P.U.N.K. Deck #769758 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

• Primary strategy: Midrange
• Secondary strategies: Stun, Toolbox
• 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: Synchro and Xyz beatdown from P.U.N.K. Synchro/Xyz monsters (Psychic End Punisher, P.U.N.K. JAM Dragon Drive, Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Amazing Dragon, P.U.N.K. JAM FEVER!) with the P.U.N.K. engine; Hand-trap and negation attrition (11 hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Crossout Designator) into a single board
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a P.U.N.K. starter (Noh-P.U.N.K. Ze Amin, Foxy Tune or Ogre Dance) and extend into a P.U.N.K. Synchro or Xyz, using Emergency Teleport or Mind Procedure for a Psychic body
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold a hand trap (Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird, Nibiru) for the opponent's first engine, then deploy the P.U.N.K. engine on the following turn
• Recovery: Recur P.U.N.K. monsters from the GY with Noh-P.U.N.K. Deer Note, P.U.N.K. JAM Extreme Session and Noh-P.U.N.K. Rising Scale, then rebuild a Synchro or Xyz
• After siding: Not available: the deck runs 0 side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

The deck opens a P.U.N.K. engine reliably enough: 21 archetype-core copies give a 0.92 estimate of at least one core card in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred), but each individual starter has only about a 25% chance of appearing in that hand. Its interaction suite is the strongest part of the list, with 11 hand traps, Solemn Judgment, Crossout Designator and Anti-Spell Fragrance covering both summon and effect windows. Closing power comes from the Extra Deck's 3000+ ATK synchros and Psychic End Punisher. Points were not earned from popularity: archetype usage statistics show this is a real, accessible list, not a strong one. The structural score was computed on the system (consistency, interaction and closing power together), not by averaging card scores. The list is Illegal, because Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and is run for one copy, so the final score is capped and the evaluation is structural-only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Stun secondary (not applied as a weighted blend; Midrange weights used). Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 38. Modifiers: Banlist exposure (-10); No side deck (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 49.2, then modifiers -12 = 37.2; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (Forbidden card run)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.92 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.08 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• 21 archetype-core copies give a high chance (≈0.92) of at least one core card in the opening 5
• Dense interaction: 11 hand traps plus Solemn Judgment, Crossout Designator and Anti-Spell Fragrance
• Strong Extra Deck closers at 3000+ ATK (Psychic End Punisher, Amazing Dragon, JAM Dragon Drive)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and is run for one copy
• No Side Deck, so no adaptation in a best-of-3
• Only 32.9% exact archetype purity; 47 of 55 Main copies are off the exact name
• High brick and dead-in-hand risk from 11 hand traps and 5 searchers

Critical choke points

• Each 3-copy P.U.N.K. starter has ≈25% chance of appearing in the opening 5
• Synchro summons require Psychic Tuners, and tuner count is limited
• The Forbidden card must be removed before the list is playable

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and run for 1 copy (0 legal copies); Card counts: 55 Main, 15 Extra, 0 Side; Card text for hand traps, negation and removal cards; Archetype purity 32.9% and 21 core copies; Stats of the Extra Deck synchros and link monsters
• Observed: Archetype usage stats show the P.U.N.K. core is the common build (real, accessible list)
• Inferred: ≈0.92 at-least-one-core-card in opening 5 (hypergeometric proxy); Brick risk from hand-trap density; Interaction density rating; Going-first and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); D13 matchup/format fit
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, brick/starter rates) Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No guides for the archetype (guides_evidence empty) No Side Deck present, so D12 cannot be measured
