Snake-Eyes Deck #768978 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 32/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Snake-Eye and Fire King board pressure from Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon, Fire King High Avatar Garunix and Diabellstar-family monsters, with Extra Deck link and xyz finishers; Extra Deck link and synchro finishers (Worldsea Dragon Zealantis, Unchained Abomination, Garunix Eternity, Ecclesia and the Dark Dragon), reached when the Snake-Eye or Fire King starters land
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Snake-Eye or Fire King starter with Bonfire, Snake-Eye Oak, Snake-Eye Ash or Legendary Fire King Ponix, then convert into Flamberge or Garunix pressure while holding Ash Blossom, Maxx C or Droll as interaction
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the six-card hand's hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Nibiru, Red Reboot, Maxx C) to stop the opponent's first summon chain, then rebuild with a searcher and Extra Deck finisher
• Recovery: Recover through the Snake-Eye and Fire King GY effects and the searcher stack (15 searcher-text copies), then re-summon from GY or banish zones; no recorded recovery lines exist to confirm this
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side 0), so there is no post-side plan; a best-of-3 build would have to be assembled from scratch

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system, not from averaging its cards. Consistency is weak: the archetype core group (4 copies) gives only about a 32% chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the deck is heavy on non-engine interaction and spells that do not start a line by themselves. Interaction is the strongest area: nine hand traps and about twelve negation-text cards give broad going-second disruption (Inferred from text). Closing power is credible on paper through 3000-ATK link and fusion finishers, but no recorded boards exist to confirm a median or ceiling. The deck is Illegal: three Forbidden cards (Triple Tactics Talent, Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye, Albion the Branded Dragon) break the OCG copy limit, so this is a theoretical, structural-only score capped low. Popularity did not earn points: archetype usage stats confirm the list is real, not that it is strong.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 46, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 48, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (Forbidden cards in-format) (-8); Engine conflicts (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(46) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) + ContextModifiers(-12) = 31.8, reported as 32; theoretical/structural-only, not a normal Final score

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.32 · 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

• Broad non-engine interaction: nine hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Red Reboot and Dimensional Barrier
• Large searcher density (15 copies) for finding starters
• High-ATK Extra Deck finishers across Link, Synchro and Xyz

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: three Forbidden cards over the OCG limit
• Weak starter access: about 32% of openers include any archetype core card
• No side deck registered, so no post-side adaptability
• Scattered archetype identity with 0 exact-archetype copies

Critical choke points

• Snake-Eye and Fire King starters: only about 4 core copies
• Forbidden cards must be removed before the list is legal, and their replacements could change the engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Three Forbidden OCG cards over the copy limit; Main count 55 and Extra count 15 are within size rules; Side count 0 is within size rules; Usage stats: 3 of 7 core cards present (42.9%)
• Inferred: Opener probabilities: 0.325 core in 5, 0.81 searcher in 5, 0.68 hand trap in 6 (going second); Dimension scores and structural score from text-only role reads; Going-first and going-second power estimates
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup and format fit
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry (going-first, going-second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Usage stats say S:P Little Knight and I:P Masquerena are not in this deck, but the card list has them in the Extra Deck (1 copy each); unresolved No side deck registered (side 0) Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
