Beetrooper Deck #769341 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Toolbox, Fusion/Synchro/Xyz/Link
• 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: Insect board pressure: Battlewasp and Beetrooper summon chains into large Synchro, Link and Fusion bosses (Beargram 3400 ATK, Grand Partisan 3000, Heavy Beetrooper Mighty Neptune 3000, Giant Beetrooper Atlas 3000). Structural only, since the list is illegal.; Hand-trap and negate interaction (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Evenly Matched, Forbidden Droplet, Battlewasp Sting) to keep the opponent off their own boss.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher-heavy hand (about 0.96 chance of at least one archetype core card in hand of 5), search or Normal Summon into the Insect chain, then Link or Synchro Summon toward a boss.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold a hand trap (about 0.52 chance of one in a 6-card hand) to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Insect recursion and Battlewasp Wind.
• Recovery: Insect recursion from the GY (Beetrooper Landing, Armor Horn banish, Assault Roller banish cost) and Resonance Insect / Gokipole searches rebuild the chain after interaction.
• After siding: No side deck is run (side 0). Post-side adaptation is not possible in this build; Score not based on side plan.

Why it scores here

Under the lean rubric this list is scored as a connected Insect system, not as an average of its cards. It reliably opens the archetype core (about 0.96 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card hand, Inferred from the hypergeometric proxy) and has enough searchers (19 searcher-text cards) to reach a boss, and its Synchro, Link and Fusion finishers close games. Interaction density is high, with six hand traps, ten negate-text cards and 21 removal-text cards, so it can answer a first board. The main weaknesses are a low exact-archetype purity (15.7%, with 59 off-archetype copies across Battlewasp, Krawler, Ragnaraika, Mulcharmy and generic cards), no side deck, and no recorded combo data to confirm the ceiling or median. Ash Blossom is run at 3 copies against a legal limit of 2, so the list is Illegal and cannot receive a normal score. Popularity and archetype share were not used to earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: 70% Midrange / 30% Toolbox; dimension weights taken from the Midrange profile. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 58, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); archetype_purity (0). Final formula: Illegal deck: uncapped 0.80*Structural(55) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) + modifiers(-6) = 48, then capped to 30 for an Illegal list (Meta Provisional, not used)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · 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 (19 cards) and archetype core presence (about 0.96 in a 5-card hand) for consistent engine starts
• Layered interaction: 6 hand traps, 10 negate-text cards and 21 removal-text cards
• High closing ceiling from 3000+ ATK Synchro, Link and Fusion bosses

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 3 copies against a legal limit of 2
• Low exact-archetype purity (15.7%); the list mixes Battlewasp, Beetrooper, Krawler, Ragnaraika and generic cards
• No side deck; no post-side adaptation
• No combo or board data to confirm median output

Critical choke points

• Ash Blossom over copy limit; the list must drop one copy before it can be scored normally
• Insect-count requirements for Link and Synchro summons (Insect monsters on field and in GY)
• Reliance on a few Battlewasp and Beetrooper starters for engine lines

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring is run at 3 copies and is Semi-Limited with 2 legal copies (illegal over-limit); Main 55 and Extra 15 are within OCG size rules; Droll & Lock Bird and Harpie's Feather Duster are 1 copy each (legal); Card text for 55 main and 15 extra cards shows interaction, searcher and recursion roles
• Observed: Usage stats: 17 of 25 archetype-core cards present (68%)
• Inferred: P(>=1 archetype core card in hand of 5) = 0.959 (proxy); Interaction density and recursion give several independent routes (D5, D7); Boss closing power from 3000+ ATK monsters (D9)
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Going-first and going-second power splits (no win-rate telemetry); Matchup fit (D13)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent No win-rate telemetry in YGOVN (going-first/second, matchup, brick and starter rates) Meta Power is provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied Deck title is null; sub-archetype mix taken from composition only
