Yummy Deck #769133 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 28/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Yummy Synchro/Link board built from Cooky/Lollipo/Marshmao starters, with Mulcharmy and Sky Striker support, converting into Yummy monsters and Synchro/Link boss pressure; Sky Striker Ace - Camellia / Kagari and Herald of the Arc Light as Extra Deck closers that ride existing board presence
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Mulcharmy/Yummy starters, use Dark Magical Curtain or Mulcharmy draw effects to fill, then Link-1 into Synchro or Link pressure
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, and Mind Crush to interrupt the opponent's first engine, then rebuild with Yummy searchers
• Recovery: Searchers (Witch of the Black Forest, Toon Bookmark, Sky Striker Mobilize, Toon World) and Mulcharmy draws rebuild the hand after a clean interruption
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck runs no side cards, so there is no post-side plan to score

Why it scores here

The deck's reliable opening is the Yummy/Mulcharmy starter set: P(at least one of the 16 archetype-core cards in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.83, so the engine is usually reachable on turn one (Inferred). Its real strength is interaction on the system level. Ten hand traps and several Limited or Semi-Limited disruptors (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Heavy Storm) give it resilience on going second, and searchers recover cards after a clean interruption. Its closing power is weaker: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference, and the two most powerful Extra Deck boss cards (Cupsy★Yummy Way and Baronne de Fleur) are Forbidden in this format and cannot be legally run. The score comes from consistency, interruption handling and interaction density on the system, not from Yummy's popularity (archetype usage stats confirm it is real and accessible) and not from averaging card scores. Because the list is illegal, it receives only a structural, capped score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Tempo as the secondary reading, no separate weight profile applied. Structural ≈ 54, Going First ≈ 56, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-8); Empty side deck (-2); Illegal-list cap (-12). Final formula: Illegal list: normal formula (0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 51.2) with modifiers -12 gives 39, then capped at 28 as a theoretical/structural-only score because the list is illegal (Meta provisional)

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

• Starter density: ~83% chance of at least one archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand
• Layered interaction: ten hand traps plus Heavy Storm, Mind Crush, Crossout Designator and Harpie's Feather Duster
• Recovery: 17 searcher-text cards plus Mulcharmy draw effects
• Compact main deck for its engine (38 distinct main cards)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: two Forbidden cards and one card over its Limited copy count
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Closing power depends on Extra Deck cards that cannot legally be run
• Low exact-name Yummy purity (20%); 56 off-archetype copies
• No recorded combo data, so the ceiling and median are unverified

Critical choke points

• The Yummy Link-1 or Level-2 Synchro prerequisite for most starters
• Single Extra Deck closers that are illegal (Cupsy★Yummy Way, Baronne de Fleur)
• No side deck, so the game-two plan depends on the main deck alone

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 2 Forbidden cards and 3 over-limit copies (Cupsy☆Yummy 3 vs 1; Cupsy★Yummy Way 1 vs 0; Baronne de Fleur 1 vs 0); Main count 55 and Extra count 15 are within OCG size rules; the side deck is empty; Usage stats: Yummy core cards show 81–94% inclusion across the archetype sample; Card text for the 10 hand traps, 17 searchers and 17 removal-text cards
• Inferred: P(≥1 archetype-core in 5) ≈ 0.83 and P(≥1 hand trap in 6) ≈ 0.72 (hypergeometric); Interruption resilience and recovery from card text; Starter-to-Synchro/Link conversion (no recorded boards); Going-second hand-trap protection
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup coverage and format fit (no tournament link); Side-deck adaptability (no side cards)
• 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 No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) exists in YGOVN Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Side deck is empty, so post-side behaviour cannot be assessed
