Evol Deck #770051 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion and Link summons of GMX / Dinosaur monsters (GMX - COMPREX, GMX - ALLOS, GMX - VELOX, Ultimate Conductor Tyranno) for board pressure and recurring searches.; Synchro and Xyz pressure (Jurrac Meteor, Evolzar Dolkka, Evolzar Laggia) plus hand-trap disruption.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Souleating Oviraptor, Returned Dino Daneen, GMX Chairman Kimridge, Fossil Dig) to reach a GMX monster, then convert via GMX Applied Experiment #55 or a Dinosaur Fusion. Without a GMX engine piece the line stalls, so the opener needs one of the 6 core copies.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 4 hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C, Droll & Lock Bird) and Solemn Accusation to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild through searchers.
• Recovery: Dinosaur recursion and searchers (Returned Dino Daneen, Overtex Qoatlus, Dinovatus Docus) rebuild from the GY and banished pool, though the Evol/GMX/Jurrac/Kaiju/Dinowrestler mix dilutes the recovery route.
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no side deck (Side Deck size 0) and no post-side data.

Why it scores here

The deck's searcher density is high: 16 searcher-text cards give roughly 83% odds of at least one searcher in an opening 5 (hypergeometric, Inferred), so it usually opens with a way to find an engine piece. The GMX core is thinner: 6 archetype-core copies give about 45% odds of at least one in the opening 5, so a real share of hands will be bricks or dead searchers. Interaction is the strongest area: 4 hand traps, Solemn Accusation x3, and 13 negation-text cards give it a layered answer to a first board, though none of this is supported by recorded board data. The Extra Deck is full and varied, and the GMX Fusion and Dinosaur Link pieces give the deck real closing power, but the list is a mixed Evol / GMX / Jurrac / Kaiju / Dinowrestler build with only one exact-name Evol card, so the engine is less coherent than its card quality suggests. The score is capped at 30 because the list is illegal in OCG: Cross-Sheep is Forbidden and Miscellaneousaurus runs 3 copies against a limit of 1. The score comes from consistency, interaction, and closing power on the system, not from the Evol archetype's popularity, and not from averaging card scores. Combo output has no recorded boards, so the floor, median, and ceiling reads are text-only and Low confidence.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 49, Going First ≈ 45, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); engine conflicts (-4); illegal_cap (-18). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural(49) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) = 48; context modifiers -12 gives 36; Illegal cap (Forbidden Cross-Sheep, Miscellaneousaurus 3 vs 1) sets final to 30 (theoretical / structural-only).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.83 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.55 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Searcher density (16 searcher-text cards) makes the engine reachable in most opening hands.
• Layered interaction: 4 hand traps, 3x Solemn Accusation, and multiple negation-text monsters.
• High-ATK Fusion and Link closers (GMX - COMPREX 3700, Ultimate Conductor Tyranno 3500, GMX - ALLOS 3000).
• Full Extra Deck with Fusion, Link, Synchro and Xyz options.

Weaknesses

• The deck is illegal: Cross-Sheep is Forbidden and Miscellaneousaurus is over the Limited copy limit.
• Thin core: 6 GMX core copies give about a 45% chance of at least one in the opening 5.
• Low archetype coherence: 1.4% exact-name purity and many sub-archetypes.
• No side deck, so there is no post-side plan.
• No combo evidence, so floor, median, and ceiling are unverified.

Critical choke points

• Opening without a GMX card: the searcher chain needs a GMX monster or GMX Applied Experiment #55 to reach its Fusion line.
• Interaction is concentrated in a few hand traps (Ash Blossom x2, Maxx C, Droll), so an opponent who plays through them has little backup.

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Cross-Sheep Forbidden (0 legal, 1 run); Miscellaneousaurus Limited (1 legal, 3 run).; Composition: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Extra breakdown 4 Fusion, 6 Link, 2 Synchro, 3 Xyz.; Card stats: GMX - COMPREX ATK 3700; Ultimate Conductor Tyranno ATK 3500; GMX - ALLOS ATK 3000.
• Inferred: Opening-hand odds: P(>=1 searcher in 5) = 0.83; P(>=1 GMX core in 5) = 0.45; estimated brick rate 0.55 on the core group.; Interaction density from text: 4 hand traps, 13 negation-text cards, 21 removal-text cards.; Going-first / going-second splits estimated from hand traps and searchers, not from data.
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit: no dated metagame sample.; Post-side plan: no side deck to evaluate.
• 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 for going-first, going-second, matchups, starter rates, or brick rates. No side deck (Side Deck size 0), so D12 has no post-side data. No guides attached (total guides 0). Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied.
