Snake-Eyes Deck #770246 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Illegal. 8 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Extra Deck boss monsters (Garunix Eternity, The Zombie Vampire, Flamberge Dragon, Diabellstar, Zealantis) reached through Fire King / Snake-Eye / Sinful Spoils starters, with hand traps and Spell/Trap removal as the interaction layer; Link-based Extra Deck extension (Promethean Princess, Amblowhale, Salamangreat Raging Phoenix) once a starter is live
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a Fire King or Snake-Eye starter (Ash, Arvata, Ulcanix, Kirin, Poplar), search a second FIRE monster or Spell/Trap, then Link or Xyz into a boss; hold hand traps for the opponent's first Main Phase play
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 2-3 hand traps (Ash, Droll, Infinite Impermanence, Nibiru, Artifact Lancea, Dominus Impulse) to answer the opponent's starter, then rebuild from the hand with Mulcharmy or Fire King searches
• Recovery: Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Purulia draw on opponent Summons, Snake-Eye Ash and Poplar re-search and recycle FIRE monsters from the GY, and Garunix/Kirin recursion returns boss monsters
• After siding: No Side Deck is registered, so no post-side plan can be evaluated; the Illegal list must be corrected before any side construction is meaningful

Why it scores here

The deck is scored as a system, not as an average of its cards. Its archetype core is only partly present: Snake-Eye and Fire King pieces are present, while S:P Little Knight and I:P Masquerena are missing, and exact-name archetype purity is 0% with 73 off-archetype copies spread across about 18 sub-archetypes. Its strongest feature is interaction density: 14 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards and 24 removal-text cards give end-board and going-second answers. Its conversion is weak to moderate. The starters are split across several engines, with no recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-only inference. Popularity of Snake-Eyes did not earn points, and the Forbidden and over-limit copies are a legality problem, not a power bonus. The deck is Illegal, so the normal contextual formula is capped and the score is theoretical and structural only.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Toolbox primary; Midrange secondary (no separate weight blend applied; Toolbox profile used as stated). Structural ≈ 48.7, Going First ≈ 42, Going Second ≈ 50, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-8); no side deck (-4). Final formula: Illegal cap: 0.80*Structural(48.7) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(40) = 47.0; plus context modifiers (-12) = 35.0; capped to 30 because the deck is Illegal. Theoretical/structural read only. Meta provisional.

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.24 · 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 hand-trap and negation layer (14 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards) gives going-second answers
• Removal and Spell/Trap destruction breadth (24 removal-text cards) supports end-board control
• Several high-ATK bosses and recursion (Garunix, Zombie Vampire, Flamberge) give closing power

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: 8 copy-limit/Forbidden violations
• Exact archetype purity 0%; engines are split across Fire King, Snake-Eye, Mulcharmy, Sinful Spoils and Azamina
• No Side Deck
• Core Snake-Eye link monsters (Little Knight, Masquerena) absent
• No recorded boards to confirm any combo line

Critical choke points

• Single-copy Snake-Eye Ash / Poplar as the only Snake-Eye search, both needed for the Snake-Eye route
• Forbidden Called by the Grave and Triple Tactics Talent are dead cards in any legal build
• Dependence on several Extra Deck bosses that are not reliably reached from hand

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 58 Main / 15 Extra, Illegal status, 8 violations (copy limit and Forbidden cards); Banlist status for all listed cards (Forbidden / Limited / Semi-Limited); Archetype purity 0% exact, 73 off-archetype copies; Card text confirmed for hand traps and removal cards in the excerpts; Usage: S:P Little Knight 76.9% and I:P Masquerena 69.2% inclusion; both absent from this list
• Inferred: Engine accessibility and hand-trap timing (hypergeometric and text reads); Combo ceiling and floor (text-only, no boards); Going-second interaction density; Resilience through recursion
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated metagame sample or tournament link); Post-side adaptability (no Side Deck)
• 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: going-first/second, matchup and brick/starter rates are Inferred or unknown Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Deck has no Side Deck registered, so post-side is unevaluable Deck title is null in the export
