Shaddoll Deck #769185 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 25/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 44 / Extra 13 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (El Shaddoll Shekhinaga, Superdreadnought Rail Cannon Gustav Rocket, Number 81 Super Dora) reached through Shaddoll and Train fusion/Xyz lines; Machina Citadel and Machina Ruinforce as Special Summon-based board breakers
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Exceptional Schedule or Urgent Schedule, search a Train or Shaddoll engine piece, and aim for a Level 10 Machine to reach a Rank 10 Xyz; the 65% archetype-core hand probability is the main gate.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom and the Shaddoll flip monsters to interrupt the opponent's first board, then Fusion Summon an El Shaddoll boss from the Extra Deck; there is no sideboard to adjust this plan.
• Recovery: Shaddoll Hound, Shaddoll Beast and Naelshaddoll Ariel recover from the GY through Shaddoll searches and banished-monster revival, while Super Express Bullet Train and Night Train Blue Traveler rebuild Train lines.
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck runs zero side cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system: its archetype core (Shaddoll) appears in about 65% of opening hands at five cards, and searcher text is dense enough (14 cards) that a live engine is common, but the list splits across Train (21 copies), Shaddoll (19 exact-name copies), Machina (5) and generic (11) cards, so the engines compete for the same slots. Interaction is real (8 negation-text cards and 3 hand traps), and the Extra Deck is well spread across Fusion, Xyz and Link, which supports coverage of many boards. The deck has no combo data, no side deck and no tournament link, so its floor, median and ceiling are inferred from card text rather than observed boards. Archetype popularity was not used to earn points, and card scores were not averaged. The list is illegal (Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a limit of 2), so the score is capped as a theoretical, structural-only read.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 47.5, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 45, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist/copy-limit exposure (-4); sub-archetype fragmentation (-4); no side deck (-3); unresolved passcode (-1). Final formula: Theoretical cap for Illegal status. Uncapped no-meta formula: 0.80*47.5 + 0.20*40 + (-12 modifiers) = 34; capped to 25 because the list is illegal. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.65 · 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

• Archetype core present in about 65% of opening hands
• Dense searcher text (14 cards) keeps the engine accessible
• Eight negation-text cards and three hand traps give layered interaction
• Extra Deck covers Fusion, Xyz and Link boards

Weaknesses

• Illegal copy count on Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring
• Three competing engines (Train, Shaddoll, Machina) with 33.3% exact-archetype purity
• No side deck
• No recorded combos, so the ceiling and median are text-inferred

Critical choke points

• Reaching the El Shaddoll or Superdreadnought bosses depends on a Fusion or Xyz line that a single hand can miss
• The 35% of hands with no core card rely on searchers that may not find a live engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality status Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies vs legal limit 2; Main 44 and Extra 13 are within size rules; Extra Deck breakdown: 4 Fusion, 3 Link, 6 Xyz; Exact-name purity 33.3%; archetype spread Train 21, Shaddoll 19, generic 11, Machina 5, Qli 1; Zero side-deck cards; Core-group hand probability about 0.65 at 5 cards
• Inferred: Engine accessibility from hypergeometric and searcher counts; Brick risk from three competing sub-archetypes; Interaction density from negation and hand-trap text; Board-breaking and closing potential from Level 10 and Rank 10 bosses in text
• Provisional: Meta Power is null; no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit is unknown without a tournament link
• Data gaps: no combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link; archetype meta-share and pilot record absent passcode 20366274 (2 copies) unresolved; counted as main no win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power provisional without a dated metagame sample zero side-deck cards; post-side plan not evaluable
