Hecahands Deck #770988 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 35/100 (±8 · Confidence: Low)

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

Legality

Main 42 / Extra 16 / Side 0 — status under the rules at evaluation time: Illegal. 2 violation(s).

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Hecahands Illusion-type beatsticks and Extra Deck Fusion/Link/Xyz finishers (Guardian Chimera, Chaos Angel, Chimera the Illusion Beast) after hand-trap-protected board development; Magician of Dark Chaos - Black Chaos via Light and Darkness Ritual with Skull Archfiend of Chaos recursion
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Hecahands/Illusion searchers (Gazelle, Nightmare Apprentice, Cornfield Coatl, Hecahands Yadel) to reach a Fusion or Link starter, holding Ash Blossom and Ghost Belle for the opponent's first activation
• Turn 2 (going second): Hold 6-card hands with 2-3 hand traps (Ash, Ghost Ogre, Ghost Belle, Effect Veiler, Droll and Lock Bird) to answer the opponent's starter, then rebuild through Mulcharmy Fuwalos draws and Hecahands recursion
• Recovery: Recycle hand-trap costs (Ash, Ghost Belle, Veiler, Yad'al-Hecahands) and Hecahands Yadel/Ibtel shuffle-searches to rebuild a board after a single interruption
• After siding: Not evaluable: no side deck is present (side_count 0), so no post-side plan exists in this list

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a hand-trap-backed plan: P(>=1 archetype-core card in a 5-card opening hand) is about 0.86, and P(>=1 hand trap in a 6-card going-second hand) is about 0.96, so it can usually answer an opposing starter. Its conversion ceiling and median output cannot be measured because no combo boards were supplied, so both scores are text-only inferences. Interaction density is the strongest system trait, with 16 negation-text cards and several hand traps, which supports a Stun/Midrange read. The score is held down by an illegal list (Ash Blossom over the copy limit and 16 Extra Deck cards against a 15-card maximum), the absence of tournament or side-deck data, and a 3-of Ash Blossom that is weak in a 5-card hand (about 0.32). The score comes from consistency, interaction and resilience measured on the deck as a system, not from averaging card scores, and popularity did not earn any points. Because the deck is illegal, the result is structural-only and capped.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange. Structural ≈ 52, Going First ≈ 55, Going Second ≈ 65, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 45. Modifiers: Over copy limit (-6); Extra Deck over size (-4); No combo or tournament evidence (-2). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability (Meta provisional); formula gives ~39 after modifiers, capped to 35 because the list is Illegal (theoretical/structural-only)

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.86 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.14 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Dense hand-trap and negation coverage (16 negation-text cards) that survives a going-second opposing starter
• Searcher density (18 searcher-text cards) gives reliable access to Hecahands and Illusion pieces
• Recursion routes (Mulcharmy, Yad'al-Hecahands, Ghost Belle) allow hand-trap costs to be recovered

Weaknesses

• Illegal list: Ash Blossom over copy limit and Extra Deck over size
• Low archetype purity (8.6%) with 53 off-archetype copies
• No side deck, so no post-side adaptation
• Ash Blossom at 3 copies is weak in opening hands (P(>=1 in hand5) = 0.32)

Critical choke points

• Single-card Hecahands core: Ib'al-Hecahands and Tartaros are absent from the list, so Yadel/Ibtel must carry the bootstrap
• Extra Deck overflow means the list cannot be played as built in OCG

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Main 42, Extra 16, Side 0 counts; Ash Blossom & Joyous Spring run 3 copies against legal 2 (Semi-Limited); Extra Deck over size by one card; Archetype-core P(>=1 in 5-card hand) = 0.86 from the hypergeometric table
• Inferred: Consistency and brick estimates from hypergeometric draw odds; Interaction density from card text (16 negation, 18 removal); Going-second hand-trap read (P=0.96); Pilotability from card complexity
• Provisional: Meta Power (no dated metagame sample); Format fit and matchup coverage (no tournament data)
• Data gaps: No combos supplied, so combo floor, median and ceiling are text-only inference No tournament link, so archetype meta-share and per-pilot match record are absent No side deck (side_count 0), so post-side adaptability is unscoreable No win-rate telemetry exists in YGOVN, so matchup and turn-order results are Inferred or Unknown Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
