Onomat Deck #770169 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 54 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 3 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Xyz Summon of Utopia / Number boss monsters (Number 39: Utopia, Utopia Ray, Number 99: Utopia Dragonar) through the Onomat/Gagaga/Dododo/Zubaba starter-and-searcher engine (Inferred from card text); Disruption and negation (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Solemn Judgment, Forbidden Droplet, Forbidden Crown) to slow the opponent while the Xyz line develops (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Onomatopaira plus a Dododo/Gogogo/Zubaba starter to add the next engine monster, then Xyz Summon from the Extra Deck (Inferred; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold hand traps (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Droll, Artifact Lancea) to answer the opponent's first board, then rebuild with Gagaga Magician / Gagaga-family Xyz (Inferred)
• Recovery: Onomatopaira and the Gogogo/Dododo graveyard revival effects re-add or re-summon engine monsters after a broken hand (Inferred from text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan exists in the evidence

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal: it runs 3 copies of Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring against a limit of 2, and includes Triple Tactics Talent and Number 60: Dugares the Timeless, both Forbidden in OCG. Under the rubric the legality cap applies, so the score is structural-only and held to 30 instead of a normal Final Contextual score. The structural read comes from the system rather than from averaging card scores: a dense starter and searcher base (archetype core about 0.88 chance of at least one in a 5-card hand, searcher text about 0.79) feeds a 15-card Xyz Extra Deck and a 10-card hand-trap layer that keeps interaction available. Weaknesses are a low archetype purity (0% exact Onomat name, with 18 tech slots and several off-archetype Gagaga, Dododo, Utopia, Number, Mulcharmy and Saber sub-engines), no side deck, and no recorded combos, so the combo floor and median are text-only inference. Popularity was not credited: usage statistics show the core is partly present (69%), and no tournament share or win data exists.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 55, Going First ≈ 52, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: No reliable metagame: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers = 0.80*55 + 0.20*45 - 12 = 41; capped to 30 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.26 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense searcher and starter base with high archetype-core access
• Ten hand traps plus Droll, Solemn, Droplet and Crown give layered interaction
• Xyz boss set includes several 2500-3000 ATK monsters with direct-attack and ATK-zeroing text

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 3 Ash Blossom over limit and 2 Forbidden cards
• Low purity: 0% exact Onomat names, with 69 off-archetype copies across Gagaga, Dododo, Utopia, Number, Mulcharmy and Saber
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• No recorded combos, so floor and median are unmeasured

Critical choke points

• Starter count: only 3 copies each of Onomatopaira and the Dododo/Gogogo starters, so opening without one starter likely stalls the engine (Inferred)
• Ash Blossom over limit: removing the illegal copy is required before any play; the third copy would be a mandatory cut

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Illegal (3 over-limit or Forbidden violations; 54 main, 15 extra, 0 side within size rules); Banlist status for Ash Blossom (Semi-Limited, legal 2), Triple Tactics Talent and Number 60 (Forbidden); Card text for listed cards from the evidence excerpts; Usage stat: 9 of 13 core cards present (69.2%)
• Inferred: Hypergeometric starter, brick and hand-trap odds; Engine coherence and off-archetype dilution read; Xyz boss ceiling and interaction breadth from card text; Pilotability and going-second estimates
• Provisional: Meta Power (null, no dated metagame sample); Matchup fit (D13) and tournament reliability
• 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 (going-first/second, matchup, game-level, brick/starter/OTK rates) — those signals are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied deck title is null; deck name unavailable
