Earthbound Deck #768481 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 66/100 (±6 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Control, Toolbox
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon of Red Dragon Archfiend, Bystial Dis Pater or Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane into a board-breaking boss (Inferred); Synchro chains that keep negating and removing the opponent's interaction, then attacking through (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Resonator Call, Crimson Gaia, Bone Archfiend or Soul Resonator to reach a Tuner plus non-Tuner Synchro with Red Rising Dragon or Red Dragon Archfiend (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (D.D. Crow, Skull Meister, Ghost Belle and Mourner, Evenly Matched, Draco-Utopian Aura) to stop the opponent's first play, then Synchro through the resulting board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recycle Resonators from the GY through Vision Resonator, Synkron Resonator and Obsessive Uvualoop, then rebuild a Synchro (Inferred)
• After siding: None: the deck runs no side deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens on a Resonator or Archfiend starter: 17 copies of the archetype core give P(at least one in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.84 (Verified probability, Inferred consistency). Its redundancy comes from several hand-activated starters and Graveyard recursion, so one interruption rarely ends the turn. Interaction is dense: 12 hand traps, 12 negates and 27 removal-text cards give strong end-board and going-second protection. The closing power comes from a set of 3000 to 3500 ATK Synchro bosses. Scoring rests on the system: no combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median are text-based inferences. Archetype popularity (usage stats) and the average of card scores did not earn points, and the empty side deck and 57-card main cap the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 67.6, Going First ≈ 68, Going Second ≈ 71, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: none. Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); no context modifiers applied (side and compactness are already scored in D12 and D10)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.84 · 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 of 17 cards gives about 0.84 P(at least one starter in a 5-card hand)
• 12 hand traps and 12 negates give layered going-second interaction
• Multiple boss Synchros at 3000 to 3500 ATK with destruction and banish text
• Recursion through Vision Resonator, Synkron Resonator and Obsessive Uvualoop

Weaknesses

• Zero side deck removes all post-side adaptation
• No recorded combo boards, so ceiling and median are unmeasured
• Long Synchro chains and GY triggers raise the pilot burden
• Near-maximum main deck with many 3-of copies limits flexibility

Critical choke points

• Synchro Summon requires a Tuner and a non-Tuner with the correct Levels; a missing Tuner or non-Tuner stalls the turn (Inferred)
• Hand traps are the main interaction; a hand full of them without a starter is a brick risk (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal in OCG BanList: restricted_cards is empty and all cards are Unlimited; Main 57, Extra 14, Side 0, all within size rules; Hypergeometric probabilities re-computed: 0.2447 (3 copies, hand 5), 0.8428 (17-copy core), 0.7755 (12 hand traps, hand 6); Card stats and text read from the export
• Inferred: Consistency and brick rate from probabilities and composition; Going-first and going-second plans from card text; Ceiling and combo conversion from card text, not recorded boards; Interaction quality from text roles
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit: no dated meta sample or tournament context
• 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 telemetry: going-first, going-second and matchup data absent Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Usage statistics: the in_this_deck flag appears to ignore the Extra Deck. Red Dragon Archfiend, Scarred Dragon Archfiend, Red Rising Dragon, Bystial Dis Pater, Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Bane, Scarlight Red Dragon Archfiend, Kuibelt and Hot Red Dragon Archfiend Abyss all show in_this_deck false but are present in the cards list. Corrected core presence is about 15 of 16 (93.8%), not 43.8%. Solemn Judgment (75% inclusion) is genuinely absent. No side deck: best-of-three post-side evidence is unavailable
