R.B. Deck #768645 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: R.B. The Brute Blues (3 copies in Extra Deck) gaining ATK and extra attacks, backed by high-ATK boss monsters such as Therion King Regulus and Super Starslayer TY-PHON; Ga10 Pile Bunker and Lambda Cannon pressure from R.B. recursion and board-breaking
• Turn 1 (going first): Open R.B. Stage Landing or R.B. Funk Dock, search or Special Summon R.B. pieces (Ga10 Cutter, Ga10 Driller, VALCan Rocket) through the Stage Landing and Funk Dock loop, then link into R.B. Link Monsters
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Evenly Matched, Droll and Lock Bird, Maxx C, Red Reboot) to slow the opponent, then rebuild the R.B. board from the Graveyard with Stage Landing and Operation Test
• Recovery: Recursion from the Graveyard: Lambda Cannon, Doll Hammer, Operation Test and Stage Landing each return to the board or hand after a clear
• After siding: Not applicable: side_count is 0 and this is a single-game OCG format, so no post-side plan is evaluated

Why it scores here

The score is built on the deck as a system, not on an average of its cards. The R.B. core is dense: 24 exact-name R.B. copies, with a 97.5% chance of at least one core piece in a 5-card opening hand, which gives the engine high accessibility (Inferred). Recursion (Stage Landing, Lambda Cannon, Doll Hammer, Operation Test) and eight hand traps plus 14 negation-text cards give the deck real resilience and end-board interaction. Its ceiling comes from Brute Blues and the boss monsters, but no recorded boards exist, so the median and ceiling are text-only estimates. Brick risk and mixed archetype coherence (only 35.8% exact-name purity, with 11 Sky Striker and 5 Mulcharmy copies) hold back the consistency and efficiency scores. Popularity was not credited, and the usage statistics only confirm that R.B. is a real archetype. Because the list is illegal (a Forbidden card and an oversized Extra Deck), the structural result of about 58 is capped to 25 and labelled theoretical only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57.9, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Engine conflicts (-3); Illegal cap (0). Final formula: Illegal deck: uncapped 0.80*57.9 + 0.20*50 + modifiers(-11) = 45.3, capped to 25 as theoretical/structural-only (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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 R.B. core (24 exact-name copies) with a 97.5% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand
• Layered interaction: 8 hand traps, 14 negation-text cards and 25 removal-text cards
• Graveyard recursion from Stage Landing, Lambda Cannon, Doll Hammer and Operation Test

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and the Extra Deck has 17 cards against a 15-card limit
• Low exact-name purity (35.8%) with Sky Striker and Mulcharmy cards diluting the R.B. engine
• Many conditional summon restrictions and off-archetype Link materials raise brick risk and pilot difficulty

Critical choke points

• Illegal list: the deck cannot be played in its current form until the Forbidden card and the Extra Deck overflow are removed
• Stage Landing and Funk Dock as the only two bootstrap cards for the R.B. engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 50 Main and 17 Extra cards; Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and run for 1 copy; Extra Deck size exceeds 15; Copy histogram, archetype purity 35.8%, role-tag counts (8 hand traps, 14 negation text, 25 removal text); Probability table: P(at least one core card in 5-card hand) = 0.975
• Inferred: Consistency and brick estimates are based on card text and hypergeometric draws; Interaction density and recursion value are semantic reads from card text; Ceiling and median are text-only inference because no recorded boards exist
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; matchup fit (D13) is a neutral placeholder; Side deck and post-side plan are not scoreable (side_count 0)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN for going-first, going-second or matchups Usage-statistics matching is inconsistent: R.B. The Brute Blues (3 copies) and R.B. VALCan Booster (2 copies) are in the card list but flagged in_this_deck false in usage_statistics No title on the deck record (deck_name null) Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
