Tri-Brigade Deck #769482 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon Lunalight Fusion Monsters (Leo, Liger, Panther, Sabre, Cat Dancer) from Polymerization and Lunalight Fusion, then attack through a 3000-3800 ATK board.; Tri-Brigade Fraktall and the Fire Fist / Fire Formation XYZ line as a secondary board, although the Tri-Brigade payoffs are almost absent from the list.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open Lunalight searchers (Gold Leo, Black Sheep, Yellow Marten, Kaleido Chick) to put Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion in hand, then Fusion Summon a Lunalight Dancer off a Beast-Warrior or Lunalight pair.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle and Ghost Ogre (hand traps) to stop the opponent's first board, then go to the Lunalight Fusion line on the following turn.
• Recovery: Recover from the GY via Lunalight Tiger, Emerald Bird and Yellow Marten special summons and Perfume Dancer's recursion of Luna Light Perfume and Polymerization.
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in this export.

Why it scores here

The score is set on the deck as a system and is capped low because the list is illegal: it runs one copy of Called by the Grave, which is Forbidden in OCG. The engine is cohesive: 32 Lunalight and 16 generic copies feed a Lunalight Fusion/Polymerization line with several searchers, so the deck opens a live engine often (P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.95, Inferred). Interaction is dense (8 hand-trap cards and 14 negation-text cards), which supports the going-second plan. The deck has no recorded boards, no win-rate data, no tournament link and no Side Deck, so the ceiling and median could not be measured and are Inferred from card text only. The archetype label reads Tri-Brigade, but only 1 copy is an exact Tri-Brigade card, so popularity and archetype naming did not earn points. No card scores were averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 50. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-6); illegal_list_cap (0). Final formula: Illegal cap: uncapped 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(50) = 56; the illegal cap sets the final to 25 (theoretical/structural only). Meta Power is null (Provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.95 · 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

• Cohesive Lunalight engine with 32 archetype copies and 3 copy Lunalight searchers.
• Dense interaction: 8 hand traps and 14 negation-text cards.
• Lunalight Fusion/Polymerization gives a 3000+ ATK Fusion finisher with multiple second-attack monsters.

Weaknesses

• Illegal: Called by the Grave is Forbidden in OCG.
• No Side Deck (side_count 0) so no post-side plan.
• Archetype label Tri-Brigade does not match the list (1 exact copy, 32 Lunalight).

Critical choke points

• Polymerization or Lunalight Fusion in hand is the single route to the Fusion finishers; losing these to hand traps or board disruption collapses the line.
• The Forbidden Called by the Grave copy removes the deck from legal play until it is removed.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 40, Extra 15, Side 0 are within OCG size rules (main 40-60, extra 0-15, side 0-15).; Called by the Grave is Forbidden and over the copy limit (run 1, legal 0).; Crossout Designator, Foolish Burial and S:P Little Knight are Limited at legal count; Ash Blossom and Foolish Burial Goods are Semi-Limited at legal count.; Extra Deck breakdown: 10 Fusion, 3 XYZ, 2 Link.; Archetype purity: 1 exact Tri-Brigade copy, 54 off-archetype copies.
• Inferred: Searcher group P(>=1 in 5-card hand) is 0.9489.; Hand-trap group P(>=1 in 6-card hand, going second) is 0.7639.; Lunalight Fusion line reaches 2800-3800 ATK from text alone.; Consistency and brick estimates are hypergeometric estimates, not measured.
• Provisional: Meta Power and format fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link).
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference. No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent. No win-rate telemetry (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) exists in YGOVN. Side deck is absent (side_count 0), so post-side performance is unscored. Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
