Icejade Deck #770104 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 20/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Atlantean / Mermail / Daedalus monster beats and Link or Xyz boards (Poseidra, Graydle Dragon, Levia-Dragoon - Daedalus, Azure Ocean Dragon Lord) (Inferred from card text); Abyss- and Mermail Xyz pressure (Abysstrite, Poseidra Abyss, Mermail Abyssgaios) (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Opening search chains (Neptabyss, Mermail Abyssteus, Atlantean Dragoons, Advent of Atlantis) toward a Level 7 or Atlantis-linked boss; no combo evidence exists to confirm steps (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand traps (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Maxx C, Red Reboot, Solemn Judgment) to interrupt, then search-based rebuild; no side deck to adapt (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recursion from GY monsters (Mermail Abyssteus, Warchief of Atlantis, Mulcharmy Purulia/Fuwalos draw engine) (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None: the Side Deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal in OCG because it runs two Forbidden cards (Bahamut Shark and Barrier Statue of the Torrent), so it receives no normal Final Contextual score and is capped at 20 as a theoretical, structural-only read. Structure is moderately functional: a 22-card searcher text group gives P(at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand) of about 0.91, and the 17 Level 0 spells and traps plus 5 hand traps and 8 negation-text cards give real interaction density. The deck has no recorded boards, so floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and none is measured. The archetype label Icejade is not supported by the list, which is an Atlantean, Mermail, Deep Sea and Daedalus shell with zero Icejade-named cards, and the deck has no Side Deck, which caps its post-side and matchup scores. Popularity was not a factor, and card scores were not averaged into the deck score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 48, Going First ≈ 50, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 42. Modifiers: Illegal-deck cap (-18); Banlist exposure (-4); No side deck (-3); Engine conflict / label mismatch (-2). Final formula: Uncapped: 0.80*Structural(48) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(42) + ContextModifiers(-9) = 38; Illegal cap applied -> 20. Theoretical/structural only. Meta Power provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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

• Dense searcher text (22 cards) gives a high chance of a live searcher in the opening hand
• Layered interaction: 5 hand traps, 8 negation-text cards and 17 removal-text cards
• Broad Extra Deck coverage across Xyz, Synchro, Link and Atlantean routes
• Real Link and Xyz boss options (Poseidra, Graydle Dragon, Zealantis, Poseidra Abyss)

Weaknesses

• Illegal in OCG: two Forbidden cards in the Main Deck
• Archetype label Icejade does not match the list (0 Icejade cards; purity 0%)
• Empty Side Deck: no post-side plan
• No recorded combos, so the floor, median and ceiling are unmeasured
• Heavy reliance on Limited single-copy interaction (Heavy Storm, Solemn, Maxx C, Red Reboot)

Critical choke points

• Bahamut Shark and Barrier Statue of the Torrent are Forbidden, so the list cannot be played as built in OCG
• A single Atlantis field line is fragile to Solemn Judgment and Red Reboot
• Level-based engine (Level 7 and Level 4 Atlantean and Mermail) depends on specific searchers

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: Bahamut Shark and Barrier Statue of the Torrent are Forbidden (1 copy each); Limited OCG status for Heavy Storm, Solemn Judgment, Maxx C, Red Reboot, Droll & Lock Bird, Appointer of the Red Lotus, Harpie's Feather Duster; Main 60 and Extra 15 are within the OCG size rules; Side Deck is 0 cards; 0 Icejade-named cards in the list; purity 0%
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in 5-card hand) ~0.91 and starter odds from hypergeometric draws; Interaction density from the text-role hints and card text; Engine routes and win conditions from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and matchup fit (no dated sample); Tournament reliability and format fit (no tournament link)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied (total_combos 0): floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry: going-first and going-second splits are Inferred Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Side Deck is empty, so post-side behaviour cannot be scored Deck title is null and the archetype label Icejade is unsupported by the list
