R.B. Deck #769950 — 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 44 / Extra 17 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: R.B. Link-monster board pressure, with Machine recursion from the GY and Brute Blues / Regulus / Starslayer closing; Hand-trap disruption (Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Droll, Maxx C) that protects the engine on the opponent's turn
• Turn 1 (going first): Normal Summon a Level 4 or lower R.B. or Mecha Phantom Beast starter, use Stage Landing or Funk Dock to add or summon the next R.B. piece, then link into R.B. Shepherd's Crook or The Brute Blues
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence and Droll to answer the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild R.B. monsters through Lambda Cannon or Last Stand from the GY
• Recovery: Recycle R.B. monsters from the GY through Lambda Cannon, Operation Test and Last Stand; Funk Dock adds one more R.B. card
• After siding: No side deck is present in the export, so no post-side plan can be evaluated

Why it scores here

The score comes from the deck as a system: 98.6% of opening hands hold at least one R.B. core card (hypergeometric, Inferred), and several R.B. starters cover the same turn-1 summon, so the engine is accessible. Nine hand traps and about thirteen negation-text cards give strong interaction density on both turns, which is what lifts the going-second read. Median output and ceiling are not measured because the export has no recorded boards, so D3 and D4 are text-only and low-confidence. The deck is capped to a low final score because the Extra Deck holds 17 cards against an OCG limit of 15, and it runs no Side Deck. Archetype popularity and usage stats confirm the list is real and accessible, but they did not earn points, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 52. Modifiers: Illegal Extra Deck size cap (-12); No Side Deck (0); Limited-card exposure (0). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability = 0.80*59 + 0.20*52 ≈ 58, then the Illegal cap (Extra Deck 17 > 15) applies and the final score is set to 30; Meta Power is null (Provisional)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.31 · 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

• Archetype core accessibility is high (98.6% of 5-card hands include an R.B. card)
• Nine hand traps and layered negation text give strong interaction on both turns
• Recursion from the GY (Lambda Cannon, Last Stand, Operation Test) supports multi-turn resilience

Weaknesses

• Extra Deck over the OCG limit (17 of 15)
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Low archetype purity (39.3%) with a splash of unrelated engines
• No recorded boards, so ceiling and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Extra Deck legality must be fixed before any score above the cap applies
• Heavy reliance on Brute Blues (3 copies) as the main closer

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Extra Deck has 17 cards against an OCG maximum of 15; No Side Deck (0 cards); Limited cards (Maxx C, Droll, Crossout, Hornet Drones) run at legal copy counts; Archetype purity 39.3% exact-name
• Inferred: P(at least one R.B. core card in hand5) ≈ 0.986; Going-second disruption from 9 hand traps (P ≥1 in hand6 ≈ 0.77); Redundancy and recursion read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Tournament reliability and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: no combos supplied — combo floor/median/ceiling is text-only inference no tournament link — archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN — brick, starter and matchup rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied no Side Deck in export — D12 and post-side plan unmeasured
