Yubel Deck #769145 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Yubel Extra Deck boss monsters (Yubel Fusion, Unchained Link monsters, Super Starslayer TY-PHON) backed by Spirit of Yubel and Nightmare Throne recursion; Link and Fusion beatsticks (Unchained Abomination 3000 ATK, Underworld Goddess 3000 ATK) once the hand-trap wall has cleared the opponent's interaction
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Nightmare Throne or Spirit of Yubel starter, search Yubel or Terror Incarnate, and hold hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Infinite Impermanence) for the opponent's first response
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps on the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild through Spirit of Yubel and Mulcharmy draws
• Recovery: Spirit of Yubel and Nightmare Throne return Yubel monsters from the GY or banishment; Gruesome Grave Squirmer and Unchained Soul of Sharvara add board presence
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs no Side Deck, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a Semi-Limited limit of 2, so the score is capped and reported as structural-only. Structural power comes from the system, not from averaging card scores. The Yubel core (Spirit of Yubel x2, Nightmare Throne x3, Yubel, Terror Incarnate) gives a moderate chance of a live starter, with about a 25% chance of Nightmare Throne in an opening 5 and about 72% chance of at least one archetype-core card. Interaction is dense (9 hand traps, 10 negation-text cards, 19 removal-text cards) and holds up well on the going-second side. Popularity of the Yubel archetype did not earn points, and the 7.1% exact-name purity and 65 off-archetype copies (Mulcharmy, Sacred Beast, Unchained, Forbidden, Cyclone) pull consistency and efficiency down. No combo boards, guides, tournament link, or side deck were supplied, so the ceiling and floor are text-only inference.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary, Midrange secondary; structural only because the deck is illegal. Structural ≈ 51, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); single_extra_dependency (-2). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(51) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) + ContextModifiers(-8) = 41, capped to 35 because the deck is illegal (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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 hand-trap and negation suite that survives the opponent's first turn
• Yubel recursion through Spirit of Yubel and Nightmare Throne
• Multiple Extra Deck boss options (Link and Fusion at 2800 to 3000 ATK)

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring (3 vs limit 2)
• Low archetype purity (7.1%) with 65 off-archetype copies across Mulcharmy, Sacred Beast, Unchained, Forbidden and Cyclone
• No Side Deck, so no best-of-3 adaptation
• Narrow starter access: Nightmare Throne and Spirit of Yubel are the only real Yubel-line starters

Critical choke points

• Nightmare Throne / Spirit of Yubel as the sole route to Yubel monsters
• Yubel or Phantom of Yubel as the single Extra Deck dependency for the Yubel boss line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 are within the OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over its Semi-Limited copy limit (3 vs 2); Seven cards are Limited at 1 copy, all within limit; Exact-name archetype purity is 7.1% and the deck has no Side Deck
• Inferred: Starter and archetype-core probabilities from hypergeometric draws; Hand-trap and negation density scores for D7 and D8; Consistency and brick estimates for D1 and D2
• Provisional: Matchup and format fit (D13); Meta power, which is null
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchup or brick rates No Side Deck supplied, so D12 can only be scored as absent Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample
