Galaxy Photon Deck #769808 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 1 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra-Deck boss pressure from Number 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon, Psychic End Punisher, P.U.N.K. JAM FEVER!, and Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon, once a P.U.N.K. or Photon starter reaches the field (Inferred from text; no recorded boards); P.U.N.K. Synchro/Fusion chains through Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Sharakusai and Ukiyoe-P.U.N.K. Rising Carp (Inferred from text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a 3-copy P.U.N.K. starter (Noh-P.U.N.K. Ze Amin, Foxy Tune, or Ogre Dance) with a Tuner or Psychic enabler, then go to Synchro or Link extension (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Sister, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx "C", and Red Reboot to strip the opponent's first search, Special Summon, or set trap, then play through the board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recover P.U.N.K. monsters from the GY through their own GY effects (Ze Amin, Foxy Tune, Ogre Dance, JAM Extreme Session) and draw through Mulcharmy Fuwalos or Purulia (Inferred)
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no Side Deck (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

This is a 55-card Main with 33 distinct cards, 17 singletons, and 9 hand traps, so its consistency rests on the 3-copy P.U.N.K. starters (Ze Amin, Foxy Tune, Ogre Dance), each with about a 25% chance of at least one copy in a 5-card opening hand (Inferred hypergeometric). Its interaction density is high (16 negation-text cards, 19 removal-text cards, 9 hand traps), which earns the best dimension (D7 70). No combo boards were recorded, so the ceiling and median scores (D3 45, D4 35) come from text reading only and are Inferred. The deck is an Illegal list: it runs 1 copy of Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden, 0 legal copies), so the Structural score (about 52) and the theoretical final (about 39) are capped to 30 under the legality guardrail. Popularity was not credited: exact archetype purity is 0% (70 off-archetype copies), only 5 of 18 core archetype cards are present, and the score was not built by averaging card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 55, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: 0.80*Structural(52.1) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + Modifiers(-12) = 38.7 theoretical; capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal (Meta provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · 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

• Interaction density: 9 hand traps and 16 negation-text cards, including Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring at 2 copies
• Three 3-copy P.U.N.K. starters that recur from the GY and give the Main Deck a repeatable engine
• Extra Deck has a high-ATK boss range (Psychic End Punisher 3500, Neo Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon 4500)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Triple Tactics Talent (Forbidden) is run in the Main Deck
• No Side Deck (side_count 0), so best-of-3 adaptation is absent
• Archetype identity is weak: 0% exact-name purity and 70 off-archetype copies; 13 of 18 usage-core archetype cards are missing
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and floor cannot be checked

Critical choke points

• Each 3-copy P.U.N.K. starter has about a 25% chance of appearing in an opening hand of 5 (Inferred)
• Hand-trap dependence: 9 hand traps must be drawn to stop early interaction, and the chance of at least one is about 0.68 going second (Inferred)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main/Extra counts are legal for ocg (55 Main within 40–60; 15 Extra within 0–15; 0 Side within 0–15); Triple Tactics Talent is Forbidden and run 1 copy, making the deck Illegal; Limited and Semi-Limited cards are all run within their legal copy counts; Card stats and text excerpts for the listed cards; Core-card presence: 5 of 18 usage-core cards present
• Inferred: P(≥1 3-copy starter in hand of 5) ≈ 0.25; hand-trap P(≥1 in hand of 6) ≈ 0.68; P.U.N.K. recursion and draw routes from GY and text; Interaction layering from negation and removal text; Going-first and going-second plans from text; Structural weights and dimension scores
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability and matchup fit (no 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 are absent No win-rate telemetry; going-first and going-second splits, matchup results, and brick rates are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck title is null in the export No Side Deck is present in the export
