Synchron Deck #770214 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 51 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 6 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Synchro Summon into Shooting Quasar Dragon, Junk Destroyer or Black Rose Dragon off a Tuner plus non-Tuner board (Verified card text; Inferred as the intended finisher); Gorz the Emissary of Darkness and Junk Berserker as non-Synchro or secondary boss threats (Inferred)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Tuner (Quickdraw Synchron, Junk Synchron or Glow-Up Bulb) with Tuning or Upstart Goblin to reach a Synchro boss; roughly 27% of going-first hands contain a Quickdraw Synchron (Inferred)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Effect Veiler and D.D. Crow to negate or banish the opponent's first play, then rebuild through Glow-Up Bulb and Junk Synchron recursion (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recur Level 2 or lower monsters from the GY with Junk Synchron and Glow-Up Bulb; Pot of Avarice needs 5 monsters in the GY (Inferred)
• After siding: No side deck is registered, so no post-side plan exists (Verified)

Why it scores here

This OCG Synchron list is scored as a system and not as an average of its cards. Its functional core is 13 Tuners and 15 Synchro monsters, with Quickdraw Synchron at only about 27% per going-first opening hand, so engine access is thin and the hand is brick-prone (22 of 51 Main cards are Level 0 spells or traps). The interaction package (Effect Veiler and D.D. Crow as hand traps, Dark Hole, Mystical Space Typhoon) and Synchro finishers such as Shooting Quasar Dragon and Junk Destroyer give it a real end-board and closing plan on paper. Popularity and archetype usage were not credited: the exact-name purity is 9.1% and both usage-core cards are absent. The list is illegal (six copy-limit violations, four Forbidden cards included), so per the legality rule its Final score is capped at 20 and the evaluation is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox. Structural ≈ 38.1, Going First ≈ 40, Going Second ≈ 42, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 25. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); off-archetype dilution (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional) = 35.5 before modifiers; modifiers -10 give 25.5 uncapped; capped at 20 under the illegal-list rule (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.27 · 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

• 15 Synchro monsters with strong finishers (Shooting Quasar Dragon 4000 ATK, Junk Destroyer 2600 ATK, Black Rose Dragon) (Verified card text)
• Five hand-trap copies (Effect Veiler x3, D.D. Crow x2) give going-second disruption (Verified card text)
• Recursion via Junk Synchron and Glow-Up Bulb helps rebuild after a broken opening (Inferred)

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: six copy-limit violations including four Forbidden cards (Verified)
• Brick-prone: 22 of 51 Main cards are Level 0 spells or traps (Verified composition)
• Off-archetype dilution: 9.1% exact-name purity, with no usage-core cards present (Verified)
• No side deck and no combo data, so no post-side plan or measured output (Verified)

Critical choke points

• Quickdraw Synchron as the main Tuner access point (about 27% per going-first hand) (Inferred)
• Any single Tuner missing from hand leaves the Synchro plan dead (Inferred)
