Code Talker Deck #769225 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 49 / Extra 14 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link-chain board from the Ignister and Code Talker Cyberse engine into high-ATK Link and Synchro boss monsters (Firewall Dragon Singularity, Firewall Dragon Darkfluid Neo Tempest Terahertz, Allied Code Talker @Ignister); Mathmech and Primathmech Xyz/Synchro follow-up pressure with Mulcharmy draw engine
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Cyberse searcher (Pikari, Achichi, Backup, Doyon) with A.I. Connect or A.I. Meet You to add a Level 4 or lower Ignister, then Link Summon through the Extra Deck
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Artifact Lancea and Forbidden Droplet to answer the opponent's first meaningful play, then rebuild the Ignister starter from the hand; Dark Ruler No More and Book of Eclipse are the reset tools
• Recovery: Recover through Ignister searchers from the Deck and GY (Doyon, Achichi GY effect, Wizard) and Link-summon back from the GY via Cyberse Witch and Link Disciple
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so there is no post-side plan; the list cannot adapt between games

Why it scores here

The deck's engine is the Ignister Cyberse core: 19 @Ignister copies give a 92.5% chance of at least one in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric), and 17 searcher-text cards make the starter reliable, which is why D1 is the strongest dimension. Interaction is layered, with 6 hand traps, Forbidden Droplet, Dark Ruler No More and two negate-text Link monsters, which earns D7 and some going-second credit. Conversion is only moderate: no recorded boards exist, so the ceiling and median come from text reading alone and carry low confidence, and the list omits Transcode Talker, which is 100% inclusion in the archetype usage stats. Popularity did not earn points, and the score is not an average of card scores; the Illegal Ash Blossom copy count caps the result to a theoretical, structural-only read of 35.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 58, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-4); engine_conflicts (-2); illegal_cap (-11). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*57.7 + 0.20*42 - 6 = 48.6; Illegal deck capped to 35 and labelled theoretical/structural-only

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.28 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.07 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Ignister core is near-guaranteed in the opening hand (92.5% for at least one of 19 copies)
• Layered interaction: 6 hand traps, Forbidden Droplet, Dark Ruler No More and negate-text Link monsters
• Large Link-based Extra Deck with several 2300 to 3500 ATK boss options and redundant summon routes

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of 2
• No side deck, so the list cannot adapt between games
• Low archetype purity (3.2% exact Code Talker name) and 61 off-archetype copies dilute the engine
• Missing 100%-inclusion core card Transcode Talker and several 70-85% core Link/Firewall cards

Critical choke points

• Ignister starter lines depend on Cyberse searchers; Ash Blossom and Artifact Lancea are single-route answers that must be drawn
• Link summons that depend on specific Link-2 and Link-3 enablers with no recorded alternative lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 49, Extra 14, Side 0; within OCG size rules; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring runs 3 copies against a legal limit of 2 (OCG Semi-Limited); Limited cards Bystial Druiswurm, Bystial Magnamhut and Mathmech Circular each run 1 copy (legal); Archetype core 8 of 25 present (32%) against usage stats
• Inferred: Ignister starter reliability 92.5% in 5-card hands from the hypergeometric estimate; Interaction quality from negate and hand-trap card text; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample); Matchup performance (no win-rate telemetry)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference no tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot record are absent no win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no side deck, so post-side performance cannot be assessed no guides attached for the archetype
