ABC Deck #768792 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Union and Machine beatdown: ABC-Dragon Buster, B-Buster Drake and X-Cross Cannon equip and pressure, with Obelisk and Barbaros as finishers; Extra Deck boards (Dragon Buster, Regulus, Union Controller) that rely on Union equip chains
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Union Hangar or Union Activation to search a LIGHT Machine Union monster, then equip-chain into a Dragon Buster or X-Cross line; hold Ash or Infinite Impermanence for the first disruption
• Turn 2 (going second): Open a hand trap (Ash, Ghost Belle, Infinite Impermanence) to stop the opponent's first summon, then rebuild a Union board from the GY
• Recovery: Recover through Union Hangar, Union Activation and Union Driver searches, plus Ghost Belle GY effects
• After siding: None. The deck has 0 side cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This list is illegal in OCG: the Extra Deck has 19 cards against a limit of 15, Ash Blossom runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, and Crystal Wing Synchro Dragon and Moon of the Closed Heaven are both Forbidden and in the Extra Deck. Under the rubric it receives no normal Final score, so the 25 is a structural-only cap. Structural strength comes from a playable core: 9 hand traps (about 0.72 chance of at least one going second), a 3-copy Union Hangar and Union Activation starter pair (about 0.28 for at least one in five cards), and an end-board with Obelisk, Barbaros and Dragon Buster. The deck does not reliably convert that core into pressure: it runs 31 distinct Main Deck cards with only 13% exact ABC purity across 15 sub-archetypes, has no side deck, and has no recorded boards to measure its floor or ceiling. Archetype popularity earned no points, and the score was not an average of card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 39, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 36, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-6); No side deck (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(39) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + modifiers(-9) = 29, then the Illegal cap applies and the result is 25. Structural-only, not a normal Final score.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.28 · 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

• 9 hand traps give strong going-second interaction
• Obelisk and Barbaros provide high-ATK finishers
• Union Hangar and Union Activation give search access to the Union core
• Usage stats show a real, accessible list shape (Terraforming and Union Hangar are core picks)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG on three counts: Extra Deck size, Ash copy limit, and two Forbidden cards
• 31 distinct Main Deck cards with only 13% exact archetype purity
• No side deck
• No recorded boards, so floor, median and ceiling are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Union Hangar and Union Activation carry the search chain; losing both to disruption leaves few starters
• Obelisk and Barbaros are single-copy finishers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Extra Deck 19 > 15; Ash Blossom 3 copies vs legal 2; Crystal Wing and Moon Forbidden with 1 copy each; Card text for the 50 Main and 19 Extra cards, from the resolved list; Main 50 is within size range; side count is 0; One passcode unresolved and counted as Main; Usage stats: Terraforming 100%, Union Hangar 87.5%
• Observed: Usage stats show the Union Hangar and Terraforming core in ABC-style lists
• Inferred: Consistency estimates from hypergeometric draws; Union engine plan and interaction density read from text; Structural dimension scores and the 39 Structural result
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); D13 matchup and format fit
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent One passcode in CardIDList could not be resolved (counted as Main) No win-rate telemetry (going first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
