Tri-Brigade Deck #770766 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 62/100 (±8 · Confidence: Medium)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Tempo, Link/Xyz mechanics
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 40 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Link and Xyz boards that reach 3000-ATK Link-4/Link-5 threats (Tri-Brigade Shuraig, Underworld Goddess, Utopic Draco Future), with Accesscode Talker and Rugal as additional beaters (Inferred from card text); Lyrilusc Xyz beats via Assembled Nightingale direct attacks, with Utopic Future as a negate-and-steal finisher (Inferred from card text)
• Turn 1 (going first): Open on Level-1 Winged Beast bodies (Turquoise Warbler, Beryl Canary, Cobalt Sparrow) that search or summon a second Level-1 body, then use Tri-Brigade Hammer or Lyrilusc Bird Call to Link Summon from the Extra Deck (Inferred from card text; no recorded boards)
• Turn 2 (going second): Six-card hand builds the same Level-1 chain while using Airborne Assault, Revolt and Phantom Feathers as interaction on the opponent's turn; there is no hand trap, so the plan depends on the engine running through a board (Inferred)
• Recovery: Recur Lyrilusc monsters and Tri-Brigade Beast or Winged Beast monsters from the GY (Celestine Wagtail, Beryl Canary, Tri-Brigade Hammer banish-for-Link) to rebuild after one disruption (Inferred from card text)
• After siding: None. The deck has 0 side-deck cards, so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a functional starter: the 13 searcher-text cards give about an 88% chance of at least one searcher in a 5-card opening hand, and 12 Level-1 bodies in the Main Deck feed the Link and Xyz routes (Inferred from the hypergeometric estimate). Its ceiling comes from the Extra Deck, where Shuraig, Underworld Goddess and Utopic Draco Future are 3000-ATK threats, and the floor is held up by GY recursion through the Lyrilusc and Tri-Brigade cards. Interaction is card-based rather than hand-based (no hand traps or floodgates), so going second is weaker and the score reflects that gap. The deck has no side deck, which removes any post-side adjustment. Popularity was not rewarded: the archetype's usage stats show only 1 of 5 core cards present, and the guide only confirms the deck is re-emerging. No card scores were averaged; the score is for the deck as a system.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 66.8, Going First ≈ 66, Going Second ≈ 60, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 58. Modifiers: engine compactness (2); no interaction in hand (-2); no side deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional; no dated metagame sample)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.88 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.12 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Searcher density: 13 searcher-text cards give about an 88% chance of a searcher in opening 5 (Inferred)
• Multiple independent Level-1 starters from the Lyrilusc and Tri-Brigade cores (Inferred)
• Strong GY recursion for rebuilding after disruption (Inferred)
• Compact main deck: 19 distinct cards, coherent Winged Beast and Beast core (verified)

Weaknesses

• No hand traps or floodgates; going-second interaction relies on on-board cards (verified count, Inferred impact)
• No side deck; no post-side adaptation (verified)
• Usage-core cards Droll and Lock Bird, Springans Kitt and Ferrijit are absent; only 1 of 5 core cards present (verified usage stat)
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are text-based only (verified gap)

Critical choke points

• Opening hand without a searcher (about 12% of 5-card hands) (Inferred)
• Engine depends on Level-1 bodies and Extra Deck Links; a single board-wipe or Link-target disruption can end the turn (Inferred)

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal: 40 main, 15 extra, 0 side; Linkuriboh and One for One each run at the 1-copy Limited cap; Copy histogram 1x:5, 2x:7, 3x:7; 19 distinct main cards; Extra Deck: 5 Xyz and 10 Link; Core usage: 1 of 5 core cards present (20%)
• Inferred: P(>=1 searcher in opening 5) = 0.877 (searcher-text proxy); Primary plan: Level-1 chain into Link Summon via Hammer or Bird Call; Going-second weakness due to lack of hand traps; Recursion-based recovery from GY
• Provisional: Meta power (no dated metagame sample); Matchup coverage and format fit
• Data gaps: No combos supplied; combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No win-rate telemetry for going-first, going-second, matchups or brick rates Meta Power is Provisional without a dated metagame sample Card text is excerpted in evidence; several role reads are confirmed only from excerpts
