Argostars Deck #769165 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 39/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 50 / Extra 18 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Egyptian God Slime 3000, Divine Arsenal AA-ZEUS 3000, Ancient Fairy Dragon 2100) reached through Argostars Xyz/Fusion/Link lines and Continuous Trap Special Summons; Trap Monster and Argostars Warrior beatdown with Argostars - Fierce Parthe ATK pumps and Argostars - Glorious Adra
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with an Argostars Continuous Trap (Home Stadium or Slayer Eteo), set a second Continuous Trap, then Special Summon Trap-monster or Warrior bodies to build a Xyz or Fusion board. Stand-in Solemn Judgment or Infinite Impermanence protects the setup.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird and Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild from the Graveyard with Continuous Trap revival (Slayer Eteo, Swift Capane, Lightning Tydeu).
• Recovery: Home Stadium and Argostars - Fierce Parthe return Continuous Traps and Argostars cards from the GY or banishment to hand, and Pot of Extravagance and Pot of Prosperity refill the hand from the Extra Deck.
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated. Adding a side would cut the illegal Extra Deck and the over-limit Super Polymerization copy first.

Why it scores here

The deck is illegal in OCG (three Super Polymerization against a limit of two, and 18 Extra Deck cards against a maximum of 15), so the score is capped and labeled structural-only. Its consistency is reasonable: the 22-copy Argostars core has about a 95% chance of at least one card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and Continuous Trap revival routes add redundancy. Interaction is dense, with six hand traps and about twelve negation-text cards, which lifts the endboard score. Median output and combo conversion cannot be measured because no recorded boards exist, so those scores rest on text reads only. Popularity and archetype usage did not add points, and no card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange profile; Toolbox secondary disclosed but not blended. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: illegal_legality_cap (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) + ContextModifiers; illegal-list cap applied

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.05 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core of 22 copies gives a high chance of a live starter in the opening hand
• Two summon routes for Continuous Trap Monsters add redundancy
• Dense hand-trap and negation package (six hand traps)
• Strong Extra Deck bosses at 3000 ATK

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: Super Polymerization over limit and Extra Deck 18 > 15
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptability
• Low distinct-card count with many 1-copy tech cards and 40 Level-0 spells/traps
• No recorded combos, so median output is unverified

Critical choke points

• Argostars Continuous Trap set in the Spell & Trap Zone is needed for most summon lines
• Extra Deck banishment cost from Pot of Extravagance and Pot of Prosperity

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Super Polymerization copies 3 vs legal 2 (OCG BanList); Extra Deck count 18 vs maximum 15; Main count 50 within 40-60; Side count 0
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter access 0.9536 for the core group; Structural weights from Midrange profile; Hand-trap and negation density read from card text
• Provisional: Meta and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability (no tournament link)
• 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 for going-first/second, matchup, or brick/starter rates No side deck registered Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
