Phantom Beast (Chimera) Deck #770976 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 37/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 55 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Fusion Summon large Fiend/Illusion bosses (Hecahands Xeno 3400 ATK, Luce the Dusk's Dark 3500 ATK, Thunder King 3300 ATK) from the Extra Deck, using the Hecahands, Yubel and Chimera Fusion engine.; Yubel boards that cannot be destroyed by battle, with Spirit of Yubel and Yubel - Terror Incarnate as resilient bodies.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open a searcher (Gazelle, Nightmare Apprentice, Chimera Fusion, Big-Winged Berfomet) and use it to reach a Fusion Summon with Super Polymerization or Chimera Fusion, while keeping hand traps available.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use hand traps (D.D. Crow, Skull Meister) and Hecahands traps (Yad'al-Hecahands, Ib'al-Hecahands) to interrupt the opponent, then extend with a Fusion boss.
• Recovery: Recover through recursion and searchers: Samsara Lotus and Gruesome Grave Squirmer revive from the GY, and Hecahands monsters return to hand or Deck.
• After siding: Not assessable: the deck has no Side Deck (Side Deck size 0), so there is no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck is Illegal as submitted: it runs 3 copies of Super Polymerization against a limit of 2 and holds 16 Extra Deck cards against a limit of 15, so it does not receive a normal contextual score and this evaluation is structural only. Its engine is the 12-copy archetype core (Gazelle, Chimera Fusion, Nightmare Apprentice, Mirror Swordknight) with about 89% chance of at least one searcher in an opening 5-card hand, which keeps the first turns reasonably live. Its end-board is credible, with several 3300-3500 ATK Fusion bosses and 11 negation-text cards, though the list spreads across Hecahands, Yubel, Chimera, D.D., Kaiju, HERO and Venom, so the engine is less coherent than its archetype label suggests. No combos were recorded, so the ceiling and median scores are text-based inference and not observed output. The list has no Side Deck, which removes any post-side plan, and the meta-share context is absent, so Meta Power stays provisional. The score was not produced by averaging card scores, and archetype popularity was not credited.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 50, Going First ≈ 48, Going Second ≈ 52, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 40. Modifiers: banlist exposure (-6); extra deck over limit (-2); no side deck (-3). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional), then context modifiers; illegal list capped to structural-only band

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.89 · 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

• Core searchers (Gazelle, Nightmare Apprentice, Chimera Fusion) give about 89% searcher access in an opening 5-card hand
• Large Fusion bosses at 3100-3500 ATK give real closing power
• Negation and removal text density (11 and 23 cards) supports end-board interaction

Weaknesses

• Illegal as submitted: copy-limit violation and Extra Deck over size
• Spread across 9 sub-archetypes, so the engine lacks a single coherent core
• No Side Deck, so no post-side plan
• No recorded combos, so floor and median output are unknown

Critical choke points

• Spirit of Yubel, Yubel and Hecahands Xeno all depend on a limited set of 1-copy enablers
• Opening without a searcher or hand trap leaves the going-second plan without an interruption

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legality: Super Polymerization 3 copies vs limit 2 (Semi-Limited); Extra Deck 16 cards vs limit 15; Main deck 55 cards is within the 40-60 size rule; No Side Deck (Side Deck size 0)
• Inferred: Consistency: P(at least 1 searcher in 5) ~0.89; core group P ~0.72; Brick and garnet burden from off-archetype spread and singleton enablers; Interaction density from card text (11 negation, 23 removal)
• Provisional: Meta Power and 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 match record absent no win-rate telemetry; going-first, going-second and brick rates are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied No Side Deck supplied, so post-side adaptability cannot be measured
