Unchained Deck #769367 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 45 / Extra 19 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Unchained Link and Fiend boss monsters (Abominable Unchained Soul, Unchained Abomination, Unchained Enma Lord Yama, Luce the Dusk's Dark) reached through the Unchained Special Summon and destruction chain; Fiendsmith Fusion and Link pressure (Fiendsmith's Lacrima, Fiendsmith's Requiem) with Lacrima's ATK reduction
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon Unchained Ogre Shma to Special Summon a Level 4 or lower Unchained monster from the Deck, then build toward an Unchained Link; Abomination's Prison and Abominable Chamber add searches and Special Summon depth
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Maxx 'C', Infinite Impermanence and Kuriboh-Multiply as hand traps to interrupt the opponent's first board, then rebuild through Unchained monsters that Special Summon from the Deck
• Recovery: Reincarnation of the Unchained (2 copies) shuffles up to 3 Unchained cards from the GY back to the Deck and can add Abomination's Prison or an Unchained Spell
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side 0), so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The list is illegal in OCG: three Forbidden cards (Aerial Eater, Number 60, D/D/D Wave High King Caesar) are run, and the Extra Deck holds 19 cards against a maximum of 15. Under the rubric it is capped as a theoretical, structural-only read, so the 30 is a cap rather than a normal contextual score. The structural read (about 55) comes from the system: the 12-copy Unchained core gives a 0.81 chance of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), and the 17 searchers give 0.92, so the engine usually starts. Interaction is the deck's strongest part, with 6 hand traps, 7 negation-text cards and 21 removal-text cards, and it has several 3000-ATK Link and Fusion boss monsters. The deck has no recorded boards, so the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only guesses and carry low confidence. Popularity did not earn points: only 9 of 25 archetype-standard cards are present and Unchained Soul of Rage (100% inclusion) is missing, and the score was not built by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (structural weights only). Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); illegal-list cap (-15). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 53 before modifiers; modifiers -8 gives 45; Illegal cap sets 30 (no normal Final Contextual score)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.19 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Hand-trap and negation density (Ash Blossom, Maxx 'C', Infinite Impermanence, Kuriboh-Multiply, Dark Spirit of Banishment, Diabrocken) gives strong going-second interaction
• Searcher density (17) and the Unchained core make the opening hand usually functional
• Several 3000-ATK boss monsters give closing power once the engine reaches a Link or Fusion

Weaknesses

• Three Forbidden cards are run and the Extra Deck exceeds the OCG size limit, so the list is illegal
• Only 45% exact-name archetype purity; the list depends on Fiendsmith and generic cards
• Missing 100% and 80% inclusion core cards (Unchained Soul of Rage, Fiendsmith's Sequence, Fiendsmith's Desirae) reduce the usual engine
• No side deck, so there is no post-side adaptation

Critical choke points

• The 12-copy Unchained core has a 19.4% chance of no core card in the opening 5-card hand
• Boss monsters depend on Link Summons that use specific Unchained materials
• Going-second interaction depends on the 6 hand traps, and 40% of 6-card hands contain none

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 3 Forbidden copies and Extra Deck size 19 > 15 (OCG rule); Copy limits: Fiendsmith Engraver, Fiendsmith's Lacrima, Fiendsmith's Tract and Maxx 'C' at 1 copy each (Limited), Ash Blossom at 2 (Semi-Limited); Card stats and text roles from the export; Archetype usage: 9 of 25 core cards present (36%)
• Inferred: Opening-hand consistency from hypergeometric estimates; Structural dimension scores D1 to D14 and the going-first and going-second splits; Interaction quality from text roles
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup and format fit (D13); Post-side plan (no side deck)
• 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 records are absent No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so going-first, going-second and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown No side deck, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
