ABC Deck #769066 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 47/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Legal with warning.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: LIGHT Machine Union bodies that recur through Union Hangar and Union Activation into Fusion, Synchro and Xyz closers (ABC-Dragon Buster, XYZ-Hyper Dragon Cannon, Psychic End Punisher, Juraishin) and high-ATK beaters (Beast King Barbaros, Cyber Dragon Nova).; Tribute Summon Beast King Barbaros to destroy the opponent's board, and Lightning Storm or Harpie's Feather Duster to clear backrow.
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1 Union Hangar or Union Activation to fetch a Union monster, then Union Driver or Union Pilot to build a board and recur an engine body; Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Pot of Sloth fill the hand.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Evenly Matched, Droll & Lock Bird) and Lightning Storm or Harpie's Feather Duster to strip the opponent's board, then rebuild through Union searchers and Unauthorized Reactivation.
• Recovery: Recur Union Activation and Unauthorized Reactivation from the GY, use Therion Discolosseum and Dragon Ravine to refill, and rebuild the Union line from the Deck.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the deck cannot adapt between games.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a single system: its Union searchers (Union Hangar, Union Activation, Union Driver) give a P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.83, which supports a reasonably reliable T1 plan. Its interaction is layered across Lightning Storm, Harpie's Feather Duster, Evenly Matched, Droll & Lock Bird, Metalhold, Angel Statue, and Therion Regulus, and its closers reach 3000-3500 ATK. Its weaknesses are a 56-card Main Deck with 34 distinct cards and 20 singletons, a 14.3% exact-archetype purity with 60 off-archetype copies across at least 18 sub-archetypes, a 0-card Side Deck, and no recorded boards to measure the real combo floor. Popularity and meta-share played no part in the score, and card scores were not averaged into it.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 55.4, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 49. Modifiers: no_side_deck (-3); engine_conflicts (-3); banlist_limited_exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers (-7) = 0.80*55.4 + 0.20*49 - 7 = 47.1 -> 47

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · 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

• Union searchers (Union Hangar, Union Activation, Union Driver) give reliable T1 access to a recurring engine.
• Layered interaction: Lightning Storm x3, Evenly Matched x3, Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster, Metalhold, Angel Statue, Therion Regulus negation.
• High-ATK closers (3000-3500) spread across Fusion, Synchro and Xyz.

Weaknesses

• No Side Deck, so no adaptation between games.
• Scattered Main Deck: 34 distinct names, 20 singletons, 14.3% exact-archetype purity.
• No recorded boards, so combo floor and median are unmeasured.
• Several engines (Union, Mulcharmy, Therion, Dragunity, Machina, Greed) compete for slots.

Critical choke points

• Union Hangar or Union Activation in the opening hand is needed for most Union lines.
• Hand traps and Lightning Storm are the only early disruption if the opponent goes first.
• Five Limited cards mean the deck cannot add copies of its key interaction or searchers.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 56 / Extra 14 / Side 0 within OCG size rules (40-60 / 0-15 / 0-15).; Five Limited cards, each run at 1 copy (legal).; Exact-archetype purity 14.3%, 60 off-archetype copies, and the 34 / 12 distinct-card counts.; Closer ATK values (e.g. Psychic End Punisher 3500).
• Inferred: Starter access about 0.83 from the searcher group hypergeometric.; Going-second hand-trap coverage about 0.37.; Interaction breadth and recursion routes from card text.; Pilotability from the number of Union steps.
• Provisional: Format fit and meta relevance (no dated meta sample or tournament link).; Meta Power (null).
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent. Card id 10443957 could not be resolved to a name and was counted as Main Deck. Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so post-side evaluation is absent. No win-rate telemetry exists for going-first/second, matchup or brick rate. Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
