Kewl Tune Deck #770913 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 30/100 (±10 · Confidence: Low)

• Primary strategy: Combo
• Secondary strategies: Tempo, Stun
• Format: ocg

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 15 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 5 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Tuner-chain Synchro Summons into 2800-3500 ATK boss monsters (Zalen, Chaos Angel, Kewl Tune B2B, Super Starslayer TY-PHON), backed by Kewl Tune Mix/Cue/Reco/Synchro searches; Kewl Tune Loudness War (3000 DEF) and Kewl Tune RS as Tuner-protection and negation boards that stall the opponent while the Synchro line continues
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with a Kewl Tune searcher (Mix/Reco/Cue/JJ) into a Tuner-based Normal Summon or Special Summon, then reach a Synchro Summon using a Kewl Tune Tuner plus a non-Tuner; hold Ash/Infinite Impermanence for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Use Ash Blossom, Effect Veiler, Ghost Ogre, Droll & Lock Bird and Nibiru to answer the opponent's opening search or board, then rebuild with Kewl Tune Synchro or Duelist Genesis
• Recovery: Recurrence through Kewl Tune Playlist, Kewl Tune Reco/Mix GY effects, Starjunk and Jet Synchron GY effects, and Triple Tactics Thrust to re-find Synchro starters after a hand-trap-heavy turn
• After siding: Not evaluable: the deck has no side deck, so no post-side plan exists in the export

Why it scores here

The list is Illegal under OCG rules: three Ash Blossom copies exceed the Semi-Limited cap of 2, and three copies each of Kewl Tune Cue, Synchro and Reco exceed Limited caps of 1, and the deck has no side deck. The score therefore is not a normal Final Contextual score and is capped low, reported as theoretical/structural only. Structurally the deck's 55-card main has 38 Tuner-type cards and only about 7 non-Tuner monsters, which gives it real Synchro access through Kewl Tune but a high brick risk when hands are Tuner-heavy. Interaction density is strong: 19 hand-trap-tagged cards, 18 negation-text cards and a 93% going-second hand-trap hit rate make the deck difficult to answer with a single piece. Ceiling is credible from the Extra Deck (Zalen, Chaos Angel, Kewl Tune B2B) but no recorded boards exist to confirm a median. The score was built from the system (consistency, interaction, Extra Deck coverage) and was not averaged from card scores; popularity (Kewl Tune core present in 14 copies) earned no points on its own.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Combo. Structural ≈ 53, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 56, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 35. Modifiers: illegal copy-limit violations (-12); no side deck (-3). Final formula: Illegal list: normal formula 0.80*Structural(53) + 0.20*TournamentReliability(35) ≈ 49 is computed but NOT used; capped low to 30 per the Illegal rule (theoretical/structural only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.25 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.22 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense Synchro engine with 14 Synchro Extra Deck slots and 14 Kewl Tune Tuner-chain cards
• Strong negation package: Ash, Impermanence, Evenly Matched, Ghost Ogre, Effect Veiler, Droll & Lock Bird
• High going-second hand-trap density

Weaknesses

• Illegal as listed: copy limits exceeded on four cards
• Only about 7 non-Tuner monsters in the 55-card main, causing Synchro bricks
• No side deck
• 43 off-archetype copies dilute the engine

Critical choke points

• Non-Tuner availability for Synchro Summons (7 main-deck non-Tuners)
• Kewl Tune Tuner count after hand traps are spent
• Single-copy Limited boss/searcher cards (Cue, Reco, Synchro) that must be cut to legal counts

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 55, Extra 15, Side 0 counts; Copy-limit violations for Ash Blossom, Kewl Tune Cue, Kewl Tune Synchro, Kewl Tune Reco; Archetype purity 38.6% and card-type spread; Hand-trap/negation/searcher tags from card text
• Inferred: Brick rate around 0.22 from Tuner-heavy composition; Going-second hand-trap coverage 0.93; Extra Deck ceiling of 2800–3500 ATK; Interaction strength from negation count
• Provisional: Meta Power; Matchup fit (D13); Median output (D4)
• Data gaps: Illegal list: no legal-copy correction is applied, so the score is theoretical only no combos supplied; floor, median and ceiling are text-only no tournament link; archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record absent no side deck, so post-side plan and D12 are unobservable usage_statistics flags Kewl Tune B2B, RS, Remix, Crackle and Track Maker as not in this deck although the card list includes them; treated as a data inconsistency and not used for scoring no win-rate telemetry; going-first/second and matchup rates unknown
