Blitzclique Deck #770265 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blitzclique Thunder monsters chained through hand-based searches and destruction effects, closing with Whisker Blitzclique (3000 ATK) or a Synchro/Xyz/Link boss; Thunder King Kaiju and Psychic End Punisher as extra-deck boss threats after the Thunder engine is online
• Turn 1 (going first): Turn 1: Surge, Crackle or Grain Blitzclique revealed from hand to destroy a monster or Spell/Trap, then Special Summon a Thunder monster from hand; Turn 2: Blitzclique Alternator or Breakaway to search and extend into a Synchro/Xyz/Link boss
• Turn 2 (going second): Respond on the opponent's turn with Ash Blossom, Ghost Ogre, Infinite Impermanence or Crackle Blitzclique to break their starter, then rebuild through the Thunder search chain
• Recovery: Blitzclique - Steppleader and Emi Blitzclique recover Thunder monsters from the GY to hand, and Pot of Prosperity or Pot of Extravagance refuel the hand
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no Side Deck, so no post-side plan exists

Why it scores here

This list is Illegal in OCG (three Ash Blossom, one each of Triple Tactics Talent, F.A. Dawn Dragster, Naturia Beast and Number 41, all Forbidden or over the copy limit), so it receives a structural-only read capped at 30 rather than a normal contextual score. The Blitzclique core is dense: about 96% of hands contain at least one archetype card, and the hand-trap and searcher groups give the deck a real first-turn engine and two independent interaction routes. Its consistency and interaction density carry the structural read, while the lack of combos, a Side Deck and any meta sample keep the combo ceiling, floor and matchup dimensions at inferred or provisional levels. The score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience measured on the deck as a system; it does not come from Blitzclique's archetype popularity or from averaging the individual card scores.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary with Toolbox weighting for the tech/hand-trap package (approximately 80/20, applied as the Midrange profile with no secondary reweighting). Structural ≈ 59, Going First ≈ 60, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 55. Modifiers: banlist_exposure (-12). Final formula: Unconstrained: 0.80*59 + 0.20*55 = 58, then banlist-exposure modifier -12 = 46. Illegal cap applied: 30 (theoretical/structural only). Meta Power is provisional (null).

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.96 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.04 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Archetype core present in about 96% of opening hands
• Dense interaction: 11 hand traps, 12 negation-text cards, 36 removal-text cards
• Multiple independent starters with recursion through Steppleader and Emi

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: copy-limit and banlist violations must be removed before it is playable
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• Low exact-name archetype purity (28.8%) with heavy Thunder/Greed/Mulcharmy splash
• No recorded combos: the combo ceiling and floor are text-only estimates

Critical choke points

• Thunder monster presence: most lines need a Thunder monster in hand or on field
• Forbidden-card removal is required before the list is legal; the boss Extra cards depend on the same engine

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 58, Extra 15, Side 0; within OCG size limits (40-60 / 0-15); Five copy-limit or banlist violations: Ash Blossom x3, Triple Tactics Talent, F.A. Dawn Dragster, Naturia Beast, Number 41; Archetype core present in 12/12 usage-stat cards; exact-name purity 28.8%
• Inferred: P(>=1 archetype core card in opener) ~0.96; Brick estimate ~0.04 from the core-group proxy; Interaction density and resilience read from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power and matchup fit (no dated meta sample)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied: combo ceiling, floor and median are text-only inference No tournament link: archetype meta-share and pilot record absent No Side Deck: post-side performance and adaptability unmeasurable No win-rate telemetry for OCG: matchup and turn-order signals are inferred
