Yubel Deck #768497 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 53/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

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

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Level 10 Sacred Beast / Phantasm chains (Calamity of the Sacred Beasts - Hamon, Infinity of the Sacred Beasts - Raviel, Inferno of the Sacred Beasts - Uria, Spirit of Yubel, Yubel) into high-ATK Extra Deck closers: The Chaotic Phantasmal Sacred Beasts (5000 ATK) and Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket (5000 ATK); Phantasm Emperor Trilojig and Yubel - The Loving Defender Forever for damage and board presence; Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Max for direct damage per detach
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher or Sacred Beast spell (Sacred Beasts Thunderclap, Sacred Beasts Released, Summoner of the Sacred Beasts, Martyr of the Sacred Beasts) to reach a Level 10 Sacred Beast, then Special Summon Hamon, Raviel or Uria to build the board
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 6-card hand to present hand traps (Infinite Impermanence, Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring, Evenly Matched, Ghost Ogre & Snow Rabbit, Ghost Belle & Haunted Mansion) against the opponent's starter, then rebuild the engine from the remaining hand and GY
• Recovery: Recur from the GY through Yubel's and Sacred Beast revival effects (Spirit of Yubel, Martyr, Summoner, Eternal Favorite), with Mulcharmy monsters and Card of the Soul as card-flow backup
• After siding: Not defined: the deck runs no Side Deck (side_count 0), so there is no best-of-3 adaptation in the list

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional plan through a searcher-dense main deck: 21 searcher-text cards give about 0.92 probability of at least one in the opening 5, and each 3-copy Sacred Beast starter has about a 0.25 chance of appearing in the opening 5 (Inferred). Its system strength is interaction: 10 hand traps and 16 tech cards give strong endboard and going-second disruption, with about 0.72 probability of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand (Inferred). Its closing power comes from several 5000-ATK and 4000-ATK Extra Deck threats, which scores the ceiling but not the median, because no recorded boards exist to measure the floor. The score does not come from Yubel's popularity or from averaging card scores: the Yubel archetype share is absent, the exact-name archetype purity is only 5.7%, and the deck has no Side Deck, which holds structural and tournament-reliability scores down.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 63, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 47. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-2); Engine conflicts (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional) = 0.80*59.19 + 0.20*47 - 4 = 52.75, rounded to 53

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · 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 searcher and starter density (21 searcher-text cards) gives reliable access to the engine
• Ten hand traps and multiple negate/removal effects give strong interaction on both going first and going second
• High-ATK Extra Deck closers (5000-ATK Chaotic Phantasmal and Gustav Rocket) give real closing power
• Legal list: all copy limits and Limited/Semi-Limited copies are respected

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck: no post-side adaptability in a best-of-3 event
• Exact-name purity is only 5.7%; the Phantasm core is split with Mulcharmy, Greed, Forbidden, Cyclone and Favorite, so the deck is a hybrid rather than a focused engine
• Three core Yubel cards are absent from the list according to usage stats (Yubel - Terror Incarnate, Nightmare Throne, Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare)
• High pilot complexity from chained Sacred Beast summons and multiple optional triggers
• Five Limited cards in the Extra and Main Deck increase exposure to banlist changes

Critical choke points

• Reaching a Level 10 Sacred Beast on turn 1 depends on one of 3-copy starters or a searcher; a single unanswered interruption can end the line
• Gustav Rocket requires Gustav Max on the field, and Max is a single copy, so the Train XYZ line has no redundancy

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; all copy limits met; Semi-Limited and Limited copy counts match; Card text and stats for every listed card; Usage stat rows and core-card inclusion percentages; Archetype composition: Phantasm 23, Mulcharmy 6, Yubel 4, exact-name purity 5.7%
• Observed: No boards observed: combos_evidence is empty (0 combos)
• Inferred: Starter access: P(>=1 searcher in hand 5) = 0.92; P(a 3-copy starter in hand 5) = 0.2529; Going-second hand-trap access P(>=1 in 6) = 0.719; going-first estimate about 0.65; Interaction density and closing-power reads from card text; Engine coherence and dilution from archetype spread
• Provisional: Median output and floor (D4) are provisional: no boards; Meta power and matchup fit (D13) are provisional: no tournament link, no dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference (D3/D4 inferred or provisional) No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent; meta power provisional Usage-statistics in_this_deck flags are inconsistent with the card list: Garura, Mudragon, Phantom of Yubel and S:P Little Knight are in the Extra Deck but flagged in_this_deck=false, so core_present_pct 36.4 is understated (about 72.7% by card list); Nightmare Throne, Yubel - Terror Incarnate and Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare are truly absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or unknown No post-side data: the deck has no Side Deck and no matchup record
