Time Thief Deck #768495 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 31/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Exosister Xyz boards (Magnifica, Karmael, Kaspitell, Mikailis) built from Exosister starters and recursion, closing with 2500+ ATK Xyz monsters; Time Thief Redoer and Eclipse Twins as extra-deck pressure, but both core Xyz are absent from the list
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Exosister Pax or Martha, search or special-summon an Exosister pair, then Xyz into Magnifica or Karmael on turn 2-3
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Dark Hole, My Body as a Shield and hand traps (D.D. Crow, Skull Meister) to slow the opponent, then rebuild the Exosister Xyz board
• Recovery: Exosister recursion from the GY and Pax-based searches to reload the engine after a disruption
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs an empty side deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

The score comes from the system as written: a 40-card main with 25 Exosister-family cards, a 15-card Xyz extra deck, and a going-second interaction suite. Consistency is moderate, since the best starter (Exosister Pax, 3 copies) is live in only about 34 percent of 5-card openers, and the two core Xyz for the Time Thief side are missing from the list. Combo output cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and floor are text-based inferences. Popularity and the Time Thief label did not add points, and no card scores were averaged. The deck is Illegal because it runs 3 copies of the Forbidden Dimension Shifter, so the Final Contextual score is capped low and the result is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 43, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 44, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Illegal list cap (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); uncapped 42.6, then Illegal cap -12 gives 31

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

• Dense Exosister engine with searchers and recursion
• Broad interaction suite: Dark Hole, My Body as a Shield, hand traps and negations
• Multiple 2500+ ATK Xyz closers in the extra deck

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 3 copies of a Forbidden card
• Core Time Thief Xyz (Redoer, Eclipse Twins) missing
• Empty side deck gives no post-side adaptation
• Low starter density for the best engine card

Critical choke points

• Exosister Pax or a single starter must be drawn in the opener
• Dimension Shifter removal changes the hand-trap count and must be replaced

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Dimension Shifter is Forbidden and run 3 times against 0 legal copies; Main 40 and Extra 15 are within size rules; Exosisters Magnifica and Mikailis stats and text as listed; Core Time Thief Redoer and Eclipse Twins absent from the list
• Inferred: Starter reliability from hypergeometric odds; Interaction quality from card text; Ceiling and floor from text, not boards
• Provisional: Meta power and format fit (no dated sample)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied empty side deck: no post-side evidence
