Rokket starter group (12 copies): losing the starters to the opponent's interaction removes the first-turn route (Inferred)
• Extra Deck legality: the illegal Savage and second Striker must be removed before the list can be played (Verified)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Borreload Savage Dragon Forbidden, Striker Dragon over limit (2 copies vs limit 1); Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 counts and size rules; Extra Deck composition: 11 Link, 2 Xyz, 1 Synchro, 1 Fusion; Card text for the Rokket and Borrel starters and hand traps
• Observed: Usage statistics: Borrel and Rokket core cards with 100 percent inclusion among the archetype's recorded decks
• Inferred: Starter access 0.85 from hypergeometric over 12 Rokket starters; Hand-trap going-second coverage about 0.65; Brick and conflict risk from off-archetype copies; Interaction density from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (D13) need a dated metagame sample
• 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 or brick telemetry exists in YGOVN usage_statistics in_this_deck flags are false for every Extra Deck core card (Borrelend, Borrelshroud, Trisborrel, Fatalflare, Savage, Striker, Liberator, Pisty, S:P Little Knight) although the cards list shows them in the Extra Deck; core_present_pct 64 and missing_core are understated and should not be read as absent cards no side deck registered (side_count 0) deck title is null
