Snake-Eyes Deck #769517 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Not established by recorded boards (no combos). Likely closing through Power Patron / Elfnote Link and Synchro bosses such as Vidolium and Elfnote June Pride (Inferred from card text).; Ars Magna recursion and Medius/Theorealize Special Summon chains feeding Power Patron Links (Inferred).
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Elfnote/Power Patron or Mulcharmy draw engines, search a Power Patron or Elfnote starter, and hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle or Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first activation (Inferred).
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (Ash Blossom, Ghost Belle, Maxx C, Droll, Nibiru) on the opponent's opening summon, then rebuild through Mulcharmy draws and Elfnote recursion (Inferred).
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos/Purulia draw-on-summon plus Elfnote and Ars Magna GY/banish recursion (Inferred from card text).
• After siding: Not available: the side deck is empty (0 cards), so no post-side plan can be evaluated.

Why it scores here

The list reliably opens a draw and search package: 21 searcher-text cards give roughly 0.92 odds of at least one searcher in an opening 5, and 14 hand traps plus 14 negation cards give roughly 0.84 odds of a hand trap in a going-second 6 (Inferred). Its ceiling is not recorded because no combos exist, so the Power Patron and Elfnote Link/Synchro bosses are scored from card text only. The deck scores low on structure: it is illegal as built with four Forbidden cards, its exact-archetype purity is 0% (70 off-archetype copies), and it has no side deck. Popularity and the Snake-Eyes archetype label did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 49.6, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); engine conflict / archetype label mismatch (-4). Final formula: Pre-cap: 0.80*49.6 (Structural) + 0.20*40 (Tournament Reliability) + modifiers (-10) = 37.7; capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only). Meta Power is null (Provisional).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ — · 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 search package: 21 searcher-text cards (Inferred consistency)
• High hand-trap and negation density: 14 hand traps and 14 negation cards (Inferred)
• Several engines with multiple Special Summon routes across Elfnote, Power Patron and Ars Magna (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: four Forbidden cards
• No side deck, so no post-side plan for best-of-3
• Exact-archetype purity 0%: 70 off-archetype copies weaken engine coherence
• Archetype-core density is low: 9 copies give P(open in 5) = 0.61 (Inferred)
• Brick risk from many situational hand traps and 23 singleton cards

Critical choke points

• Replacing the four Forbidden slots with legal cards is mandatory before any normal score applies; the evidence does not show what legal substitutes exist
• Power Patron and Elfnote starter access depends on a few 1-copy searchers (Power Patron Portal, Bonfire, Elfnote Lucina/Tinia)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Four Forbidden copies make the list Illegal; Banlist status and copy limits for all restricted cards; Card text for all 55 main and 15 extra cards; Archetype usage statistics (9 rows); Side deck count is 0
• Inferred: Starter and hand-trap hypergeometric odds; Brick and dead-hand risk; Interaction density from text; Going-first and going-second splits
• Provisional: Meta Power (null); Matchup and format fit (D13); Tournament reliability
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first/second, matchup or brick rates Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample Evidence conflict: S:P Little Knight (29301450) is in the decklist as an Extra Deck card, but usage statistics marks it in this deck=false Legality of Snake-Eyes Flamberge Dragon (usage core) is not in the evidence Deck title is null, so the deck is identified by its archetype and id only
