Artifact Deck #768650 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro boss pressure from Juraishin the Cursed Thunder God (3100/3100), Swordsoul Supreme Sovereign - Chengying (3000/3000), Goyo King and Goyo Guardian (2800), backed by X-Saber and Saber recursion from the Graveyard.; X-Saber Souza and XX-Saber Hyunlei Synchro pressure with Synchro Zone and Saber Combination support, if the Extra Deck is accessible.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with X-Saber Pellina, X-Saber Bruno, Ghost Belle and Haunted Mansion, or Small World to find a Tuner and EARTH non-Tuner for a Synchro Summon; Pot of Extravagance is not legal at 3 copies, so this line runs one fewer draw source than written.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Infinite Impermanence, Ghost Ogre and Snow Rabbit, or Ghost Belle and Haunted Mansion as hand traps against the opponent's first summon or activation, then convert the surviving Tuner into a Synchro.
• Recovery: Recur X-Saber monsters from the Graveyard with XX-Saber Ragigura, XX-Saber Darksoul and Gottoms' Second Call, and rebuild a Synchro board from the Graveyard.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated.

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG: Pot of Extravagance runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, and there is no side deck, so it does not receive a normal Final Contextual score and is capped at 30 as a structural-only read. Structurally, the deck has real redundancy: 15 searcher-text cards and 9 hand traps give a reasonable chance of a functional T1 or going-second response, though any single 3-copy starter opens only about 25 percent of the time in a 5-card hand. Its strongest structural signal is interaction density (negation and removal text across hand traps and Synchro effects), with Synchro bosses around 2800 to 3100 ATK providing closing power. The score comes from consistency, recursion and interaction read on the system, not from averaging card scores and not from the archetype label, which does not match the card pool (the cards are X-Saber and Saber, not Artifact). Combo evidence is absent, so median output and ceiling are text-only inferences.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 54, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: copy-limit violation (-8); no side deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal list: normal formula (0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + modifiers = 36) is not applied; capped at 30 as theoretical/structural-only per rubric Step 2. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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: 9 hand traps and 11 negation-text cards
• Searcher density (15 cards) supports T1 access
• Synchro bosses with strong ATK and recursion via X-Saber Graveyard effects

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy-limit violation (Pot of Extravagance at 3 copies)
• Empty side deck, so no post-side plan
• Low single-card starter access (about 25 percent per 3-copy starter)
• Tech-heavy main with 24 tech-tagged cards and little compactness

Critical choke points

• Tuner plus EARTH non-Tuner requirement for most Synchro lines
• Single-copy Extra Deck bosses (Juraishin, Chengying, Goyo King) are one-card dependencies
• Pot of Extravagance legality must be fixed before any real evaluation

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Pot of Extravagance 3 copies vs OCG Semi-Limited limit 2; Main 56, Extra 15, Side 0 (Main and Extra within size rules); Card text for Synchro bosses, hand traps and X-Saber recursion; Searcher count 15, hand trap count 9, removal text 31
• Inferred: Starter access and hand-trap access probabilities (hypergeometric); Interaction density and going-second quality from semantic card reads; Midrange as primary strategy
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament context)
• Data gaps: Illegal list: Pot of Extravagance copy-limit violation No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No side deck; post-side plan and D12 unscored in practice No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent Deck title is null and archetype label 'Artifact' does not match the card pool (X-Saber/Saber) No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN; going-first/second and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
