Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 56/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 57 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-based Odd-Eyes and Performapal board, then Extra Deck finishers (Starving Venom Wing Dragon 3300, Chaos Angel 3500, Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon 2500, Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion 2500) for pressure; Link/Synchro/Xyz beaters from the Extra Deck (Borreload Dragon, Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon)
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Performapal Skullcrobat Joker or Odd-Eyes Revolution Dragon, search Odd-Eyes/Performapal material with Spiral Flame Strike or Odd-Eyes Seer, Pendulum Summon through Odd-Eyes Arc Pendulum Dragon and Supreme King Dragon Darkwurm, then Extra Deck summon into a Pendulum-scale board
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 8 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler) to answer the opponent's first played monster or spell, then rebuild via Pendulum Summon and Mulcharmy draw effects
• Recovery: Search through Performapal Gentrude, Performapal Odd-Eyes Seer and Horoscope Sorcerer to restock Pendulum Zone scales, recycle the GY with Monster Reborn or Materialization, and keep 2 to 3 monsters for the next line
• After siding: None. The deck runs 0 side cards, so there is no defined post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional Pendulum start: the archetype core group has about a 77 percent chance of at least one copy in a 5-card hand, and 28 searcher-text cards make a search very likely by turn 2. Its engine converts into strong Extra Deck boards (Starving Venom Wing Dragon, Chaos Angel, Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon, Supreme King Dragon Dark Rebellion) and it runs many negates and hand traps, which earns credit for interaction density and going-second answers. Score is held back by a sprawling main deck with only 5.6 percent exact-archetype purity across roughly eight sub-archetypes, the absence of a side deck, and the lack of any recorded combo boards, so the floor and median are not measured. Popularity did not earn points: usage statistics confirm the list is real and accessible but not that it is strong, and no meta or tournament data was supplied. The score is built on the system (consistency, interaction, closing power, Extra Deck coverage) and was not derived by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 60, Going First ≈ 64, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: engine conflicts / sub-archetype sprawl (-3). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers. Structural is meta-neutral: D13 dropped and the Midrange weights renormalised over the remaining 95 points. 0.80*60 + 0.20*55 = 59, then -3 context modifier = 56.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.77 · 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 Pendulum-scale engine: about 97 percent chance of at least one searcher in hand
• Strong Extra Deck coverage across Fusion, Link, Synchro and Xyz with high-ATK finishers
• Eight hand traps and several negates make it resilient on the draw
• Mulcharmy and Ladyange draw effects help recover card count

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Sprawling main deck with low exact-archetype purity (5.6 percent) and 68 off-archetype copies
• Heavy reliance on Pendulum Summon sequencing with no recorded combo boards to validate the floor
• Several dead-in-hand cards (Heavy Slump, Triple Tactics Thrust, Soul Exchange) that depend on specific board states

Critical choke points

• Pendulum Zone scale setup on turn 1 (Skullcrobat Joker, Odd-Eyes Revolution Dragon, Ladyange and Valet)
• Opponent's first Special Summon or Spell, which the 8 hand traps must answer

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 57 main, 15 extra, 0 side; main and extra within OCG size rules; 2 Ash Blossom and 1 each of Bystial Druiswurm and Bystial Magnamhut within banlist limits; Composition: main copy histogram sums to 57; Extra Deck breakdown Fusion 4, Link 6, Synchro 3, Xyz 2 sums to 15; Card text and stats taken from the evidence excerpts for the hand traps, Extra Deck finishers and searchers
• Inferred: P(at least one archetype core card in hand of 5) = 0.77 from the archetype_core_group estimate; Hand-trap P(>=1 in 6) = 0.61 on the draw; Interaction density and going-second answers from the negate and hand-trap text; Consistency and brick-rate estimates from the copy histogram and searcher count
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup/format fit (50), dropped from the structural score; Tournament reliability inputs, since no tournament link exists
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No side deck: post-side performance cannot be assessed Data inconsistency: usage_statistics marks Odd-Eyes Vortex Dragon, Exceed the Pendulum, Beyond the Pendulum and Odd-Eyes Override Dragon as not in this deck, but the cards array lists them in the Extra Deck. Recounted core presence from the cards array is 10 of 15 (66.7 percent), not 6 of 15 (40 percent). Scoring uses the recount. Data artifact: Shade the Obscure archetype field reads '| supports_archetypes Power Patron' (a parsing artifact); no score impact assumed
