Phantom Beast (Chimera) Deck #770197 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 60 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Yubel boss chain (Yubel - Terror Incarnate into Yubel - The Ultimate Nightmare, plus Yubel - The Loving Defender Forever and Phantom of Yubel) backed by Luce, Radian and Super Starslayer TY-PHON as end-board threats; Unchained Soul Lord of Yama / Rage link lines and Varudras XYZ pressure (Varudras is Forbidden and cannot legally be played)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Nightmare Throne, Nightmare Pain, Spirit of Yubel, Yama) and reach Yubel-Terror Incarnate, holding Solemn Judgment / Ash Blossom up for the first opposing response
• Turn 2 (going second): Hand trap the opponent's first-turn starter (Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle) and use Solemn/Forbidden cards to break the board before Yubel comes down
• Recovery: Rebuild Yubel from GY/banish via Spirit of Yubel, Eternal Favorite and Nightmare Throne, and re-search with Unchained Soul link summons
• After siding: No side deck is registered (side count 0), so there is no post-side plan; the list is effectively unsided

Why it scores here

As an illegal list, this deck gets a theoretical, structural-only read: four copy-limit violations (including two copies of the Forbidden Varudras) mean the final score is capped low at 30. Its structural strength comes from the system rather than from any card average: 17 searcher-text cards give an estimated 82% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and the Yubel fusion/summon chain has a real route to an end-board. Interaction density is the deck's strongest trait, with roughly 7 hand traps, multiple Solemn negates, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Harpie's Feather Duster and floodgates such as Gozen Match and Rivalry of Warlords. Weaknesses are a 0-card side deck, 19 tech slots spread across 30 distinct main-deck cards, and an archetype label (Phantom Beast Chimera) that the list does not actually run (0% exact-name purity, 1 of 12 core cards present). No combo data was supplied, so the ceiling and median are text-only inference, and popularity or meta-share did not earn any points; card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 57, Going First ≈ 63, Going Second ≈ 64, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Theoretical only (Illegal). Uncapped 0.80*Structural(57) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(45) + modifiers(-12) = 42, then capped at 30 for illegal copy-limit and Forbidden-card violations. Meta Power provisional/null.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.82 · 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 interaction: Solemn variants, Ash Blossom, Droll & Lock Bird, Ghost Belle, Forbidden Droplet and Forbidden Crown
• Searcher density (17 cards, ~82% to hit >=1 in an opening 5) keeps the Yubel engine accessible
• Multiple end-board threats in Yubel bosses, Luce, Radian and Super Starslayer TY-PHON

Weaknesses

• Illegal as built: 4 copy-limit violations including 2 Forbidden Varudras
• No side deck (0 cards), so no post-side plan
• Archetype label mismatch: listed as Phantom Beast (Chimera) but runs 0% exact-name archetype cards and 1 of 12 core cards

Critical choke points

• Yubel - Terror Incarnate (2 copies) is the main summon gate for the Yubel chain
• Searcher count depends on Nightmare Throne and Nightmare Pain
• Hand-trap responses fail if the opening is searcher-only

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Illegal status: 4 copy-limit violations (Varudras Forbidden at 2 copies; Ash x3 vs 2; Super Polymerization x3 vs 2; Droll x2 vs 1); Main 60, Extra 15, Side 0 composition counts; Archetype purity 0% exact-name; 1 of 12 core archetype cards present
• Inferred: Searcher hit rate ~82% in opening 5; Hand-trap and floodgate interaction density is high; Structural scores for D1-D11 and D14
• Provisional: Meta and matchup fit (D13) are provisional without a dated metagame sample
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and per-pilot record absent No win-rate telemetry for OCG; going-first/second and matchup signals are Inferred Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample No side deck registered (side count 0) Deck title is null
