Rescue-ACE Deck #768471 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Rescue-ACE boss monsters (Turbulence 3000, Preventer 2800, Fire Engine 2500) and Xyz finishers, supported by Dogoran (3000 ATK) as a Kaiju board-breaker.; Generic Raigeki/Cyclone/Dogoran removal and Xyz pressure once the board is cleared.
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Level 3/4 Rescue-ACE (Impulse, Quick Attacker, Air Lifter), search with Air Lifter/Quick Attacker or ALERT!, and protect the engine with Hydrant and CONTAIN!/EXTINGUISH!.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap (Ghost Ogre, Skull Meister, Effect Veiler) the opponent's first play, then convert with Raigeki or Dogoran and rebuild from the GY with EMERGENCY!/RESCUE!/ALERT!.
• Recovery: Recover the Rescue-ACE engine from the GY via EMERGENCY! (banish from GY), RESCUE! (Special Summon from GY) and ALERT! (add a monster from GY), plus Preventer and Turbulence banish-cost summons.
• After siding: None. The deck has no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan to evaluate.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens its engine: the 26-copy Rescue-ACE core has an estimated 96.6% chance of at least one card in the opening 5, and the 11 searcher-text cards give about 69% for at least one search on the first draw (Inferred). Its interaction package is broad, with 24 removal-text cards, 9 hand traps and 10 negation-text cards, which supports the end-board and going-second scores. Recursion through EMERGENCY!, RESCUE! and ALERT! supports resilience and resource recovery. Closing power comes from several 2500–3000 ATK Rescue-ACE and Kaiju bodies. The score is not driven by Rescue-ACE's popularity, and it is not an average of card scores. Dragging the score down are the lack of any recorded boards, the empty Side Deck, the low archetype purity (38.6%), and a diffuse 13-card Extra Deck that is mostly off-archetype Xyz. Meta fit is unknown.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary (no reliable meta, D13 dropped and re-normalised for Structural). Structural ≈ 62, Going First ≈ 67, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 60. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (0). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.97 · 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

• Archetype core is dense (26 copies, P(>=1 in opening 5) ≈ 0.97)
• Broad interaction: 24 removal-text, 9 hand traps, 10 negation-text
• Recursion through EMERGENCY!, RESCUE! and ALERT! sustains the engine after disruption
• High-ATK closing bodies at 2500–3000

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low exact archetype purity (38.6%); 43 off-archetype copies
• Diffuse Extra Deck with 13 distinct cards, mostly generic or off-archetype Xyz
• No combo or board evidence to measure ceiling or floor

Critical choke points

• Rescue-ACE Hydrant is the protection and search enabler; its full text is truncated in the excerpt, so its exact role is unverified
• The engine depends on Lv3/Lv4 starters for Xyz material, which is unverified without combo data

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Legal, size 55/15/0 within OCG limits, no violations, no restricted cards; Card text and stats from the evidence pack; Archetype core count (26) and purity (38.6%); Usage statistics: core cards at 100% inclusion
• Inferred: Hypergeometric opening-hand estimates for the engine, searcher and hand-trap groups; Interaction and recursion quality from card text; Going-first and going-second power estimates; Extra Deck access estimate
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit (placeholder); Tournament reliability
• 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 are absent No win-rate or matchup telemetry in YGOVN No Side Deck, so post-side behaviour cannot be evaluated Rescue-ACE Hydrant's full card text is truncated in the excerpt Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
