Performapal Deck #769334 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Pendulum-summon a Link/Xyz/Fusion boss from the Extra Deck (Odd-Eyes Vortex, Majespecter Draco - Ryu, Number 38, Underworld Goddess) and convert the 2300-3000 ATK board into damage; Pendulum-Scale stacking followed by Extra Deck Fusion/Synchro/Xyz summons (Dinoster Power, Ignister Prominence) for a second board
• Turn 1 (going first): Set up Pendulum Zones with Performapal Skullcrobat Joker / Horoscope Sorcerer / Majespecter Raccoon, search with Dracoslayer and Magician Pendulums, then Pendulum or Link Summon a boss; hold Ash Blossom and Infinite Impermanence for the first responses
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand-trap the opponent's first summon (Ash Blossom, Nibiru, Infinite Impermanence, Denko Sekka) and chain a Pendulum line from the remaining hand; Mulcharmy Fuwalos draw punishes an opponent who summons several monsters
• Recovery: Recover through Pendulum searchers (29 searcher-text cards) and the Mulcharmy draw effects; Majespecter and Dracoslayer Pendulums can rebuild the Pendulum Zones after a removal
• After siding: Not evaluable: side_count is 0 and no side list is present, so no post-side plan can be assessed

Why it scores here

The deck's Structural score comes from its system, not from averaging card powers: Pendulum searchers (29 cards with search text, P(at least one in opening 5) about 0.98) and a core of three-copy Pendulum monsters give it a likely T1 Pendulum Zone setup. Its Extra Deck of 9 Links, 3 Xyz, 2 Fusion and 1 Synchro gives several late-game bosses, and 9 hand traps plus 19 negation-text cards give it repeatable interaction. It is held back by low exact archetype purity (1.4%, with 69 off-archetype copies spread over Dracoslayer, Magician, Mulcharmy and Majespecter), no recorded combos, and no side deck, so the post-side and matchup dimensions can only be provisional. Popularity did not earn points: usage stats show only 40% core-card presence, and the deck is illegal, which caps the final score at 35. The score is not an average of individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange only; secondary Toolbox not blended into weights. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: copy_limit_violation (-12). Final formula: Structural 49.6 (Midrange weights) -> 0.80*50 + 0.20*45 = 49 (no-meta formula); copy-limit modifier -12 -> 37; Illegal cap applied -> 35 (theoretical/structural read only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.98 · 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 searcher text (29 cards) gives near-certain access to the Pendulum engine
• Nine hand traps and 19 negation-text cards provide repeatable interaction
• Extra Deck has 9 Links plus Xyz/Fusion/Synchro options for varied bosses

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is over the OCG copy limit (3 run, 2 allowed)
• No side deck (side_count 0), so best-of-3 adaptability cannot be assessed
• Low archetype purity (1.4% exact name); 69 off-archetype copies dilute engine coherence
• No recorded combos or tournament data

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom copy count must drop to 2 before the list is legal
• Pendulum Zone setup depends on a Pendulum Monster being in hand or the Pendulum Zone

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring: 3 copies run, 2 legal (OCG Semi-Limited); Main 55 and Extra 15 counts inside OCG size rules; side 0 legal
• Inferred: P(at least one searcher in opening 5) about 0.98 from hypergeometric draw estimate; Engine consistency and brick rate estimates from composition and card text; Interaction breadth from negation and removal text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated sample); Matchup and format fit (no tournament link); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• 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 side deck supplied (side_count 0), so post-side and best-of-3 adaptability are not evaluable no win-rate telemetry: going-first/second, matchup and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
