Yubel Deck #770740 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

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

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 4 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fiendsmith and Yubel Fusion/Link boards (Fiendsmith's Desirae, Fiendsmith's Lacrima, Yubel - Terror Incarnate, Fiendsmith's Requiem) built from searchers and hand traps; no recorded combo evidence, so this is structural reading only; Mulcharmy draw engine through Mulcharmy Fuwalos and Mulcharmy Purulia, plus Unchained Soul Lord of Yama and Unchained Soul of Rage link pressure
• Turn 1 (going first): Search with Spirit of Yubel, Fiendsmith Engraver and Opening of the Spirit Gates into a Fiend starter, then extend through Nightmare Throne or Fiendsmith's Tract toward a Fusion or Link (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, Evenly Matched and Droll & Lock Bird for the opponent's first summon or search, then rebuild with the searchers (Inferred from card text and hand-trap probability)
• Recovery: Spirit of Yubel and Nightmare Pain search Yubel monsters back from Deck, GY or banishment; Lacrima the Crimson Tears and Gruesome Grave Squirmer recur Fiend monsters (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: Not evaluable: the side deck is empty (0 cards), so there is no post-side plan

Why it scores here

This is an Illegal OCG list: four cards exceed their copy limits (Ash Blossom 3 of 2, Super Polymerization 3 of 2, Fiendsmith Engraver 3 of 1, Fiendsmith's Tract 2 of 1), so the score is a structural-only read capped at 30 rather than a normal contextual score. Within the structure, the searcher density (20 searcher-text cards, P of at least one in a 5-card opening hand about 0.91) and the archetype core group (about 0.83) suggest the Yubel and Fiendsmith engine can usually go live on turn 1 or 2 (Inferred). Eight hand traps and six negation-text cards give the list real interaction on the end board and on the opponent's first summon, with about 0.63 odds of at least one hand trap in a going-second 6-card hand (Inferred). The list has no recorded boards, so the combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inferences and carry low confidence. The score is built from consistency, interaction and resources on the system as a whole; it is not an average of card scores, and the archetype's usage stats confirm only that the core cards are real and accessible, not that the deck is strong. The empty side deck caps adaptability and the score.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary; Toolbox secondary, disclosed but not blended into the weights. Structural ≈ 56, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 58, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: illegal_copy_limit (-12). Final formula: Structural 56 with Meta provisional: 0.80*56 + 0.20*45 = 53.8, minus 12 illegal modifier = 41.8, then capped at 30 because the deck is Illegal (structural-only, theoretical)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.91 · 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 searcher package (20 searcher-text cards), so the engine is usually live early
• Eight hand traps and six negation-text cards give interaction on both going-first and going-second
• Extra Deck is fully used (8 Fusion, 7 Link) with strong closers such as Fiendsmith's Desirae and A Bao A Qu

Weaknesses

• Illegal: four cards exceed OCG copy limits
• No side deck (0 of 15), so there is no post-side adaptation
• Three archetype sub-engines (Yubel, Fiendsmith, Mulcharmy) with low exact-name purity (7.1%) raise brick and conflict risk
• Main deck is at 55 cards with 16 tech cards, which dilutes consistency

Critical choke points

• Yubel engine requires a Yubel monster or Spirit of Yubel to be live; without them the Fusion and Link lines do not start
• Fiendsmith lines depend on single-copy Limited cards (Engraver, Tract, Lacrima, Foolish Burial, Harpie's Feather Duster)

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: 55 main, 15 extra, 0 side; four copy-limit violations; Card text and stats for the listed cards; Archetype core inclusion stats (core present 7 of 13)
• Inferred: Starter access probabilities (0.91 searcher, 0.83 core) and hand-trap odds (0.63 going second); Midrange and Toolbox strategy classification from card text and composition; Dimension scores D1 to D11 and D14 from text and probabilities; Going-first and going-second plans from card text
• Provisional: Meta Power (null) and D13 matchup fit: no dated metagame sample or tournament link
• 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 exists in YGOVN for this deck Side deck is empty, so post-side analysis is not possible Meta Power is provisional without a dated metagame sample
