Blitzclique Deck #770997 — Yu-Gi-Oh! OCG

Deck — Deck Power Evaluation

Final Contextual Deck Power: 60/100 (±7 · Confidence: Medium)

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

Legality

Main 58 / Extra 12 / Side 0 — status: Legal.

Identity & game plan

• Win condition: Blitzclique destroy-and-summon chains put Thunder monsters onto the board (Surge, Crackle, Grain, Whisker), closed by 3000+ ATK beaters (Thunder King Kaiju, Psychic End Punisher, Juraishin, Lava Golem).; Extra Deck fusion, synchro, and xyz beaters (Alba-Lenatus, Thunder Dragon Colossus, TY-PHON) once the board is cleared.
• Turn 1 (going first): Open with Blitzclique searchers (Breakaway, Alternator, Emi, Hideout) into a 3-copy starter (Surge, Crackle, Grain); hold Ash Blossom, Infinite Impermanence, or Ghost Ogre for the opponent's first activation.
• Turn 2 (going second): Use the 13 hand traps (Ash Blossom, Impermanence, Ghost Ogre, Nibiru, Evenly Matched, Artifact Lancea) to break the opponent's first board, then Special Summon Thunder monsters from hand.
• Recovery: Blitzclique Steppleader and Overvolt return Thunder monsters and Blitzclique spells from the GY; Pot of Prosperity and Pot of Extravagance refill cards from the Deck.
• After siding: None. The deck runs 0 side cards, so the evidence contains no post-side plan.

Why it scores here

The deck reliably opens a Blitzclique starter: about 81% of opening hands hold at least one of the 16 starter-role copies, and 97% hold at least one archetype-core card. Its interaction is layered, with 13 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards, and 39 removal-text cards, which lets it answer a first board on either turn order, and its Thunder recursion (Steppleader, Overvolt) lets it rebuild after disruption. It closes through several 3000+ ATK monsters and the Extra Deck. Scoring is structural and based on the system: there are no recorded boards, so the ceiling and median are text-based inferences, and the 0-card side deck caps the adaptability score. Archetype popularity and the 100% core inclusion rate confirm the list is standard, but they did not earn points for power, and card scores were not averaged.

Dimension scores

How the score was computed

Strategy profile: Midrange primary, Toolbox secondary (weights shown raw; D13 dropped and remaining weights renormalized over 95 for the meta-neutral structural score). Structural ≈ 64.4, Going First ≈ 62, Going Second ≈ 66, Meta = provisional, Tournament Reliability ≈ 56. Modifiers: engine conflicts (-2); banlist exposure (-1). Final formula: 0.80*Structural + 0.20*TournamentReliability + ContextModifiers (Meta provisional, null); Structural = (sum of weighted dims excluding D13) / 95 = 64.4; 0.80*64.4 + 0.20*56 = 62.7; modifiers -3 -> 59.7 -> 60

Probability & combo summary

• Opening a starter: P(≥1) ≈ 0.81 · key two-card combo ≈ — · full-brick estimate ≈ 0.03 (all Inferred)
• Combo output: best PowerIndex —, median —, board-per-starter —
• Turn order: 0 going-first lines vs 0 going-second lines

Strengths

• Layered interaction: 13 hand traps, 11 negation-text cards, and 39 removal-text cards
• High starter access: about 81% of opening hands hold a Blitzclique starter
• Recursion through Steppleader and Overvolt supports recovery after disruption
• Strong Extra Deck closers at 2900 to 3500 ATK

Weaknesses

• No side deck, so no post-side plan against any matchup
• Only 30% exact-name archetype purity; Mulcharmy and Greed add off-engine cards
• No recorded boards, so the combo ceiling and median are unverified
• Main deck at the 58-card maximum, which lowers consistency and efficiency

Critical choke points

• Surge, Crackle, and Grain (3 copies each) as the main starters; losing them to a first-turn hand trap leaves little backup
• Pot of Extravagance and Pot of Prosperity, which spend Extra Deck cards to find cards

Recommended changes

Evidence & confidence

• Verified: Legal under OCG BanList with all restricted cards at or below legal copies; Main 58, Extra 12, Side 0 (within size rules); Card stats and text for all listed cards; Archetype usage: Surge, Crackle, Breakaway at 96 to 100% inclusion
• Inferred: Starter access probabilities (about 0.81 and 0.97); Brick proxy 0.026; Interaction and resilience reads from card text; Going-second hand-trap coverage 0.80
• Provisional: Meta health and matchup fit (D13), excluded from the structural score; Meta Power, null
• 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; going-first and going-second splits are Inferred no side deck, so no post-side evidence Meta Power is Provisional unless a dated metagame sample is supplied
