Kaiju Deck #768486 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 46 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro beatdown and removal from Extra Deck boss monsters (Lancea, Brionac, Trishula Zero, Icejade Gymir, Swordsoul Chengying, White Aura Whale), supported by Ice Barrier board-control effects; Hand-trap-driven interaction (Ice Barrier, Ghost Belle, Skull Meister, D.D. Crow) that trades cards and stalls the opponent's Synchro or Extra Deck plays
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Medallion or Mirror, then search or revive an Ice Barrier Tuner (Revealer, Georgius, Hexa Spirit) and Synchro into a boss. Going first gives a hand-trap-light opening, so the plan leans on Freezing Chains and Speaker for board presence
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ghost Belle, Skull Meister, Evenly Matched, Nibiru) to answer the opponent's first summon or Extra Deck play, then Synchro through the wreck. Expected 0.88 chance of at least one hand trap in the six-card opening hand
• Recovery: Foolish Burial Goods and Ice Barrier searchers refill the hand, and Ghost Belle or Skull Meister recycle from the GY. Recovery depends on finding Ice Barrier Tuners, which are only 5 searcher-text copies in the Main Deck
• After siding: Not available. The deck has no Side Deck, so it cannot adapt between games in a best-of-3 event

Why it scores here

The deck's only engine is a wide, Ice Barrier-themed toolbox in which no single card is a reliable starter: 25 Ice Barrier cards plus Icejade, Kaiju, White, Graydle, Swordsoul and D.D. spread across about 14 sub-archetype identities, with exact-name Kaiju purity at 5%. The score therefore reflects the system (consistency, interaction density and a hand-trap-heavy going-second plan), not an average of the card scores. Interaction is the strongest pillar: 13 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards give a 0.88 chance of at least one hand trap in a going-second six-card hand (Inferred). Floor and median output are weak because no recorded boards exist to measure them. The deck is Illegal (Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier is Forbidden and runs one copy), so the rubric caps the score and labels it theoretical and structural-only. Popularity and meta share played no part, since the tournament link is absent.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(46) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(38) = 44.4; ContextModifiers -12 (banlist exposure) → 32; Illegal deck, theoretical/structural-only, low confidence

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.3 · 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

• Dense interaction: 14 negation-text cards and 16 removal-text cards
• Going-second hand-trap density (0.88 chance of at least one in six cards)
• Extra Deck bosses with 2700–3300 ATK and board-clearing text (Lancea, Gymir, Swordsoul, Brionac)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Forbidden Trishula runs one copy
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Low archetype purity (5%) and split engines across Ice Barrier, Icejade, Graydle, Swordsoul and D.D.
• No combo data, so floor and median output are unknown
• Harpie's Feather Duster, the one usage-stat core card, is absent

Critical choke points

• Ice Barrier Tuners (Revealer, Georgius, Hexa Spirit) are needed to Synchro into most bosses
• Forbidden Trishula would have to be removed, which changes the Extra Deck plan

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Trishula, Dragon of the Ice Barrier is Forbidden with 1 copy run (over limit); Main 46 (legal 40–60), Extra 14 (legal 0–15), Side 0 (legal 0–15); Exact-name Kaiju purity 5%; sub-archetype spread Ice Barrier 25; Hand-trap group P(>=1 in six cards) = 0.8818
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric draws and card text; Going-second hand-trap plan, interaction density and closing power; Structural score 46 and tournament reliability 38
• Provisional: Meta power (null: no dated meta sample); Matchup fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side Deck is empty, so post-side performance cannot be evaluated
