Diabellstar Deck #769912 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 18/100 (±6 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 56 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck Link and Fusion boards (Rescue-ACE Arbitrator, Rescue-ACE Turbulence, Promethean Princess, Worldsea Dragon Zealantis, Dark Magician of Destruction) built from Rescue-ACE and Snake-Eye support, with Diabellstar Black Witch as a secondary body.; Diabellstar Black Witch and Snake-Eye Flamberge Dragon provide 2500-3000 ATK attackers once an engine monster is on board.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Rescue-ACE or Snake-Eye starter, search a second engine card with Rescue-ACE Air Lifter, ALERT!, or Snake-Eye Ash, then Link Summon Rescue-ACE Arbitrator. This needs two or more hand-searchable pieces, so it is inconsistent on a 5-card hand.
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Nibiru) answer the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild with Rescue-ACE recursion. No Side Deck exists, so there is no post-interaction adjustment.
• Recovery: Rescue-ACE Preventer and Rescue-ACE Turbulence recur from the GY through banish costs, and Rescue-ACE HQ and Rescue-ACE Fire Attacker give card draw. Recovery depends on the GY holding enough Rescue-ACE cards to pay banish costs.
• After siding: Not applicable: the Side Deck is empty (0 of 15 slots), so no post-side plan exists.

Why it scores here

The list is illegal in OCG: four Forbidden cards are included at 1 copy each, so it is capped as a structural-only read and does not receive a normal contextual score. Within the rubric, the deck's engine access is middling: the 20 Rescue-ACE copies and 5 Snake-Eye copies give several starters, but only 3 exact-name Diabellstar cards are run, so the archetype core is diluted (exact-name purity 4.2%). Interaction is broad (5 hand traps, 14 removal-text cards, 5 negation-text cards), which supports a reasonable end-board score, while offensive closing power depends on Extra Deck Links that need two material monsters. The score does not come from archetype popularity or from averaging card scores; no combos, guides, or tournament data exist, so every combo and matchup claim is inferred from card text and draw probabilities. The lack of a Side Deck leaves post-side adaptability at its floor.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary with Midrange secondary, weights from the Toolbox row. Structural ≈ 41.5, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 35, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Illegal-deck cap: Structural 41.5 is not used as a normal contextual score. Under the rubric's 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) the uncapped value would be about 40; the legality cap sets the final to 18.

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

• Broad searcher density (18 searcher-text cards) gives a high chance of finding at least one engine piece (0.869 for one or more in hand of 5)
• Hand traps plus removal text (5 hand traps, 14 removal-text cards) give interaction across both turns
• Extra Deck coverage is full (15 of 15 slots) with Link options that do not depend on one card

Weaknesses

• Illegal: four Forbidden cards (Barrier Statue of the Inferno, Original Sinful Spoils - Snake-Eye, Red-Eyes Dark Dragoon, Azamina Ilia Silvia) at 1 copy each
• Three sub-archetypes (Rescue-ACE, Snake-Eye, Diabellstar) share the Main Deck with only 3 exact-name Diabellstar cards, so the archetype core is diluted
• Empty Side Deck (0 of 15) gives no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, guides, or tournament data, so every combo claim is inferred from card text

Critical choke points

• Rescue-ACE Hydrant or another 'Rescue-ACE' enabler is needed for most of the interaction and recursion text
• Link Summon of Rescue-ACE Arbitrator requires two or more FIRE monsters on the field
• Fusion targets (Dark Magician of Destruction, Starving Venom) depend on specific material, and one missing material breaks the line

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: four Forbidden cards at 1 copy each (legal copies 0); Main 56 cards and Extra 15 cards are inside the OCG size rules; Side is 0; Archetype spread: Rescue-ACE 20, Snake-Eye 5, Azamina 3, Diabellstar 3, generic 25; Extra Deck breakdown: 8 Link, 7 Fusion
• Observed: Usage stats: 18 core cards, 5 present (27.8%); Diabellstar Vengeance and Diabellze the White Witch absent
• Inferred: P(>=1 Diabellstar Black Witch in 5-card hand) = 0.249; Consistency and brick estimates from hypergeometric probabilities and card text; Interaction quality from text roles (hand traps, negation, removal)
• Provisional: Meta Power is null: no dated metagame sample; Matchup fit (D13) is provisional: no tournament context
• Data gaps: Deck is illegal in OCG: four Forbidden cards are included, so no normal contextual score applies 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, going-first/second, or matchup telemetry exists in YGOVN Side Deck is empty: post-side plan cannot be assessed Deck title is null
